 If you already have a Yocto-based project and you want to add atomic filesystem updates to it, you just need to do three things:

 2.  Clone BSP integration layer (`meta-updater-$\{PLATFORM}`, e.g. https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-raspberrypi[meta-updater-raspberrypi]) and add it to your `conf/bblayers.conf`. If your board isn't supported yet, you could write a BSP integration for it yourself. See the <<Adding support for your board>> section for the details.

If you are using "poky", the default distro in Yocto, you can change it in your `conf/local.conf` to "poky-sota". Alternatively, if you are using your own or third party distro configuration, you can add `INHERIT += " sota"` to it, thus combining capabilities of your distro with meta-updater features.

 You can then build your image as usual, with bitbake. After building the root file system, bitbake will then create an https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/adapting-existing/[OSTree-enabled version] of it, commit it to your local OSTree repo and (optionally) push it to a remote server. Additionally, a live disk image will be created (normally named `$\{IMAGE_NAME}.-sdimg-ota` e.g. `core-image-raspberrypi3.rpi-sdimg-ota`). You can control this behaviour through <<sota-related-variables-in-localconf,variables in your local.conf>>.

 You can set `SOTA_PACKED_CREDENTIALS` in your `local.conf` to automatically synchronize your build results with a remote server. Credentials are stored in an archive as described in the https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr/blob/master/docs/credentials.adoc[aktualizr documentation].
 
+=== aktualizr configuration
+
+https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr[Aktualizr] supports a variety of https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr/blob/master/docs/configuration.adoc[configuration options via a configuration file and the command line]. There are two primary ways to control aktualizr's configuration from meta-updater.
+
+First, you can set `SOTA_CLIENT_PROV` to control which provisioning recipe is used. Each recipe installs an appropriate `sota.toml` file from aktualizr according to the provisioning needs. See the <<sota-related-variables-in-localconf,SOTA-related variables in local.conf>> section for more information.
+
+Second, you can write recipes to install additional config files with customized options. A few recipes already exist to address common needs and provide an example:
+
+* link:recipes-sota/config/aktualizr-example-interface.bb[aktualizr-example-interface.bb] will configure aktualizr to connect to an example interface for a legacy flasher. This is intended to be used in conjunction with the `aktualizr-examples` package. See https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr/blob/master/docs/legacysecondary.adoc[legacysecondary.adoc] in the aktualizr repo for more information.
+* link:recipes-sota/config/aktualizr-disable-send-ip.bb[aktualizr-disable-send-ip.bb] disables the reporting of networking information to the server. This is enabled by default and supported by https://app.atsgarage.com[ATS Garage]. However, if you are using a different server that does not support this feature, you may want to disable it in aktualizr.
+* link:recipes-sota/config/aktualizr-log-debug.bb[aktualizr-log-debug.bb] sets the log level of aktualizr to 0 (trace). The default is 2 (info). This recipe is intended for development and debugging purposes.
+
+To use these recipes, you will need to add them to your image with a line such as `IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " aktualizr-log-debug "` in your `local.conf`.

 There are a few settings that can be controlled in `local.conf` to simplify the development process:
