To build single image requirement

[stevenyu]

Hi Support,

We want to build a single image including kernel and file system, however, we cannot proceed by following steps. Would you please advise what we miss?

1. cd sources/

2. git clone https://github.com/sbabic/meta-swupdate.git

3. vim ./base/conf/bblayers.conf

--------------------------------------------

BBLAYERS = " \

4. cd .. & cd build-fb/

5. bitbake swupdate

Hello Steven Yu,

Are you using the FSL Community BSP or did you added the fsl layers from another BSP?

The error refers to bitbake not being able to find swupdate as a recipe. You added the meta-swupdate layer on the bblayers file, but I would recommend making sure it’ being seen by bitbake.

You can list the available layers using:

$ bitbake-layers show-layers

If it’s being seen then the next step would be making sure that the swupdate recipe is available inside of one of the recipes-XXXX folders of the layer and that there is a swupdate.bb file.

I hope this helps!

Hi gusarambula,

We use the codebase FSL Community BSP (download from NXP website), and the git clone the meta-swupdate GitHub - sbabic/meta-swupdate: Yocto receipes to generate a swupdate rootfilesystem as initrd . We use bitbake-layers show-layers and it seems not include to our source tree. Do you know what happen ? 

Below we show our steps to git clone and bitbake-layers show-layers, and we have already add meta-swupdate into bblayers.conf. It is strange.
