Description
In previous releases of GDP, .sdimg images for Minnowboard have been released. This process
was handled manually via scripting:
'dd if=/dev/zero of="genivi-dev-platform-minnowboard.sdimg" bs=1024 count=1M
sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
sudo losetup /dev/loop0 "genivi-dev-platform-minnowboard.sdimg"
sudo bash ./mkefidisk.sh /dev/loop0 genivi-dev-platform-intel-corei7-64.hddimg /dev/mmcblk0
sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0'
This is not suitable for CI (go.cd) as workers for valid reasons do not have sudo privileges or
the ability to mount.
Currently I'm looking at the use of Wic:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#using-a-providedkickstart_file
I've been able to use the wic template for mkefdisk, to create a dd'able USB image. This needs
some modification (like SD (mmcblk) by default) etc. This template would eventually be
commited to meta-genivi-dev, in a scripts directory.

I've managed to adapt the generic mkefdisk.wks template, currently left with:
part /boot --source bootimg-efi --sourceparams="loader=grub-efi" --ondisk mmcblk0 --label EFI
--active --align 1024
part / --source rootfs --ondisk mmcblk0 --fstype=ext3 --label ROOT --align 1024
part swap --ondisk mmcblk0 --size 379 --label swap --fstype=swap
bootloader --timeout=10 --append="rootwait rootfstype=ext3 console=ttyPCH0,115200
console=tty0 vmalloc=256MB snd-hda-intel.enable_msi=0"
However this and the original template seem to produce a problematic SWAP partition, as each
initial boot of the images produces:
'a start job is running for dev-sda3.device'
After 90 seconds the board reboots and launches GDP as normal. I've taken a look at the
mkefdisk.sh script that is used to flash the mmc with .hddimg as this produces a swap partition
that does not show this behaviour on first boot.

Tom Pollard does this affect only to Minnowboard or to every board?
Comment by Tom Pollard [ 14/Sep/16 ]
Agustin Benito Bethencourt This is aimed at minnowboard only, in terms of release images
Comment by Agustin Benito Bethencourt [ 21/Sep/16 ]
This feature will not be part of the release so Tom Pollard will pick it up afterwards.
Comment by Tom Pollard [ 07/Nov/16 ]
I've not had chance to look at this further, I believe it is still of interest for Genivi to pursue
more consumable images
