[yocto] recipe fails to load local files

Fri Nov 14 00:36:58 PST 2014

Based on your suggestion Bryan, and referring to Section 10 -Glossary
of the ref-manual regarding FILES, I have changed the recipe as
follows:
__________________________________________
DESCRIPTION = "Belkin Wifi Firmware"
PR = "1.5"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
FILES_${PN} +=
"~/poky/meta-atmel-lsp/recipes-lsp/zd1211-firmware/zd1211-firmware"
SRC_URI = "
  file://zd1211_ub 
  file://zd1211_uph 
  file://zd1211_uphm 
  file://zd1211_uphr 
  file://zd1211_ur 
"

do_install() {
        install -d ${D}/lib/firmware/zd1211
    install -m 0555 ${WORKDIR}/zd1211_*  
 ${D}/lib/firmware/zd1211/
} 
 ___________________________________________________________

I had not seen a reference to the FILES parameter previously.
However, this still does not work.

Refering to :
http://www.embeddedlinux.org.cn/OEManual/recipes_examples.html

I run the follwoing command from my build directory:
$ bitbake -b
meta-atmel-lsp/recipes-lsp/zd1211-firmware/zd1211-firmware_1.5.bb

and I get the following error:
___________________________________________

but not shipped

______________________________________________

Note that i also had to address the LICENSE reference as I was
getting LICENSE_CHCKSUM errors

Also note that when I try to build the full image, there is no error
but the files are not present.
In my build directory configuration file I have the reference to my
recipe layer:
  /home/lachlan/poky/meta-atmel-lsp 
but although other recipes in this directory are working fine, this
recipe seems to be overlooked. I know that the full image build sees
the recipe because if I comment out the LICENSE reference, the full
image build indicates an error in this regard.

Thanks for any help
Lachlan

	Lachlan,

	If that is your entire recipe, I don’t see any FILES
specification:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#var-FILES
[1].  The SRC_URI just says where to get the source, but the FILES
states which files are expected to be added to the package.  I
believe the FILES variable is auto-populated by a compiled package,
which is why you may not see the FILES variable in every recipe.
 But in your case in which you don’t compile the code but are just
installing files on disk, you need to fill out the FILES variable.

	Regards,

	Bryan

SUBJECT: [yocto] recipe fails to load local files

	I am using yocto 1.6.1 and I have a a number of recipes in 
 ~/home/poky/meta-atmel-lsp/recipes-lsp.

 I have a lightpdbbappend that loads local files, I have a
wpa-supplicant.bbappend that loads local files, but I am also trying
to load some firmware that should load local files but fails.

 In ~/home/poky/meta-atmel-lsp/recipes-lsp/zd1211-firmware/ I have
the recipe zd1211-firmware_1.55.bb as follows:

 _______________________________________
 SUMMARY = "Belkin Wifi Firmware"
 LICENSE = "GPL"

 SRC_URI = "
   file://zd1211_ub 
   file://zd1211_uph 
   file://zd1211_uphm 
   file://zd1211_uphr 
   file://zd1211_ur 
 "

 do_install() {
         install -d ${D}/lib/firmware/zd1211
     install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/zd1211_*   
${D}/lib/firmware/zd1211/
 }
 _____________________________________
 I sourced these files but not the recipe from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zd1211/ [2]

 The files indicated in the recipe are in :

~/home/poky/meta-atmel-lsp/recipes-lsp/zd1211-firmware/zd1211-firmware/

 When I create the image, no directory is created as
/lib/firmware/zd1211
 and also no files are loaded into it.

 I have also tried {THISDIR}  instead of using {WORKDIR}
 I also tried specifying a specific file rather than using the wild
card
 I have also tried using 'cp' instead of 'install -m 0755'

 None seem to work.
 I am expecting the firmware files to be located in:

~/poky/build-atmel/tmp/work/sama5d3xek-poky-linux-gnueabi/atmel-qt5-demo-image/1.0-r0/rootfs/etc/firmware
 but they are not.

 I originally started with a recipe to load the files directly from
the source, but that did not work. The original recipe used was
zd1211-firmware_1.4.bb from:
https://gitorious.org/opencsbc/openembedded/source/583297ac295f1b381019ccecb4ae6abaa69cbc6c:recipes/zd1211
[3]

 That did not work and now I am extracting the files from the .tar
and trying to load them direct.
 Maybe the same problem exists between the original recipe and
loading the .tar files.

 Thanks for any help
 Lachlan
