[meta-freescale] Can't select my own Kernel source

[filip.ghimpeteanu at freescale.com]

[Solved] Thank you all for the support.

1. The solution for the kernel selection was to have the "recipes-kernel/linux" directory structure inside my layer and
to add my recipe and defconfig in the "recipes-kernel/linux" directory. I added the PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel="linux-yocto-myproj" and the 
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto-myproj = "3.10%" inside "my conf/local.conf" file (linux-yocto-myproj was the name of my kernel recipe).

2. I fixed the Error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Command '/home/filip/YOCTO_DISK/fsl-arm-bsp/vybrid2/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/smart --data-dir=/home/filip/YOCTO_DISK/fsl-arm-bsp/vybrid2/tmp/work/twr_vf65gs10-poky-linux-gnueabi/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/var/lib/smart install -y run-postinsts at all packagegroup-core-boot at twr_vf65gs10' returned 1:

-------------------------------------------------------------

by changing the PR from "r0" to "r1" (in the hello-mod_0.1.bb) to force the recipe to be baked again. 
I think the problem was with having some cached files for the module recipe, although I deleted the build/tmp directory.

Yes.
Actually it only verifies that the variable is correctly set and that the reason it does not use your version is somewhere else.


What you could also try is to build your kernel recipe directly to see if bitbake actually does parse your recipe and to see if bitbake thinks your recipe is compatible with the machine your building it for.
e.g.
MACHINE=twr-vf65gs10 bitbake linux-yocto-myproj

If bitbake does not find it
- check bblayers.conf (where your local.conf is)
- check conf/layer.conf in your layer
