[yocto] Yocto Boot Question

[Raymond Yeung]

I actually resolved my first issue today - the install on SSD from USB thumb drive's .hddimg seemed correct.  There're probably user's prompts on the boot console that I didn't pay attention to at first (I used COM1, which wasn't the boot console).  I'd tried removing thumb drive, and changed boot order to use the SSD, and it worked.


I'd even made some progress on the network-boot client side.  The key steps for me were to switch to UEFI Standard instead of Legacy mode.  Then enabled PXE option ROM Launch.  This would create a few network devices (with IPv4 and IPv6 options) to support PXE.  I now focus on the server side.  Hopefully, I will have some good news to share shortly.


My eval board is based on Intel's Broadwell DE (Camelback Mountain BSP) from Intel.  Machine type is intel-corei7-64.  Hope this help.


Raymond

I also faced a similar issue while installing on Intel machine, switching to other machine I was able to install and boot successfully.. I have not tried network boot option..



Which is the board you are using and what is the machine type?

Hi,



I've successfully booted a BSP using USB thumb drive (.hddimg type).  I've two follow-up questions -



  1.  The BIOS offers "Serial Install" which seems to copy the USB boot image over to SSD.  Would SSD be using the same .hddimg type?  Right now, after the above install, when I switch boot order to try both SSD (0 and 1), booting doesn't seem to work.
  2.  When using network boot option, what image type should I use?



It would be great if details have already been documented somewhere.



Thanks,

Raymond
