I think the issue is your syntax in declaring the MENDER\_ROOT\_FS\_PART\_\* variables. You are using parentheses instead of brackets:
ie You have
```
MENDER_ROOTFS_PART_A = "$(MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE)2"
MENDER_ROOTFS_PART_B = "$(MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE)3"
```
and you should have
```
MENDER_ROOTFS_PART_A = "${MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE}2"
MENDER_ROOTFS_PART_B = "${MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE}3"
```

Wow, I completely missed that, thanks a lot 🙂
I had to make a patch file for things like the CONFIG\_ENV\_OFFSET setting in u-boot but I could copy that almost completely from the existing verdin patch. The build nor succeeds 😃
I can’t test it this week but I will validate it all works as expected next week. Thanks again

Excellent. Glad to hear we got you unstuck for now. I look forward to hearing if it is all working for you now.

I had to add a few more things to my patches (adding CONFIG\_BOOTCOUNT\_ENV, CONFIG\_ENV\_IS\_IN\_MMC and such in apalis include file) but I managed to get my apalis board to boot and update now, thanks again 🙂

Hi [riktw](https://hub.mender.io/u/riktw) and [drewmoseley](https://hub.mender.io/u/drewmoseley),
I am really happy to know you successfully managed to integrate it. I am currently trying to do the same, but rather for Zeus Linux, which uses u-boot-toradex\_2018.03. I followed your steps and created a patch for _apalis-imx8\_defconfig_ and _apalis-imx8.h_ to include the missing boot environment variables . This is the content of the patch:
```auto

However, when compiling _u-boot-toradex_, I get the following error even though _CONFIG\_SYS\_REDUNDAND\_ENVIRONMENT_ was set in the patch:
```auto

Check also https://docs.mender.io/troubleshoot/yocto-project-build for Known Issues when upgrading.
```
I tried to also upgrade to _u-boot-toradex\_2019.07_, but it gives the exact same error. Have you come across this error or have you any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thank you for your support, its really appreciated 🙂

It looks like `meta-mender-core/recipes-bsp/u-boot/patches/0002-Generic-boot-code-for-Mender.patch` is checking for a C preprocessor define for CONFIG\_SYS\_REDUNDAND\_ENVIRONMENT rather than a defconfig setting. The [coral board integration](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community/blob/dunfell/meta-mender-coral/recipes-bsp/u-boot/patches/0001-imx8mq_phanbell-add-Mender-requirements.patch) shows how this is done. I’m not sure if that’s in addition to the defconfig setting or instead of it; you’ll need to experiment a bit.

Hi Drew,
Thanks for the hint, I will check it out.

Hi Drew
I implemented the changes to the patches, so now the uboot environment variables are patched as C preprocessor defines in _apalis-imx8.h_. Now I am able to compile and the board boots with Mender 🙂.
I have two issues though, the first one I am familiar with, but the 2nd issue I don’t know what it means or why its happening.
When I run _mender daemon, I_ get this error:
> ERRO[0000] Failed to read the current active partition: No match between boot and root partitions.: Failed mender\_saveenv\_canary check. There is an error in the U-Boot setup. Likely causes are: 1) Mismatch between the U-Boot boot loader environment location and the location specified in /etc/fw\_env.config. 2) ‘mender\_setup’ is not run by the U-Boot boot script: exit status 1
To fix this, I need to update _fw\_env.config_ with the correct _Device name_, _Device offset_, and _Env. size_ so that they match those U-Boot is using. How can I go about fixing this issue?
The 2nd issue is that after the board finishes booting, I get this message repeatedly:
> mmcblk1: response CRC error sending SET\_BLOCK\_COUNT command, card status 0xc00b00
Do you have any idea what can be the cause of this message? I think both issues are related somehow .
Thank you 🙂

The first issue indicates that the U-Boot environment is incorrect, likely as you surmise caused by invalid values in fw\_env.config. You’ll need to dig through the configured U-Boot sources to figure out what values are needed.
I have no idea what would cause the second error. Are you using the Toradex BSP or a custom checkout? What branch?

Hi Rik,
I am interested in running Mender on the Apalis IMX8/Ixora platform. I am curious to see how you got this to work for the Apalis IMX8X, as this may help my work. Is it possible to share your patches?
Best,
Paul
