问题
I need to run a script on a target OS built by Yocto.
This script needs to be ran as part of the install and thus must be ran only once (either after the entire OS install or on the first boot). It cannot be ran on the host system, as it depends on the hardware IO which exists only on the target.
An additional, minor, constraint is that the rootfs is mounted as read only, but I guess that can be avoided by having the script re-mount as rw and again remount as r after the execution or something along those lines.
Any help is appreciated.

I ended up doing what shibley had written. Here's a detailed howto:
Create a new layer
Put the desired layer wherever your other layers are. Mine are in stuff
directory, next to the build directory.
Make the following files/directories:
meta_mylayer
├── conf
│ └── layer.conf
└── recipes-core
└── mylayer-initscript
├── initscript.bb
└── files
├── initscript.service
└── initscript.sh
meta_mylayer
is the name of your new layer.
Let's define the layer in conf/layer.conf
and tell it where to search for the recipes:
BBPATH .= ":${LAYERDIR}"
BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb ${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbappend"
BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "meta-mylayer"
BBFILE_PATTERN_meta-mylayer := "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_meta-mylayer = "99"
The recipes are defined by the name of the .bb file. This layer only has one recipe, named initscript.
initscript.bb
contains the recipe information. The following recipe will add our initscript service and put the actual install script, initscript.sh
, into /usr/sbin/
SUMMARY = "Initial boot script"
DESCRIPTION = "Script to do any first boot init, started as a systemd service which removes itself once finished"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
PR = "r3"
SRC_URI = " \
file://initscript.sh \
file://initscript.service \
"
do_compile () {
}
do_install () {
install -d ${D}/${sbindir}
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/initscript.sh ${D}/${sbindir}
install -d ${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system/
install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/initscript.service ${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system
}
NATIVE_SYSTEMD_SUPPORT = "1"
SYSTEMD_PACKAGES = "${PN}"
SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN} = "initscript.service"
inherit allarch systemd
install -d
will create any directories needed for the specified path, while install -m 0644
will copy the specified file with 644 permissions. ${D}
is the destination directory, by default it's ${WORKDIR}/image
Create the systemd service definition
I won't go into much details about how systemd works, but will rather paste the service definition:
[Unit]
Description=start initscript upon first boot
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'sleep 5 ; /usr/sbin/initscript.sh'
Do note the script location at /usr/sbin/
- that's where it will be copied by the last line of our do_install
function above.
Lastly, our initscript.sh
script itself:
#!/bin/sh
logger "starting initscript"
# do some work here. Mount rootfs as rw if needed.
logger "initscript work done"
#job done, remove it from systemd services
systemctl disable initscript.service
logger "initscript disabled"
Register the layer
We need to register our new layer, so that bitbake knows it's there.
Edit the build/conf/bblayers.conf
file and add the following line to the BASELAYERS
variable:
${TOPDIR}/../stuff/meta-mylayer \
Now that the bitbake recognizes our layer, we need to add our recipe to the image.
Edit the build/conf/local.conf
and add the initscript recipe to the IMAGE_INSTALL_append
variable. Here's how it looks like when added next to the python.
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python initscript"
Run the build
Run the build like you usually do. For example:
bitbake angstrom-lxde-image
After you install the build and boot for the first time, your initscript.sh
will be executed.
回答2:
The basic approach is to write a systemd service. The service can be enabled by default as defined in the yocto recipe systemd configuration. The script or application evoked by the service will disable the service when the script/application completes - ie. systemctl disable foo
. Therefore, the service will not run in future boots.
As you mentioned, the rootfs will require mounting as rw for this to work.

Thanks, this helped out. I needed to add
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
to the initscript.service to get it working
回答4:
A simple solution is to use a package post/install script that stops itself running at rootfs time (exit 1 if $D is set). This will result in it running at first boot. Yes, the script will need to remount the root fs.
