Poky (suma) switching to systemd

Poky (suma) switching to systemd

[John Tobias]

Hello All,

I was trying to switch to systemd so, I followed the
meta-poky/conf/local.conf.sample.extended documentation to add the
following (below) into my local.conf.
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED += "sysvinit"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = "systemd-compat-units"

I ran 'bitbake core-image-minimal' and saw the systemd was compiling.
When the bitbake raturned, I checked the image directory and did not
see the any rootfs images.

I would like to know if anyone successfully switching to systemd in poky?.

Note: If I build an image without switch to systemd, the bitbake
produces an rootfs images.

Regards,

John

Add :

     KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " cfg/systemd.scc"

to conf/local.conf file

Hi John,

I think your configuration could work.
The problem of no rootfs image is probably related to IMAGE_FSTYPES?
Could you please check its value via `bitbake -e core-image-minimal'?

FYI, I've been using systemd by default for a long time.

Best Regards,
Chen Qi

If no images were produced then there must have been an error message
from bitbake.  Can you share you logs?
