Subject: [DistroKit] [PATCH v3 5/6] images: remove qemu size hack
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 11:05:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231020090519.3320460-5-rhi@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231020090519.3320460-1-rhi@pengutronix.de>
genimage knows about the 'size' option for images to fill the image to a
certain size, and since genimage v14 it supports the 'fill' option to
write all zeroes at the end of the image and not cut them off to
optimise the image size. Use this to blow up the images that are used
with qemu to the next power of two so qemu can work with them, and
remove our invisible-partition-at-the-end hack.
Since the first MiB (when using 1 MiB alignment) is occupied by the
partition table, and the first partition only starts at offset 1 MiB,
the data partition now no longer fits into the available space. Set it
to 'autoresize' so that genimage computes the size to fill the remaining
space in the image.
