In order to use the wic
utility with the
OpenEmbedded Build system, you need to meet the following
requirements:
The Linux distribution on your development host must support the Yocto Project. See the "Supported Linux Distributions" section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual for this list of distributions.
The standard system utilities, such as
cp
, must be installed on your
development host system.
The GNU Parted package must be installed on your development host system.
Have the build artifacts already available.
You must already have created an image using the
Openembedded build system (e.g.
core-image-minimal
.
It might seem redundant to generate an image in order
to create an image using wic
,
but the artifacts are needed and they are generated
with the build system.
You must have sourced one of the build environment
setup scripts (i.e.
oe-init-build-env
or
oe-init-build-env-memres
)
found in the
Build Directory.
