howto create boot.scr from boot.cmd with yocto

Hi,

i want to create a boot.scr file. I added to SRC_URI = "file://boot.cmd" and placed the file boot.cmd into the folder meta-my-uboot/recipes-bsp/u-boot/files .

Then i added UBOOT_ENV = "boot" and UBOOT_ENV_SUFFIX = "scr" into my local.conf.

But that is not enough, it complains about not finding ${S}/boot.scr ??

Do i need to add a do_compile() function to build the boot.scr from boot.cmd with mkimage ?? I really think this feature is already integrated into yocto , or?

thanks for help

When i use a do_compile() function to build with mkimage the boot.scr , it complains about not finding u-boot-sd.imx ?

hi,

thanks but it seemed that i need to insert extra lines like:

do_compile_append() {

${WORKDIR}/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d ${WORKDIR}/boot.cmd ${WORKDIR}/${UBOOT_ENV_BINARY}

}

then it builds from a boot.cmd file the boot.scr file.

Very sad, i thought that yocto could still handle that, or i dont know how to activate it ??

The next problem is now, how to copy the boot.scr file to the sdcard image ?? When i use IMAGE_BOOT_FILES = "boot.scr" inside build/conf/local.conf nothing happens, even if the boot.scr file is located in build/tmp/deploy/images/imx6qsabresd directory ?

Sorry for any-inconvenient.

But I have same this issue with iMX6ULL.

So, Do yo have a solution to build "boot.scr" from Yocto project ??

Thanks,
