I'm working with i.MX6 targets (meta-fsl-arm*).  For these

layer of stratification, so my tmp/work tree has:
    all-amltd-linux
    cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-amltd-linux-gnueabi
    cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-mx6qdl-amltd-linux-gnueabi
    teton_p0382-amltd-linux-gnueabi
    x86_64-amltd-linux-gnueabi
    x86_64-linux

The packages that are built in tmp/work/cortex* are architecture
specific, not target specific, hence my question:

    If I build for two i.MX6 targets, identical in every way
    except for the ${MACHINE} name, if I use sstate to share
    the builds from target A when building for target B, why
    are the packages built in cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-mx6qdl-amltd-linux-gnueabi
    not shared by sstate?  I can see that they are present in
    the sstate cache, but they are always rebuilt for target B.
    I consider this incorrect behaviour as these are the same
    architecture and so they should be sharable via sstate.

Am I missing something here?  How can I determine why the
package from target A (sstate cache) is not usable by target B?

Use openembedded-core/scripts/sstate-diff-machines.sh to check if the
signatures of the recipes you expect to be re-used are the same.


How can I use this if the two targets have their own tmp/ tree?
