From: badrikesh prusty <badrikesh.prusty@siemens.com>

Copy DTB_FILES to DEPLOYDIR/IMAGE_FULLNAME/KERNEL_NAME instead of DEPLOYDIR/.

An issue is observed when we attempt to build a second image for a machine
utilizing DTB_FILES. During the do_copy_boot_files task of image creation, the
DTB_FILES are copied to the shared location DEPLOYDIR/<dtb files>. When the
build of a second image is triggered, it detects that the DTB_FILES are already
present and avoids overwriting them.

Reproducer:
bitbake mc:phyboard-mira-bookworm:isar-image-base
bitbake mc:phyboard-mira-bookworm:isar-image-debug

Copy the DTB_FILES to the directory: DEPLOYDIR/IMAGE_FULLNAME/KERNEL_NAME/.
* This will allow building multiple images.
* As each kernel recipe ships its own DTB_FILES, if a user tries to rebuild
the same image with a new kernel, the DTB_FILES associated with the older
kernel will not be overwritten.

Update the DTB_IMG variable to check for DTB_FILES in their new location.
Update the WIC plugin scripts to use the DTB_FILES from their updated location
within the DEPLOYDIR.
Add IMAGE_FULLNAME and KERNEL_NAME to WICVARS to allow the scripts to retrieve
these variable values during WIC image generation.

This sounds familiar, and I think we discussed that multiple times
already. Did you study previous threads/patches, e.g.
https://patchwork.isar-build.org/project/isar/list/?series=1241?

This would affect downstream as well. You are missing a
RECIPE-API-CHANGELOG.md entry.

Yes, there were few patches that tried to solve the issue.

Using subdirectory (variant similar to TS's)
- https://patchwork.isar-build.org/project/isar/list/?series=1149
Allows to overlap files
- https://patchwork.isar-build.org/project/isar/list/?series=1235
Make kernel deploy the files, instead of image recipes
- https://patchwork.isar-build.org/project/isar/list/?series=1241

Finally, there is now perfect solution that would solve all possible
issues and wouldn't break compatibility with downstreams...

Anyway, we are planning to prepare Isar release 0.11 without the issue
fix (no downstream breaking changes) and apply some (or mixed) solution
after that, even at the cost of downstreams compatibility.

As 0.11 release was out  already, Can we consider merging this change?

Not in its current form as we explained. Plus you didn't answer the
question I gave you.

Hello all,

Apologies for the delayed response. I somehow missed the message.

I reviewed the previously shared patch, but not in full — thanks for 
sharing it here.

The patch I sent is very similar to @nicusor 
patch: https://patchwork.isar-build.org/project/isar/list/?series=1149

I just reviewed the other patches and believe that many may encounter the 
same issue. For instance, when attempting to build multiple kernels for a 
single image—such as `linux-image-amd64` and `linux-image-amd64-rt` 
kernels—this overwrite problem is likely to occur.

This patch also resolves the issue with image builds that include multiple 
kernels by storing the DTB files in the directory 
DEPLOYDIR/IMAGE_FULLNAME/KERNEL_NAME. This will also fix issues when 
building with different DISTROs as IMAGE_FULLNAME includes target DISTRO. 
Additionally, it fixes problems that arise when building with different 
DISTROs, since IMAGE_FULLNAME includes the target DISTRO.

Yes, it will affect downstream layers. E.g. I checked with the 
isar-cip-core repo, changes will be required in `efibootguard-boot` wic 
plugin. I will work on fixing it, once this is approved.

Thanks and Regards,
Badrikesh

I’ve sent the updated patch addressing the comments. I also added the 
changelog entry to RECIPES_API_CHANGELOG.md, but it’s not showing up here 
yet. I’ll update this once it appears.

Hello Badrikesh,

Files like scripts/lib/wic/plugins/source/bootimg-efi.py are borrowed 
from the
upstream and supposed to have as minimal changes as possible. Even having
changes in custom WIC plugins can results in additional side-effects.

Also, in general, DTBs should be part of a kernel, but not an image.
I've just released the new version of DTB deployment fix proposal which 
I hope
will cover all the cases. Please have a look:

https://patchwork.isar-build.org/project/isar/cover/20251008085507.1017500-1-amikan@ilbers.de/


There are also some observations regarding other implementations of the same
fix were shared on the list previously:

https://patchwork.isar-build.org/project/isar/patch/20240416100746.5681-1-nicusor_huhulea@mentor.com/

- We don't want to modify WIC plugins if solving outside of them is 
possible.

- Manipulating of sstate sounds tricky and errors might be costly.
- Allowing overlapping will cause deploy file loosing on multiple target 
setup.

Hello Anton,

Thanks for the fixes. The patch looks good, provides a complete solution, 
and addresses all issues without requiring any additional changes 
downstream layers. I tested the patch with various images that use 
DTB_FILES, and it worked fine with all builds.

Regards,
Badrikesh
