Dear all, I tried to use the latest versions of balenaEngine on a plain Yocto Warrior Image built for MACHINE = “raspberrypi0-wifi”, however, I always get a segmentation fault or similar error, no matter which version I try from the github ( [https://github.com/balena-os/balena-engine/releases/tag/v18.9.7](https://github.com/balena-os/balena-engine/releases/tag/v18.9.7) ) arm releases. Any special magic needed here? 🙂 Best regards, Nico ---

Can you post some of the stack trace here? I would be mostly interested in the first few blocks of it ---

I will try to do so. As a short question: As the RPi Zero W has an ARMv6l processor, I would need to use the ARMv6 version of balenaEngine, correct? 🙂 ---

Hi @robertgzr, I just found an old Raspberry Pi 1 and tested it with a Yocto / Poky (Warrior) release. ./balena-engine just results in the Output of “Segmentation fault” without anything else (no stack trace). Tried it with the [balena-engine-v18.9.7-armv6.tar.gz](https://github.com/balena-os/balena-engine/releases/download/v18.9.7/balena-engine-v18.9.7-armv6.tar.gz) Any help I can give? PS: I compiled it with the meta-virtualization package and installed docker-ce (18.09.3-ce) and docker works already, but balenaEngine sadly not 🙂 ---

I have the same pi zero. will have a look as well ---

Just as an information, I also tried the 18.9.7-armv6.tar.gz on the latest raspbian buster release (September 2019, stock from image, no changes or updates) - and the version also gives just out the line “Segmentation fault”. A test with the 17.12.0-armv6 on raspbian buster on the RPi 1 gives an “Illegal instruction” error. ---

Hi I was able to reproduce this with the latest 2 builds on the repo. We have heard of issues with the statically linked binaries our build system outputs before and I had done a pre-release of v18.09.10 that is dynamically linked for this very reason… ---

I will try to get another release for the latest tag out that has dynamic executables for armv5e, armv7hf, aarch64, i386 and amd64 (so all the architectures we support) ---

@robertgzr I wanted to ask what is the status of the dynamic executables of balenaEngine for Pi Zero? I could not yet find a new release on Github. Any ETA? Thank you very much! 🙂 ---

sorry for the delay here. I was working on the build system as part of the effort to pull in docker 19.03 and really wanted to try out the new one for this release. > **[balena-os/balena-engine](https://github.com/balena-os/balena-engine/releases/tag/v18.9.13)** > > Moby-based Container Engine for Embedded, IoT, and Edge uses - balena-os/balena-engine I compile these on our Debian Stretch base-images and since they are dynamic the basic requirement would be glibc and systemd-journald libs on the target system (which means something like Alpine won’t work unfortunately) You will find armv6 binaries there as well 🙂 ---

Thank you very much! Yes on a basic raspbian, it is now perfectly working (after I manually added the user balena-engine, which the daemon seems to be needing and moved everything to /usr/local/bin :)). On yocto, it aks for the libsystemd.so.0 ask you already mentioned. So I would need to figure out how to get that dependency there … mh… ---

Hi. You may find the balenaEngine recipe for balenaOS useful: [https://github.com/balena-os/meta-balena/blob/development/meta-balena-common/recipes-containers/balena/balena\_git.bb](https://github.com/balena-os/meta-balena/blob/development/meta-balena-common/recipes-containers/balena/balena_git.bb) ---

Thanks @Ereski - I gave it a try some weeks back, but it turns out its not easy to build balenaEngine on Yocto without all the needed dependencies, which will then result in just a cloned balenaOS, so I scrapped the idea, but thank you very much 🙂
