DRA829V: Yocto: How to revise .bb or .bbappend files to fetch U-Boot Source from local directory

Philip Lin

Part Number: DRA829V

Hi,

I am using ti-processor-sdk-linux-j7-evm-08_02_00_03's Yocto environment to build test image, however, instead of having Bitbake fetching the U-Boot source from the git repository, I would like it to fetch it from my local directory "build/src". Under "u-boot-ti-staging_%.bbappend" under "meta-psdkla/recipes-bsp/", I added "FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${TOPDIR}/src/uboot/:", but it seems it is still fetching the source from git repository.

Would you please let me know is there anything else I need to change to prompt Bitbake to fetch sources from local directory?

Many Thanks,

Philip

Hi Philip,

You will need to make changes in the u-boot-ti-staging recipe in the meta-ti to replace the SRC_URI to pick it from the alternate location.

Override the the SRC_URI completely in the meta-psdkla.

This, by the way, is a generic Yocto question and s not a TI SDK specific question and I request you to look further into https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html and for further questions on this topic, suggest that you follow up on the Yocto mailing list.

Regards

Karthik
