Mender is an open source over-the-air (OTA) software updater

|
|
|
for embedded Linux devices. Mender comprises a client
|

|
|
|

Notes:
|
|
|
|
For systems using uboot as the bootloader:
|
|
|
|
- uboot must have the mender uboot patches applied.
|
|
|
|
- uboot-tools must be selected.
|
|
|
|
- fw_printenv must be functional on the device.
|
|
|
|
The Mender Uboot patches are at:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more information on Manual U-Boot integration, see:
|
|
|
|
https://docs.mender.io/2.6/system-updates-yocto-project/board-integration/bootloader-support/u-boot/manual-u-boot-integration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For systems using Grub2 as the bootloader:
|
|
|
|
- Mender depends on the mender-grubenv package.
|
|
|
|
- The mender-grubenv package provides a fw_printenv script,
|
|
|
|
which is not compatible with the uboot-tools fw_printenv
|
|
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mender project recommends using uboot to load Grub2 as a
|
|
|
|
secondary bootloader whenever possible. Using Grub2 as a
|
|
|
|
secondary bootloader prevents users from porting the patches
|
|
|
|
for uboot to each new device.
