I still need to figure out, how to produce both image types from one recipe. Lets imagine I went through these steps. 1. I set up the recipe so that the tar.bz2 and cpio.gz images are generated. IMAGE_FSTYPES = "tar.bz2 cpio.gz" inherit core-image The tar is just for development debugging and the cpio.gz is packed into a FIT image that goes into production. 2. After some unspecified time a need arose to produce also the cpio.gz.u-boot image that can be loaded manually in U-Boot during development. I changed the recipe like this: IMAGE_FSTYPES = "tar.bz2 cpio.gz cpio.gz.u-boot" inherit core-image inherit image_types_uboot From my point of view, the image_types_uboot class is removing the cpio.gz image that was generated by someone else. In my situation it is not "a middle file" as the commit you referenced says. I would understand that the cpio.gz is removed when it is not stated in the IMAGE_FSTYPES variable. From reading the IMAGE_FSTYPES variable documentation a user/developer can never get the idea that some image types can not be generated simultaneously. IMHO a proper behavior would be to generate and preserve all supported image types stated in the IMAGE_FSTYPES variable. Any ideas how to achieve that?
