<div>Hello.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Though the build successfully completes, but the image does not boot and I believe parameters are not set properly for my image.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I am trying to do is to build xxx.hdddirect image instead of xxx.hddimg for genericx86(, on fido).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As I inspect with '-e' option, I believe, at least the following is wrong.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>> # $SYSLINUX_ROOT [3 operations]</div>
<div>> # set /mnt/ssd2/yocto/dev/wk/x86/wk3/build-root/sources/poky/meta/classes/image-live.bbclass:5</div>
<div>> # "root=/dev/ram0"</div>
<div>> # set? /mnt/ssd2/yocto/dev/wk/x86/wk3/build-root/sources/poky/meta/classes/image-vmdk.bbclass:4</div>
<div>> # "root=/dev/sda2"</div>
<div>> # set? /mnt/ssd2/yocto/dev/wk/x86/wk3/build-root/sources/> poky/meta/classes/boot-directdisk.bbclass:63</div>
<div>> # "root=/dev/sda2"</div>
<div>> # pre-expansion value:</div>
<div>> # "root=/dev/ram0"</div>
<div>> SYSLINUX_ROOT="root=/dev/ram0"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think SYSLINUX_ROOT here is set by image-live.bbclass's value, not by boot-directdisk.bbclass's.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I feel this is strange that in my local.conf, I have explicitly removed 'live' from IMAGE_FSTYPES and added 'vmdk'.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But, in the above, image-live.bbclass seems to be interpreted and affecting the variable expansion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think, the following line in image.bbclass is deciding if it reads image-live.bbclass or not.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>>IMAGE_TYPE_live = "${@build_live(d)}"</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>inherit ${IMAGE_TYPE_live}</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since IMAGE_TYPE_live is set to '' as follows, I believe image-live.bbclass should never interpreted?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>> # $IMAGE_TYPE_live</div>
<div>> # set /mnt/ssd2/yocto/dev/wk/x86/wk3/build-root/sources/poky/meta/classes/image.bbclass:129</div>
<div>> # "${@build_live(d)}"</div>
<div>> IMAGE_TYPE_live=""</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried BBMASK'ing image-live.bbclass, but it still seems to be read.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, I am a bit of stuck here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>

Thank you it worked.
<div>(I should remember '_append' applied after all '=' assignments are done.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After .hdddirect image is successfully created, I am still working on the following.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>i) image does not boot, maybe its boot device path thing...<br>
<div>ii) hddimage, iso images are also generated. I may want to disable generation of these (and leave images types that I need only), so that bitbake completes much earlier.</div>
<div>iii) same can be sade to do_populatesdk it seems to run default. <br>

Instead of the above two, could you use the following line in local.conf and build again ?<br>
<br>
IMAGE_FSTYPES += "vmdk"<br>
<br>
