I added these lines to local.conf: IMAGE_FSTYPES_genericx86 += "live" NOISO_genericx86 = "0" When I try to build core-image-base I get this error: ERROR: INITRD_IMAGE_LIVE core-image-minimal-initramfs cannot use image live, hddimg or iso. ERROR: Check IMAGE_FSTYPES and INITRAMFS_FSTYPES settings. ERROR: Failed to parse recipe: /local/poky-cutting-edge/meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal-initramfs.bb I'm using a recent Poky checkout (d53413d3a8444c38a83ea37867c8af7754d8e702) Am I just doing something wrong here? I was following this section of the mega-manual: 26.56. image-live.bbclass¶ The image-live class supports building "live" images. Normally, you do not use this class directly. Instead, you add "live" to IMAGE_FSTYPES. For example, if you were building an ISO image, you would add "live" to IMAGE_FSTYPES, set the NOISO variable to "0" and the build system would use the image-live class to build the ISO image. I don't have any available hardware for this testing, so I thought I'd use VirtualBox. Is this a reasonable approach? I want to use a live ISO so I get a writable file system. I tried just using the .hddimage but that doesn't boot with VirtualBox :-( To be clear, along with the additions above in local.conf, I tried: $ MACHINE=genericx86 bitbake core-image-base Thanks for any ideas -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
