Description Andreea Brandusa Proca 2013-07-17 11:21:27 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. launch hob
2. select for example qemux86
3. select poky-tiny distro from "Advanced configuration"
4. select a base image, for example core-image-minimal
4. select another machine, for example qemuarm

The base image previously chosen is still selected and the "Build image" button is missing.

I have tested on a local branch with the templates functionality (which is in review now) and it works. I have made some changes on the list of images.
I will wait those patches to be merged and then see if it is reproducing again.

This brings up a whole lot of questions I hadn't thought of:

* Should we provide the "Edit base image" option when poky-tiny is selected as distro?

* Should we allow users to build their custom base images when poky-tiny is selected as distro?

Also, what happens if I select poky-tiny while a base image not compatible with it (such as core-image-sato) is selected? Like so:

1. Select a machine
2. Select core-image-sato
3. Change distro to poky-tiny

Right now, in master, once recipe parsing finishes core-image-minimal appears selected. This is not ideal: we should probably just clear the base image selection whenever recipe parsing happens.

Darren,

We need to fix it in underneath yocto via a blacklist mechanism to list the doesn't make sense base images for hob to use.  What do you think?

THanks

Hi Jessica,

This bug is a graphical interface issue. The issue with blacklisting the images that doesn't make sense is already resolved.
Here is the patch that fixes this:
