Hi, I’m new to Yocto/Mender and I’m working with the imx8mnevk board. I’ve followed the guide (for Zeus), but attempting to get it to work with Kirkstone. I’ve added mender-setup-imx.bbclass, from the Zeus branch, and updated it to the newer syntax. It built without error, but didn’t have any image…

Hi @chance , Thanks for reaching out! For getting started with the more generic iMX8-stuff, I would suggest to have a good look at the contributed board integrations in [meta-mender-community[( meta-mender-community/meta-mender-nxp at kirkstone · mendersoftware/meta-mender-community · GitHub ). You mi…

Hi @chance [image] chance: I’ve followed the guide (for Zeus), Do you mean that you have followed this guide ? [image] NXP® i.MX 8MNano Evaluation Kit Yocto Project The official Mender documentation explains how Mender works. This is simply a board-specific complem…

Hi, Thanks for the replies! I was able to build and boot cleanly (using UUU and uefiimg) and the board is now showing up as a pending device. There was some issues with the variable names that were appended to local.conf, such as MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE_imx8mnevk needing to be just MENDER_STORAGE_DEV…

Hey @chance , Thats great, congratulations! Two minor things: MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE instead of MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE_imx8mnevk might work for you, but would break other boards. According to the new syntax, it should be MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE:imx8mnevk according to the new override syntax - assuming …

Ahh that make sense. I caught some of the old syntax when bringing over meta-mender-imx (from zeus branch), but I’m realizing I need to read up on the new syntax more. Perhaps that is related to some of the other issues I was seeing when attempting to add in the other Mender features. I’ll check/upd…

[image] chance: but I’m realizing I need to read up on the new syntax more. If It helps @chance , you can use the following script to add new override syntax to existing bitbake metadata. [0] - convert-overrides.py « contrib « scripts - poky - Poky Build Tool and Metadata

Hi @chance , thanks, the local.conf looks pretty nice already. So did you actually need to bring over meta-mender-imx? What parts of it are really in use? Plus, which layers? If there is no secret sauce involved, or you are able to build for one time without, can you maybe also dump the layer “manif…

Hi @TheYoctoJester , Here are the steps I followed: Followed the existing guide but using Kirkstone. Copied meta-mender-imx (Zeus branch) into mender-imx/sourcesmeta-mender-community (Kirkstone) and fixed remove/append/prepend syntax. Copied mender-setup-imx.bbclass (Zeus branch) into mende…

Hi @chance , that layer stack really looks strange, and quite bloated. Have you tried starting with something just like meta meta-poky meta-oe meta-python meta-freescale meta-freescale-3rdparty meta-freescale-distro meta-mender-core meta-mender-demo and see where you end up? …
