How to find the custom recipe created in yocto inside st-image-qt

Juan Gomez

I created a st-image-qt image using the STM32MP Distribution package and X-LINUX-QT add-on for the STM32MP157F-DK2 board.

I could flash this image using the dd command in Linux and my target board is running correctly.

On the other side, I created a qt quick app using qt 6.7.3(which I could test ok using qt creator) and now I need to add this qt app in my st-image-qt image. I can bitbake this custom recipe doing "bitbake mygui"

I created the custom layer and a custom recipe and added this custom layer to my bblayers. Then, I built the image again with this custom recipe and it worked ok.

The problem is that I expect to find this qt app inside my bin directory, but I can't see it.

    install -d ${D}${bindir}
    install -m 0775 mygui ${D}${bindir}/
}

FILES_${PN} += "${bindir}/mygui"

inherit cmake_qt5

In my local conf file, I added:

IMAGE_INSTALL_APPEND += "mygui"

do_install:append() = " mygui" is the correct syntax.
