The official Mender documentation explains how Mender works. This is simply a board-specific complement to the official documentation. Board description BeagleBone Black is a low-cost, community-supported development platform for developers and hobbyists based on AM335x 1GHz ARM® Cortex-A8 [image] …

Has anyone attempted to use Grub with the BeagleBone? Mender docs state : By default, Mender uses GRUB to boot, and this is the recommended bootloader to use, even on platforms that ordinarily use U-Boot. However, U-Boot can be used in cases where using GRUB is not possible or unsuccessful. So I…

Hi @pdp7 , the default configuration of the Mender integration on the Beaglebone Black is to use Grub as an EFI application to boot. As far as I know, using the steps documented here that should be the default. Have you tried it? I’ve not booted by BBB recently but in the past it used to work. Drew …

I think I making a minor mistake somewhere but I get the error ERROR: Layer 'mender-demo' depends on layer 'openembedded-layer', but this layer is not enabled in your configuration Here is my transcript running the above instructions: pdp7@x1:~/dev$ BRANCH="warrior" pdp7@x1:~/dev$ mkdir mender-be…

It looks like there was a dependency added on meta-oe to get the jq package but the manifests may not have been updated. You can probably just manually checkout meta-oe on the warrior branch and add it to your bblayers.conf, or temporarily revert that patch. It may then fail to build due to the miss…

Maybe it was because of warrior? I just tried this which uses dunfell in a fresh directory and it did complete ok: mkdir mender-beaglebone && cd mender-beaglebone repo init -u https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community -m meta-mender-beaglebone/scripts/manifest-beaglebone.xml -b dunfe…

Thanks, yes, indeed GRUB is working. I was able to build mender image with dunfell and boot it OK on the BBB. However, there was some odd error messages about error: can't find command. It doesn’t seem to cause a problem but do you know what would cause that? U-Boot SPL 2020.01 (Jan 06 2020 - …

That’s definitely not right. There seems to be a variable undefined or something in the grub.cfg file. Perhaps @kacf has a clue.

It turns out it was my mistake. I had accidentally written those paths to the ./EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg instead of a file I was trying to paste notes in. It is now working normally: U-Boot SPL 2020.01 (Jan 06 2020 - 20:56:31 +0000) Trying to boot from MMC1 U-Boot 2020.01 (Jan 06 2020 - 20:56:31 +0000…
