[yocto] [meta-intel]: Grub file not created after building the image with bitbake -k linux-yocto

[Shubham Kumar]

Hi all,

I'm new to Yocto build environment . I have been following the
documentations to start building my own image with various
customizations. So, my below question may seem very basic to you, for
which I apologize in advance :).

I am working on Intel Galileo Gen2
I cloned the Jethro layer in my local repository, and I also cloned
"meta-intel" layer. First I gave a try on core-image-minimal using wic
tool. The generated image contained the required grub file and The
hardware was successfully able to boot with this image.

After all this, I tried to generate the full Linux image using
"bitbake -k linux-yocto". I added a custom layer just for the purpose
of learning, and also included a few packages to be built like
strace,,tools-sdk,tools-debug,etc. I followed the Yocto documentation
for all this.

It took very less time since the no. of tasks that needed to be run
were comparatively very less as those during core-image-minimal.I did
all this in a different build directory from the one I used for
core-image-minimal. The images were then created in
tmp/deploy/images/intel-quark.

But this folder didn't contain any Grub file. Why was this grub file
not created during this image creation? Did I miss anything in the
steps followed??
Waiting for your responses .

Thanks,
