[yocto] image-vmdk with genericx86

[Takashi Matsuzawa]

Hello, Yocto.


Should it be possible to simply change image class of genericx86 from xxxx.hddimg to xxxx.hdddirect?


I have been successfully building genericx86 image (that is image-live.bbclass based), and now trying to build it with directdisk (xxxx.hdddirect).

I thought it would be simpler to use pre-existing imageclass, so I tried following after finding image-vmdk.bbclass inherits boot-directdisk.

Currently my build is based on Yocto 1.8 (fido).


(in my local.conf)

IMAGE_FSTYPES_remove = " live"

IMAGE_FSTYPES_append = " vmdk"

But this caused following error.

I am currently looking into the class files to find the cause of error, but anyway, this should work?
