Hi,
Our system is based on Conduits running a slightly customized base image and several ipk-packages created outside Yocto/OpenEmbedded and bitbake.
We have ipk-packages which are site dependent, i.e. configuration files describing the site-setup are generated and put in an ipk-file which is installed on the conduit. (For example the network-configuration and thus access to the internet).
We would like to handle the case where we need to update the rootfs and the kernel image. This will be done via the standard mechanisms (by putting files into /var/volatile/flash-upgrade).
Is there are mechanism already present in Yocto or mLinux which allows installing ipk-files stored in /var/volatile as well, right after flashing or during the first boot?
If not, what would be the correct way to implement this?
Thank you in advance.
