fwup meta layer

This is a Yocto meta layer for building fwup into Yocto projects.

Dependencies:

This layer depends on:

URI: https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git layers: meta-oe branch: master

Usage

For conf/bblayers.conf you have to add

BBLAYERS ?= " \
   ...
  path_to_source/sources/meta-fwup \
  "

There are two main use cases:

One is to add IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "fwup" in conf/local.conf and run bitbake core-image-minimal to get an image with fwup support.

The second one is to add the following configuration in conf/local.conf:

# Add image_types_fwup to the system
IMAGE_CLASSES += "image_types_fwup"

# Declare that we want to make fwup images
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "fwup"

# It's mandatory to define a fwup config file format
FWUP_FILE = "sdimg-raspberrypi0-wifi.fwup"

When running bitbake core-image-minimal a .fw image will be created at tmp/deploy/image/<MACHINE NAME>/core-image-minimal-<MACHINE NAME>.rootfs.fw
