I think option 2) should be simple. IMO this could also be done by image/rootfs
classes or base-files when systemd is the init.
Where is build
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/75/builds/1032
adding "read-only-rootfs" to IMAGE_FEATURES?
The failures log from step 22, full log in
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/api/v2/logs/1586278/raw_inline
only shows issues with sshd server, which IMO is not installed to any of the
built images. The builds are IMO missing IMAGE_FEATURES += "ssh-server-dropbear"
which in meta-arm kas builds is set with ci/testimage.yml.
Even the core-image-minimal tests are passing without any communication with
target qemu machine:
* ping.PingTest.test_ping with slirp pings localhost, not target machine
* parselogs.ParseLogsTest.test_get_context doesn't talk with booted qemu
machine
How to get to the qemu boot log which shows the systemd errors above?
I don't see the connection between the systemd error and the build above.
I could propose patches to the issues if I can figure out where :/
Cheers,
