Ignore that, I deleted the directory and tried again and it is OK now! -Andy.

I have been using the default one (sdimage-bootpart.wks)?This depends on the wic (.wks) file you are using. I have created a “wic” directory in my custom layer and copied sdimage-bootpart.wks into it as sdimage-project.wks without making any changes but “wic list image” throws an error with the new .wks file:Use --exclude-path and --rootfs-dir flags in the .wks file. UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 37: invalid start byte -Andy.

You can look at my example, where I extract one subdir from rootfs (/storage in this case) on a separate partition. https://github.com/3mdeb/meta-rte/blob/master/wic/sunxi-mmc-spl.wks The rootfs parts should be named somewhere, like in distro config: https://github.com/3mdeb/meta-rte/blob/master/conf/distro/rte.conf#L50

Hello, I am working on a custom platform where U-Boot will be programmed into an SPI NOR flash device and the ext4 file systems will be in a removable microSD card. The Linux kernel itself will be stored in the /boot directory of the root file system. The customer wants the (16GB) microSD card formatted as 1GB to mount at / and the remaining 15GB mounted as /home. In the recipe for my image I have defined the following to try to create a suitable image for writing to the microSD card: IMAGE_FSTYPES_append = " wic" IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE = “1048576” The image file that is being created is bigger than 1GB even though the root file system is only a little over 450MB. Looking at the contents of what gets written to the microSD card this looks as though it is, in part, because it also includes the ~20MB “boot” partition containing the boot files. A couple of questions… How do I stop the wic generation process including the FAT formatted “boot” partition? What is the best strategy for partitioning / formatting / mounting the second partition as /home? Should it be part of the image build process or a one-time task run at first boot? -Andy.
