May have solved the issue. Thank you for your help. > What do you get from this? > % bitbake rpi-test-image -e | grep ^IMAGE_FSTYPES
I get: thomasthorne@thorne-ul-dt:~/work/rpi-layer/build$ bitbake rpi-test-image -e | grep ^IMAGE_FSTYPES IMAGE_FSTYPES_DEBUGFS="tar.xz ext3" IMAGE_FSTYPES="tar.xz ext3" Presumably because I have in my local.conf: IMAGE_FSTYPES = "tar.xz ext3" If I update that to be "tar.xz ext3 sdimg" I get error messages such as: $ bitbake rpi-test-image -e | grep ^IMAGE_FSTYPES ERROR: /home/thomasthorne/work/yocto-rpi/meta-raspberrypi/recipes-core/images/rpi-test-image.bb: No IMAGE_CMD defined for IMAGE_FSTYPES entry 'sdimg' - possibly invalid type name or missing support class ERROR: /home/thomasthorne/work/yocto-rpi/meta-raspberrypi/recipes-core/images/rpi-hwup-image.bb: No IMAGE_CMD defined for IMAGE_FSTYPES entry 'sdimg' - possibly invalid type name or missing support class ERROR: /home/thomasthorne/work/yocto-rpi/meta-raspberrypi/recipes-core/images/rpi-basic-image.bb: No IMAGE_CMD defined for IMAGE_FSTYPES entry 'sdimg' - possibly invalid type name or missing support class ERROR: /home/thomasthorne/work/rpi-layer/meta-rpi/images/qt5-basic-image.bb: No IMAGE_CMD defined for IMAGE_FSTYPES entry 'sdimg' - possibly invalid type name or missing support class ERROR: /home/thomasthorne/work/rpi-layer/meta-rpi/images/console-image.bb: No IMAGE_CMD defined for IMAGE_FSTYPES entry 'sdimg' - possibly invalid type name or missing support class ERROR: Failed to parse recipe: /home/thomasthorne/work/yocto-rpi/meta-raspberrypi/recipes-core/images/rpi-hwup-image.bb ERROR: /home/thomasthorne/work/rpi-layer/meta-rpi/images/audio-image.bb: No IMAGE_CMD defined for IMAGE_FSTYPES entry 'sdimg' - possibly invalid type name or missing support class ERROR: /home/thomasthorne/work/rpi-layer/meta-rpi/images/qt5-image.bb: No IMAGE_CMD defined for IMAGE_FSTYPES entry 'sdimg' - possibly invalid type name or missing support class > If it doesn't say (at least) > IMAGE_FSTYPES="tar.bz2 ext3 rpi-sdimg" > then try making those settings in your local.conf That might help. I seem to now get: $ bitbake rpi-test-image -e | grep ^IMAGE_FSTYPES IMAGE_FSTYPES_DEBUGFS="tar.xz ext3 rpi-sdimg" IMAGE_FSTYPES="tar.xz ext3 rpi-sdimg" So the system is happy with the rpi-sdimg but not sdimg on its own. Now when I perform `$ bitbake rpi-test-image` I get a few warnings about license files and then the baking seems to fail with an error about "dd: failed to open '/rpi-test-image-raspberrypi3-20161103111232.rootfs.rpi-sdimg': Permission denied". That is documented as do_image_rpi_sdimg failed with oe-core in krogoth branch https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/issues/30 for the meta-raspberrypi layer. That error is resolved on a krogoth specific branch for the meta-raspberrypi later. Checking out that branch instead of master allows the SD card image creation to succeed. I can now see sdimg files: $ ls tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi3/*.rpi-sdimg tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi3/rpi-test-image-raspberrypi3-20161103113408.rootfs.rpi-sdimg tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi3/rpi-test-image-raspberrypi3.rpi-sdimg Once again thank you for your assistance. If you use the Raspberry Pi StackExchange site, please add your suggestion of including rpi-sdimg as an answer to http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/57155/how-do-i-used-yocto-to-build-an-sdcard-image-for-my-raspberry-pi-3-model-b If you do not use that site then I will add an answer with an attribution to you & this list later today.
