RE: [yocto] #yocto bootchooser: Cannot get state 'state'

[Hans-Ulrich Schlieben <hu.schlieben@codewrights.de>]

Hi Ahmad,

i asked phytec about barebox2019 and was told that it supports imx6ul and not imx6q. I should continue to use barebox2017.
So I use Barebox2017, which works in zeus with bootchooser.

Thank you very much for your great help.

This means you have a state driver, but there was no device to bind to.

Ha! That's it. The file is in upstream barebox, so no idea why Phytec dropped it.
That's probably a question for Phytec support.
