Hi Paul, Rodger, thanks. Strangely, log.do_rootfs says:
NOTE: The image creation groups are: [['ext3', 'tar'], ['sdcard']] and NOTE: Running image creation script for sdcard: .../tmp/work/mymachine-poky-linux-gnuabi/my-image/1.0-r0/temp/create_image.sdcard ... and NOTE: Creating symlinks for sdcard image ... But nothing between the last two, as if the output from "create_image.sdcard" is not being captured after all. That script is present, and appears to contain everything from my bbclass. The xxxx.rootfs.sdcard is being created in deploy/images, albeit with bogus contents (which is why I want to debug the script), so I have every reason to think that img_creation_func() is indeed being called. However, not even a simple "echo" at the start of img_creation_func() leaves anything visible in log.do_rootfs. I guess either I'm still doing something wrong, or the problem with "bbnote", etc., is not just confined to the UI. I'm using dizzy, btw.

You should see output printed here in log.do_rootfs for the image you are building. In case you're unaware, you can find this in the directory pointed to by the T variable for the recipe, the following command will show this to you: bitbake -e your-imagename | grep ^T= As an aside, we do want to change the bbwarn/bbnote/bberror etc. shell functions to output to the UI just like the python equivalents do, it's a known issue that they do not. There's a bug open for that (assigned to me as it happens): https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5275 I should really get that one sorted out for the next release.
