[yocto] Building image without kernel

[Jegan Chandru]

​Hi,

You can skip kernel build by a custom python function. It is supported by
bitbake. There is an event called '*SkipPackage*'
I did this for my custom distro in dylan. You can add this in your
linux.bbappend.

python __anonymous () {
    import bb, re
    nokb = (re.match('*insert ur distroname*', d.getVar('DISTRO', True)) !=
None)
    if nokb:
        raise bb.parse.SkipPackage("Skipping Yocto Kernel Build for our %s
Distro" %
                                   d.getVar('DISTRO', True))
