Manual bootloader integration, patches missing

Board Integrations
1

Hi @mirzak ,

I have to do bigger changes on bootloader and I am in the same situation as you described. How do you apply mender patches when doing an “local” u-boot build outside of yocto?
My process would be

  1. clone u-boot
  2. apply patches mentioned in bootloader recipe
  3. build outside yocto

=> but then the mender integration is missing as far as I see.

Any suggestions?

@ruben the Mender integration lives in a ´u-bootrecipe.bbappendinmeta-mender/meta-mender-core. So if you skip the Yocto path completely and just pull the u-boot` upstream plus BSP patches, then you need to manually apply those.
