I'm trying to build a linux image for the beaglebone black using Yocto 2.4 (rocko) and running in to some trouble. It seems a new feature called mender has been added that handles updates. I don't want or need this feature, and it is causing me to be unable to build.
Upon trying to build core-image-minimal, I get the following error:
Loading cache: 100% |###############################################################################################################################################################################| Time: 0:00:00

I believe I am able to compile with essentially these settings in the previous version (pyro 2.3). It seems this mender thing is the cause of the trouble.
How can I disable it so it doesn't try and use it?
The correct way is to mask (hide) recipes-mender directory in meta-bbb. It is described in local.conf.sample [1] - see the BBMASK variable. If you are curious, there is also local.conf.mender-sample configuration example with mender enabled.
So just copy these lines to your local.conf:
# mask for non-mender builds
BBMASK = "meta-bbb/recipes-mender"
