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. https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender comment "mender needs a toolchain w/ threads" depends on BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS depends on BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS
