Hi,
I am on a raspberry pi 5 (8GB) with bookworm OS.
It has a M.2 Hat+ attached to it, with a 128GB SSD.
The raspberry pi 5 is connected via pins to a mainboard,
for power and communication.
I generated a mender-aware image, but it shows a U-Boot sign at the top right corner.
Is there an existing configuration file I can use to make this work?
Hi @adhn,
Thanks for reaching out! Do you by any chance have access to the debug UART and can obtain eventual boot messages there?
Greetz,
Josef
Hi @TheYoctoJester ,

Howdy!
Thanks, that’s definitely helpful. Reaching u-boot is a good sign, so it’s essentially just the u-boot environment and/or boot script to be adjusted. I don’t have a RPi with NVMe drive around, so I can’t go tinkering about it unfortunately. 
Greetz,
Josef
could you help in some other way or provide some more details/hints on what exactly needs to be adjusted and how?
I am evaluating for my company, whether mender can be used in this setting (RPi5 with OS 12 and NVMe) and try to test it in general, since an OTA solution will become crucial for us.
Thank you!
Hi @adhn,
unfortunately I do not have a RPi5 with NVMe, so I can’t try and tell. The obvious candidates are:
MENDER_UBOOT_STORAGE_DEVICE and friends. See Partition configuration | Mender documentation for more details. Maybe also some configuration on the EEPROM is required.
Alternatively we do offer professional services to help with such. If you’re interested, please get in touch with contact@mender.io.
Greetz,
Josef
Ok, I see. Thanks! @TheYoctoJester
