The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

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/wic: fix calling wic ls|cp|rm|write hung in bitbake task

2025-06-26T10:02:34+00:00

While calling wic ls/cp/rm/write in bitbake task along with do_image_wic, it hung without return. Due to commit [2255f28b57 wic: add WIC_SECTOR_SIZE variable][1] applied, It calls get_bitbake_var in `wic ls|cp|rm|write' to define sector size. By default, get_bitbake_var starts a `bitbake -e' to get variables which triggers nested bitbake in this situation Refer `wic create', adds option --vars and --image-name to support to read bitbake variables from .env files NOTE: This commit does not add -e for `wic write' to avoid confliction with existed option -e/--expand [1] https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/commit/2255f28b579bc5db4138bcacbb829661ae0ee721 (From OE-Core rev: 793732a6ac2b3788d6c6635e5a496b117bd60584) Signed-off-by: Hongxu Jia Signed-off-by: Mathieu Dubois-Briand Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
