# Board description The AM3517 SOM from LogicPD contains a [Texas Instruments AM3517 ARM Sitara processor](http://www.ti.com/product/AM3517) and can be used with a Zoom AM3517 EVM board for prototyping purposes. ![2018-10-10%2016_11_49-Logic%20PD%20-%20AM3517%20SOM-M2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mender/original/1X/7de9fa41a0d78ab226b0faa0a32bbc42f0f13dc4.jpeg) URL: [https://www.logicpd.com/som/am35x-som-m2/](https://www.logicpd.com/som/am35x-som-m2/) # Test results The Yocto Project releases in the table below have been tested by the Mender community. Please update it if you have tested this integration on other [Yocto Project releases](https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases?target=_blank): TODO: Update table below with Yocto Project versions tested & result. Sample data: | Yocto Project | Build | Runtime | | --- | --- | --- | | pyro (2.3) | :test_works: | :test_works: | **Build** Means that the Yocto Project build using this Mender integration completes without errors and outputs images. **Runtime** Means that Mender has been verified to work on the board. For U-Boot-based boards, the [integration checklist](https://docs.mender.io/devices/integrating-with-u-boot/integration-checklist?target=_blank) has been verified. # Getting started ## Prerequisites - A Yocto Project version supported by this integration (see table above) - board layers already cloned and added: [http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-ti](http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-ti) - resulting build completes without errors and the board boots ## Configuring the build I used the instructions at [https://docs.mender.io/1.2/devices/integrating-with-u-boot](https://docs.mender.io/1.2/devices/integrating-with-u-boot) and [https://docs.mender.io/1.2/devices/integrating-with-u-boot/manual-u-boot-integration/providing-custom-u-boot-fw-utils](https://docs.mender.io/1.2/devices/integrating-with-u-boot/manual-u-boot-integration/providing-custom-u-boot-fw-utils) to integrate with uboot. The only issues/questions I found were documented in [https://groups.google.com/a/lists.mender.io/d/msg/mender/7Gv0otJS6Ng/\_w-astU0AgAJ](https://groups.google.com/a/lists.mender.io/d/msg/mender/7Gv0otJS6Ng/_w-astU0AgAJ). Since this post was done before the integration checklist and I no longer have access to the platform these instructions may be out of date. Feel free to direct message me at @dwalkes with any questions. ### Building the image Build your image by running: ```bash bitbake core-image-base ``` Replace `core-image-base` with your desired image target. ### Using the build output After a successful build, the images and build artifacts are placed in the /tmp/deploy/images directory. The disk image (with `.uefiimg` suffix) is used to provision the device storage for devices without Mender running already. TI has a [FLASHTOOL](http://www.ti.com/tool/FLASHTOOL) for this purpose, which is limited to Windows 7 32 bit or earlier and is the only way to flash the part using the ROM bootloader. A project at [pyusb\_pcap\_replay](https://github.com/Trellis-Logic/pyusb_pcap_replay) can perform image flashing steps through Python on platforms other than Windows 7 32 bit and earlier, using a trace captured on a FLASHTOOL Windows 7 32 bit system. On the other hand, if you already have Mender running on your device and want to deploy a rootfs update using this build, you should use the [Mender Artifact](https://docs.mender.io/architecture/mender-artifacts?target=_blank) files, which have `.mender` suffix. You can either deploy this Artifact in managed mode with the Mender server (upload it under Releases in the server UI) or by using the Mender client only in [Standalone deployments](https://docs.mender.io/architecture/standalone-deployments?target=_blank). # References See original forum post at [https://groups.google.com/a/lists.mender.io/d/msg/mender/7Gv0otJS6Ng/\_w-astU0AgAJ](https://groups.google.com/a/lists.mender.io/d/msg/mender/7Gv0otJS6Ng/_w-astU0AgAJ) - The official [Mender documentation](https://docs.mender.io/) explains how Mender works. This is simply a board-specific complement to the official documentation. * * * _If this post was useful to you, please press like, or leave a thank you note to the contributor who put valuable time into this and made it available to you.

@dwalkes Maybe if you remember can you please describe more in detail how to provision (uefiimg) to board? I think it will be helpful. Thanks. ---

Thanks for the suggestion Marek, I’ve updated to reference the TI FLASHTOOL.
