I am building my custom board based on i.MX6UL NXP Chipset.  
I am trying to integrate with Mender Version 2.1, where I have followed instruction for the board integration as per link [https://docs.mender.io/2.1/devices](https://docs.mender.io/2.1/devices).

I am getting below error while building artifacts, I am not able to build .uefiimg  
.sdimg or .biosimg.

Errors are as mentioned.

Which version of Yocto are using and which branch of `meta-mender`?

This indicates that you are missing `go` support in your Yocto environment,

I am using git://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender for meta-mender and git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-4.1-krogoth -m imx-  
4.1.15-2.0.3.xml for Yacto build.

Keep in mind that you would need to use,

```auto
git clone https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender.git -b krogoth

```

You also need to go back and use the 1.0 version of our documentation,

```
https://docs.mender.io/1.0/artifacts/building-mender-yocto-image

```

Keep in mind that `krogoth` is a very old Yocto release which is not maintained and same with `meta-mender` when it comes to these older branches.

The error was resolved after changing the setup. But with new setup I am still not able to build my img.  
I am getting following errors.

```

```

This is related to INHERIT += “mender-full” in conf file. If I comment the same, I am able to build my binaries but it does not have anything for mender.

Yeah, this relates to an on-going PR actually,

[https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/pull/803/commits/5d676a7efd2f7bfc72ff5da2176609f2b0ee5ce4](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/pull/803/commits/5d676a7efd2f7bfc72ff5da2176609f2b0ee5ce4)

But the fix is to ensure that `mender` entry is removed from `IMAGE_FSTYPES` for `fsl-image-mfgtool-initramfs.bb`, which you can do with a `fsl-image-mfgtool-initramfs.bbappend`.

It seems that something is wrong with your BSP machine configuration. Somewhere it is specifying UBOOT\_MACHINE=“mx6\_iwg18m\_sm\_defconfig” or something similar and that defconfig doesn’t exist in the version of UBoot being used. Either the name of the defconfig needs to be updated or a different version/branch of UBoot should be used.

Any possibilities if we can disable the uboot as of now ? How we can do so ?

To what end? You won’t have a bootable image without building Uboot.
