Romain, All,

On 2022-09-04 22:04 +0200, Romain Naour spake thusly:

Well, why don't we always check for an overlay when BR2_XTENSA_CUSTOM=y?

Indeed, whether big or little endian, if the user selects a custom
xtensa configuration, they better provide the overlay for that
configuration, otherwise that does not make sense, and they should be
using BR2_xtensa_fsf=y instead.

So, maybe just this

    diff --git a/arch/arch.mk.xtensa b/arch/arch.mk.xtensa
    index fd410f6bfa..9cf6f45678 100644
    --- a/arch/arch.mk.xtensa
    +++ b/arch/arch.mk.xtensa
    @@ -10,6 +10,9 @@
     #   endif
     ################################################################################
     BR_ARCH_XTENSA_OVERLAY_FILE = $(call qstrip,$(BR2_XTENSA_OVERLAY_FILE))
    +ifeq ($(BR_BUILDING)$(BR2_XTENSA_CUSTOM):$(BR_ARCH_XTENSA_OVERLAY_FILE),yy:)
    +$(error No xtensa overlay file provided. Check your BR2_XTENSA_OVERLAY_FILE setting)
    +endif
     ifneq ($(filter http://% https://% ftp://% scp://%,$(BR_ARCH_XTENSA_OVERLAY_FILE)),)
     ARCH_XTENSA_OVERLAY_URL = $(BR_ARCH_XTENSA_OVERLAY_FILE)
     ARCH_XTENSA_OVERLAY_FILE = $($(PKG)_DL_DIR)/$(notdir $(BR_ARCH_XTENSA_OVERLAY_FILE))

Thoughts?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
