Mender integration for STM32MP135F

Hi,
I am trying to integrate mender for STM32MP135F board.Yocto used is mickeldore with kernel version 6.1.28.
I downloaded the mender layer from below link as this seems to be compatible with mickelore version.
git clone -b master-next GitHub - mendersoftware/meta-mender: Yocto Project meta layer for the Mender client
During build I am observing multiple errors.While going through mender community I observed that in few of discussion there is mention of stm32mp1 specific mender layers for thud and kirkstone versions of yocto.I wanted know if there is any specific mender layer for stm32mp1 compatible for mickledore version.

Hi @Anushree,

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, there is no official support for the mickledore release. There might be intermediate states on a master-next branch which allow for partial building, but this is subject to change and breakage. meta-mender and meta-mender-community only support the two latest Yocto LTS releases, which are kirkstone and scarthgap at the time of this writing.

Hello, I am also working on STM32MP135F-DK.

I am looking for a scarthgap integration but I don’t find the layer meta-mender-st-stm32mp in the scarthgap branch but only on the kirkstone branch.

I don’t know if for this layer the kirkstone branch is compatible with the scarthgap branch.
I also wondering if the integration for STM32MP135F is supported on kirkstone as, in the board support index, the board STM32MP157C-DK seems to be not supported. (error on builds).

Hi @upbeat-demise,

Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately there is no public support for the STM32MP family in meta-mender-community on the scarthgap release yet, and the existing kirkstone integration is definitely not compatible. Plus, it has its own issues, sadly.

So the most sensible way forward is to take the existing layer on kirkstone, fix ist and then forward port. I’ll help as much as I can with that if you can provide errors or details on where things go wrong, but as I don’t have the hardware testing would be on your side. Once its build is stabilized, I can add it to automated build testing, on either or both releases.

Ok thank you for your fast reply!
I will thinking about fixing it/report build error if I decide to use Mender for software linux updates.
