Khem - that does help. It also provides some other packages that aren’t in the deprecated rpi-hwup-image, but that doesn’t seem to hurt.
Max - thanks for the explanation about adding that package to the image as a possible solution. In this case, I’m trying to avoid multiple manual steps and just use a single bitbake target to acheive the build I need, though.
Andre - I have since read about core-image-minimal since receiving the warning message that "rpi-hwup-image is deprecated - use core-image-minimal instead” and having problems due to the missing modules. You are technically correct. I would like to state my opinion though that to unconditionally warn the user to use core-image-minimal instead of rpi-hwup-image (which definitely packages kernel modules if they are there) is not often the best advice to give.
Thanks to you all for the useful replies.
