[master/dunfell PATCH V4 00/12] recipes-core: Add a bootstrap Linux image

[Nishanth Menon]

Board bringups are typically painful. however, over the years, folks
know of minimal debug tools that are pretty effective in helping debug
basic peripherals. Lets create a reusable packagegroup balancing the
tools from wisdom from various folks vs the size of the resultant
package.

We would like to base such a system on more simplistic sysvinit (no
offence systemd, you are still our fav), as it has a much smaller
footprint.

The board startup is best done with a minimal u-boot and kernel device
tree configurations.

[master/dunfell PATCH V4 09/12] recipes-core: images: Add a basic bootstrap base image

[Nishanth Menon]

Since we do not wish to modify the tiny-image from anything but really
tiny, lets use that infrastructure and add the bootstrap package group
to create initramfs (not exactly a completely usable system) which can
be used for basic board bringup.

This generates cpio around 36-40MB which should be usually fine for
even smaller systems (Ofcourse, this is much larger than tiny-image
which is around 6MB size). The packages are organized per size to
allow easier customization if desired.

I just realized - this won't work (and the patch hasn't been tested).

As you can see, there was no tiny image in this list. The reason is that tiny 
image has package management disabled for additional size savings, but that 
also breaks the way SDK installer bundle gets processed for the SW manifest. 
That means any other images that are based on tiny or that disable package 
management, cannot be listed in TARGET_IMAGES of the SDK installer bundle.

I think you mean IMAGE_FEATURES_remove = "package-management" in
tiny-image.inc

I did do MACHINE=xxx bitbake tisdk-core-bundle, but I did'nt wait for it
to complete (got to 99%).

I also do see ipks in build/arago-tmp-external-arm-glibc/deploy/ipk/all
and in build/arago-tmp-external-arm-glibc/deploy/ipk/aarch64/

During the build, I did notice:
WARNING: bootstrap-initrd-1.0-r0 do_package: Manifest /workdir/pub-sdk/oe-layersetup/build/arago-tmp-external-arm-glibc/sstate-control/manifest-x86_64_x86_64-nativesdk-tisdk-bootstrap-base-image.packagedata not found in j7_evm aarch64 allarch x86_64_x86_64-nativesdk (variant '')?

And once I waited for the complete build, I got this:
https://gist.github.com/nmenon/3ef33a14df77d9c7869f4c87fcfbc990

I guess I have to see how to introduce packagemanagement back in for
bootstrap image?
