[meta-intel] swupdate yocto

[Mohammad, Jamal M]

I modified EFI_PROVIDER to "grub-efi" for intel-core-i7 machine and generated a root filesystem ( ext4 )

Now I need to create an additional partition to keep this initrd image and then modify the grub configuration to jump into this.

Do you have any idea on this where I have to modify the partition script in yocto..

Regards,
Jamal

For swupdate support, please see their google group:

It sounds like you need to understand swupdate better so that you can utilize their GRUB or EFI Boot Guard support.

Cheers,
