Yocto stopped building .sdcard files

[SteveRathjen]

Hi all,

I'm stuck.  Yocto suddenly stopped creating the .sdcard files both with bitbake command and via hob.  I was playing with the image size and free space settings in hob when it stopped.. I set them back (64 and 0), but still no .sdcard file is being generated.  u-boot, ext3 and uImage are being updated.

I tried fsl-image-gui and core-image-sato.  I have one layer that patches the kernel - adds my VID/PID to USB Serial CP210x driver .c file, also using a frag.cfg file to edit a few kernel CONFIG_ line - all for USB serial support, this works.

I have Sabre-SDB/imx6sabresd, ubuntu 12.04 x64.. what else you need to know?  I think I setup yocto with dylan, but I'm not sure.. what should I use ?

Any ideas?  Anyway to get this back to the default as it was when installed?  I tried -c clean on core-image-sato.  I'd rather not re-install everything... and recompile everything.

Thanks,

Steve

I wonder if HOB changed a setting on local.conf, so please post it. Have you done other changes on the base layers? run repo status on the base folder (../build).

I had to do a lot to gpu-viv-mx6q and mesa just to get hob to allow me to build an image.  I built several .sdcards after those changes, so I don't think they are responsible for .sdcard not being created. In linux-imx, I removed patch 0005 - Multitouch something in an attempt to get my MCIMX28LCD touchscreen working on the imx6 sabre-sdb (no luck).

Here's local.conf:

Can I remove anything #added by hob?

I'm able to manually add uImage /ext3 to the SD card, but it would be nice to get the .sdcard files working again, and I'm curious what went wrong.

Thanks,

Steve

[LeonardoSandova · Accepted solution]

it should be:

IMAGE_FSTYPES="tar.bz2 ext3 sdcard"

I think you can remove all hob stuff if you are not planning to use HOB. Is there any special reason using HOB besides its GUI nature?

Thanks! That fixed it.

I wanted to try hob for managing packages.  I'm new to Yocto and not exactly sure how to add/remove packages from the config files yet.  Have experience on the imx28 and LTIB - so I may want to try to build an imx28 image and hob seemed an easier way to jump between platforms.  Running bitbake seems a bit faster tho and I tend to use it more.  I do like Yocto compared with LTIB.  It's easier to work on the kernel when you have to try dozens of things before finding a solution.
