Bitbake rootfs issue

Hi all,

I am getting the issue that binaries are not installed in the final rootfs
after executing the build
using bitbake.The do_install function executes successfully but i am not
seeing the binaries
in rootfs.How can i debug this.
Also is there any sanity check or dependency  performs before putting the
binaries in rootfs
or generating the final image,if that how can we know because of which
dependency binaries are not installed in rootfs.

Best Regards
Mayank

The name do_install is a little misleading - it is not installing anything in the rootfs. It is installing to a staging area. See https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-tasks-install. To actually get something installed in the rootfs, you need to use IMAGE_INSTALL: https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/3.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-IMAGE_INSTALL.  See also https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/3.1/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-customimage.

Thanks,
Chris
