And part of the goal of the tiny image is to remain as small as possible. The intent of the tiny image is to support the initial wakeup efforts. During this time the various hardware settings are not fully known and so external memory and other things do not work. The initramfs is meant to provide the bare minimal OS needed to fit into the on-chip SRAM to figure out those settings. Once those settings are figured out, we never go back to the tiny image. So what is the need for the mkfs tools in the tiny image? Why not use a bigger image that has these tools in it? > Signed-off-by: Dasnavis Sabiya <sabiya.d@ti.com> > --- > .../packagegroups/packagegroup-arago-initramfs.bb | 9 +++++++++ > 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/meta-arago-distro/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-arago-initramfs.bb b/meta-arago-distro/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-arago-initramfs.bb > index 380cc0e3..10412784 100644 > --- a/meta-arago-distro/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-arago-initramfs.bb > +++ b/meta-arago-distro/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-arago-initramfs.bb > @@ -1,4 +1,13 @@ > > require recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-core-boot.bb > > +ARAGO_FSTOOLS = "\ > + e2fsprogs-mke2fs \ > + dosfstools \ > + " > + > RDEPENDS:${PN}:remove = "grub-efi kernel" > + > +RDEPENDS:${PN}:append = "\ > + ${ARAGO_FSTOOLS} \ > + "

If there is a customer need, they are free to add their own layer to configure their own package-groups or their own images.

Which can be easily network/DFU/JTAG booted and already can create partitions and flash filesystem images. Booting all the way into some minimal Linux and manually creating the filesystem during a flashing/production flow sounds flawed to begin with so we shouldn't encourage it with an image like this.
