There isn't much to go with, are you saying you're building a initramfs image
that contains the full openbmc userspace so that a booting system doesn't need
access to the flash at all. This is exactly what I need right now, thankyou!!

I've applied this patch, and I THINK I booted with the right file... doesn't
appear to have worked, it still tried to mount the flash and because I can't
flash openbmc on my machine I got dropped into recovery shell.

Thoughts?

Thanks anyway...

Cyril

Yep, thats what it does.  Did you use obmc-phosphor-image-<machine>.cpio.lzma.u-boot?

Ah, nope that file doesn't appear to exist in my images directory. This must be
my fault, I don't really have any idea how to use bitbake more than what is on
the openbmc wiki, I hoped simply rerunning `bitbake openbmc-phosphor-image`
would have worked... doesn't appear to have created the file.

Thanks for the quick response.

So just did a clean build, I removed the entire build directory and started
again. Still no file of that name...

Just to confirm, I'm definitely looking for
`obmc-phosphor-image-<machine>.cpio.lzma.u-boot`? Based off your patch that is
what I would expect and I don't see any files that appear to be what I want
anyway...

Thanks,

Cyril

It appears I had my machine configuration missing a file.

The file spawns now, works great!

I'll add my tested by here

I really like this idea. It removes some of the barriers for testing
using the openbmc userspace when doing kernel work.
