Description Eddy Lai 2013-01-23 03:36:10 UTC

I use "Yocto 1.3 + jasperforest BSP", 
have successfully build and boot "core-image-minimal" and "core-image-basic" images, 
but after I tried to build and boot "core-image-lsb-sdk", failed to boot kernel:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have tried to use different size USB flash disk (4GB, 8GB, 16GB), all same result,
ps. the "core-image-lsb-sdk-jasperforest-xx.hddimg" is a 2.4GB image file.

I guess, the big images size may be causing some issue here.

Comment 2 Nitin Kamble 2013-01-23 17:16:41 UTC

Darren, 
   Are you aware of any such issue caused by big image size?
Thanks,
Nitin

Comment 3 Darren Hart 2013-01-23 17:22:55 UTC

There is a bug opened for image sizes over 2 GB with dosfstools (Bug 2525) - I'm not sure if this is the exact issue.

What type of FS was generated? FAT32? Just run "file core-image-lsb-sdk-jasperforest.hddimg".

While this is something that needs to be fixed, I should add that I can't think of a situation where using the LIVE image would make sense for the SDK images - with the obvious exception of the installer of course!


Eddy, could try the recommendation in 2525 and see if that resolves the issue for you?

Comment 4 Tom Zanussi 2013-01-23 17:30:09 UTC

You could also try the mkdiskimage method described here:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/README.hardware

That usually works for me with big images (though never tried one > 2Gb).

Comment 5 Nitin Kamble 2013-01-23 18:01:03 UTC

Thanks Tom & Darren,
  Also can the .iso image generated along with the .hddimg, help here?

Comment 6 Darren Hart 2013-01-23 18:13:40 UTC

Honestly, ISO images need to DIE DIE DIE.IMNSHO.

Closing this as a duplicate of the Bug #2525.
