The error you pasted means that your setup has some kind of circular override references in it. Am I correct in understanding that you hit the same error regardless of the above line or not? If so, that means the problem is probably elsewhere in your configuration. As an example of what would cause this kind of issue: OVERRIDES = "${VAR1}:${VAR2}" VAR1 = "VAL1"VAR2 = "VAL2" VAR2_VAL2 = "VAL1" So bitbake would try and expand OVERRIDES and get "VAL1:VAL2", that would change the value of VAR2 to VAL1, making overrides "VAL1:VAL1", hence VAR2 now becomes VAL2, so OVERRIDES changes and so on. Rather than infinitely loop, the code exits. There isn't code in there which tries to figure out the circular dependency path since that is rather complicated and there can be multiple levels of indirection rather than just the single level above. You probably need to track down which OVERRIDES value is causing the problem, then work through the usages of it to find the problem, or instrument the code to see which values are changing and causing the instability.
