Mender is an open source over-the-air (OTA) software updater
for embedded Linux devices. Mender comprises a client
running at the embedded device, as well as a server that
manages deployments across many devices.
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.
