Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Revert "prefix DTB files with PN in deploy dir"
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:19:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423121941.1704827-1-wzh@ilbers.de> (raw)
This reverts commit 8c34bb25b800d2d0d32a5154f87252a199cd902e.
The approach of prefixing DTB filenames has proven difficult to adopt
for some downstream users. Additionally, a general solution is needed
not only for DTBs but also for other artifacts that could cause
conflicts in multiconfig builds. Therefore, the patch is reverted.
This revert may re-introduce the do_copy_boot_files error for
DTBs with identical names belonging to different multiconfig targets.

----------------
-
-### Prefix DTB file names when deploying
-
-DTB files are now placed in the ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE} with a prefix of
-${PN}-${DISTRO}. During wic imaging, the prefix is removed again, so no changes
-to downstream wks files are needed (i.e. `dtb=my-device-tree.dtb` is not
-affected by this change). Custom imaging plugins need to be adapted to this
-change by removing the prefix from the filename. For that, the variable
-DTB_PREFIX is exported as bitbake var into wic environment.
-
-This fixes errors when building different distros with the same machine,
-whereby previously the following error occured:
-
-do_copy_boot_files: The recipe isar-image-base is trying to install
-files into a shared area when those files already exists. It happens
-when some files have the same names (e.g., dtb files) for different
-distros.
