Image Deployment¶

After a Yocto build is complete, the created images and files are stored in a <deploy> directory. The target usually is programmed with these files over USB. Unfortunately USB pass-through between host and a Hyper-V guest is not supported by default. Programming a target should therefore be done from the Windows host. The data built on a virtual machine has to be shared to the host. One possible approach is shown here.

On your Windows host:

Add a network share - e.g. \\<windows-hostname>\<windows-shared-folder>

On your Ubuntu machine:

Add a mount point for sharing
```
mkdir ~/shared-folder
```
Install cifs-utils
```
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
```

Mount the shared folder

sudo mount.cifs //<windows-hostname>/<windows-shared-folder> ~/shared-folder -o user=<windows-username>,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g)

Copy <deploy> to host (-L follow symbolic links in SOURCE)
```
cp -RL <deploy-folder>/. ~/shared-folder
```
