Add e2fsprogs-mke2fs and dosfstools for mkfs.ext4 and mkfs.vfat
Right now the only image that is using this package group is the tiny
image. And part of the goal of the tiny image is to remain as small as
possible.
The intent of the tiny image is to support the initial wakeup efforts.
During this time the various hardware settings are not fully known and
so external memory and other things do not work. The initramfs is meant
to provide the bare minimal OS needed to fit into the on-chip SRAM to
figure out those settings. Once those settings are figured out, we
never go back to the tiny image.
So what is the need for the mkfs tools in the tiny image? Why not use a
bigger image that has these tools in it?
There is a customer requirement to provide production programming
solution to use arago-tiny-image to partition and program
the boot media like eMMC. We need these utilities to format the eMMC.
This is upstream mailing list. Please keep the TI internal jira-ids away
from it.
Regards,
Chirag
The purpose of tiny, as stated, is to serve the wakeup efforts of
figuring out hardware settings for the kernel/uboot so that we can move
to a "real" image that has these kinds of tools. If there is a customer
need, they are free to add their own layer to configure their own
package-groups or their own images.
We are not going to accept this patch.
