Hi JH, I believe the most important feature of the wic images is to be able to flash your SD card faster than just extract and dd the full image on the SD card. For that reason you can use the bmap-tool which already supports the gz compression (as also .bz2). To do that you also need the bmap

The same also happens with the deb packager. But it works with rpm. For deb '_' is not allowed character, so I guess ithe same for ipkg. You need to either change the 'LOCALVERSION' of the kernel or use rpm. Dimitris On Thu, Apr 4, 2019 at 11:07 AM Fernando AE wrote: > Hello all, > > I

AFAIK, you can't have dynamic variables in the local.conf that you can control from bitbake. If you want to dynamically pass a variable to bitbake, you need to use the `-e` option and pass an environment file with you dynamic variables in there. Or use a custom script that calls bitbake and with
