Building and flashing custom Legato image on WP8548

I need to add to my Legato image some additional layers such as meta-mono and meta-nodejs and flash it on WP8548 device, I did carefully read all te instructions mentioned on http://legato.io/legato-docs/latest/yoctoLegatoOverview.html, but I still can’t get working device with working system. These are my steps:

1 Download and extract sources from http://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/legato/legatolinuxdist/

2 Clone meta-mono and meta-nodejs to meta-openembedded dir

3 I have tried to find file meta-swi-extras/meta-swi-bin/recipes/images/9615-cdp-sierra-image.inc mentioned in instructions, and I didn’t find it, so I’ve edited build.sh script an added these lines:
# Enable the meta-mono layer enable_layer "meta-mono" "$OE/meta-mono"
# Enable the meta-nodejs layer enable_layer "meta-nodejs" "$OE/meta-nodejs"

4 make image

5 After build I’ve got these files in my .../yocto/build_bin/tmp/deploy/images/swi-mdm9x15 dir:

I’ve noticed that rootfs is actually the broken link, and there is no any *.ubi file, so I assumed the rootfs file is mdm9x15-image-dev-swi-mdm9x15.squashfs, its size is 166,6 MB

6 Change size of SYSTEM partition using command
AT!APPPARTCHG=896,128,20096,384,171048,384,36888,2560,20288,1152 to fit my rootfs.

7 Erase old images flash new ones using fastboot

8 After successful flashing I’ve got this core log:
Android Bootloader - UART_DM Initialized!!! [10] ERROR: No misc partition found [10] ERROR: Invalid boot image pagesize. Device pagesize: 2048, Image pagesize: 4096 [20] ERROR: Could not do normal boot. Reverting to fastboot mode. [60] udc_start()

What am I doing wrong? Please help.

I think the partition has not found mean 1.there is no proper partition 2.partition may be empty.
probably by taking care of the above 2 points. It will not give the above logs.

Looks like there is no .ubi generation for the dev image.

Only the -minimal one is actively supported, but if you can create a .ubi with the same principle as -minimal, you should be ok.

Also your repartitioning likely messed up the existing filesystems.
I would reflash Release 14 and make sure that it boots with the new partition sizes before trying to go further.
