Solution:
Modify the file project-spec/meta-plnx-generated/recipes-core/images/petalinux-user-image.bb
Add IMAGE_FSTYPES_remove = “cpio.gz cpio cpio.gz.u-boot cpio.bz2” at the end of this file, save and recompile
This command will eventually cancel the generation of the rootfs.cpio file.
Because cpio is a very old archive and packaging tool, it has been gradually replaced by tar, maybe because it is too old, so when the rootfs package file size is too large, it exceeds
The upper limit of cpio is up.
