I was aware of it yeah. Just thought it was cumbersome to have to invoke more build steps after "bitbake" in order to get my end artifact. We did some prototyping on an i.mx6 prior to the zynq platform. This class was inspired from a similar bbclass found in meta-fsl-arm (https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm/blob/master/classes/image_types_fsl.bbclass) > > There is an example which approximately resembles your sdcard layout > here: > http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks/sdimage-bootpart.wks. > The "bootimg-partition" populates from files defined by the > "IMAGE_BOOT_FILES" variable. e.g. > http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-xilinx/tree/conf/machine/zc702-zynq7.conf#n27 I think it has some value. In all previous projects, bitbake would always build everything we need to output. We particularly made use of the hddimg FS_TYPE. I just don't see why an external "wic" had to be invented in the first place... you can perfectly do everything by extending the existing IMAGE_TYPES framework. Please educate me if needed!
