Buildroot currently has all of the needed packages to use Mender as the primary
update system. However, there isn't any documentation or examples now that
provide a starting point for users. This lack of documentation makes setting up
a Mender based update system difficult and time-consuming.
Provided in this patch series is a mender_x86_64_efi_defconfig of which sets up
an x86_64 EFI based build that is ready to flash to a USB pen drive or use in a
QEMU environment. The system partition schema comprises of two equally sized
root partitions and a data partition that mounts to /var/lib/mender as a
persistent data store partition.
There is a board/mender/readme.txt provided, which gives users documentation on
how to flash the built image or boot the image using QEMU as well.
The post-build and post-image-efi scripts also have four options:
-a --artifact-name:
- The name of the artifact, this is added to /etc/mender/artifact_info
-o --data-part-size:
- The data partition size.
-d --device-type
- The device-type used by mender to catagorize registered devices.

Upstream makes releases very irregularly; our current version is already
two years old and upstream HEAD contains a lot of fixes. Therefore:
- Bump to the current HEAD SHA1
- Remove patches applied to upstream

Support for libsafec can not be completely disabled - currently,
--disable-safec does not exactly allow for compiling libest on
systems without libsafec, but instead just uses bundled copy of
library from safe_c_stub/
To avoid that, do automatically select the full-featured safeclib
package and always use --with-system-libsafec

Version 2.3.4 of libtalloc needs to define PYTHONHASHSEED, as a check has been added
to the configure script, and build will fail if it is not defined.
This is originately a workaround by samba developpers meant to avoid rebuilding talloc
with each call to make. Defining PYTHONHASHSEED would not be required in the context
of builroot, if not for the check in the configure script.
