Hi Ross,

 

Yes, this is exactly what I assumed – I know, too many assumptions…

The point is that many people are turning to Poky for generating their first 
Yocto-based distribution for RaspberryPi. And out of the box, if using system, 
the network part doesn’t work.

That’s why I was trying to “solve” that at the meta-raspberrypi layer, instead 
of having each and everyone do it again at a personal level.

And I definitely understand meta-raspberrypi might not be perfect for that – 
but where else to put it, with the goal of having everyone using 
meta-raspberrypi have network enabled out of the box when using system on a 
Poky distribution?

 

Maybe it’s just not possible, that could be a valid answer as well.

 

BR,

 

Hervé

Because Poky is a reference distribution, primarily for QA, that doesn't 
explicitly support the Raspberry Pi and certainly doesn't expect to be used 
outside of QA purposes.

 

Inventing your own distribution is trivial (in fact, you don't even need one) 
and is exactly the sort of place that this sort of logic belongs.
