Re: Difference b/w yocto kernels and normal linux.org kernels

[Raghavendra Kakarla <Raghavendra.Kakarla@inedasystems.com>]

Hi Paul Eggleton,

I have some doubts on the SDK and build errors.

Could you please clarify my doubts.

1. Can we get the consolidated log/file for total installed packages for corresponding SDK. If user wants to know what packages are included in the SDK.

2. When trying to build the images always getting a error saying that clean things in kernel path in build error log, then we goto that path run command "make mrproper" then it is working fine. 


Thanks and Regards,
Raghavendra K.

If you want to use your own non-git sources you are moving further away from
how the linux-yocto recipe works. If you have not already I would suggest
using linux-yocto-custom as described in our kernel development manual:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/kernel-dev/kernel-dev.html#working-with-your-own-sources

Note that you must not have SRCPV included in the recipe's value of PV, or
you will get the error you mentioned.

Cheers,
Paul
