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`](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community/blob/scarthgap/kas/beaglebone.yml): the generic one
- [`beaglebone-uboot.yml`](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community/blob/scarthgap/kas/beaglebone-uboot.yml): using the `u-boot` bootloader

Both 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](https://hub.mender.io/t/using-kas-to-reproduce-your-yocto-builds/6020).

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
