How do you remove zImage from Rootfs?

amckay — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 20:06:14 GMT

I'm working on an imx6 based project that we have converted over to booting from NAND. To create a failsafe upgrade path we have to keep our filesystem images relatively small and this has required a reduction in files on the rootfs. With NAND flash boot our kernel image is stored in a separate partition accessible via uBoot. So the zImage file is no longer required in our rootfs.

I'm trying to determine why zImage is in the rootfs and how I can remove it, with little success. My google-fu has found examples for the beagleboard etc. But their machine files are setup quite differently. Our machine is based on the imx6ull14x14evk.conf file in Poky.

Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

You still need to set some kind of IMAGE_FSTYPES, for example "wic". wic is the mechanism of choice for creating images these days.
