[meta-freescale] Adding custom machine / dts files

Mon Jan 14 04:57:57 PST 2019

Hello Daiane,

Thank you for pointing out that difference, I will be sure to talk to our supplier about using newer releases.

But I believe the only reason this does not work is my lack of knowledge in Yocto.

I realized that my previous error is because the patch is not applied correctly, by looking in /tmp/work/linux-im/4.1.15-r0/git/arch/arm/boot/dts

In my custom-layer, I added the dts files in a subfolder under recipes-kernel, but when I look in meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel they have not supplied any dts files there, or anywhere else, they are only created when built.

I tried to follow this guide : https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-95252

But my dts files are never included when I'm building.

Best regards,
Willie

Maybe this link can help somehow:
https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffreescale.github.io%2Fdoc%2Frelease-notes%2Fcurrent%2Findex.html%23the-differences-between-project-name-and-freescale-release-name&data=02%7C01%7CWillie.wiholm%40acte.se%7Ccaafe5fcde184a265fad08d67a17ccab%7C309e17c286e24bd1ac236459b0d1065a%7C1%7C1%7C636830639977922129&sdata=0ASHk%2F%2FWkNruJCKC%2FdVuMzk8StglS5fJ%2FvLdtKOiYo0%3D&reserved=0

And, if it's possible, it would be better to use some newer release/branch.
