Hello Beth and/or Joshua,

I would really appreciate some pointers on how to get the Variscite builds to work with Autobuilder.

Since my last email, I was able to setup the Yocto Autobuilder, add the sample hello.conf and run it.

I was also able to add another file, nightly-variscite-x11.conf and I can see it in the Waterfall view. Initially, I started by filling it with content similar to hello.conf and this worked. Now, I need to be able to add the Variscite build.

Since my last email, Variscite have moved to the morty branch, since Freescale/NXP have moved to the morty branch. So, the wiki instructions here http://variwiki.com/index.php?title=Yocto_Build_Release&release=RELEASE_MORTY_BETA_DART-6UL are now simpler:

1) Checkout the source code

$ mkdir ~/var-fslc-yocto
$ cd ~/var-fslc-yocto
$ repo init -u https://github.com/varigit/variscite-bsp-platform.git -b morty
$ repo sync -j4

2) Run the setup script (which calls oe-init-environment)

$ cd ~/var-fslc-yocto
$ MACHINE=imx6ul-var-dart DISTRO=fslc-x11 . setup-environment build_x11

3) Build X11 demo images

# Without Qt content:
$ bitbake fsl-image-gui

# Or with Qt content:
$ bitbake fsl-image-qt5

The 'repo' command reads the file default.xml which has the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

So, AFAIK, I need to either (a) translate these into the 'repos' property in my buildset, or write a custom buildstep that can use the 'repo' tool to clone the needed repositories.
