Yocto post script to move two deployed image files into a folder - yocto

I'm trying to create a recipe that moves two image archives and places them into a directory inside Yocto's deploy directory /tmp/deploy/images. I have already created a new image that simply includes the other two recipes, however I haven't been able to utilize any of the available scripting functions to copy the generated images into a separate folder scheme. I've tried using do_install_append() to simply touch a new file, but to no avail and no warnings/errors are shown inside of the terminal during image creation.
Essentially, the workflow would be as follows inside of my-image.bb
....
require my-1st-image.bb
require my-2nd-image.bb
post_script(){
# rm -rf ${WORKDIR}/images/<machine>/USB
# mkdir ${WORKDIR}/images/<machine>/USB
# cp <my-1st-image.tar.gz> ${WORKDIR}/images/<machine>/USB
# cp <my-2nd-image.tar.gz> ${WORKDIR}/images/<machine>/USB
}

You need to use install
Try the following
post_script() {
install -d ${WORKDIR}/images/<machine>/USB
install -m 0755 <my-1st-image.tar.gz> ${WORKDIR}/images/<machine>/USB
install -m 755 <my-2nd-image.tar.gz> ${WORKDIR}/images/<machine>/USB
}
The first of the 3 install commands above will create a working directory. The other two will copy the files.

What does [rm -rf /] do?

This is basically recursively remove everything from root right?
Would this really delete everything on the device?
Do any operating systems have protections against running this – like a confirmation or something?
Seemed like a better idea to ask than to try.
The rm command means it is applied for removing file-folders based on the file path but as you have specified rm -rf / it tells to remove the files which are part of the root directory in the Linux or Unix based system, but again it will not do anything until and unless you apply the command with sudo access or super user do access with your system password.
Yes this would delete recursively.
Actually their is also a protection:
rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on '/'
rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe
rm -rf is a dangerouse command in linux.if rm -rf run with root privilage it force to delete all files and folders even hidden file and you must install os again. this command has not confirmation question.
As a security measure, you can set rm to always get you approved for the delete operation, it uses the "-i" option whenever you want to delete a file or directory. To make this command permanent, add the following alias to the $ HOME / .bashrc file.
When you run the rm command, it will run with the "-i" option by default. (If you use the "-f" option, these settings will be overwrite)
rm -rf
this code deletes all files on linux (system ,root files include)
this is very dangerous code

FIle is not being copied in WORKDIR from Image recipe in Yocto

I am trying to install a simple file to /etc directory of target rootfs. I am building core-image-sato. "raxy_test" file(in below recipe) is not even being copied in WORKDIR also.
Am I doing anything wrong?
I am able to do same with normal recipe but not with image recipe.
What is the difference between normal and image recipe?
DESCRIPTION = "Image with Sato, a mobile environment and visual style for \
mobile devices. The image supports X11 with a Sato theme, Pimlico \
applications, and contains terminal, editor, and file manager."
IMAGE_FEATURES += "splash package-management x11-base x11-sato ssh-server-dropbear hwcodecs"
LICENSE = "MIT"
inherit core-image
TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK_append = " nativesdk-intltool nativesdk-glib-2.0"
TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK_remove_task-populate-sdk-ext = " nativesdk-intltool nativesdk-glib-2.0"
LICENSE="CLOSED"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM=""
SRC_URI = "\
file://raxy_test \
"
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}
install -m 0755 raxy_test ${D}${sysconfdir}
}
I expect "raxy_test" file to be present in WORKDIR as well as in /etc directory of target.
Any help will really be appreciated, Thanks...!!!
Multiple things:
You use a image recipe (core-image-sato) to add a file in your image. You should use a separate recipe for this modification;
The install is not correct (WORKDIR is not used);
You do not populate the packages (FILES_${PN} not present).
For the separate recipe, create a file (for example myrecipe.bb or whatever you want) in a recipes-* sub directory (you need to place it at the same folder level than other recipes !). I did not test it but I think this can be a base:
DESCRIPTION = "My recipe"
LICENSE="CLOSED"
PR = "r0"
PV = "0.1"
SRC_URI = " file://raxy_test "
# Create package specific skeleton
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/raxy_test ${D}${sysconfdir}/raxy_test
}
# Populate packages
FILES_${PN} = "${sysconfdir}"
You can notice that some things have changed:
The install must include the ${WORKDIR} path:
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/raxy_test ${D}${sysconfdir}
And we need to populate the package:
FILES_${PN} = "${sysconfdir}"
This will add the files in ${sysconfdir} into the package ${PN} (which is by default the recipe name).

