I do it like this:

http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2017-April/135187.html


The idea is that you make a regular package that contains the tar.bz2 of the 
image you want in flash and put that into the image for the SD card.

You cannot have the same image, since that would recursively include itself, 
but you could make big-image.bb like this:

require small-image.bb
IMAGE_INSTALL += "big-project"

I don't think it is good if both rootfs are based on the same image.

My first idea will be to create an install image for sd card depending on your image rootfs tarball.

$ cat installer-image.bb
...
do_rootfs[depends] += "original-image"

ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND = my-copy-image-to-installer-rootfs

my-copy-image-to-installer-rootfs() {
  cp ??.tar.bz2 ${D}/home/root
}

But maybe it is not the best solution.

You can look at meta/classes/image-live.bbclass which provides a similar mechanism.

Partially. Sounds like you want to invent your own update mechanism. 
Have you had a look at the already existing ones, specifically swupdate?

if you intend to build an update system, Josef is right, choose an 
existing (image/archive-based) one. Here is a good overview and 
comparison of update frameworks currently supported by meta layers:

   https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/System_Update

If you intend to do this for factory bootstrapping your device instead, 
i.e. you also set up the flash partitioning etc. this is partly out of 
the scope of these tools. A typical setup we use for this is a rootfs 
partition on your disk that you start your factory system from, and a 
second data partition where you place your rootfs in.

We use the `genimage` [1] tool for creating such images that also allows 
packing build images into a data partition, but this should be possible 
with Yocto's `wic` [2], too.

Note that you can also do a two-step approach where you set-up the flash 
storage with a script first and then already use an update tool to 
deploy the initial content (from the data partition) to it. Note that 
not all tools will support this by their configuration, currently.


Best regards, Enrico

Maybe your IT allows only outgoing mail transport?.. haha

Or its a misconfiguration of some sort of nodupes settings and you 
assume you have not sent it, yet?.. Just look at the answers, you have!

Install rootfs.tar.bz2 to ${D}/home/root/

[Maier, Chris]

Hi, 

I want to create a deployable SD card image. My board (beaglebone based) boots from SD card and runs a script which copies the rootfs.tar.bz2 to the flash memory. 
So how can I deploy a copy of the whole rootfs to ${D}/home/root? 
A rootfs in the rootfs, does that make sense? 

Any help is appreciated. 

Chris Maier

you could write a image post processing function to do it.

Assuming you have two image recipes (inner-image.bb and
outer-image.bb), add something like the following to the
outer-image.bb recipe:

  do_rootfs[depends] += "inner-image:do_image_complete"
  ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "copy_inner_image; "
  copy_inner_image () {
    install -d ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/home/root
    install -m644 ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/inner-image-${MACHINE}.tar.bz2
${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/home/root/rootfs.tar.bz2
  }

Also ensure that either the machine config or inner-image.bb includes:

  IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2"

*sigh*

I've tried to get in touch via non-list email (as for overly aggressive 
mail servers), and even called the company but you didn't pick up the 
phone. So Chris - if you ever read this: I really tried. Obviously 
there's no other choice than bluntly ignoring this topic.
