I just try to add ipmitool(dbus version) into romulus image .

One quick way to do this is just add a line like

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " ipmitool"

to your build/local.conf. Note the space between the quote and the ipmitool - it is required.

But i don't know how to write the bb files , can someone write a tutorial about this subject ?

if it works , where ipmitool located in image tree ? /usr/bin/ipmitool

For someone getting to this ticket after a search, the new syntax (as of 2024) is: IMAGE_INSTALL:append=" ipmitool"
