Re: [yocto] Any Linux/Yocto Image Installer (for target system)
Thanks Ross. I found init-install.sh that I could relate to run-time installation offered at BOOT time. And I'd used it to install image on SSD from USB drive. Would you or anyone know where the script that formats/generates .hddimg? I'd like to see if we could customize the layout of this image to multiple partitions. The reason I'm thinking this way is that our real H/W (vs. the evaluation platform I've been using) doesn't support USB port, thus no run-time installer.

Re: [yocto] Any Linux/Yocto Image Installer (for target system)
This brings up the next logical question - where is the installer? I'd already done a grep and looked into the volume of output. You could ask why don't I read the code. Yes, only if I know what I'm reading is the "correct" file/code. Otherwise, I could be spending a lot of time reading a lot of unrelated codes.

Re: [yocto] Any Linux/Yocto Image Installer (for target system)
I tried poky/scripts/contrib/mkefidisk.sh. It showed promised as 3 primary partitions are created on my SSD instead of just 1 when I used dd to write .hddimg. However, I ran into a number of failures when I ran this script: 1. mktemp fails, as the .sh uses 3 "X" instead of 6 "X" as temporary directory suffix. 2. Failures that look like this: udevd[1140]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda1, 10) failed: No such file or directory". My SSD is mounted as /dev/sda, while at the time I've a USB as boot device to boot the system up. When I activate the SSD image, I have this USB device removed first, so SSD should come up as /dev/sda. Yet, boot fails, with a blank screen. Any idea what might have gone wrong?
