Bad ext4 superblock offset after updating i.MX6ULL EVK demo to Zeus

Hi, I’m proceeding to integrate the Mender client into our existing Yocto build for our custom iMX6ULL board. We’re using Zeus, so the first step is to update brianPTL’s iMX6ULL integration to Zeus on the IMX6ULL EVK. I got everything patched and built, but when I boot it up on the EVK, it fails to mount the /data partition. I found that the ext4 superblock is at offset 0x0800400 in /dev/mmcblk1p4 (instead of the expected 0x400).

Does anyone have an idea about what could be mis-configured to cause this?

Thanks,

@drewmoseley Can you point me to the place where the /data partition is formatted?

Thanks,
