Thank you for speedy reply.
Fristly, I must upgrade my Mender-client to 2.0. Then I will review the update modules.
Now I have to add them to the build / conf / local.conf file:
MACHINE ??= ‘imx6ul-var-dart’
DISTRO ?= ‘fslc-x11’
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= “package_rpm”
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= “debug-tweaks”
USER_CLASSES ?= “buildstats image-mklibs image-prelink”
PATCHRESOLVE = “noop”
BB_DISKMON_DIRS ??= "

STOPTASKS,{DL_DIR},1G,100K
STOPTASKS,{SSTATE_DIR},1G,100K \

ABORT,{TMPDIR},100M,1K
ABORT,{DL_DIR},100M,1K \
ABORT,{SSTATE_DIR},100M,1K
ABORT,/tmp,10M,1K"
PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-qemu-native = " sdl"
PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-nativesdk-qemu = " sdl"
CONF_VERSION = “1”
DL_DIR ?= “${BSPDIR}/downloads/”
ACCEPT_FSL_EULA = “1”

This really saves a lot of disk space!
INHERIT += “rm_work”
The name of the disk image and Artifact that will be built.
This is what the device will report that it is running, and different updates
must have different names because Mender will skip installation of an Artifact
if it is already installed.
MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME = “release-1”
INHERIT += “mender-full”
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = “systemd”
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = “sysvinit”
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = “”
Build for Hosted Mender
To get your tenant token:
- click your email at the top right and then “My organization”
- press the “COPY TO CLIPBOARD”
- assign content of clipboard to MENDER_TENANT_TOKEN
#MENDER_SERVER_URL = “https://hosted.mender.io”
#MENDER_TENANT_TOKEN = “”
Build for Mender demo server
Uncomment below and update IP address to match the machine running the
Mender demo server
MENDER_DEMO_HOST_IP_ADDRESS = “192.168.6.90”
Build for Mender production setup (on-prem)
Uncomment below and update the URL to match your configured domain
name and provide the path to the generated server.crt file.
NOTE! It is recommend that you provide below information in your custom
Yocto layer and this is only for demo purposes. See linked documentation
for additional information.
#MENDER_SERVER_URL = “https://docker.mender.io”
#FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend_pn-mender := “<DIRECTORY-CONTAINING-server.crt>:”
#SRC_URI_append_pn-mender = " file://server.crt"
Mender storage configuration
More details on these variables is available at
Also, please be sure to check other config files as other
layers, config fragments, etc may attempt to set values
for specific platforms. Using "bitbake -e "
can help determine which files are setting these values
in a given configuration.
MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB = “2048”
MENDER_BOOT_PART_SIZE_MB = “16”
MENDER_DATA_PART_SIZE_MB = “1024”
MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE = “/dev/mmcblk0”
MENDER_BOOT_PART = “${MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE_BASE}1”
MENDER_DATA_PART = “${MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE_BASE}4”

This will make sure that our SPL + u-boot.img is embedded in the sdimg at
a 1kb offset.
MENDER_IMAGE_BOOTLOADER_FILE = “u-boot-spl.img”
MENDER_IMAGE_BOOTLOADER_BOOTSECTOR_OFFSET = “2”
Remove the unneeded VFAT boot partition
IMAGE_BOOT_FILES = “”
MENDER_BOOT_PART_SIZE_MB = “0”

SDCard Settings
MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE_var-som-mx6 = “/dev/mmcblk1”
MENDER_UBOOT_STORAGE_DEVICE_var-som-mx6 = “0”
MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE_imx6ul-var-dart = “/dev/mmcblk0”
UBOOT_CONFIG_var-som-mx6 = “sd”
UBOOT_CONFIG_imx6ul-var-dart = “sd”
MENDER_FEATURES_ENABLE_append = " mender-image-sd "
MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB_var-som-mx6 = “1024”
MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB_imx6ul-var-dart = “1024”
At the end of this local.conf file, I will add the version information that you said (mender-client 2.0).
PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender = “2.0%”
PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender-artifact = “3.0%”
PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender-artifact-native = “3.0%”
Then, I get a Yocto image again and print the .sdimg extention file to my sd card. After I print our .sdimg file to our sd card, insert the my device to sd card and burn it. I can check it on the mender demo server, right?
