Hi All,
I'm wondering what the best practice would be in the following situation.
We have a board that is going to be used in several projects.
The set of basic packages is the same but every project might have some
minor and perhaps sometimes major differences in f.i. config files.
I don't want to make a copy of the base project for every upcoming new
project. I would really like to handle with the differences only.
What is the best approach for this?
Thanks!
Jaap

Create conf/machine/board1.conf and describe everything there. Set
kernel etc. Then create conf/machine/board2.conf which will "require
conf/machine/board1.conf" and then change what is needed.
This way you have two values of MACHINE variable which you can use in
all recipes you need to modify for boards. And you are able to do builds
with one TMPDIR so most of builds will be reused.
