Hi. I am working with a project that has a custom image type, "sdimg". The image works fine but it is when I try to apply CONVERSION_CMDs that I see some interesting things.
The image output is: ${IMGDEPLOYDIR}/${IMAGE_NAME}.$suffix There is also a soft-link: ln -sfn "${IMAGE_NAME}.$suffix" "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${IMAGE_BASENAME}-${MACHINE}.$suffix" Now the interesting part comes when I try this: IMAGE_FSTYPES += "sdimg.gz" This results in a empty gz file, but I already know why and that is because the "normal" image does not contain IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX in the output name, on which the CONVERSION_CMDs rely on [1]. So instead of changing the image name I was hoping that this should work (default is ".rootfs" in image_types.bbclass): IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX_sdimg = "" But above only partly works. It will generate a proper "gz" version of "sdimg" but it fails to create a soft-link, that is ${IMAGE_BASENAME}-${MACHINE}.sdimg.gz -> ${IMAGE_NAME}.sdimg.gz. And I have traced down on why. It is because image.bbclass still reads IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX as ".rootfs" in create_symlinks[2] even though I have set it to something else for my specific image type (override). I have a couple of workarounds for this already but still wanted to report this and see what the community thinks about this. I would expect what I am trying to do, to work. That is to set IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX to empty for the custom image. But you might be of another opinion.
