Do we have a working pcbios example (wic or otherwise)?

I had a short look at xenomai-images and meta-iot2050 but didn't spot one.

With kind regards,

Hi Baurzhan,

Only qemui386 target installs syslinux as wic image depenency. 

https://github.com/ilbers/isar/blob/next/meta-isar/conf/machine/qemui386.conf#L9
https://github.com/ilbers/isar/blob/next/meta/conf/distro/debian-common.conf#L26

qemuamd64 uses grub.
https://github.com/ilbers/isar/blob/next/meta-isar/conf/machine/qemuamd64.conf#L11

Thanks,
Vijai Kumar K