How to delete a specific number of files in multiple folders using command prompt (Windows 10)

I have 30 folders, each with about 1700 files in them. I'd like to delete 500 files from each of these folders. What is the best way to do this using command prompt?
This question shows how to empty out files and this question shows how to do it in python but otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a way of deleting a specific number of files.
Let me know if you need any further information, thanks!
It's very easy to do in Linux. So you can download Git for Windows and run Linux commands in Windows. Please try this in a test folder/files first. You can not recover files once deleted.
Let's say you have 3 files (my-file-1.txt, my-file-2.txt, my-file-3.txt) in your directory. Then go to the directory and execute commands.
$ rm -rf my-file-1.txt # remove my-file-1.txt only
$ rm -rf my-file-1.txt my-file-3.txt # remove my-file-1 and 3
$ rm -rf my-file-{1,3}.txt # remove my-file-1 and 3
$ rm -rf *.txt # remove all txt files
$ rm -rf my-file-*.txt # remove all txt files begin with my-file

>go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
the above command did not give any output, nor an error message
bra run
it says -bash: bra: command not found
i tried to look for the resolution, but i could not find it. Please help
Recompile backend on source change
To rebuild on source change (requires that you executed godep restore)
go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
bra run
Running Grafana Locally
You can run a local instance of Grafana by running:
./bin/grafana-server
You must have missed this step!
go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
You can install Grafana using home brew.
brew update
brew install grafana
This sounds like an issue where Go is just being installed to build something else (for me, it was Grafana). In which case $GOPATH/bin is not in your PATH. $GOPATH/bin/bra should work. It did for me.
I suggest you installing Grafana inside Docker. If you install Docker for Mac, the GUI (Kitematic) will allow you to install grafana as easily as one click. You will just need to create a new container with "+ New" button, search grafana through the exisiting image lists and click "Create"
Docker will download grafana and it will appear in the left sidebar:

Source RPM Can't Find Files

I'm trying to build an RPM of a node.js project I'm working on. The project's code is entirely contained in one directory and its subdirectories. Here's part of my build script:
Put everything in the SOURCES directory, except the node_modules
echo "Copying sources..."
cd $DIR/dashboard
tar -zcf $DIR/rpmbuild/SOURCES/project-$VERSION.tgz . --exclude=node_modules > /dev/null
cd $DIR
# Create the spec file
touch $DIR/rpmbuild/SPECS/specfile
# write to it
cat >$DIR/rpmbuild/SPECS/specfile <<EOL

%prep
echo "in prep"
echo $(ls -al)
%setup -c
npm install
yes | ./compile_all.sh
mv app/index.html app/index_big.html
mv app/index_small.html app/index.html
%build
echo "Nothing to build!"
%install
mkdir -p /opt/project
mv -r ./ /opt/project
ln -s /opt/project/server_start /usr/local/bin
ln -s /opt/project/server_stop /usr/local/bin
%files
$DIR/rpmbuild/SOURCES
$DIR/rpmbuild/SPECS
EOL
HOME=`pwd` rpmbuild -bs $DIR/rpmbuild/SPECS/specfile
The compile_all.sh script just minifies the html, css, and javascript and concatenates them. index_small.html uses the smaller versions. $DIR points to the location of the script, which is one directory above the project code.
The script does indeed generate the source rpm. I've looked at it using mc, and inside CONTENTS.cpio there's the specfile and the tgz archive of the source code. However, trying to install doesn't work. With rpm -Vp project.rpm, I can see that it lists the specfile and the tgz archive as missing. With verbose mode enabled, I see something similar to:
Directories not explicitly included in package:
/home/USERNAME/rpmbuild/SPECS/
/home/USERNAME/rpmbuild/SOURCES`
My rpmbuild directory isn't in my home directory, it's in the same directory as the build script. This leads to my actual question: how can I point rpmbuild at the correct location?
