meta-mender sumo-v2018.07

Released 07.12.2018

meta-mender (sumo-v2018.07)

  • Warn when mender.conf settings conflict with Bitbake variables.
  • Make sure that new-style "enp" network devices get DHCP address in demo.
  • Delete all components from pre-1.3 Mender releases. All pre-1.3 releases are EOL.
  • Rename IMAGE_BOOTLOADER variables to MENDER_IMAGE_BOOTLOADER.
  • Fix lockfile error due to using system lock directory.
  • Licence checksum updated in mender-artifact
  • mender: Allow for forcing a specific KERNEL_IMAGETYPE.
  • mender-uboot: Add MENDER_UBOOT_POST_SETUP_COMMANDS config point.
  • Fix occasional inode corruption issue when re-launching a previously launched and saved QEMU image.
  • QEMU: Limit client setup steps to run on first boot only.
  • mender-qemu: increase qemu memory size to 256MiB.
  • Let colibri-imx7 and vf boards be handled by automatic patching.
  • Fixed issue with build due to unknown image linux-firmware-raspbian-bcm43430
  • Fix mender not building if build and host architecture is the same.
  • meta-mender-orangepi: Fix up u-boot
  • Fix Linux kernel hanging when loaded via U-Boot/UEFI/GRUB on vexpress-qemu*. (MEN-1657)
  • Add mender-1.3.1 and mender-artifact-2.1.2 recipes.
  • Implement IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXCLUDE_PATH support. It works the following way: It contains a space separated list of directories, relative to the rootfs root (no beginning slash), and any directory specified will be omitted from the rootfs. If the directory ends in a slash, only the contents will be omitted, not the directory itself (useful for mount points). One can then set do_image_<imagetype>[respect_exclude_path] = "1" for certain image builders to prevent the exclusion and then add them back as separate partitions there.
  • Support for MENDER_DATA_PART_DIR has been removed. Use recipe files to add files directly to the /data directory instead.
  • mender: Create bmap files.
  • tests: Filter out the data partition as the latest build artifact.
  • example-state-scripts: Explicitly return 0 from scripts.
  • uboot_auto_patch: Simplify definition placement at the expense of beauty. The resulting patch is uglier because the definitions go into a cross platform section which is not appropriate for upstream submission. But it does fix the case where unwanted ifdefs were "hiding" the added definitions.
  • rpi_0_w: Setup Mender required defconfigs
  • Implement GRUB and x86-64 support. (MEN-1430, MEN-1432, MEN-1433, MEN-1434, MEN-1435, MEN-1436)
  • Implement qemux86-64 machine target. (MEN-1430, MEN-1432, MEN-1433, MEN-1434, MEN-1435, MEN-1436)
  • mender: Conditionally add /uboot mount only for SDCards.
  • Increased the demo mender-retry-polling interval (MEN-1006)
  • meta-mender-toradex-nxp: Adapt colibri-imx7-mender to U-Boot autopatching
  • Fix 'depends upon non-existent task' error in U-Boot recipes without auto patching.
  • Use timedatectl, if available, to determine with time is synchronized.
  • mender upgraded to 1.4.0.
  • mender-artifact upgraded to 2.2.0.
  • mender-qemu: More robust detection of MACHINE setting.
  • beaglebone: Rename to beaglebone-yocto.
  • Add mtdimg image type. The mtdimg type is an image type meant to be flashed to the entire Flash device, unlike the ubimg, which should only be flashed to the ubi area of the mtd device. Either one can be used depending on need. vexpress-nor image, used in QEMU, was also changed to take advantage of the new mtdimg image. (MEN-1597)
  • Add LAYERSERIES_COMPAT settings to all Mender layers.
  • Replace MENDER_PARTITION_ALIGNMENT_KB with MENDER_PARTITION_ALIGNMENT, which is in bytes.
  • Rename MENDER_STORAGE_RESERVED_RAW_SPACE to MENDER_RESERVED_SPACE_BOOTLOADER_DATA, to better reflect what it is used for.
