Greetings !

I am trying to integrate the ubuntu 20.04 Root file system with the yocto build . Ultimately my final image should consists of :

Bootloader and Kernel : From default yocto build system.

Rootfile system : Should be taken the ubuntu 20.04 RFS.

I am adding the ubuntu 20.04 rfs as a recipe in yocto, but I am failing to integrate this ubuntu RFS over the default yocto root file system.

Requesting your solutions and steps .

Thanks in advance

The first question is why.  It sounds like you want Ubuntu but the
bootloader and kernel built by Yocto.  I'm struggling to see what this
would achieve.

... a legal battle maybe?

Bring in the lawyers!

I would also ask:

"What is your use case?"
"Did you ask Canonical?"
"Does Canonical allow you to do this?"

 From [1]:

"Copyright licensing[1] and trademarks[3] are two different areas of 
law, and we consider them separately in Ubuntu. The following policy 
applies only to copyright licences. We evaluate trademarks on a 
case-by-case basis."

 From [4]:

"
