To add yocto wic.bmap & wic.bz2 image support instead of .sdcard format in I.MX yocto

[srini_shanmugam]

Dear I.MX Community experts,

I need to add wic.bmap & wic.bz2 and when I tried to include as below:

IMAGE_FSTYPES = "tar.bz2 ext4 wic.gz wic.bz2 wic.map sdcard.bz2" in "imx/meta-sdk/conf/distro/include/fsl-imx-base.inc"  I get the below error, I have attached the log file for your reference to

Error:

Could you please help me how this support can be added?

Kindly do the needful,

Many Thanks in advance

Any news on this?  I have the same problem.  It seems to be that the custom .wks.in file is not on the search path, but I don't know how/where to add it...

Hello Srinivasan Shanmugam,

There is a patch in the works for adding the WKS files to the i.MX8M EVK to the Community BSP. I believe it should be ready soon.
