| 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. |
