[yocto] wic command, partitioned image, multiple boot loader entries
I'm using wic to create an EFI bootable "multi rootfs" image. This image has two different Linux OS configurations, each in their own partition of course. I have been able to successfully create and boot the final wic image. The question I have is how to I create more than one .conf file in the /loader/entries folder of the boot partition. By default wic is only creating only one entry (boot.conf) but I need to have two unique .conf files, one for each Linux OS partition that I want to boot from. Unless someone knows another way. -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
Re: [yocto] wic command, partitioned image, multiple boot loader entries
I should add the following information: - The UEFI boot manager used by my image is systemd-boot - The version of wic being used is 0.2.0 - The version of Yocto Project is 2.2 (Morty) - My hardware architecture is x86 According to the documentation on " systemd-boot" boot manager, each .conf entry in the /loader/entries directory represents one boot option / configuration. So I am wanting to know, how do I setup my kickstart file or the configuration file specified after parameter "--configfile" in the kickstart file, to create more than one .conf file in the /loader/entries directory.

[yocto] Install Yocto Image using PXE Boot & TFTP
I'm trying to figure out how to install a Yocto image over Ethernet using PXE boot, TFTP, etc. I should emphasize that the PXE Server needs to be run on a Windows machine. I know there are several PXE server's available for Windows like TFTPD64, Tiny PXE Server and Serva. I'm somewhat familiar with the high-level process of using PXE to boot and then TFTP to then download files to the client. The thing I am having the most difficulty with right now is determining what files I need on my Windows machine (and where do I get them), besides the PXE/TFTP Server, to be able to accomplish this task. The other thing I'm not sure about is how I am supposed to setup the PXE/TFTP server from the standpoint of the "boot file" option for DHCP and whether or not I am supposed to be using / setting the PXE Options like option 66, 67, etc. Clarification on those items would be appreciated also. I should also emphasize that I am very new not only to Yocto but also Linux. Any help that can be provided here would be greatly appreciated. Additional information that may be helpful to someone wanting to respond to this post is as follows: * Client Hardware: Kontron SBC model COMe-MAL10 (x64) * BIOS: UEFI (I don't think there's a legacy option) * Using Yocto Project Version 2.2.3 * Using Tiny PXE Server Version 1.0.0.21. Not apposed to using TFTPD64 or other. -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
