Hello. I found hddimg 4GB-1 bye restriction because it creates a file called rootfs.img which is copied into FAT.
That means rootfs.img size must be below FAT max file size... ________________________________ From: Takashi Matsuzawa Sent: Thursday, March 9, 2017 1:51 PM To: yocto@yoctoproject.org Subject: hddimg 4GB limit? Hello, Yocto. I have looked into hddimg file. According to image-live.bbclass, it is hardcoded to maximum 4GB size. But should not this more large? hddimg is generated by mkdosfs -F 32 that means the filesystem capacity is larger than 4GB. I just hit this limit when generating an image that exceeds 4GB size. I think I am look into using hdddirect instead (hopefully it does not have this limit?), but I also want to check if hddimg 4GB limitation has some practical reason (other than above image-live.bbclass checking).
