bitbake core-image-minimal-initramfs

[Yli.8]

I want to configure the TFTP launch, but I can't generate the core-image-least-initramfs system

Hi @昌�?� �?�​ 

Thanks to raise this point.

This is actually an error in the wiki since the default Yocto settings provides initramfs for x86 HOST and not for ARM.

The wiki article will be modified as follow :

To fully boot on a network (kernel and rootfs), the rootfs to use can be defined :

• as initramfs with INITRD command in configuration file (the file uInitrd need to be generated, it is a generic feature not explained in this WIKI).
• or as NFS mounting point with Linux® kernel boot arguments nfsroot[3] added in APPEND command (root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=... ) and NFS server running on the PC[4].

initramfs is only one solution among several for the rootfs.

If it is really the solution you are targeting you can follow any generic tutorial on the web related to uInitrd creation. ( with or without Yocto)

Hope it help,

Olivier
