I’m trying to modify the u-boot-mdm recipe using devtool modify u-boot-edm. It doesn’t appear to matter where I put the unpacked files (my own directory or one in the ‘workspace’ layer), there are immediate problems: I either get messages like ‘error BLAH is required for Mender to work’, or problems…

I personally do not use devtool and we do not have any tests to ensure it works either, meaning that their could be issues with it in combination with meta-mender. But I would expect the problems to be isolated to the “u-boot” recipes, as this is where we have a lot of specialized logic and this is…

Yes, I’ve since found that the problem does seem to be restricted to u-boot. My yocto debugging skills are limited at this point, but I’ll let you know if I find a fix. Thanks for your prompt response.

Hi, Did you ever find the solution to this? I am doing the following: devtool modify u-boot-imx devtool build u-boot-imx and I get the error: 03-r0/temp/log.do_mender_tar_src.22367 DEBUG: Executing shell function do_mender_tar_src tar: git: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting wi…

If I try to extract the source and build I get the following errors What sources are you extracting? This seems to be missing some patches that are applied during a “normal build”. I normally just use bitbake -c devshell and bitbake -c compile u-boot if I am testing things out to create patches. …

I have a build server for doing our yocto builds (24 cores, 48Gb RAM etc), but if I am working on the kernel or u-boot I tend to get the source and build locally on my laptop. One way to do this is to use devtool modify then either use devtool build to build in place on the server, or copy the sour…

[image] brianPTL: Open the devshell: bitbake u-boot -c devshell Edit your files Close the devshell Compile using bitbake u-boot -c compile Return to 1. if there is more to do Once you are happy, create patches from the devshell source area. Exactly, but keep in mind that I tend to do very sm…

I have created a task to track this, https://tracker.mender.io/browse/MEN-2591

Yes, the devtool is a nice tool. It keeps a git repo of the changes you make. You commit as you go along. You can then issue devtool finish on your recipe and specify a target layer. It will then create the bbappends and patches in that layer - one patch per commit. I am not good enough with Yocto…
