Hi Riko,

Sorry for this confusion.

You can see used wks file

Sorry for the confusion. You can read about wic and wks in the
documentation: 

To understand which wks file was used to build your .wic image you can
run this command: bitbake -e <your image> | grep ^WKS_FILE=

> what layers do you want to know?
all of them :)

Please, show me the output of 'cat conf/bblayers.conf'

looks like you're using meta-xfce layer.

You can mount your boot partition and see it there. Something like this:

# kpartx -va ./tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/core-image-minimal-qemux86-64.wic
add map loop2p1 (254:3): 0 46896 linear /dev/loop2 2048
add map loop2p2 (254:4): 0 49568 linear /dev/loop2 49152

# mount /dev/mapper/loop2p1 /mnt/

# cat /mnt/syslinux.cfg
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 0

ALLOWOPTIONS 1
SERIAL 0 115200

DEFAULT boot
LABEL boot
KERNEL /vmlinuz
APPEND label=boot root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rootwait rootfstype=ext4
video=vesafb vga=0x318 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8


Note, that your image may have different bootloader.
