Description
Currently we have varied selection of image types that are built. An analysis of supported targets show:
r-car-m3-starter-kit/r-car-h3-starter-kit
IMAGE_FSTYPES="tar.gz tar.bz2 ext4"
qemux86-64
IMAGE_FSTYPES=" tar.bz2 ext4"
minnowboard
IMAGE_FSTYPES="live wic"
raspberrypi2/raspberrypi3
IMAGE_FSTYPES="tar.bz2 ext3 rpi-sdimg"
We gain a couple of things by optimizing which images to generate:
- Faster build times as we do not generate images types that are not used
- Storage optimizations in CI pipelines which store build artifacts
- An unified approach across multiple targets
The suggested optimizations are:
r-car-m3-starter-kit/r-car-h3-starter-kit (reference)
IMAGE_FSTYPES="wic.gz"
qemux86-64
IMAGE_FSTYPES=" ext4"
minnowboard
IMAGE_FSTYPES="wic.gz"
raspberrypi2/raspberrypi3 (wks file provided in meta-raspberrypi)
IMAGE_FSTYPES="wic.gz"
This basically means that we try to "standardize" on the WIC format where possible.
