    <thetext>currently image-live depends on syslinux, but syslinux only for x86.
even I set IMAGE_FIREATURE:=&quot;efi&quot;, and use grub-efi, the syslinux is still there as depends.

after some change, the mkisofs still need isolinux.bin.

for short: we can&apos;t generate iso/live/hddimage for aarch64.

I found:
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/patch_v3_image_live_add/102896781

but that patch is rejected.</thetext>

    <thetext>Somewhat related is https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13263 about replacing cdrecord with xorriso.  There&apos;s also discussion about moving the live/hddimg/iso type out of core because it&apos;s such a niche case.

Can you explain your use-case? Are you making actual physical CDs to boot on aarch64, or using live images on USB sticks?</thetext>

    <thetext>the hdd image is like binary data, that is the reason I don&apos;t want to use.
In my opinion, the iso is more friendly to user than hdd image.</thetext>

    <thetext>How are these users booting your images? If it&apos;s anything apart from a physical CD then ISO images are massively overcomplicated.</thetext>

    <thetext>But I&apos;m not asking how ubuntu users are using aarch64 ISOs, I&apos;m asking how _you_ are.  Because we want to solve real problems, not hypothetical ones.</thetext>

    <thetext>I think this has been fixed with oe-core 4ea24276ad3b6cf3d63a839f3c5fbe697ccd28cd &quot;support disable isohybrid for EFI-only boot&quot;.</thetext>
