a minor nit but i used meta-yocto to configure for a beagle and used
bitbake-env to display the default value of IMAGE_FSTYPES:
$ bitbake-env IMAGE_FSTYPES
IMAGE_FSTYPES=" tar.bz2 jffs2"
$
so far, so good. but then i simply *assigned* (not added) in
local.conf:
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "vmdk"
and checked again ... ???
$ bitbake-env IMAGE_FSTYPES
IMAGE_FSTYPES="vmdk tar.bz2 jffs2"
$
um ... huh? which is explained by the following inconsistent
collection of assignments in poky:
$ grep -r "IMAGE_FSTYPES.*=" *
meta/conf/bitbake.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "tar.gz"
meta/conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc:IMAGE_FSTYPES += "ext3 cpio.gz live"
meta/conf/machine/include/qemu.inc:IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2 ext3"
meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal-initramfs.bb:IMAGE_FSTYPES = "${INITRAMFS_FSTYPES}"
meta/recipes-core/images/build-appliance-image.bb:IMAGE_FSTYPES = "vmdk"
meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky-tiny.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES = "ext2 cpio.gz"
meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/beagleboard.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2 jffs2"
meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/routerstationpro.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "jffs2 tar.bz2"
meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/atom-pc.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "ext3 cpio.gz live"
scripts/lib/bsp/substrate/target/arch/mips/conf/machine/{{=machine}}.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "jffs2 tar.bz2"
scripts/lib/bsp/substrate/target/arch/arm/conf/machine/{{=machine}}.conf:IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2 jffs2"
$
that appears to be a very confusing mix of "=" and "?=" and "+=".
is that really the effect you were going for?
