I updated my imx-test.wks file, I replaced rootfs1 and rootfs2 by my fsl-image
# short-description: Create SD card image with a boot partition and two rootfs
# long-description:
# Create an image that can be written onto a SD card using dd for use
# with i.MX SoC family
# It uses u-boot
#
# The disk layout used is:
# - --------- --------- ------------ ------------ -----------
# | | u-boot | /boot | rootfs 1 | rootfs 2 | data |
# - --------- --------- ------------ ------------ -----------
# ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
# | | | | |
# 0 1kiB 4MiB 4MiB + 8MiB 4MiB + 8Mib + rootfs 1 + rootfs 2 + data IMAGE_EXTRA_SPACE (default 10MiB)

part u-boot --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=u-boot-imx6ulevk.img" --ondisk mmcblk --no-table --align 1
part /boot --source bootimg-partition --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=vfat --label boot --active --align 4096 --size 8M --extra-space 0
part / --source rootfs --rootfs-dir=fsl-image --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label platform --align 4096
part /rescue --source rootfs --rootfs-dir=fsl-image --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label secondary --align 4096
wic create imx-test.wks -e fsl-image
Checking basic build environment...
Done.
Creating image(s)...
Info: The new image(s) can be found here:
/var/tmp/wic/build/imx-test-201601291301-mmcblk.direct
The following build artifacts were used to create the image(s):
ROOTFS_DIR: build-imx6ulevk/tmp/work/imx6ulevk-poky-linux-gnueabi/fsl-image/1.0-r0/rootfs
ROOTFS_DIR["/rescue"]: build-imx6ulevk/tmp/work/imx6ulevk-poky-linux-gnueabi/fsl-image/1.0-r0/rootfs
BOOTIMG_DIR:
KERNEL_DIR: build-imx6ulevk/tmp/deploy/images/imx6ulevk
NATIVE_SYSROOT: build-imx6ulevk/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux
The image(s) were created using OE kickstart file:
then I write the image to my sdcard with:
dd if=imx-test-201601291200-mmcblk.direct of=sdb bs=4M && sync
something is booting from that sd image. Is this the way to go? some
further hints or corrections? how do I define the partition size?
best regards,
Oliver
