mender-convert 4.3.0

Released 12.18.2024

Changelogs

mender-convert (4.3.0)

New changes in mender-convert since 4.2.3:

Bug Fixes
  • allow installation of deb packages with spaces (MEN-7264)
  • correctly check that RASPBERRYPI_OS_REQUIRED_ID is set
Features
  • Add the possibility to install arbitrary debian packages located in MENDER_INSTALL_INPUT_PACKAGES_PATH to the converted image. (MEN-7264)
  • support assets directory for local data
  • mender-convert Docker build is now architecture aware and it will install the native dependencies for the target architecture. This change makes the tool compatible with Apple arm machines. The Docker images will be published for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 platforms.
  • Added ext3 filesystem support
  • make boot partition mount point configurable

  • extend Raspberry Pi support to bookworm

    The Debian release 12 "bookworm" introduced the /boot/firmware mount point for the boot partition, which is a breaking change.

    The upgrade therefore involves these adjustments:

    • use the "check_image_os" function to check the Linux distribution release requirement on the supplied image
    • set MENDER_BOOT_PART_MOUNTPOINT to /boot/firmware
    • remove the /uboot directory creation and related modifications of scripts shipped with the supplied image.
    • copy the device tree overlays from the boot partition to /boot so they can be accessed from u-boot

    To facilitate maintenance, some functionality has been factored out into the raspberrypi_common_config file.

    Currently checks for the required Linux distribution family and version, e.g. "debian" and "12" (reflects "bookworm") are included. This is common for both the already existing 32bit and upcoming 64bit configs, so it prepares the version bump and aarch64 extension.

    On Debian 11 "bullseye" (or derivatives) and earlier, the boot partition is mounted to /uboot in the u-boot integration path. As several scripts rely on the files located on the patition, we need to adjust those.

  • add support for Raspberry Pi OS 64bit

    Add support for Raspberry Pi OS 64bit, based on Debian 12 "bookworm", including configuration for Raspberry Pi 4 The logic is very close to the 32bit version, with the exceptions:

    • the kernel image filename is always kernel8.img, which in the supplied image is in fact a gzipped vmlinux file
    • the checks are on 64bit binaries, and the enforcement o 32bit execution is removed.
    • No support for non-Debian images.

    Add the initial base 64b configuration and extend with an explicit instatiations of RPi4 "bullseye" and "bookworm" (MEN-3663)

  • raspberrypi_common: support local assets
  • support Raspberry Pi 5, bookworm 64bit
  • Upgrade Raspberry Pi 3 pre-built image to Debian 12 64bits (MEN-7759)
  • Support for sparse images to save storage space. It is disabled by default and can be enabled with MENDER_SPARSE_IMAGE configuration flag
Other

  • Remove Beaglebone from supported boards.

    Beaglebone has not worked for quite some time with the latest images, due to problems with booting using UEFI and GRUB. The last version to support it, Debian Buster, has now gone out of support, so therefore we remove support in mender-convert as well.

  • update README for Raspberry Pi OS support
  • Raspberry Pi configs have changed names. Please see the README.md files for the new names.

mender-convert 4.2.3

Released 12.02.2024

Changelogs

mender-convert (4.2.3)

New changes in mender-convert since 4.2.2:

Bug Fixes
  • docker-mender-convert wrapper updated to support multiple branches pointing to the same reference and detached HEAD
  • Modify the list of available APT distros from where to get Mender software by adding debian/bookworm and ubuntu/noble and removing ubuntu/focal.
Other
  • Fallback to Debian Bullseye packages when target distribution is not supported, printing a user facing warning when doing so.

mender-convert 4.2.2

Released 06.12.2024

Changelogs

mender-convert (4.2.2)

New changes in mender-convert since 4.2.1:

Bug Fixes
  • Make sure that /data mountpoint exists when using a R/O rootfs. (MEN-7219)
  • Fix installation of Mender client v4 when the user specifies the exact version to use with MENDER_CLIENT_VERSION=a.b.c. Using auto (default) or latest does not trigger this bug. (MEN-7325)

mender-convert 4.2.1

Released 05.16.2024

Changelogs

mender-convert (4.2.1)

New changes in mender-convert since 4.2.0:

