All strapped in because here we go!
So you have selected the types of images you want to build by add
it's type to IMAGE_FSTYPES, of which you can have multiple types.
a minor nit but i used meta-yocto to configure for a beagle and used
bitbake-env to display the default value of IMAGE_FSTYPES:
$ bitbake-env IMAGE_FSTYPES
IMAGE_FSTYPES=" tar.bz2 jffs2"
$
so far, so good. but then i simply *assigned* (not added) in
local.conf:
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "vmdk"
and checked again ... ???
$ bitbake-env IMAGE_FSTYPES
IMAGE_FSTYPES="vmdk tar.bz2 jffs2"
$
um ... huh? which is explained by the following inconsistent
collection of assignments in poky:
Good catch, I think some make sense and other should be fixed.
$ grep -r "IMAGE_FSTYPES.*=" *
meta/conf/bitbake.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "tar.gz"
Base assignment for default, of course it should ?=
meta/conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc:IMAGE_FSTYPES += "ext3 cpio.gz live"
meta/conf/machine/include/qemu.inc:IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2 ext3"
These make sense as += it allows the DISTRO and/or user to add more types.
meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal-initramfs.bb:IMAGE_FSTYPES =
"${INITRAMFS_FSTYPES}"
initramfs will only need the cpio.gz there for set it directly
meta/recipes-core/images/build-appliance-image.bb:IMAGE_FSTYPES = "vmdk"
build appliance only needs 1 fs types so set it directly.
meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky-tiny.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES = "ext2 cpio.gz"
again small custom image this is a DISTRO setting
meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/beagleboard.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2 jffs2"
As the qemu and ia32 add correct fs types for beagleboard.
meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/routerstationpro.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "jffs2
tar.bz2"
meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/atom-pc.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "ext3 cpio.gz live"
I would think that += would be better here, I would welcome a patch!
scripts/lib/bsp/substrate/target/arch/mips/conf/machine/{{=machine}}.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES
?= "jffs2 tar.bz2"
Looks like these followed the pattern of the base machine, but I think
this should be +=, a patch would be welcome!
Sau!
scripts/lib/bsp/substrate/target/arch/arm/conf/machine/{{=machine}}.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES +=
"tar.bz2 jffs2"
$
that appears to be a very confusing mix of "=" and "?=" and "+=".
is that really the effect you were going for?
