Using wic from a Bitbake task

Using wic from a Bitbake task

[Usman, Fahad]

Hello,
Is it possible to invoke 'wic create' command from a bitbake task. As 
currently it is implemented to be run as a standalone tool and if we 
invoke it from a task, the 'bitbake -e' command fails, since more than 
one instances of bitbake cannot be run from a single build directory.

We want to emit an SD card image as part of build artifacts when an 
image recipe is built. And we don't want to use the 
boot-directdisk.bbclass as it's going to be deprecated in favour of wic.

Thanks,
Fahad Usman.

Hello all,

Will it be valuable to create another option (which assume that bitbake is running and get values from variables directly) for wic which we can invoke from the image recipe as part of image creation process.

Not yet, but there's a bug for that:

May I know it’s expected completion date?

Currently marked as "1.9", you'll have to talk to Ed to get anything more
precise than that.

I hope to get it done till the end of August. This bug has the highest
priority, so I'll start working on it as soon as I'm back to wic
development.
