build fails with core-image-full-cmdline.ext4.gz not found error

[Thomas Poly]

Hi Stefano,

I am new to swupdate.

I am building Yocto with swupdate on my machine which is Ubuntu 22.04 and have checked out Kirkstone ,

swupdate-yocto/layers$ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky -b kirkstone
swupdate-yocto/layers$ git clone https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git -b kirkstone
swupdate-yocto/layers$ git clone https://github.com/sbabic/meta-swupdate -b kirkstone
swupdate-yocto/layers$ git clone https://github.com/sbabic/meta-swupdate-boards.git -b kirkstone

When I build, I get the following errors

ERROR: update-image-1.0-r0 do_swuimage: swupdate cannot find image file: /home/test/swupdate-yoct-test/swupdate-yocto/build/tmp/deploy/images/beaglebone-yocto/core-image-full-cmdline.ext4.gz

Is Kirkstone release supported with swupdate ? If not, which release should I be trying.

How is core-image-full-cmdline.ext4.gz getting created ?

Thanks,

Thomas

Forgot to mention the target, this is build for Beaglebone.

Hello all,

I have found the solution for this compilation error. This was due to the right et4.gz file was not created under tmp/deploy/images,

To get this working,  I had to make few changes

1, Modify update-image.bb

# images and files that will be included in the .swu image
-SWUPDATE_IMAGES = "core-image-full-cmdline"
+SWUPDATE_IMAGES = "core-image-full-cmdline-beaglebone-yocto"

2, Modify sw-description

                      copy1 : {
                                images: (
                                        {
-                                               filename = "core-image-full-cmdline-beaglebone.ext4.gz";
+                                               filename = "core-image-full-cmdline-beaglebone-yocto.ext4.gz";
                                                device = "/dev/mmcblk1p2";
                                                type = "raw";
                                                compressed = "zlib";

                                                compressed = "zlib";

 

3, Update local.conf with the following changes

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += " \
        swupdate \
        swupdate-www \
"
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "ext4.gz"

Thanks,

Thomas
