How to change the SDCard Image size

How to change the SDCard Image size

Hello all,

I have a question regarding the image size on yocto build.

When I build a core-image-minimal the size of the image is roughly 30 Mb.

Can somebody tell me how to make it bigger, that it will fit on a 4Gb or
larger Sd-Card?

I know how to do it manually after image creation, but it would be nice to
get a image with the right size.

Thanks in advance

Marc

You can just change the IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE  variable in core-image-minimal to increase it's size (or make your own image and have a larger size in it which is probably more advisable).
The file you're looking for is sources/poky/meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal.bb

Hello Morgan,

you advice works like a charm.

After I set the new value, the image is now 7.6 Gb.

I found another variable IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE. It seems this will 
also upsize the image, but I didn't find it in the configuration files.

But for now it works. Thank you very much

Marc
