 https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr[Aktualizr] (and https://github.com/advancedtelematic/rvi_sota_client[RVI SOTA client]) add authentication and provisioning capabilities to OTA and are integrated with OSTree. You can connect with these open-source applications or sign up for a free account at https://connect.ota.here.com/[HERE OTA Connect] to get started.

+If you don't already have a Yocto project that you want to add OTA to, you can use the xref:dev@getstarted::raspberry-pi.adoc[HERE OTA Connect Quickstart] project to rapidly get up and running on a Raspberry Pi. It takes a standard https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/projects/poky[poky] distribution, and adds OTA and OSTree capabilities.
