[yocto] What is the procedure for creating a board support package?

[Stephen Lawrence]

Hi Peter,

As Petter said your MACHINE variable might not be set correctly.

As an aside the Yocto Project used to maintain a BSP tutorial alongside the documentation. I've not looked at it for some versions but if that is still true you might find that useful in your education. An online search should turn it up.

Cheers

Steve

Subject: [yocto] What is the procedure for creating a board support package?

I'm trying to follow the instructions at:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.html#creating-a-new-bsp-layer-using-the-yocto-bsp-script

I followed the prompts exactly as specified (although the SMP support prompt did not appear), and I chose the default 4.12 kernel (presumably the guide is slightly out of date).

I included the generated bsp in bblayers.conf as indicated.

I invoked:
bitbake core-image-minimal
However, the resulting build was intel based, and not arm as one might expect since I asked for ARM when prompted by the yocto-bsp script.
Is there a more hands-on document that I could be following?
Peter.
