iMX6 Yocto how to create fsl-image-gui with multiple partitions using 'wic'

Hi,

for our customized system we need to have a additional partition to store application data on SD-Card.

Tried to use 'wic' for this purpose, followed this thread:

Yocto WIC image creator with fixed partition sizes

I can successfully build image for 'core-image-minimal' and 'fsl-image-gui' using 'bitbake'. I managed to create such SD-Card image for 'core-image-minimal' with following '.wks' file and command 'wic create imx6dl-ctems-2part.wks -e core-image-minimal'

# file name imx6dl-ctems-2part.wks

# Image Creator .wks
part u-boot --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=u-boot.imx" --ondisk mmcblk --no-table --align 1

# Boot partition
part /boot --source bootimg-partition --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=vfat --label boot --active --align 4096 --size 8M --extra-space 0

# Rootfs partition
part / --source rootfs --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label root --align 4096 --size 256M --extra-space 0 --overhead-factor 1

# User data partition
part /opt/user --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label ctems --align 4096 --size 128M --extra-space 0 --overhead-factor 1

When I do this for 'fsl-image-gui' by command 'wic create imx6dl-ctems-2part.wks -e fsl-image-gui' I got the following error:

Checking basic build environment...
Done.

Creating image(s)...

Linux target system is Kernel 4.1.15_2.0.0 (fsl release) on iMX6DL, build system Yocto 2.1 Krogoth running on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64 bit.

Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks Torsten

Hello,

In case anyone else encounters this issue:

Seems like this is related to Bug 6863 – Wic fails to create a working image for a large file system

Fixed by increasing overhead for the rootfs partition in the .wks file, e.g.:

part / --source rootfs --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label root --align 4096 --size 256M --extra-space 0 --overhead-factor 1.3
