[yocto] Difference b/w yocto kernels and normal linux.org kernels

[Raghavendra Kakarla]

Hi Paul Eggleton,

Is it kernel is must be a git repository code for building in the yocto?

When i gave my custom kernel which is not a git repository code and it is in my development PC, i got invalid SRCREV number error.
But when give the same kernel from the git repository it is working.
Can you please help me in resolving this error.  

Cheers,
Raghavendra K.

Assuming you built the SDK you had installed with "doc-pkgs" in
SDKIMAGE_FEATURES, they would be in the target sysroot i.e.
<sdk-install-dir>/sysroots/<your-machine-arch>/usr/share/doc/
