Dear community,
I recently had to upgrade my entire build to Yocto 2.7 (warrior). I’m aware that Mender doesn’t officially support this latest version yet, but was hopeful that I might still get basic standalone updating working for my first batch of devices after my image built successfuly.
I’m using:
- Yocto 2.7
- meta-mender@master
- Mender 2.0.1 (runtime: go1.12.1)
- Raspberry Pi Zero W
- meta-raspberry@master
- Source meta-candy
When I try to install an update using:
root@raspberrypi0-wifi:~# mender -install http://192.168.1.121:5000/core-image-base-raspberrypi0-wifi--20190725204233.mender
The process results in the following error:
Failed to read the current active partition: No match between boot and root partitions.: Failed mender_saveenv_canary check. There is an error in the U-Boot setup. Likely causes are: 1) Mismatch between the U-Boot boot loader environment location and the location specified in /etc/fw_env.config. 2) ‘mender_setup’ is not run by the U-Boot boot script: exit status 1

I configure meta-mender as follows:
#
# Mender
#
# These are all provided by the meta-mender-core and meta-mender-raspberry layers
#
MENDER_FEATURES_ENABLE += "\
mender-uboot \
mender-image \
mender-image-sd \
mender-install \
"
# Memory card storage
MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE = "/dev/mmcblk0"
# Memory card labeled 8GiB
MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB = "7555"
# These are simply to align with how the "stock" RPi machines are
# configured.
MENDER_PARTITION_ALIGNMENT = "4194304"
MENDER_BOOT_PART_SIZE_MB = "40"
MENDER_DATA_PART_SIZE_MB = "512"
# rpi-base.inc removes these as they are normally installed on to the
# vfat boot partition. To be able to update the Linux kernel Mender
# uses an image that resides on the root file system and below line
# ensures that they are installed to /boot
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "kernel-image kernel-devicetree"
# The artifact name is the Bitcoin block number at the point of the build
# https://blockstream.info/block/00000000000000000013680dae0234163c1b7af585990e694b621381d02b47da
MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME = "582010"
# Mender will build an image called `sdimg` which shall be used instead
# of `rpi-sdimg`.
IMAGE_FSTYPES_remove += "rpi-sdimg"
# Use the same type here as specified in ARTIFACTIMG_FSTYPE to avoid
# building an unneeded image file.
SDIMG_ROOTFS_TYPE = "ext4"
ARTIFACTIMG_FSTYPE = "ext4"
And set RPI_USE_U_BOOT = "1".
The full configuration can be found in meta-candy/conf/distro/candy.conf.
I’ve tried to figure out where exactly the cause for this problem is, but failed in finding out. Now I don’t know if I should pursue this path further or revert to thud and try to resolve the other unrelated issues that made me upgrade in the first place.
I’d greatly appreciate any hints on how this could be resolved and feedback if there’s an easy fix at all. Thank you! 
David