Bug Fixes
  • Fix occasional failure when handling service files. (MEN-7143)
  • Fix boot problems on RaspiOS images. (MEN-7143)
  • Make sure rootfs-image updates also updates the kernel.
  • Fix boot failure on Ubuntu image for Raspberry Pi.
  • Missing DTB inclusion in armbian-based images
  • Remove incorrect warning about 64bit ext4 flag. (MEN-6027)

mender-convert 4.2.0

Released 03.21.2024

Changelogs

mender-convert (4.2.0)

New changes in mender-convert since 4.1.1:

Bug Fixes
  • Remove unneeded mender_grub_storage_device assignment which could boot from the wrong device if a USB stick was inserted.
Features
  • From Mender client v4 onwards, the client is distributed in two separate packages: mender-auth and mender-update. Now mender-convert installs these two when installing the client. (MEN-6282)
  • Install mender-flash when installing the Mender client (MEN-6282)
  • Switch to install packages using Debian package manager. This means that the files are no longer simply extracted into place, which has been a big source of conflict with the package manager when doing later upgrades. It also means that a default mender.conf file will be provided if mender-setup is installed, since it installs it by default. (MEN-6935)
  • Install mender-setup and mender-snapshot by default when Mender client 4.0 or later is selected. Previously they were built-in, but are now optional and can be turned off with: 
    MENDER_SETUP_INSTALL=n
MENDER_SNAPSHOT_INSTALL=n

    to save space. (MEN-6935)

  • add support for MENDER_CLIENT_VERSION="auto", which installs the Mender Client 3.x series for Debian bullseye and buster and for Ubuntu jammy and focal, the Mender Client 4.x series for all the other distributions (MEN-6976)
Other
  • The mender-client-data-dir.service has been renamed to mender-data-dir.service. This is used as a dependency for the mender update client, and most users should not notice the change.
  • Update the rpi bullseye image to the 2023-05-03 release.

mender-convert (4.0.2)

New changes in mender-convert since 4.0.1:

Bug Fixes

  • Remove trailing forward slash in overlay path.

    This prevented the overlay from being applied, due to duplicate slashes in the rsync command (mender-convert-modify line 280). The end result was that the /etc/mender/mender.conf file was missing from the final image. Removing the extra forward slash solved the problem.

  • Fix convert error when using MENDER_GRUB_D_INTEGRATION and MENDER_ENABLE_PARTUUID together. (MEN-6645)
Other
  • Drop support for Debian 9 (stretch).

mender-convert (4.0.0)

New changes in mender-convert since 3.0.1:

Bug Fixes
  • The prebuilt Mender Grub integration now comes with the XFS module installed by default. (ME-6)
  • Support Mender integration in raspberrypi-sys-mods/firstboot script included in recent Raspberry Pi OS images by modifying the hard-coded mount point for the boot partition from /boot to /uboot. (MEN-5944)
  • Support Mender integration in userconf-pi/userconf-service script included in recent Raspberry Pi OS images by modifying the hard-coded mount point for the boot partition from /boot to /uboot. (MEN-5954)
  • Support Mender integration in raspberrypi-net-mods/wpa_copy script included in recent Raspberry Pi OS images by modifying the hard-coded mount point for the boot partition from /boot to /uboot. (MEN-5955)
  • Supplying configs/mender_convert_demo_config as a --config parameter to mender-convert will add/override polling interval parameters on top of a mender.conf file found in the overlays. (MEN-5109)
  • User must now supply the overlay generated by a bootstrap script to mender-convert with the --overlay option in order for the scripts to take effect. Additionally, the bootstrap scripts may now be called from any directory. (MEN-5109)
  • Fix grub.d integration when host and target 32/64 bit architectures don't match. Namely: pass the correct --target parameter to grub-install command instead of relaying on host architecture. (MEN-5979)
  • grub-mender-grubenv: Add lock file to prevent data races when accessing boot environment concurrently.
  • grub-mender-grubenv: Fail execution if both environments are corrupt.
  • grub-mender-grubenv: Recompute checksum after restoring environment (new versions of grub-editenv add extra data).
  • Project can now be used as a git submodule again Ticket: # (MEN-6305)
  • Added support for installing mender client for ubuntu jammy conversions Ticket: # (MEN-6306)
  • support added for mender-client deb package data archive compressed with zstd (MEN-6307)
Features
  • A bootstrap Artifact is now installed in /data/mender/bootstrap.mender, on every conversion, adding the ability to have the Mender client bootstrap the database without running an update first, thus enabling delta-updates to be installed without first running a full rootfs update. Please note that this will require a minimum of the Mender client at version 3.4.x. However, the generated Artifact is still usable in any case. (MEN-5594)
  • use a Docker volume as work area (MEN-5943)

mender-convert (3.0.0)

