Hi @drewmoseley,
I have a question: Board integration guide (https://docs.mender.io/operating-system-updates-yocto-project/board-integration/bootloader-support/u-boot/manual-u-boot-integration) says we need to set
MENDER_UBOOT_AUTO_CONFIGURE = “0”, but I can see that in your board integration in this post, you have set it to 1 (in sources/meta-mender-community/meta-mender-variscite/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-variscite.bbappend)
Would you please help me to know when we can set it to “0” and when to “1” ?
It’s really a question of whether the UBoot automatic configuration logic works for your board or not. Details at the following links:
Basically, if automatic config works for your platform then go for it.
Perhaps @TheYoctoJester and/or @kacf have more guidance to offer.

Hi @drewmoseley et al, I’m looking for prior work that I can build on integrating mender layer on a vanilla yocto distro on the “plus” version of this SoM: var-som-mx8mp. All the work I’ve found so far is for the mini, and I can use that as a starting point if noone here has a better suggestion, but I’d like to know where the best place to contribute my work. Seems like the meta-mender-community repo is the place, but there’s no issues or discussions there. Should I just start working on a fork and file a PR?
Hi @timblaktu
Yes a PR against meta-mender-community is the best place. @TheYoctoJester will be the best one to help.

Hi @timblaktu,
Indeed, I’d love to help you getting this upstream! Unfortunately I will not be available in the next two and a half weeks for personal reasons, so a couple of pointers here:
- there is preliminary support in
scarthgap for the var-som-imx93. Preliminary as in, the required base layers don’t support the release yet, but you can definitely get the inspiration
- @lluiscampos might eventually be able to comment on a pull request
- imx8 is usually quite straightforward, and the last activities in that area were by @leon-anavi for the Olimex board.
Hope this helps you getting started!
Greets,
Josef
