```
Remove the SD Card from your build host and insert it into the target. Configure your board to boot from SD Card by setting the _Boot Select_ switches to position “00”. Now turn on power to the board and it will boot from the SDCard. Login as user _root_ with no password and execute the following commands to provision the binaries:
```shell
flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 0
kobs-ng init -x /SPL --search_exponent=1 -v
flash_erase /dev/mtd1 0 0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd1 /u-boot.img-nand
flash_erase /dev/mtd4 0 0
nandwrite -k /dev/mtd4 /core-image-base-imx6ul-var-dart.ubimg
halt
```
Remove the SDCard, configure your board to boot from NAND by setting the _Boot Select_ switch to position “10” and power cycle your board.
On the other hand, if you already have Mender running on your device and want to deploy a rootfs update using this build, you should use the [Mender Artifact](https://docs.mender.io/overview/artifact) files, which have `.mender` suffix. You can either deploy this Artifact in managed mode with the Mender server (upload it under Releases in the server UI) or by using the Mender client [standalone mode](https://docs.mender.io/artifact-creation/standalone-deployment).

Why is my target not connecting to the server configured in local.conf ?
MENDER\_SERVER\_URL = “[https://hosted.mender.io](https://hosted.mender.io)”
MENDER\_TENANT\_TOKEN =“… my token here …”

We need more information to help. From a shell prompt on your board what does `journalctl -u mender-client` show?

The time should synchronize automatically if there is an active network connection. It may take some time but unless you have changed the systemd recipe config I am fairly certain it is enabled by default.
The other errors do appear to be some kind of networking issue. You are using 10.1.1.2 as your DNS server and it seems to not be responding. That would also explain why time is not synchronizing.

@drewmoseley , I tried to use export MEDIA=“emmc”
I created the image still using this command:
sudo dd if=tmp/deploy/images/hero-secc/hero-secc-firmware-release-hero-secc.sdimg of=/dev/sdb conv=fdatasync bs=8M
then boot via sdcard which was successful but when I try to write the image to emmc via this command:
sudo dd if=hero-secc-firmware-release-hero-secc.sdimg of=/dev/mmcblk1 status=progress conv=fdatasync
I got this error:
root@hero-secc:~# sudo dd if=hero-secc-firmware-release-hero-secc.sdimg of=/dev/mmcblk1 status=progress conv=fdatasync
dd: failed to open ‘hero-secc-firmware-release-hero-secc.sdimg’: No such file or directory
why it can’t see the \*.sdimg ?
this is the local.conf appended from ```
meta-mender-variscite/templates/local-emmc.conf.append
```auto

The emmc-based sdimg file is not automatically part of the sdcard image. You’ll need to use a USB key or separate sdcard to transfer that file from your build system.

I was able to perform dd command but when the target boots, I got this errror:

I noticed that my mmcblk1 has no mounting for /data?
But there is a data folder in the rootfs.
Why is mmcblk1p3 which is the /data has no fstype?
This is the command I used
sudo dd if=hero-secc-firmware-release-hero-secc.sdimg of=/dev/mmcblk1 status=progress conv=fdatasync
The image partition looks ok too:

Do you really need 3G partitions? That seems like a lot. Does the board have 8G?

Thanks @drewmoseley , the /data not mounting because of the memory size. But I still have error on the mender-configure.
[FAILED] Failed to start Mender-configure device configuration.
See ‘systemctl status mender-configure-…ply-device-config.service’ for details.
Invalid unit name “mender-configure-…ply-device-config.service” was escaped as
“mender-configure-\xe2\x80\xa6ply-device-config.service” (maybe you should use
systemd-escape?)
Unit mender-configure-\xe2\x80\xa6ply-device-config.service could not be found.
I fixed this with setting but not sure if mender-configure-apply-device-config.service will still run.
#SYSTEMD\_SERVICE\_${PN} = “mender-configure-apply-device-config.service”
SYSTEMD\_SERVICE\_ESCAPED\_${PN} = “mender-configure-apply-device-config.service”
Please advise. Thank you!

I’m not terribly familiar with the mender-configure stuff. Perhaps @TheMeaningfulEnginee or @lramirez can help.

I have used these board integration instruction broadly successfully however i have encountered a subtle problem. The module has a default mac address programmed into an OTP fuse and this appears to load ok into the kernelargs variable in uboot. The problem is that when the board has finished booting through the grub integration the mac address is not set . This ends with systemd-networkd choosing a mac address but this is different and can change when a full file system update is done. Is there a way to key this argument passed to the kernel to set the mac address ?

2023 update :
the pseudo-native layer is making issues when trying to compile the image.
you have to first execute `bitbake pseudo-native` to force the usage of https instead of git and correctly fetch the layer.
After this `bitbake your_image_name` is possible to be run. hope this helps people not being able to compile following exactly all the steps.
The u-boot patch is also miss-aligned with latest zeus u-boot, you can update the of the 0001-Switch-to-CONFIG\_DISTRO\_DEFAULTS-for-bootcmd.patch
