Right, and it's not obvious to me what's wrong either - I'll need to build an image and try it myself. It would be useful to reproduce using the same build artifacts i.e. uhd-dev-image, so if possible could you provide the layers/layer information you used?
Philip, what version of oe-core are you using? I'm sure I've seen this before in the past.
uhd-dev-image is in meta-sdr at: https://github.com/balister/meta-sdr I'll run a core-image and try that. I am running a very recent oe-core: commit 01968e9244d0cf3deb1ec5cfb8e562d3b364add6 Author: Cristian Iorga <cristian.iorga@intel.com> Date: Fri Jun 20 18:42:20 2014 +0300

So the problem is that there isn't an iot-devkit wic source plugin in oe-core - this was a special plugin for the iot-devkit distro if I remember. If there was an error message (and there will be shortly - I'll be working on this immediately), it would say something like, "The 'iot-devkit' source plugin specified as the --source of content for the /boot partitition, doesn't exist. You should either add a source plugin with that name (see 'wic help plugins' for details on how to do that) or reference an existing plugin in your kickstart file (see 'wic help kickstart' for information on how to list and use available source plugins from your .wks file). Obviously the documentation mentioned above doesn't exist in that form - I need to add some new sections to the in-tool documentation for that. The closest we have right now on how to add plugins is here: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2014-February/089164.html And for figuring out which plugins are available, the easiest way is to look at the implementation of the existing 'canned images' which you can list using 'wic list images'. The location of the canned images listed there is scripts/lib/image/canned-wks. From those, the current set of --sources available in oe-core are: bootimg-pcbios, bootimg-efi and rootfs. There's some documentation about the canned images and other things here, which is out-of-date and really needs to be incorporated into the in-tool documentation and updated along with the tool. http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5.2/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#creating-partitioned-images
