In my case I have been tweaking the initramfs and a new image was created but not a corresponding .qemuboot.conf file, which caused some frustration as runqemu was booting the old image.

Is this still a problem on the master branch ? 105377 8 randy.macleod 2026-05-07 14:58:45 +0000 Quan please re-test. 105378 9 tim.orling 2026-05-07 14:59:50 +0000 https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/classes-recipe/qemuboot.bbclass#n130 105692 10 sivakumar.bs 2026-06-01 17:07:26 +0000 Reproduced on current master (linux-yocto 6.18.33, core-image-minimal, qemux86-64). After rebuilding only the kernel (bitbake -c cleansstate linux-yocto), the .qemuboot.conf symlink retained the old timestamp while ext4.zst was updated to a new one. Fix: add do_write_qemuboot_conf[depends] += "${KERNEL_DEPLOY_DEPEND}" KERNEL_DEPLOY_DEPEND is already used by do_build[depends] in image.bbclass for the same reason and handles firmware/baremetal images since it is defined with ?=. v2 patch submitted to openembedded-core mailing list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/patch_v2_qemuboot_bbclass/119596210 105695 11 sivakumar.bs 2026-06-02 11:45:52 +0000 v3 patch submitted fixing the autobuilder failure reported on v2. Root cause: baremetal images inherit qemuboot via baremetal-image.bbclass but do not set KERNEL_DEPLOY_DEPEND, causing a parse error when empty string was passed to [depends]. Fix uses a Python expression to guard against the empty case: do_write_qemuboot_conf[depends] += "${@d.getVar('KERNEL_DEPLOY_DEPEND') or ''}" Tested: - do_write_qemuboot_conf reruns correctly after kernel rebuild on qemux86-64 - 949 recipes parse cleanly with MACHINE=qemuarm, no errors v3 patch: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/patch_v3_qemuboot_bbclass/119609347 105855 12 sivakumar.bs 2026-06-12 09:01:24 +0000 v4 patch submitted fixing the circular dependency reported on v3. Root cause of circular dependency: when INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE=1, linux-yocto:do_deploy depends on the initramfs image completing first, so adding an unconditional kernel deploy dependency on do_write_qemuboot_conf created a cycle back into the initramfs image. Fix skips the kernel deploy dependency when INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE=1: do_write_qemuboot_conf[depends] += "${@ '' if bb.utils.to_boolean(d.getVar('INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE')) else (d.getVar('KERNEL_DEPLOY_DEPEND') or '')}" Tested: - do_write_qemuboot_conf reruns correctly after kernel rebuild on qemux86-64 - 949 recipes parse cleanly with MACHINE=qemuarm, no errors - bitbake -g with INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE=1 confirms no circular dependency https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/patch_v4_qemuboot_bbclass/119770767 105857 13 randy.macleod 2026-06-12 13:49:48 +0000 Thanks for working on this Siva.
