[yocto] MACHINE .conf file

[Raymond Yeung]

Meta-intel comes with the BSP we chose for our board.  It's already in conf/bblayers.conf.


I tried to use do_install() {...} within the workspaces/recipes/.../.bb file created by devtool to move files.  However, I'm currently stuck with not knowing the exact variable/macro I could use for the source and the destination to prepare for the root filesystem.  Any tip/help?

Did you add meta-intel layer in conf/bblayers.conf file.. It will be present in that directory.

Some questions about MACHINE:



1. I'd customized MACHINE (="intel-corei7-64") variable in conf/local.conf under my build directory, as per document, and had successfully generated an image for my H/W.  However, I don't seem to find "intel-corei7-64.conf" file in meta/conf/machine under poky source directory.  Is this normal?



2. How many machine files are there per target machine, and should it be in meta/conf/machine under source directory (similar to #1, but just a confirmation for me)?



3. To install an "external" .ko in the root filesystem, my understanding is I need to add its name to MACHINE_XXX_RRECOMMENDS (or one of the other 3) in machine .conf file.  If there's only 1 machine file, this is obvious.  If not, where should I put it?
