By copying and extending that code, you can define your own custom image type (e.g. "ext4-split") which creates two ext4 images from the rootfs instead of one. -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto

How I can do this? i.e. I want two ext4 images after build: one root file system and another with content of /boot folder. Please advise An image is just a recipe. When you do: bitbake my-image you are asking bitbake to build that particular recipe. What you are saying is that you want two recipes: my-image.bb and my-image-boot.bb. If you have that, you can do this: bitbake my-image my-image-boot To simplify that, you could have another recipe (say "my-build.bb"), with DEPENDS on the two images, so you could call: bitbake my-build and that would create the two images.

[yocto] Creating multiple filesystem images
Hi, Currently when we build say core-image-minimal, we get a root file system image (say ext4) after the build. However, I also need to create an ext4 image for /boot partition (which contains zImage and dtb). I do not want wic image. How I can do this? i.e. I want two ext4 images after build: one root file system and another with content of /boot folder.
