Description zumeng.chen@windriver.com 2017-03-09 03:23:50 UTC 
Some board(Like Xilinx) only SUPPORTs FAT16 when it reads bootloader from MMC card, so the first partition should be formatted as FAT16 when yoctoproject create WIC image, but unlucky, it seems fat(Or fat16) is not identified by WIC script for now, and vfat will be created as "WIN95 FAT32" as follows:

part /boot --source bootimg-partition --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=vfat --label boot --active --align 4 --size 16


FAT16 Expected like:

part /boot --source bootimg-partition --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=fat --label boot --active --align 4 --size 16
