wic: Add gpt-hybrid partition layout

2023-09-02T10:47:50+00:00

Add support for formatting a disk with a hybrid MBR & GPT partition scheme. In this scheme, the primary partitioning method is GPT, but a valid MBR header is also written than can point to a subset of the GPT partitions on the disk (any partitions marked with the `--mbr` flag will be included in this MBR). The primary purpose of this method is to allow for SoCs that can only find a bootloader in an MBR partition to use GPT once the bootloader is running. As an example, older versions of the Raspberry Pi firmware can only parse MBR partitions to find a kernel (or other bootloader like u-boot), but once those have booted GPT partitions can be used. In addition to the partitions annotated with the `--mbr`, a "protective" GPT partition of type 0xEE is added, as the existence of such a partition is the indication to tooling that this a hybrid MBR and that the GPT partition table should be parsed instead.

wic: Add argument --hidden to default imager

2023-05-25T09:29:08+00:00

Add argument --hidden to avoid MS Windows prompting to format partition after flashing to a USB stick, SD card on another media. Set Bit 0 (RequiredPartition) to mark that the partition is required for the platform to function on GUID Partition Table (GPT). The new argument simplifies setting RequiredPartition on GPT through a WKS file and the default imager plugin. Otherwise, without this feature, to achieve the same result a new imager plugin has to be implemented and set in WIC_CREATE_EXTRA_ARGS.

wic: add 'none' fstype for custom image

2022-08-12T18:22:04+00:00

It's not possible to set the label (of gpt entry) normally when I want to use non-listed fstype as a rawcopy. Example) part ? --source rawcopy --ondisk mmcblk0 --label mypart --sourceparams file=mypart.raw To resolve this problem, this patch addes a 'none' fstype and ignore do_image_label on rawcopy (that actually set the partition label.)

wic: added fspassno parameter to partition

2022-05-16T22:19:18+00:00

The `fspassno` parameter allows to overwrite the value of the last column (`fs_passno`) in the /etc/fstab of the target root file system. This allows to have periodic file system checks.

wic: Add --no-fstab-update part option

2021-08-20T07:53:03+00:00

When embedding a rootfs image (e.g. 'rootfs-dir') as a partition we might want to keep the stock fstab for that image. In such a case, use this option to not update the fstab and use the stock one instead. This option allows you to specify which partitions get the fstab updated and which get the stock fstab. The option matches the argument you can pass to wic itself where the same action is performed but for all the partitions. Example: part /export --source rootfs --rootfs-dir=hockeycam-image --fstype=ext4 --label export --align 1024 --no-fstab-update part / --source rootfs --fstype=ext4 --label rootfs --align 1024 (From OE-Core rev: ab4c95af8ecd15dc136194ab761afae756db5803) Signed-off-by: Daniel Gomez Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

Add support for erofs filesystems

2021-05-31T13:31:01+00:00

Since Linux 5.4 a new read-only filesystem is available, erofs. Compared to squashfs it offers much better read performance with and without compression enabled. It suppports two optional compressors, lz4 and lz4hc. >From the mkfs.erofs man page: EROFS is a new enhanced lightweight linux read-only filesystem with modern designs (eg. no buffer head, reduced metadata, inline xattrs/data, etc.) for scenarios which need high-performance read-only requirements, e.g. Android OS for smartphones and LIVECDs. It also provides fixed-sized output compression support, which improves storage density, keeps relatively higher compression ratios, which is more useful to achieve high performance for embedded devices with limited memory since it has unnoticable memory overhead and page cache thrashing. This commit adds support for three new filesystem targets: erofs: erofs without compression erofs-lz4: erofs with lz4 compresssion enabled erofs-lz4hc: erofs with lz4hc compression enabled (From OE-Core rev: 41dead1ff8ccc49e6cd6e6f5d41a59d164693e0d) Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

wic/direct/kparser: ensure fsuuid for vfat and msdos align with format

2021-01-01T23:15:13+00:00

vfat/msdos filesystem should have fsuuid in format 0xYYYYYYYY where "0x" in front follow with 8 hexadecimal number in uppercase. In wic, when using custom fsuuid for vfat/msdos partition in wks, it is able to set the value in any length, with or without leading "0x". This can cause fsuuid missaligned when fstab updates, fstab expect exactly 10 character fsuuid for vfat/msdos partition and all in uppercase. if custom fsuuid for vfat/msdos is set, check the length and format, error if it exceed the format size. Amend it so it is align with format 0xYYYYYYYY. This is done before image create and fstab update to ensure the fsuuid are same in all followup process. if custom fsuuid length less than expected, fill in "0".

wic: Add 512 Byte alignment to --offset

2020-08-22T14:46:55+00:00

Allows the --offset argument to use the "s" or "S" suffix to specify that it is reporting the number of 512 byte sectors. This is required for some SoCs where the mask ROM looks for an item at a sector that isn't aligned to a 1KB boundary.

wic: Add --offset argument for partitions

2020-06-04T12:27:32+00:00

Add support for an --offset argument when defining a partition. Many SoCs require that boot partitions be located at specific offsets. Prior to this argument, most WKS files were using the --align attribute to specify the location of these fixed partitions but this is not ideal because in the event that the partition couldn't be placed in the specified location, wic would move it to the next sector with that alignment, often preventing the device from booting. Unlike the --align argument, wic will fail if a partition cannot be placed at the exact offset specified with --offset.
