Hi,
I am working on creating a yocto distro using standard x86 hardware and an amd Ryzen processor.
Yocto Branch: scarthgap
local.conf:
MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME = "gha_autobuild"
INHERIT += "mender-full"
MENDER_FEATURES_ENABLE:append = " mender-grub mender-image-uefi"
MENDER_FEATURES_DISABLE:append = " mender-uboot mender-image-sd"
MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB_DEFAULT = "16384"
MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE = "/dev/nvme0n1"
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "hddimg mender"
machine.conf: milan.conf « machine « conf « meta-amd-bsp - meta-amd - Layer containing AMD hardware support metadata
My aim is to use the hddimg to create an USB installer.
The build fails with a circular import:
ERROR: Task /workspaces/yocto-distros/build/../meta-distro/recipes-images/images/ap-image.bb:do_bootimg has circular dependency on /workspaces/yocto-distros/build/../meta-distro/recipes-images/images/ap-image.bb:do_image_uefiimg
The culprit:
https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-amd/tree/meta-amd-bsp/conf/machine/common.conf?h=scarthgap#n14
The modified version of the common.conf:
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "wic wic.bmap iso"
WKS_FILES ?= "amd-usbimage.wks"
# Contents of IMAGE_BOOT_FILES are deployed into "amd-usbimage.wks" wic image

INIT_MANAGER = "systemd"

DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = "sysvinit"

But now the folder EFI/BOOT/ folder is not populated and I get this error:

I actually only need the .mender and the .hddimg to create a bootable usb installer.
What would be the path forward ?
Thanks
