It happens for every board not just ci20 ...I have tried all genimage versions in buildroot and the error message above is with genimage version 14

This is a parser error while trying to read the config file. What's the content of the config file?

[NirajTummala]

image sdcard.img { hdimage { }

partition uboot-spl {
    in-partition-table = "no"
    image = "u-boot-spl.bin"
    offset = 512
}

partition uboot {
    in-partition-table = "no"
    image = "u-boot.img"
    offset = 14k
}

partition uboot-env {
    in-partition-table = "no"
    image = "uboot-env.bin"
    offset = 526k
}

partition rootfs {
    partition-type = 0x83
    image = "rootfs.ext4"
    offset = 2M
}

}

Right, so this is not fatal and I'm quite sure, that you can just ignore it. For genimage there is an optional config {} section. But in most cases that is not needed. From what I can tell, newer versions of libconfuse (the library used to parse the config file) print this warning when genimage tries to access this section.

I'll leave this issue open because we should handle this better. Probably check if the section is actually there, or something like that.

But you can just ignore the message. The image should be created correctly anyways.

Ok Thank you