  • Enable wifi in the raspberry-pi demo image by default. (MEN-1804)
  • mender: Only create vfat boot partition if size is non-zero
  • meta-mender-toradex-nxp: increase layer priority to 91
  • Fix creating ubifs image.
  • tests: Respect user set SSTATE_DIR and DL_DIR variables.
  • Make sure auto provided fw-utils use virtual/bootloader setting if present.
  • QEMU: Raise systemd service timeout so that it boots properly on slow hosts.
  • Fix fstab sometimes not containing boot partition entry.
  • Fix build error if IMAGE_FSTYPES contains the same entry more than once.
  • Implement x86 BIOS support together with GRUB. It can be enabled by inheriting the mender-full-bios class, or by enabling the mender-grub and mender-bios features using MENDER_FEATURES_ENABLE. (MEN-1845)
  • Client container init scripts are modified to accept MAC address for qemu through env var, RANDOM_MAC.
  • added layer dependency on mender layer
  • uboot_auto_configure: Fail immediately if a define cannot be added. Better than failing later at runtime, where the problem is much harder to debug.
  • Warn on unused MENDER_.* variables (MEN-1603)
  • uboot_auto_patch: Switch kernel address from kernel_addr_r to loadaddr.
  • Remove unused IMAGE_UENV_TXT_FILE variable.
  • Add U-Boot auto patching support for Flash based devices. The autopatcher will use UBI as storage medium for both the filesystems and the U-Boot environment. Mender requires a minimum of configuration: the MENDER_MTDIDS needs to be set for the board, and will normally go in the conf/machine/<MACHINE>.conf file for the board in question. See documentation for variables MENDER_MTDIDS, MENDER_IS_IN_MTDID and MENDER_MTDPARTS for more information. (MEN-1597)
  • Partition alignment (MENDER_PARTITION_ALIGNMENT) on Flash devices using UBI is now aligned to the UBI LEB size, which in general is not a multiple of KiB. (MEN-1597)
  • Add Mender 1.4.1 recipe.
  • Clear IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX for all image types.
  • Fix "No rule to make target 'envtools'" error in some U-Boot builds.
  • Pregenerate SSH keys for all QEMU images.
  • Since the "beaglebone" machine name has changed in upstream to "beaglebone-yocto", add "beaglebone" to the MENDER_DEVICE_TYPES_COMPATIBLE default, so that older devices can upgrade even if they have the old device type.
  • mender: Copy data partition images to the deploy dir.
  • mender: Append to fstab rather than replacing it.
  • Fix failed uboot.env install when mender-uboot feature is disabled.
  • tests: Also check ARTIFACTIMG_FSTYPE for compatible images.
  • uboot_auto_patch: Update to support U-Boot v2018.05.
  • uboot_auto_patch: Add support for new Kconfig based defines.
  • mender-uboot: Add MENDER_UBOOT_PRE_SETUP_COMMANDS config point.
  • Add Mender 1.5.0 Beta recipe.
  • Add mender-1.4.0b1 and mender-artifact-2.2.0b1 recipes.
  • Add 'dataimg' as an image type. It contains the data partition filesystem which is normally part of the complete partitioned image. To enable it, add dataimg to IMAGE_FSTYPES. (MEN-1879)
  • mender: Use only the basename to load DTBs.
  • Add Mender 1.5.0 recipe.
  • Document SDIMG_ROOTFS_TYPE settings for Raspberry Pi.
  • Change rootfs size calculation so it takes alignment into account. This should fix a few corner cases, where the filesystems may all fit in terms of bytes, but still would not actually fit because of partition alignment.
  • Added new state script to wait for time sync to complete.
  • Drop creation of authtentoken file, which is unneeded now.
  • Added basic support for orangepi boards
  • mender: Cleanup IMAGE_FSTYPES.
  • uboot_auto_configure: Handle tabs in defines correctly.
