Hi, all

I build the custom linux-yocto kernel, it appears the error as bellow :

ERROR: Function failed: do_validate_branches (log file is located at /home/ectrs/poky/coretexa8/tmp/work/am335x_evm-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-yocto-tiam335x/3.12.10--SS-r0/temp/log.do_validate_branches.4899)

Hi Neil,

Can you provide a bit more information ? What release/branch are you
building ?

Obviously you are building a variant of linux-yocto that wasn't
released as part of the project (since we don't have a tiam335x
recipe), is there a place that recipe can be found ?

These errors are pointing to an invalid or somehow corrupted/partially
built kernel git repository being used.

I assume that you've tried a clean/cleanll on the kernel recipe and
then rebuilt ?
