[yocto] Files missing in SDK

[Gary Thomas]

As previously discussed, I'm trying to build an SDK for my system
using -c populate_sdk_ext.  For the most part, I have this working
except for one package which is missing a number of files.

I've looked at the details of the nativesdk-ti-cgt-pru package
which was built as part of this process:
46610678 Mar  6 16:03 tmp/deploy/ipk/x86_64-nativesdk/nativesdk-ti-cgt-pru_2.1.4-r0.2_x86_64-nativesdk.ipk

Examining the package in detail (unpacking manually), I can see these files
$ ls opt/amltd/2.2+snapshot/sysroots/x86_64-amltdsdk-linux/usr/share/ti/cgt-pru/
bin                  Open_defects.html
bin.cmd              PRU_Code_Generation_Tools_2.1.x_manifest.html
Closed_defects.html  PRU_CodeGen_Library_2.1_0222433C-30C1-442d-B5C6-2073BD97F80F.spdx.tag
example              README.txt
include              ti_cgt_pru_2.1.4_linux-x64_installer_install.log
lib                  ti_cgt_pru_2.1.4_uninstaller.dat
man                  ti_cgt_pru_2.1.4_uninstaller.run

Of these, only a few make it into my final SDK (my SDK was unpacked into ~/amltd_sdk
and my target board/MACHINE is called rainier-p8701)
$ ls /home/gthomas/amltd_sdk/tmp/sysroots/rainier-p8701/usr/share/ti/cgt-pru/
include  lib

So the files are in the package (.ipk), but somewhere in the magic of
turning those packages into the actual SDK, they went missing.  Where
does this happen and how can I figure out how to get them into my final
SDK?  I don't think it's the fault of the ti-cgt-pru recipe because it
did get the files into the nativesdk .ipk, they just aren't being kept
in the final SDK.

Observation: perhaps this is related to how the [board] package for this tool
is packaged?  I can see very different layouts between the two, looking at the
staging [image] built in the two situations.

Maybe the SDK generation is trying to look at how the board files are packaged
and extract the corresponding bits for the SDK from the nativesdk package?

I'm happy to share any of these bits if someone wants to help me understand
how to fix the issue.

Thanks again
