I’m looking to integrate this board with Mender, and I found a helpful post for the [Toradex Verdin IMX8mp](https://hub.mender.io/t/toradex-verdin-imx8m-plus/5026). However, I was unable to modify the [community meta layer](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community/tree/kirkstone/meta-mender-toradex-nxp) to make it work with the Axon-Wizard. I’m new to Yocto and Mender, and I wasn’t able to figure out how to modify the community layer.

Hi @zetacu,
It’s been a while since I’ve had a look at the Technexion stuff, but unfortunately it was not a lot of fun (read: badly maintained) back then. At a first glance, they seem to have a BSP layer for the `kirkstone` release: [GitHub - TechNexion/meta-tn-imx-bsp at kirkstone\_5.15.71-2.2.0-stable](https://github.com/TechNexion/meta-tn-imx-bsp/tree/kirkstone_5.15.71-2.2.0-stable)
As a very rough strategy, I’d start out by building that and making sure the result is working, then extending it with the generic `meta-mender-nxp` layer ([meta-mender-community/meta-mender-nxp at kirkstone · mendersoftware/meta-mender-community · GitHub](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community/tree/kirkstone/meta-mender-nxp)). The Toradex stuff has some peculiarities which will likely get in your way.
Greets,
Josef

Hi @TheYoctoJester,
When I do a clean Yocto build. Meaning: I pull the [GitHub - TechNexion/meta-tn-imx-bsp at kirkstone\_5.15.71-2.2.0-stable](https://github.com/TechNexion/meta-tn-imx-bsp/tree/kirkstone_5.15.71-2.2.0-stable), sync the repo, and build the `imx-image-core`. This image works just fine. It has nothing as to be expected, but I can login and execute some commands.
Following your suggestions, When I add the mender layers:
```auto
BBLAYERS += " ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-mender/meta-mender-core "
BBLAYERS += " ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-mender-community/meta-mender-nxp "
```
I appended the content from the `meta-mender-community/templates/local.conf.append` to my `local.conf`. After that I tried to build the image. It reaches to 99% but then it fails.
```auto
$ bitbake imx-image-core

Hi @zetacu,
the main problem probably is the `/boot` partition being too small. Try adding something like this to your `local.conf`:
```auto
MENDER_BOOT_PART_SIZE_MB = "64"
```
Greets,
