[yocto] Raspberrypi3 with Kodi (as an exercise)

[Juan José Casafranca]

Hi everybody,

I'm completely new to the Yocto project, just started playing with it 
and my rpi3 two days ago.

As an exercise to learn how Yocto works, I'm trying to build a rpi image 
which can launch kodi.

Right now I'm able of building an image which contains kodi,but when I 
try to launch it, it fails. It says that it cannot create the GUI. (I 
have tried kodi, kodi --standalone and kodi-standadlone, same result)

In order to build the image, I had to add

MACHINE_FEATURES += "vc4graphics" so it gets mesa as egl, gl and opengl 
provider.

If I dont add that feature, kodi complains about not finding egl during 
configuration. I dont understand why it complains, since userland (the 
default) its a egl provider (as it says in the recipe at least, probably 
I am understanding something incorrectly).

Could you please guide me a little bit with this? As I said, it's my 
first time playing with embedded devices and with yocto, so some 
explanations would be nice :-)


Thanks!
