There is no image generated while build ast2500 evb

[Brandon Wyman]

I found this a curiosity, so while catching up on some mailing list
e-mails, I decided to give this build a go.

While it was running, I stumbled upon a similar mailing list topic,
but there it apparently builds a binary file, but some questions on
missing executables:

AST2500 Evaluation Board build question   Dolaty, Mohsen
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2019-October/019227.html

When I checked back on the build attempt, it seemed to work, with some warnings:
[build]$ cd /tmp/$USER
[build]$ ls
[build]$ mkdir evb
[build]$ cd evb
[build]$ export TEMPLATECONF=meta-evb/meta-evb-aspeed/meta-evb-ast2500/conf

Not that there is NOT an mtd file, but the bin file mentioned in the
other post is there. I am not certain what the differing extensions
mean right now though.

This initial hurdle was very frustrating and time-wasting, as there are several components that don’t build using the supplied instructions, and the “Issues” raised on github are unanswered.  I ended up targeting a machine name that is supported by the “./setup” script (for a list of machines, execute “. ./setup”), as described in the OpenBMC Wiki.
