Hi,
I have encountered problem with mender bootstrap artifact after porting mender to Yocto Langdale from master-next branch on my custom Zynq board. I found similar topics on this forum but none was helpful in this case.
I successfully created image and have running mender services, but in the webapp panel, after accepting my board the initial Yocto image has always artifact_name unknown. I am able to update the whole rootfs partition with a new image or single file and then the version is displayed correctly.
Moreover I noticed that the bootstrap.mender file is present in /data/mender and is consumed the first time I boot my board. But after that the board has still unknown version. I checked the device type during bootstrap generation and it looks good.
Do you have any idea how may I debug this issue deeper, to check why my initial artifact name is not set correctly? My mender version is 3.5.1.
Best regards,
Krzysztof
Hi @krzysztofch,
Just as a starting point, does your langdale incarnation of meta-mender reflect the latest state of master respectively kirkstone, or is it something possibly outdated?
Plus, can you eventually share your local.conf respectively build specifics?

Hi @TheYoctoJester,
I use the latest master-next commit 5fb0af6b89eba96fb5bedaa2d26168233d050d67, however indeed it was committed 9 months ago. The master branch does not support the langdale release, or at least it is not listed in the layer.conf. Could you advise which branch should I use for Yocto langdale version?
This is my mender-related conf part in petalinuxbsp.conf which is included in local.conf file

Hi @krzysztofch,
Ah I see. Unfortunately there is no branch I can really recommend for langdale, as we do not officially support it - and it is end of life anyways. The Petalinux release cycle has always been problematic, and the only real advice I can give is to move towards meta-xilinx for a full production quality setup. Those should be available for scarthgap soon, and we also already have preliminary support which should be finalised soon.
Greets,
Josef
