Please describe your issue below:

I build a yocto image with the default bootloader (u-boot). But I don’t understand how to customize the bootloader to be able to boot from slot A or B.
Has anyone already do this ?

Please clarify what this means.

What distro, machine and meta-layers are in your build?

Hi,

The layers I use:

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/poky/meta \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/poky/meta-poky \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/meta-meson \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/meta-openembedded/meta-networking \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/meta-openembedded/meta-python \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/meta-benoit \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/meta-rust \
  ${TOPDIR}/../sources/meta-rauc \
  "

extra packages:

IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " \
    u-boot \
    syslog-ng \
    uhubctl \
    openssh \
    dbus \
    rauc \
    rpm \
    openssh \
    pkgconfig \
    dbus \
    libqmi \
    usb-modeswitch \
    networkmanager \
    modemmanager \
"

I will ceate a github project with everything. (there is also a specific layer for the configuration of rauc)
The issue is with u-boot. I don’t know it, and I don’t know how to configure it.
rauc is installed correctly.
rauc status show the 2 partitions.
rauc install install the bundle in the correct partition, and mark it as bootable.
But u-boot always boot the first partition. I should have wrote a boot.cmd.in like this one: meta-rauc-community/meta-rauc-raspberrypi/recipes-bsp/rpi-u-boot-scr/files/boot.cmd.in at kirkstone · rauc/meta-rauc-community · GitHub

But I don’t know how to integrate it with meta-meson ?

Thanks for your help!

If you go into the yocto docs they a section about configuring the kernel and u-boot. Or it was in the book, I don’t recall exactly. Either way, it seems like you will have to learn some u-boot too…
