Where does the dependency on bootloader have to be placed? about bootimage HOT 2 CLOSED

The bootloader dependency needs to be in the Cargo.toml of the executable, so for example in demo/Cargo.toml if you want to build the rusty_demo executable.

The problem you are seeing occurs because cargo build builds all binaries in the project by default. In this situation, bootimage tries to also create bootable disk images for all built binaries, but some of the binaries have no bootimage dependency. (In the error message you posted, you see that bootimage successfully created the bootable disk image for the rusty_demo binary but failed afterwards when it tried to created the bootable disk image for the next binary. We should definitely improve the error message to make this more clear.)

To fix this problem, either add a bootimage dependency to all your binaries in the workspace if you want to build them all with bootimage. Alternatively, try building from the subdirectory of an executable or specifying a single executable to build by passing e.g. --bin rusty_demo.
