Hello Yocto Community, I am trying to understand how to handle (beside linux-stable) another pre-released stream of kernels, handled ONLY by Linus.
I called it linux-torvalds. Whatever I tried last week does NOT work for me. Let me start describing the problem. This is the kernel recipe I am using in my meta-bbb layer, experimentally. Here is the pointer for kernel recipe 6.10-rc1 (on the net still visible from github): https://github.com/ZoranStojsavljevic/meta-bbb/blob/scarthgap/recipes-kernel/linux/ https://github.com/ZoranStojsavljevic/meta-bbb/blob/scarthgap/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-torvalds_6.10.bb Not sure from where the variable ${SRCPV} comes from (from .../poky/meta/...)? The .../build/conf/local.conf is NOT visible from the net, but in nutshell, here is what I have in it (important): ## Define kernel version ## SRCPV = "${@bb.fetch2.get_srcrev(d)} <<<======= Commented out - just to remind me about this mysterious variable ## PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ?= "meta-bbb" ## PREFERRED_VERSION_meta-bbb ?= "6.1.%" PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-torvalds" PREFERRED_VERSION_meta-bbb ?= "6.10.%" It then tries to pick up a latest linux-stable kernel 6.9.3 (talking from the scratch/fresh bitbake), but since I have: PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-torvalds" It fails, since it does not know the location where it needs to fetch it?! If I make the following changes: ## PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-torvalds" PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ?= "meta-bbb" PREFERRED_VERSION_meta-bbb ?= "6.10.%" It does fetch it correctly, but ONLY again kernel-stable 6.9.3 ??? Despite the line PREFERRED_VERSION_meta-bbb ?= "6.10.%"??? Where am I making a mistake here? How to pick up linux-torvalds_6.10_rc1 recipe??? At least, then I can continue forward? _______ I just spotted it! It seems here is the problem!? https://github.com/ZoranStojsavljevic/meta-bbb/blob/scarthgap/conf/machine/beaglebone.conf 5 SOC_FAMILY = "ti335x" 6 TARGET_ARCH = "arm" 7 8 DEFAULTTUNE ?= "cortexa8hf-neon" 9 10 require conf/machine/include/soc-family.inc 11 require conf/machine/include/arm/armv7a/tune-cortexa8.inc 12 =======>>> 13 PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-stable" <<<======= 14 #PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "ti-linux" 15 KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "zImage" 16 17 PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/bootloader = "u-boot" Thank you, Zee _______
