Hi I am using Apalis imx 8 board. We have added mender layers to our custom Yocto Build. Layers have been added and local.conf file changed accordingly. We use QT boot to Qt 6.4.3 layer. Integrating mender layer have worked and we created tezii image for our board. Loaded this image using Torade…

Nothing immediately comes to mind. My best guess is something is not right in the uboot environment itself. Can you post the output of “printenv” from the U-Boot prompt? Drew

Here is my boot env: b2qt-apalis-imx8:~24>fw_printenv altbootcmd=run mender_altbootcmd; run bootcmd apply_overlays=for overlay_file in ${fdt_overlays}; do echo Applying Overlay: ${overlay_file} && load ${mender_uboot_root} ${loadaddr} ${overlays_prefix}${overlay_file} && fdt apply ${loadaddr}; e…

any help would be appreciated. we are this close to integrating it with the system now !! maybe something in our uboot environment that we are missing out !!

Well it uses distro_bootcmd which is expected. Since you are using boot2qt I’m assuming you didn’t use the same steps as documented here to get your sources right? Can you share the details of how you got the full set of sources? Drew

repo init -u git://code.qt.io/yocto/boot2qt-manifest -m v6.4.3.xml repo sync Thats how we got the boot2qt sources. after that we downloaded mender using git clone to kirkstone branch. git clone GitHub - mendersoftware/meta-mender-community: Community supported Yocto Project layers (Board int…

I’ve never tried to get it working using the Boot2QT repo manifests. I’ve only ever used the Toradex manifests. I suspect something is not getting applied properly related to the Distro Boot stuff. Specifically I would suggest investigating this patch . I’ll try to build with TORADEX_BSP_VERSION=6…

yes , i remember i applied this patch as it was failing in patching. I manually created this patch and applied. so seems like i applied. +env set bootcmd_run 'run m4boot; run bootcmd_dtb && run bootcmd_overlays && run bootcmd_args && run bootcmd_kernel && run bootcmd_unzip && run bootcmd_boot; ec…

Thanks drewmoseley , things are working fine now !! you are a saviour :slight_smile: we may mark this thread as solved. i can list down few steps for boot2qt on imxapalis8 if you are okay with that.

Thanks All! It is working with b2qt now.
