receipt.bb can't install into /usr/local in latest V4.0.x OpenSTLinux

[MWoło.2]

Hi,

I have a problem with installing any directory or any files into /usr/local folder.

Here my_receipt.bb

DESCRIPTION = "My receipt"
LICENSE = "BSD-3-Clause"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COREBASE}/meta/files/common-licenses/BSD-3-Clause;md5=550794465ba0ec5312d6919e203a55f9"
 
SRC_URI = "file://reset_led.sh "
 
S = "${WORKDIR}"
 
do_configure[noexec] = "1"
do_compile[noexec] = "1"
 
do_install() {
    install -d ${D}${prefix}/local/reset-led
    install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/reset_led.sh ${D}${prefix}/local/reset-led/
}
 
FILES:${PN} += "${prefix}/local/reset-led/"

In OpenSTLinx, those folders and files go to st-image-userfs...tar.xz.

In /usr/local I can see only demos etc. folders and directories.

The compilation is going well without any errors or warnings. What was missed, and where is the problem?

Hello @Michał Wołowik​ ,

Did you already compare with the /layers/meta-st/meta-st-stm32mp/recipes-extended/linux-examples/linux-examples-stm32mp1 bitbake file ?

Let me know if you understand your issue with the upper file that do the same thing as what you are looking for.

For now I am building a yocto image with your example to try to reproduce.

Kind regards,

Erwan.

Hi Erwan,

yes, I based on linux-examples-stm32mp1. The problem is that no folder reset-led is created into /usr/local. I also try to add a folder in for instance into /etc/systemd/system and working as it should. The problem is only with /usr/local. I predict a problem with userfs partition due it is the mounting point for /usr/local.

Thanks for the help.

Hi @Michał Wołowik​ ,

Yes understood, indeed this is a userfs mounting point issue.

What is happening here is that you tell the weston image to install your package in /usr/local.

However, we also have a userfs image that aims to install everything in this folder, so a complete clean is made before.

What you have to do is to tell this userfs image to install your package.

It is done in the following file: layers/meta-st/meta-st-stm32mp/recipes-st/images/st-image-userfs.bb

Then, modify the file to add your "my-receipt" package.

SUMMARY = "STM32MP userfs Image"
LICENSE = "MIT"
 
include recipes-st/images/st-image-partitions.inc
 
# Define to null ROOTFS_MAXSIZE
IMAGE_ROOTFS_MAXSIZE = ""
 
# Add specific package for our image:
PACKAGE_INSTALL += " \
    ${@bb.utils.contains('MACHINE_FEATURES', 'm4copro', 'm4projects-stm32mp1-userfs', '', d)} \
    linux-examples-stm32mp1-userfs \
    my_receipt \
    "
 
# Add demo application described on specific packagegroup
PACKAGE_INSTALL += " \
    packagegroup-st-demo \
    "

Hope that it will help you.

Kind regards,

Erwan.
