I did something similar to this a while back, but I didn’t care about the image itself, just the manifest so I could generate RPM lists.
So we would install the base content from a tarball and then install supplemental / optional content from RPMs. I used a filter in my script to exclude the roots bootstrap components when I processed through the manifest. --- Regards, Darcy Darcy Watkins :: Senior Staff Engineer, Firmware SIERRA WIRELESS Direct +1 604 233 7989<tel:+1%20604%20233%207989> :: Fax +1 604 231 1109<tel:+1%20604%20231%201109> :: Main +1 604 231 1100<tel:+1%20604%20231%201100> 13811 Wireless Way :: Richmond, BC Canada V6V 3A4<x-apple-data-detectors://3/1> [M5] dwatk...@sierrawireless.com<mailto:dwatk...@sierrawireless.com> :: www.sierrawireless.com<http://www.sierrawireless.com/> On Jul 15, 2018, at 12:24 PM, Lukasz Zemla <lukasz.ze...@woodward.com<mailto:lukasz.ze...@woodward.com>> wrote: Dear All, Because of some formal reasons, we would like to split our rootfs image into 2 parts: 1. base system - to be reused between different project variants, typical rootfs content. 2. application/data - less critical application, configuration, data, logs. How to generate in Yocto application/data image(2)? It is about generation of empty image containing only requested packages, like Package-A, Package-B... We tried following: inherit image IMAGE_FEATURES = "" DISTRO_FEATURES = "" IMAGE_INSTALL = " \ Package-A \ Package-B \ " IMAGE_FSTYPES = "ubi tar.gz" But it produces classical rootfs image with (unwanted): bin, boot, etc, lib... We'd prefer to have it built in an efficient way, so we'd like to avoid generating full image and then removing files by hand in postprocess command.
