    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.
