Currently, building linux-raspberrypi with "devtool build" breaks
because ${B}.config doesn't yet exist when do_configure_prepend runs.
Fix this by taking some logic from kernel.bbclass do_configure to populate
${B}.config before do_configure_prepend.
The full explanation for why this is necessary is fairly complex:
- In devtool builds, externalsrc.bbclass gets inherited and sets a list of
SRCTREECOVEREDTASKS, which don't get run because they affect the source tree
and, when using devtool, we want the developer's changes to be the single
source of truth. kernel-yocto.bbclass adds do_kernel_configme to
SRCTREECOVEREDTASKS, so it doesn't run in a devtool build., In a normal
non-devtool build, do_kernel_configme creates ${B}.config.
- Normally (e.g. in linux-yocto), it would be OK that do_kernel_configme
doesn't run, because the first few lines of do_configure in kernel.bbclass
populate ${B}.config from either ${S}.config (if it exists) for custom
developer changes, or otherwise from ${WORDIR}/defconfig.
- In linux-raspberrypi, we add do_configure_prepend, which tweaks
${B}.config. Since this runs *before* the kernel.bbclass do_configure,
${B}.config doesn't yet exist and we hit an error. Thus we need to move
the logic from do_configure up to before our do_configure_prepend. Because
we are copying only a portion of do_configure and not the whole thing,
there is no clean way to do it using OE functionality, so we just
copy-and-paste.

meta-raspberrypi
Yocto BSP layer for the Raspberry Pi boards - http://www.raspberrypi.org/.

Description
This is the general hardware specific BSP overlay for the RaspberryPi device.
More information can be found at: http://www.raspberrypi.org/ (Official Site)
The core BSP part of meta-raspberrypi should work with different OpenEmbedded/Yocto distributions and layer stacks, such as:
- Distro-less (only with OE-Core).
- Angstrom.
- Yocto/Poky (main focus of testing).
Dependencies
This layer depends on:
-
URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
- branch: master
- revision: HEAD
-
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
- layers: meta-oe, meta-multimedia, meta-networking, meta-python
- branch: master
- revision: HEAD
Quick Start
- source poky/oe-init-build-env rpi-build
- Add this layer to bblayers.conf and the dependencies above
- Set MACHINE in local.conf to one of the supported boards
- bitbake rpi-hwup-image
- dd to a SD card the generated sdimg file (use xzcat if rpi-sdimg.xz is used)
- Boot your RPI.
