Interesting indeed. I have no idea what's so special about Fedora host - this is the first time I hear about issues with it.

Same here - building for different targets with different kernels from meta-ti and on 32 and 64 bit hosts and never had an issue like that... > I don't know what's unique about an x86_64 host, but it does seem to work. > > I was trying this to see how the stock Yocto support for the BBB competes with > building using meta-beaglebone which I've been using successfully.

Indeed, cape support is missing, as it is still not merged upstream, going through numerous iterations... The point of meta-beagleboard was to work on cape support and such, with the goal to upstream it, while meta-ti kept on working on SoC and peripheral support. Due to different circumstances, meta-beagleboard still uses 3.8 kernel. Once it is accepted upstream, it will be part of the mainline kernel and one of the later versions of the Yocto Project reference BSP. -- Denys -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
