Hi,
Edit IMAGE_FSTYPES variable:-
Add this line IMAGE_FSTYPES = "${INITRAMFS_FSTYPES}" in machine configuration
file or conf/local.conf file.
By default, INITRAMFS_FSTYPES set to "cpio-gz" in meta/conf/bitbake.conf file.
Thanks and Regards,
Yukatharsani J.

Subject: [yocto] Booting live images (core-image-minimal-initramfs) on ARM
I have created kernel with an initramfs bundled that uses "initramfs-live-boot"
to search for a "root.img" file on any mounted media devices
(/media/*/root.img). I have added some rules to udev to automount a block
device correctly.
However, when I attempt to create the live image, it depends on syslinux, which
isn't available for ARM.
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'syslinux'
ERROR: syslinux was skipped: incompatible with host arm-poky-linux-gnueabi (not
in COMPATIBLE_HOST)
I have the following in my image.
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "live"
Why do we need the syslinux dependency? I have already booted my kernel via
u-boot, so it seems unnecessary. Is there another IMAGE_FSTYPE that is
compatible with the "initramfs-live-boot" package? cramfs? If so, do I need to
change the "init-live.sh" script in "initramfs-live-boot" to support this new
file type?
Thanks,
