linux/poky.git/scripts/runqemu, branch master

The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

2025-11-07T13:31:53+00:00

You can either: a) switch to individual clones of bitbake, openembedded-core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs b) use the new bitbake-setup You can find information about either approach in our documentation: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ Note that "poky" the distro setting is still available in meta-yocto as before and we continue to use and maintain that. Long live Poky! Some further information on the background of this change can be found in: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2179 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

scripts/runqemu: raise an error when bitbake was not found

2025-10-09T09:58:07+00:00

Running 'scrupts/runqemu' without bitbake in PATH causes the following error: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/rg/temp_stuff/oe_2/./scripts/runqemu", line 1807, in main config.check_args() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "/home/rg/temp_stuff/oe_2/./scripts/runqemu", line 624, in check_args s = re.search('^DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE="(.*)"', self.bitbake_e, re.M) File "/usr/lib/python3.13/re/__init__.py", line 177, in search return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^ TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object, got 'NoneType' ``` This patch adds a more helpful error message to inform the user that bitbake was not found, e.g. because oe-init-build-env was not sourced. This is an example of the new error message after the patch: ``` runqemu - ERROR - In order for this script to dynamically infer paths kernels or filesystem images, you either need bitbake in your PATH or to source oe-init-build-env before running this script. Dynamic path inference can be avoided by passing a *.qemuboot.conf to runqemu, i.e. `runqemu /path/to/my-image-name.qemuboot.conf` Bitbake is needed to run 'bitbake -e', but it is not found in PATH. Please source the bitbake build environment. ``` CC: Richard Purdie CC: Alexander Kanavin (From OE-Core rev: 0c10a78796fbdfaa5be4a824c0c9f5cb97c88046) Signed-off-by: Richard Grünert Signed-off-by: Mathieu Dubois-Briand Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

scripts/runqemu: remove the code block that works around the missing bitbake environment

2025-10-09T09:58:07+00:00

As confirmed by the previous patch this code path is never taken and can be removed. (From OE-Core rev: b931f74442e9f2fba95600ba056a5bd898c23b5a) Signed-off-by: Alexander Kanavin Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

runqemu: ensure that bitbake environment is either returned, or an exception is raised

2025-10-09T09:58:07+00:00

This eliminates the other remaining code path where environment getter returns 'nothing'. This and the previous patch were tested in a-full, and no errors occurred [1], which means the code paths that make use of the function returning nothing are never actually executed and can be cleaned up (in the following patch). The rationale is that if environment getter cannot obtain the environment, it should report that and not sweep the issue under the carpet; it's up to the caller to handle that situation, or make pre-emptive checks that avoid calling the environment getter when it is bound to fail.

runqemu: add erofs filesystem types

2025-09-22T21:09:48+00:00

runqemu does not recognize erofs, erofs-lz4, and erofs-lz4hc as filesystem types. Add them to start from an erofs filesystem without needing the full path.

runqemu: fix special characters bug

2025-08-07T11:11:16+00:00

Fix the bug in runqemu that happens when the file path contains the specific words such as 'vmlinux', e.g. /home/frank/vmlinux. runqemu - ERROR - wic doesn't need kernel (From OE-Core rev: 3c186fe7741adecb0887e36c8a9164a58fc16437) Signed-off-by: Libo Chen Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

runqemu: refactor a duplicated cleanup statement

2025-08-07T11:11:16+00:00

Refactor using a "finally:" instead of a duplicated statement inside and outside of the try/except block. (From OE-Core rev: c92399c355d1333eff37ea799832a8890acd0d74) Signed-off-by: Yoann Congal Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

runqemu: use "zstd -o" to preserve sparse images

2025-08-07T11:11:16+00:00

wic images can be sparse. Using "zstd -o" preserves the sparse state of the image and should decrease decompression time. Suggested-by: Adrian Freihofer (From OE-Core rev: 27d156d85f13131ea4c5d766ddaa2d18b88d7577) Signed-off-by: Yoann Congal Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

scripts/runqemu: Update the fstypes list with newly supported compressed images types

2025-08-06T21:32:41+00:00

Update the interal list of types within runqemu with the newly added compression formats it supports. This fixes autodetection of qemuboot file locations. (From OE-Core rev: 46b9a1c74df00f76f7c19b5ed27e6a569aaabb5e) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

runqemu: print snapshot mode state in console

2025-08-06T21:32:41+00:00

With snapshot enabled, no change on rootfs will be saved after qemu shutdown. Since this is not what a user might expect, print the snapshot mode state and its consequence in console at runqemu start.