New changes in mender-convert since 2.6.2:

  • Modify ln calls for data store links to support successive runs (MEN-5078)
  • Fix "unbound variable" error when using raspberrypi4_ubuntu_config.
  • Download and install Debian packages taking into account the target OS. Now downloads.mender.io serves four distributions: the two latests releases for Debian and Ubuntu. Probe /etc/os-release to figure out the correct package to install, and fallback to Debian Buster packages which was the previous default. (MEN-5410)
  • Fix installation of user specified versions for mender-configure add-on
  • Debian 11 tests support. (MEN-5257)
  • The fstab file from the image being converted is now preserved across convertions, with the Mender specific additions merged with the existing fstab file, as opposed to replacing it completely. Which was the previous approach.
  • fix compatibility of docker-mender-convert with macOS/*BSD
  • Keep the UUID of the original first partition on the boot partition of the converted image when the partition table is GPT. (MEN-5221)
  • clarify supported development platforms
  • clarify Raspbian compatibility
  • README: add compatibility tables for configurations
  • The mender-convert docker image does now contain the mender-convert application and does no longer need companion checkouts.
  • All input files passed to docker-mender-convert must be located within the input directory as opposed to anywhere in the mender-convert checkout directory
  • If grub*.efi preexists on the EFI partition, keep it instead of installing our own. In all other cases, we fall back to the old functionality of installing mender-grub and nuking the existing bootloader.

  • Integrate with grub.d framework.

    This means that grub-install and update-grub no longer risk bricking the device, but will produce boot scripts with Mender support integrated. It also means that the standard GRUB menu will be available.

    It is supported on x86_64 platforms where grub.d is available, and can be turned on and off with MENDER_GRUB_D_INTEGRATION. The default is to use it if available.

    Devices that did not previously use grub.d integration won't be upgraded correctly with it turned on, so it is advised to set MENDER_GRUB_D_INTEGRATION=n if you are upgrading existing devices. (MEN-5219)

mender-convert (2.6.0)

New changes in mender-convert since 2.5.0:

  • configs/images/raspberrypi_raspbian_config: Allow APT Suite change (MEN-5057)
  • Fix broken download of packages when *_VERSION are set to master.
  • grub-mender-grubenv: User space tools, "fw_printenv" and "fw_setenv" have been renamed to "grub-mender-grubenv-print" and "grub-mender-grubenv-set", respectively. This has been done in order to avoid conflict with U-Boot's user space tools, which have the same names.
  • RPi pre-converted images: remove Mender client version from Artifact name.
  • Create symlink from /var/lib/mender-monitor to /data/mender-configure (MEN-5086)

mender-convert (2.5.0)

New changes in mender-convert since 2.4.0:

  • Switch to stable version of mender-configure.
  • Always create symlinks from /var/lib/mender-configure to /data/mender-configure. They always need to installed in a rootfs-image prepared image, even if the software isn't, because if the package is installed later, the links must be present or it will act as if it is a non-rootfs image, and store the settings on the rootfs partition, when they should be stored on the data partition.
  • Raspberry Pi: create symbolic links from /boot to /uboot for all existing files in boot partition. Some Raspberry Pi apps, like Pi Camera, expect firmware files at /boot. (MEN-4658)
  • Added an option MENDER_CLIENT_INSTALL=y/n, in order to configure the installation of the Mender client into the converted image. Defaults to yes. (MEN-4256)
  • Add a demo configuration in configs/mender_convert_demo_config which when added at run time creates a Mender demo setup in the converted image. This includes short polling intervals, and all add-on's installed by default. (MEN-4462)

Changelogs

mender-convert (1.2.0)

New changes in mender-convert since 1.2.0b1:

  • Update mender-convert to use Mender final release v2.1.0

New changes in mender-convert since 1.1.1:

  • Expand existing environment '$PATH' variable instead of replacing it
  • Use same environment '$PATH' variable when using sudo
  • Fail the docker build when mandatory build-arg 'mender_client_version' is not set.
  • Update Dockerfile to use latest stable mender-artifact, v2.4.0
  • Use mender-artfact v3. Requires rebuild of device-image-shell container.
  • Use LZMA for smaller Artifact size (but slower generation).
  • Update mender-convert to use final Mender v2.0 release
