I am trying to create an iodeOS 6.9 image for the ASUS Zenfone 8 .
Compiling the image is successful, but the payload.bin file in the ZIP file contains these partition images:
[xtrnaw7@t15g /data/develop/android/test]$ unzip /data/backup/ASUS_ZENFONE8/iodeos/6.x/iode-6.9-20251112-sake.zip

After installing the OS from this zip file on the ASUS Zenfone 8 the phone does not boot anymore ; instead the phone boots into EDL mode
IMHO the that’s caused by the not necessary empty partition images in the ZIP file: abl, aop, etc.
The phone boots again after restoring the partitions from the original image.
How can I build an iodeOS 6.9 ZIP file with only the required partition images in the payload.bin file?
That are the images for these partitions:
boot
dtbo
odm
product
system
system_ext
vbmeta
vbmeta_system
vendor
vendor_boot
vendor_dlkm
The configuration in the file device/asus/sake/BoardConfig.mk in the source code for iodeOS is okay:
[xtrnaw7@t15g /datapool001/develop/iodeos/6.x]$ grep -B2 -A12 AB_OTA_PARTITIONS device/asus/sake/BoardConfig.mk
A/B
AB_OTA_UPDATER := true
AB_OTA_PARTITIONS +=
boot
dtbo
odm
product
system
system_ext
vbmeta
vbmeta_system
vendor
vendor_dlkm
vendor_boot
but it seems the other partitions are added to the list of images for the payload.bin file in some other config file I did not found yet.
