Hi,
for my work on the dm8148-evm I got firmware files with the suffix
".xem3" from TI. I made a simple recipe to install those files in my
image, but I ran into a bad problem:
The firmware files I find in my image are different from the files i use
in my recipe. No matter if I use "install" or just "cp" to copy the
files to the destination.
Looks like those files get stripped during packaging. Normally not a bad
idea, but in this special case stripping the symbols makes the files
dysfunctional.
Is there a way to avoid stripping?
Regards
Rainer

If its just a firmware recipe and there aren't other files that do need
to be stripped, you could set:
INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1"
We don't have a mechanism to exclude specific files at present but we
could probably do with adding one. The code that does stripping is in
package.bbclass if you haven't already found it.
Cheers,
Richard
