Hello everyone,
I am a beginner just starting with Yocto and Mender, and I would like to know how I can run the Yocto Project and Mender on my BeagleBone Black. Is there any updated documentation I can refer to? How can I flash the Yocto Project onto the BeagleBone Black and boot the system via a microSD card?
Thank you!
Hi @allisyuxianshen,
Thanks for reaching out!
To get started, the easiest way is to set up a Yocto build based on the tested configurations which are provided in meta-mender-community:
beaglebone.yml: the generic onebeaglebone-uboot.yml: using the u-boot bootloaderBoth use kas as the tool to build them, you can find a tutorial on how to get started it at Using kas to reproduce your Yocto builds.
Please note that the canonical way for Yocto is to build your image from source, not downloading a prepared one, so the above mentioned process will require quite a bit of computing time.
Greetz,
Josef
