Jason Wessel 351a10ccd6 wic: Add partition type for msdos partition tables ... In order to create a msdos partition table disk image that can auto expand after the image is copied to an SD card, wic needs the ability to have a primary partition as the last entry. The desired use case is to be able to create an A/B update partition image scheme with a /var volume that can be auto expanded to the remainder of the SD card at run time. The typical .wks file will look similar to the following: bootloader --ptable msdos part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=u-boot.imx" \ --ondisk mmcblk --no-table --align 1 --size 1 part /boot --source bootimg-partition \ --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=vfat --label boot --active --align 4 --size 16 part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6_boot.otaimg" \ --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label otaboot --align 4 --type logical part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6.otaimg" \ --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label otaroot --align 4 --type logical part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6_boot.otaimg" \ --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label otaboot_b --align 4 --type logical part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6.otaimg" \ --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label otaroot_b --align 4 --type logical part /var --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6_var.otaimg" \ --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label fluxdata --align 4 Without the patch applied, wic will generate an SD card image that looks like: Disk boot.img: 890940s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 2056s 48001s 45946s primary fat16 lba 2 48008s 132467s 84460s primary ext4 3 132472s 454467s 321996s primary ext4 4 454471s 890939s 436469s extended lba 5 454472s 538931s 84460s logical ext4 6 538936s 860931s 321996s logical ext4 7 860936s 890939s 30004s logical ext4 boot With the patch applied a primary partition can be created at the end of the image which can be expanded to fill the free space on the media where the image has been copied, which looks like: Disk boot.img: 890940s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 2056s 48001s 45946s primary fat16 lba 2 48007s 860931s 812925s extended lba 5 48008s 132467s 84460s logical ext4 6 132472s 454467s 321996s logical ext4 7 454472s 538931s 84460s logical ext4 8 538936s 860931s 321996s logical ext4 3 860936s 890939s 30004s primary ext4 boot (From OE-Core rev: 56add7cc547e0113cdf980579d1421b14cc233e5) Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>		2019-08-12 16:23:57 +01:00
