Orange-pi-zero

Hello to everyone.
I’m trying to use meta-mender-core on the orange-pi-zero.

[user@localhost build]$ bitbake-layers show-layers

meta-mender-demo      /yoctoproject/warriorVersion/meta-mender/meta-mender-demo  10

in my conf/local.conf, as suggested in the documentation i added:
MENDER_FEATURES_ENABLE_append = " mender-uboot mender-image-sd"
MENDER_FEATURES_DISABLE_append = " mender-grub mender-image-uefi"

When i bitbake the image i get this error:

ERROR: grub-efi-native-2.02-r0 do_compile: oe_runmake failed
ERROR: grub-efi-native-2.02-r0 do_compile: Function failed: do_compile

ERROR: Task (virtual:native:/yoctoproject/warriorVersion/poky/meta/recipes-bsp/grub/grub-efi_2.02.bb:do_compile) failed with exit code '1'

So, even if i configura that i don’t want to use grub, meta-mender use that.

Someone can help me?

Can you pls try to run bitbake -e | grep ^MENDER_FEATURES to see the list of features?

[user@localhost build]$ MACHINE=orange-pi-zero bitbake -e core-image-minimal | grep “^MENDER_FEATURES”
MENDER_FEATURES_DISABLE=" mender-grub mender-image-uefi"
MENDER_FEATURES_ENABLE=" mender-uboot mender-image-sd mender-grub mender-image mender-image-uefi mender-install mender-systemd mender-growfs-data "

MENDER_FEATURES_ENABLE and DISABLE actually end up in DISTRO_FEATURES, so you will need to search for that instead of MENDER_FEATURES.

[user@localhost build]$ MACHINE=orange-pi-zero bitbake -e core-image-minimal | grep “^DISTRO_FEATURES”
DISTRO_FEATURES=“acl alsa argp bluetooth ext2 ipv4 ipv6 irda largefile pcmcia usbgadget usbhost wifi xattr nfs zeroconf pci 3g nfc x11 ${DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC} largefile opengl ptest multiarch wayland vulkan systemd pulseaudio bluez5 gobject-introspection-data ldconfig mender-uboot mender-image-sd mender-image mender-install mender-systemd mender-growfs-data”

DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED=" sysvinit mender-grub mender-image-uefi sysvinit"
DISTRO_FEATURES_DEFAULT=“acl alsa argp bluetooth ext2 ipv4 ipv6 irda largefile pcmcia usbgadget usbhost wifi xattr nfs zeroconf pci 3g nfc x11”
DISTRO_FEATURES_FILTER_NATIVE=“api-documentation”
DISTRO_FEATURES_FILTER_NATIVESDK=“api-documentation”
DISTRO_FEATURES_NATIVE=“x11 ipv6 xattr”
DISTRO_FEATURES_NATIVESDK=“x11”

I deleted the tmp folder and re-run bitbake.
Now bitbake finish without errors.
I will wait till i’m sure everything works fine before i close this thread.
For now, thank you very much to @kacf and even more thank you to @MarekBelisko for this : https://www.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2018-January/039576.html

I have to correct my previously message… bitbake doesn’t finish without errors.
I would like to have mender working on the orange-pi-zero with yocto warrior but it seams to be impossible for me.

I get this error:

I tried to use meta-mender-community/meta-mender-sunxi; i manage to compile without errors but the image doesn’t start (i think because the u-boot is written in a wrong position but i’m not sure about this):

I don’t know how to go on with trying or studying…

So first attempt was using meta-sunxi and second meta-mender-community? I added support for this board and was working fine. Let me refresh it with warrior. I’ll get back to you. Thanks.

Oh, it would be really cool.

Thank you very much.
