Hi,

I am trying to prepare a wic for SD card for factory-flashing the device. For this I have prepared bootloader and initramfs (containing swupdate) on first partition, and I'm planing to store a bunch of swu update files on second one - those files will partition the device's storage and install kernel, bootloader, rootfs and whatever necesary.
To achive this I have already collected all required swu files and I am able to create a package with them to be used further to populate that second partition on SD. The problem starts when I'm trying to create a dependency.
(To simplify, I am testing on beaglebone-yocto machine, and as swu packages using "update-image.bb" from meta-swupdate-boards and created by me simple update of kernel called "update-kernel.bb")
If I add:

DEPENDS = " update-image update-kernel "

I got error:

ERROR: swus-1.0-r0 do_package: The sstate manifest for task 'update-kernel:packagedata' (multilib variant '') could not be found.
The pkgarchs considered were: beaglebone_yocto, cortexa8hf-neon, cortexa8hf-vfp, armv7ahf-neon, armv7ahf-vfp, armv6hf-vfp, armv5ehf-vfp, armv5hf-vfp, allarch, x86_64_x86_64-nativesdk.
But none of these manifests exists:

On the other hand, when I try doing this this way:

do_install[depends] += " update-image:do_swuimage update-kernel:do_swuimage "

I got following  error:

Exception: FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/home/marslo/cooker/bbb/builds/build-beaglebone-console/tmp/sysroots-components/cortexa8hf-neon/libgcc-initial/usr/lib/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/11.3.0/libgcov.a' -> '/home/marslo/cooker/bbb/builds/build-beaglebone-console/tmp/work/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/swus/1.0-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/lib/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/11.3.0/libgcov.a'

My do_install fuction is:
do_install() {
    install -d ${D}/swus
    install -m 0440 ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/update-image-${MACHINE}.swu ${D}/swus/
    install -m 0440 ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/update-kernel-${MACHINE}.swu ${D}/swus/
}
