Yocto 1.0 - Poky release 5.0 "Bernard" confusion

-
On the first look the release tag and the release tarball don't seem to be the same as you can see here.

... that comes from the fact that the release git tag was moved.


git pull

is not enough;)

you also need to:

git fetch --tags


From git://git.pokylinux.org/poky
 - [tag update]      bernard-5.0 -> bernard-5.0

Yocto: BitBake and Dependencies - e.g. One recipe to use output of another recipe

It feels weird to help some get their working build to fail and then for them to be happy about it... (RP) Introduction This work is sponsored by Reliable Embedded Systems . You can find more information about our training/consulting services here . Objectives The goal of this blog post is to look into BitBake dependencies. As an example let's take recipe A ( u-boot-phytex-imx ) which needs the output of recipe B ( firmware-imx-8m ) for a successful compilation. (Please don't ask why.) To be more precise here is an excerpt of recipe A ( u-boot-phytex-imx ): # --> this funny u-boot from Phytec needs the ddr_firmware binaries in ${S} # Note: here we copy deployed stuff from another recipe # to the source dir of this recipe! # # DEPENDS deals with build-time depenencies # Read my blog post to find out why DEPENDS does not work here # # DEPENDS += " \ # firmware-imx-8m \ # " # RDEPENDS is wrong anyhow for what I want

Introduction This work is sponsored by Reliable Embedded Systems . You can find more information about our training/consulting services here . Objectives The goal of this blog post is to point out a well known and documented issue with kernel modules not ending up on the root file system which is likely overseen by people until they stumble over it.   Kernel module(s) So you created a brand new kernel module, or you just wanted to include all the kernel modules in the root file system, or just one of them. You reach out to the community mailing list or chat with something like this: I have MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS + = "kernel-modules" in my machine configuration. When I look into the rootfs I see no modules installed in /lib/modules/ $( uname -r ) . I get only a modules tarball in the deploy directory. I also tried MACHINE_EXTRA_RDEPENDS + = "kernel-modules" and it still does not work. What am I doing wrong? Check the Mega Manual If things d
