Hi,

I try to configure mender client on a iMX6ULL platform with Debian OS installed. I tried to install the Debian package using apt method described on documentation page as well as to generate a full system image using mender-convert. In both cases I am able to connect to mender demo server and add my device but each deployment attempt fails. Deployment using on-device mender-update tool has the same effect. The error log is following:

"No such file or directory: Coulb not open path to sync: 8�&�/mender/modules/v3/payloads/0000/tree/tmp”

So it looks that there is some error during path building as at the beginning of the faulty path are a few random junk-bytes.

I managed to compile the client from sources and it seems functional, however I wonder whether my configuration has some faults or the ARM32 Debian package is broken.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is Debian 12 bookworm and mender client 5.0.1 version.

Thank you,

Krzysztof

Hi @krzysiekch,

Thanks for reaching out! We are currently undergoing some re-arrangements of the Debian repositories as we had a historical discrepancy between `arm 32bit` as `armv6" for the Raspberry Pi-style 32bit distributions versus `armv7` as the canonical 32bit platform.

The current state should be pointing to the correct repository ([Downloads | Mender documentation](https://docs.mender.io/downloads#device-components)), can you please try that route to install the client?

Greetz,  
Josef
