boot-directdisk: ensure generated MBR disk signature is non-zero

2013-09-30T21:11:58+00:00

A zero MBR disk signature is generally seen as no signature and another partitioning program might install a new signature. (From OE-Core rev: b6cafb1fcd6c168f8f4a4d2d5c74f3b425f156f3) Signed-off-by: Jonathan Liu Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel.bbclass: Allow INITRAMFS_TASK to trigger copy initramfs code

2013-09-30T21:11:58+00:00

Activating the INITRAMFS_TASK can cause circular dependencies, but that is up to the end user to resolve in recipes. The INITRAMFS_TASK should also trigger immediate linking of the cpio task in the first compile pass. This was a subtle regression introduced by: 609d5a9ab (kernel.bbclass, image.bbclass: Implement kernel INITRAMFS dependency and bundling). This patch restores the previous behavior and only affects the INITRAMFS_TASK which is not set by any of the default build profiles in oe-core.

native: Use a native site file and ensure the correct sed is used

2013-09-30T21:11:57+00:00

native recipes were not using the site files. There are some things we need to correct such as not using the path to sed-native. This allows us to deploy settings globally for all recipes rather than hacking around then in individual recipes as libtool-native used to for sed. This fixes a regression introduced by http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=32edeb391f2107bb66b361cdcd4b8d4447731c33 (From OE-Core rev: db2eb3258844458569b7d4e6ed82c345858a3b99) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

boot-directdisk.bbclass: Fix media generation problems with vmdk

2013-09-30T21:11:56+00:00

The various populate methods need to accept a path as an argument vs using hard expanded variables. In the case of the boot-directdisk class it uses a different path for HDDDIR but it gets eclipsed by the the class definition at the point in time ${HDDDIR} gets expanded. The logical fix is to pass the arguments to the functions as opposed to using globally expanded variables from the class definitions. This patch changes 3 things: 1) syslinux_hddimg_populate takes an argument for the destination 2) syslinux_iso_populate takes an argument for the destination 3) populate is changed to boot_direct_populate because there was a conflict with it overriding the populate in bootimg.bbclass [YOCTO #3994] (From OE-Core rev: 63d164b755b984021f7e3cdba7280918ded6e821) Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

syslinux.bbclass, syslinux: Update to syslinux 6.01

2013-09-30T21:11:56+00:00

A newer version of syslinux is required for an EFI enabled isohybrid. This is used for the the capability to generate 3 types of ISO images, all of which can be booted off a USB device or HDD if copied with dd. 1) PC BIOS only ISO 2) EFI only ISO 3) EFI + PC BIOS ISO The syslinux.bbclass required a minor tweak because a few .c32 libraries require dynamic loading from the created media as of syslinux 5 and up. This was a good time to also fix the duplication of the AUTO_SYSLINUXMENU block.

bootimage.bbclass, zisofs-tools-native: add ability to compress ISO images

2013-09-30T21:11:56+00:00

The mkzftree is needed to allow ISO images to be compressed with minimal runtime overhead. Below is an example of the savings on a core-image-minimal.

syslinux.bbclass: Fix hard coding of console=tty*

2013-09-30T21:11:56+00:00

The SYSLINUX_SERIAL variable was hard coded and occasionally needs to be different for the kernel argument vs the syslinux argument. In the auto-generated boot mode console=tty0 was hard coded, and this is not needed at all, and causes problems in some cases if a end user wanted to change the console=... via the kernel boot argument APPEND mechanism. The default can be forced with SYSLINUX_DEFAULT_CONSOLE for systems that need a special specification to enable the frame buffer instead of a serial port.

grub-efi.bbclass: Add serial and graphics menu options

2013-09-30T21:11:56+00:00

The syslinux.bbclass already has support for automatically generated serial and graphics menu choices. This patch adds the same concept to the grub-efi menu. That makes it possible to generate a single image which can boot on a PCBIOS or EFI firmware with consistent looking boot options.

bootimage.bbclass, grub-efi.bbclass: Improve EFI & PCBIOS+EFI ISO support

2013-09-30T21:11:56+00:00

Using the latest mkisofs it is possible to generate 3 different types of ISO images, which can be used in various scenarios. 1) PCBIOS Only ISO - This option remains unchanged by this commit - Uses syslinux menus - Can be directly copied with dd to a USB device - Can be burned to optical media 2) EFI Only ISO - Uses grub 2 menus - Can be burned to optical media - If you want to use this image on a USB device extra steps must be taken in order to format the USB device with fat32, and copy an EFI loader which will in turn load the iso image 3) PCBIOS / EFI ISO - This is a hybrid image ISO that will work for case 1 or 2 as above with the same restrictions and boot menu types depending on what type of firmware is installed on the hardware or depending on if EFI or "Legacy Boot" is enabled on some UEFI firmwares. The syslinux.bbclass is now always required because that is where the isohybrid dependencies come from as well as the configuration data for the isohybrid. The isohybrid is the secret sauce which allows the ISO to work as optical media or as a disk image on USB or a HDD/SSD.

testimage: Exclude BB_ORIGENV variable

2013-09-26T16:27:02+00:00

The BB_ORIGENV variable isn't picklable and causes failures when generating the task signature for the autorun image mode. We don't want to depend on its contents anyway so lets exclude it. (From OE-Core rev: 3f5f9d2681d41e44dade5d3a5a4bff3fd38f5506) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
