Linux image "/usr/local/" folder is empty

[nataut]

Hello everyone

The "bitbake <my_recipe>" process ends without errors but the "/usr/local/" folder of the image is empty (there are no ST demo folders and no "weston-start-at-startup" folder). Why?

Thanks

Hi @nataut ,
What is the image you compiled ? Because here you tell me about a bitbake recipe compilation, but do you compile the complete image provided by ST ? Or did you make your own image ?

Whatever, you have to know that everything installed inside /usr/local in Yocto is overwritten by the userfs recipe.

To take an example, I invite you to take a look at /meta-st/meta-st-stm32mp/recipes-st/images/st-image-userfs.bb. I think it will help you to understand how to manage your userfs part with Yocto.

Kind regards,
Erwan.

Hello @Erwan SZYMANSKI 

I'm talking about a Yocto image with bsp openstlinux-4.19-thud. Until now those folders were always created. I haven't changed anything in the meta-st layer. In the last build I only changed my own device tree.What can be the reason? What should I check?

Many thanks

Regards

Hello @nataut ,
ST does not support nor openstlinux-4.19 or openstlinux-5.4 anymore. I highly advice you to upgrade your OSTL version to 4.1 to get support.

Kind regards,
Erwan.

Hello @Erwan SZYMANSKI 

It is difficult for me to update the openstlinux version. 

I think my question is a general one that applies to the other versions as well.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

@nataut ,

Do you build st-image-weston as your complete image ?

Kind regards,
Erwan.

@Erwan SZYMANSKI 

Thank you for your availability. I cleaned and rebuild the yocto image and now the "/usr/local" folders are present.

Many thanks
