Config fragment not being picked up

Config fragment not being picked up

[Saridakis, Dean (US SSA)]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 633 bytes --]

Think I've followed the example in the manual correctly. My append file is pretty simple:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}"
SRC_URI += "file://can.cfg"

I'm doing this in a layer on top of a yocto-based SDK.  Don't think it should matter, but the underlying kernel recipe has:

do_configure_prepend() {
                # copy desired defconfig so we pick it up for the real kernel_do_configure
                cp ${KERNEL_DEFCONFIG} ${B}/.config
}

Wasn't able to make much sense of the log: lots of "DEBUG: Removing manifest ..." and then some kcfonig output?
Any advice/suggestions?

Thanks,

Dean

It looks like you forgot the colon at the end of the path.
Try this:
  FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"

Good eye, but afraid that didn't help (maybe the path was empty before???). I think the files are getting picked up, since fetch will fail if change the file name to force a not found error.

What release are you using ? I tested this just last night before the
1.4 release final RC .. so it definitely still works!

How are you determining that it isn't being picked up?

I believe the SDK is based on Yocto 1.2 / Poky 7.0 -- bitbake is 1.15.2.
kernel.bbclass kernel_do_configure() looks like it only does a make oldconfig on defconfig...?
Should I expect to see the .cfg files being eppended there?

The .config I end up with doesn't have the definitions from my .cfg fragment files.

Fragments are processed later in the build procedure. Assuming
this is a linux-yocto based bbappend, they'll be added in the 
kernel_configme
task, and will modify the base BSP configuration.

That doesn't mean that all the settings will make it to the final
.config, since normal LKC processing and missing dependencies would
drop invalid/incorrect settings.

The SDK .bb inherits directly from kernel & doesn't use linux-yocto.bb. So listtask doesn't show configme.
I see an addtask for it in linux-yocto.inc, but am guessing that trying to shoehorn that in on top of the SDK (in my append file) is probably more trouble than it's worth. 
Guess I'm better off trying to figure out how to patch the defconfig?

The ability to use fragments requires that you at least use the
linux-yocto bbclass, it will work with non linux-yocto recipes, but
you need to follow the example in 
meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto-custom.bb

The 1.2 vintage fragments aren't as feature rich as 1.3 and 1.4, but
they should work to add simple fragment modifications.

I hate to see anyone hacking a defconfig unless nothing else works :)

Thanks for all the help. The skeleton example isn't in 1.2. Based on 1.3 I tried adding 

	require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc

to my append, but ran into other errors (looks like it adds 5 tasks including kernel_configme). Did a brute-force override of do_kernel_checkout() to get around my 1st error, but then do_patch() failed, so think I'm going to punt & hack defconfig.
Thanks again for all the help.
