wic: search nonarch STAGING_DATADIR for multilib

2018-10-16T19:35:43+00:00

It fails to build multilib image such as lib32-core-image-minimal with wic by set 'IMAGE_FSTYPES = "wic"': | ERROR: Couldn't find correct bootimg_dir, exiting When multilib is enabled, STAGING_DATADIR is expanded with MLPREFIX. But dependencies of images such as syslinux is still populated to nonarch STAGING_DATADIR. Search nonarch STAGING_DATADIR to fix the error.

wic: make engine.py:get_partitions() resilient to parted/dmidecode stderr output

2018-10-12T15:57:21+00:00

Running wic commands on Debian 10 systems fail in scripts/lib/wic/engine.py:get_partitions() due to new stderr output captured when trying to parse the output from /sbin/parted as a non-root user. The parted command calls the dmidecode utility, which produces this error as a non-root user: /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/smbios_entry_point: Permission denied /dev/mem: Permission denied scripts/lib/wic/engine.py:get_partitions() calls misc.py:exec_cmd(), a subprocess wrapper which returns a combined stderr and sdtdout. These messages to stderr confuse the partition table parser in get_partitions(). This patch has the partition table parser ignore lines before the expected "BYT;" header string. Running wic in Debian 9 does not have this issue. (From OE-Core rev: d6936301d7598b7a783beaae95109555faf6cc17) Signed-off-by: Geoff Parker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

qemux86-directdisk: remove mem= parameter

2018-10-04T13:31:06+00:00

Remove usage of a specific amount of memory and let it be controlled by users. This was the default behaviour before it was changed by commit 3b79d9a78 that switched the wks file to be used for qemux86. Also fixes the bitbake parsing issues seen because of memory starvation using build appliance images.

isoimage-isohybrid: don't include cpio in cpio image

2018-09-20T12:41:31+00:00

Because the find | cpio processes execute in parallel connected via the pipe, and the cpio outputs in the same dir find searches for source files, the cpio will be included in itself partially, depending on how fast the build machine creates the cpio file before cpio gobbles it up. This bloats the ISO image, though compression reduces the .iso file size, once the kernel decompresses the cpio image and boots it live, it uses up to double the RAM memory. Fix this by creating the initrd.cpio file directly inside cr_workdir. (From OE-Core rev: 7a7b29f5f1392f4f87af4f20cda99c66b4789fde) Signed-off-by: Ioan-Adrian Ratiu Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

wic: squashfs does support partition uuid.

isoimage-isohybrid: Fix variable names

2018-08-29T09:42:48+00:00

initrd.cpio is created in initrd_dir, not in cr_workdir. Gzip will let initrd.cpio uncompressed if the path is not found. Also, grub_image variable doesn't exist, grub_src_image should be used instead.
