Dear all,
Below a small howto to get rid of the usual file copy to your rootfs.
This is my way of automatically include files to my generated image under yocto.
1. Create a recipe
Under source/meta
Below in plain text:
SUMMARY = "My test videos"
DESCRIPTION = "Test Videos"
HOMEPAGE = ""
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
MY_FILES = "/home/freerod/Videos/demo_video_VGA_25fps.MP4"
inherit allarch
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${datadir}/movies
install -m 0644 ${MY_FILES} ${D}${datadir}/movies/
}
FILES_${PN} += "${datadir}/movies"
This aims at creating a movies directory in:
/usr/share/movies within the rootfs, with the named demo_video_VGA_25fps.MP4 in it
2. CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "myvideos"
3. Check that the video will be put into the generated rootfs:
freerod@ubuntu:~/mx6/fsl-yocto-3.14.28_1.0.0/build_mx6dl$ ll tmp/work/all-poky-linux/myvideos/1.0-r0/packages-split/myvideos/usr/share/movies/demo_video_VGA_25fps.MP4
