2015-07-02wic: Add --uuid partition optionEd Bartosh1
Added --uuid option to the configuration of wks parser. This option specifies partition UUID. The code to process it is already in place. It was implemented for --use-uuid option. Signed-off-by: Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh@linux.intel.com>
2015-06-26wic: Add --compress-with command line optionEd Bartosh1
Added -c/--compress-with command line option to 'wic create' subcommand. This option is used to specify compressor utility to compress the image produced by wic. gzip, bzip2 and xz compressors are supported in this implementation. Signed-off-by: Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh@linux.intel.com>
2015-06-23wic: removed unused command line optionEd Bartosh1
Removed -i/--infile wic command line option. Removed properties_file and properties arguments of wic_create function. Signed-off-by: Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh@linux.intel.com>
2015-06-23wic: code cleanup: superfluous-parensEd Bartosh1
Removed unncecessary parents after 'if' 'del' and 'print' keywords. Fixed pyling warning: Unnecessary parens after 'xxx' keyword Signed-off-by: Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh@linux.intel.com>
2015-06-23wic: Return error code when wic fails to invoke commandEd Bartosh1
Return 1 if command doesn't exist or wic is called without any commmand. Return result of invoke_command as wic return code. Added tests for unsupported command and no command. Fixed typo in test case test02_createhelp spotted by this fix. [YOCTO #7856] Signed-off-by: Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh@linux.intel.com>
2015-06-23wic: Integrated plugin docstrings into 'wic help plugins' outputEd Bartosh1
Added mechanism to show docstrings of plugin classes as a part of plugins help page. For missing plugins the following warning message is shown: <class '<plugin class spec>'> is missing docstring.

2015-06-23wic: Document creation of empty partitionEd Bartosh1
Added short explanation of how to create empty pattition to the 'wic help kickstart' output. [YOCTO #7131] Signed-off-by: Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com>
2015-06-11wic: Add help for --part-type and --use-uuid optionsEd Bartosh1
Added help for two wks partition options specific to GUID partition table and globally unique identificators (GUID). Signed-off-by: Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com>
2015-04-08wic: Implement --build-rootfs command line optionEd Bartosh1
-f/--build-rootfs option makes wic to run bitbake <image> to produce rootfs. This option requires image name to be specified with -e/--image-name. Signed-off-by: Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2015-02-14wic: allow to configure overhead factor per partitionAlexandre Belloni1
Introduce a new option --overhead-factor to replace IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com>
2015-02-14wic: allow to configure extra space per partitionAlexandre Belloni1
Introduce a new option --extra-space instead of using IMAGE_EXTRA_SPACE. This is useful for boot partitions where the extra space is often useless or for huge partition where 10MiB may not be enough. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com>
2015-02-14wic: allow creation of partitions not in tableAlexandre Belloni1
For some architectures it is necessary to reserve space on disk without it being present in the partition table. For example, u-boot on i.mx is placed at an offset of 1kB on the sdcard. While it would be possible to create a partition at that offset and place u-boot there, it would then be necessary to update the default u-boot environment to use partition 2 on the mmc instead of partition 1.

2015-02-07wic: use kB for the partitions sizeAlexandre Belloni1
Use kB instead of MB for the partition size to get a better granularity. This is needed on some SoC (i.mx, omap) where it is necessary to create partitions as small as 64kB. Keep the backward compatibility by assuming MB when no unit is provided.

2014-10-30wic: Remove special-case bootimg_dirTom Zanussi1
The first iterations of wic very shortsightedly catered to two specific use-cases and added special-purpose params for those cases so that they could be directly given their corresponding boot artifacts. (hdddir and staging_data_dir). As more use-cases are added, it becomes rather obvious that such a scheme doens't scale, and additionally causes confusion for plugin writers. This removes those special cases and states explicitly in the help text that plugins are responsible for locating their own boot artifacts.

2014-10-30wic: Update the help text to include -D (--debug)Tom Zanussi1
The --debug option is missing from the wic help text; this adds it and at the same time rearranges the usage into a more logical arrangement. Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2014-08-11wic: Rename /mic to /wicTom Zanussi1
As well as any other stray instances of mic in the codebase that can be removed. We don't really need to carry around legacy naming, and the history is in git. Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
2014-08-11wic: Update 'Background and Motivation' help sectionTom Zanussi1

2013-10-01wic: Initial code for wic (OpenEmbedded Image Creator)Tom Zanussi1
Initial implementation of the 'wic' command. The 'wic' command generates partitioned images from existing OpenEmbedded build artifacts. Image generation is driven by partitioning commands contained in an 'Openembedded kickstart' (.wks) file specified either directly on the command-line or as one of a selection of canned .wks files (see 'wic list images'). When applied to a given set of build artifacts, the result is an image or set of images that can be directly written onto media and used on a particular system. 'wic' is based loosely on the 'mic' (Meego Image Creator) framework, but heavily modified to make direct use of OpenEmbedded build artifacts instead of package installation and configuration, things already incorporated int the OE artifacts. The name 'wic' comes from 'oeic' with the 'oe' diphthong promoted to the letter 'w', because 'oeic' is impossible to remember or pronounce. This covers the mechanics of invoking and providing help for the command and sub-commands; it contains hooks for future commits to connect with the actual functionality, once implemented. Help is integrated into the 'wic' command - see that for details on usage.
