How to change init.d rc boot files for fsl-image-kernelitb?

[pro-supportengi]

How do customers add a binary file to init.d for fsl-image-kernelitb for the ls1043 and how does a customer modify the init.d recipe for fsl-image-kernelitb to execute the binary at boot time?  The fsl-image-kenrelitb uses the fsl-core-image rootfs by default. Need to add a binary to sbin and/or preferably etc to execute at boot time as a quick hack to check boot performance and modify run levels for the binary.

When I modify poky/meta/recipes-core/initscripts/initscripts_1.0.bb and add a binary, the binary gets added to aarch64-fsl-linux/image/etc/eos.  It never gets copied to the rootfs for the fsl-image-kernelitb bitbake.  What is the equivalent recipe for the ls1043. Please answer with more than one or two sentences to avoid wasting time.  Clear explanation and no links to yocto documentation please.

I modified the initscripts_1.0.bb recipe in poky/meta/recipes-core/initscripts provided below and then placed the binary "eos" under initscripts-1.0/eos.  I then did the fsl-image-kernelitb bitbake.  The bitbake does a bake of aarch64-fsl-linux and eos the binary is moved to packages-split/initscripts/etc/init.d/eos and images/etc/init.d/eos as shown.  But it does not get packaged in rootfs under ls1043ardb-fsl-linux or under core or anywhere else. 

First, it’s unclear how to add a binary to the correct recipes for rootfs /etc/init.d for the fsl-image-kernelitb bitbake that uses core as the default. Second, it is unclear what to modify to get eos to execute at boot time for fsl-image-kernelitb if the image only appears under aarch64-fsl-linux.  Any assistance will help.  I provide the modified initscripts_1.0.bb recipe below and the directories where the eos binary is copied.

The bitbake command I used: bitbake fsl-image-kernelitb

Placed the binary in this directory and modified the initscripts_1.0.bb recipe as shown below:

./poky/meta/recipes-core/initscripts/initscripts-1.0/eos

Then on doing the bitbake, the eos binary was copied to these locations:

./build_ls1043ardb_release/tmp/work/aarch64-fsl-linux/initscripts/1.0-r155/eos

./build_ls1043ardb_release/tmp/work/aarch64-fsl-linux/initscripts/1.0-r155/packages-split/initscripts/etc/rcS.d/S96eos

./build_ls1043ardb_release/tmp/work/aarch64-fsl-linux/initscripts/1.0-r155/package/etc/init.d/eos

When doing a bitbake of the fsl-image-core, I receive the following errors:

• Why is .debug created and how can this be avoided?
• Is this .debug error preventing the eos binary from being copied to fsl-image-core/rootfs/etc/init.d when doing a bitbake of either fsl-image-core or fsl-image-kernelitb?
• If not, what needs to be changed to allow a new executable to be added to the init.d scripts and run for fsl-image-core and fsl-image-kernelitb when booting?

ls tmp/work/ls1043ardb-fsl-linux/fsl-image-core/1.0-r0/rootfs/etc/init.d/eos

ls: cannot access eos: No such file or directory

Following these steps the binary file can be found in the new rootfs and in the .itb. If the file can’t be found in new itb.

1) Add the binary to initscripts-1.0/

~/Linux-LS1043A-SDK-V0.5-20151223-yocto/poky/meta/recipes-core/initscripts/initscripts-1.0/

2) Modify the initscripts_1.0.bb as follows:

diff new.bb tmp/org.bb

7,8d6

< # add binary files and skep .debug issue

< INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "debug-files"

37d34

<           file://eos \

103d99

<    install -m 0755    ${WORKDIR}/eos        ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d

140,143c136

<     update-rc.d -r ${D} dmesg.sh start 41 S .

<      

<         # Run eos and change start sequence as needed

<     update-rc.d -r ${D} eos start 50 S .

---

>     update-rc.d -r ${D} dmesg.sh start 38 S .

3) Bitbake

1. bitbake initscripts -c cleansstate
2. bitbake fsl-image-core
3. bitbake fsl-image-kernelitb

build_ls1043ardb_release/tmp/work/ls1043ardb-fsl-linux/fsl-image-core/1.0-r0/

./rootfs/etc/rcS.d/S50eos

./rootfs/etc/init.d/.debug/eos

./rootfs/etc/init.d/eos

If using a script under initscripts-1.0/ instead of a binary, there is no need to use:

INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "debug-files"
