Hi @jjsteele,

Presuming that you want to stick with a Debianoid, the process is roughly:

- create a `mender-convert` configuration, probably based off the RPi one.
- prepare a patched version of their `u-boot`. You can use the RPi one at [GitHub - mendersoftware/uboot-mender at mender-rpi-2024.04](https://github.com/mendersoftware/uboot-mender/tree/mender-rpi-2024.04) as reference
- create the `u-boot` binary, environment tools and corresponding configuration files, and provide them to the `mender-convert` config, usually through the assets directory.

Hope this helps,  
Josef
