Using scartgap branch, trying to create a kernel recipe for a custom LS1028 machine.

The recipe in meta-freescale for the ls1028ardb is hopelessly outdated and produces a 5.10 kernel.

So for my custom board based on the ls1028 I want to create a recipe that builds a mainline kernel (I don't need GPU or fancy things that require firmware or special drivers, so mainline should be fine).

I started out trying to get linux-yocto to build for my board, so copied the "skeleton" recipe, adjusted a bit (add COMPATIBLE_MACHINE and a defconfig).

But when I then run "bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel" I always get this message:

ERROR: linux-yocto-*-6.6+git-r0 do_menuconfig: do_menuconfig is disabled, please check KCONFIG_CONFIG_ENABLE_MENUCONFIG variable.

I tried starting with a copy of recipes like linux-fscl, same error. Always.

(note: I've run "menuconfig" a million times by now, for dozens of boards, so it's not the system).

I tried adding
KCONFIG_CONFIG_ENABLE_MENUCONFIG="true"
to my recipe, but that also had no effect.

The log file also contains no information whatsoever.

What's the real issue?

cml1.bbclass has this:

KCONFIG_CONFIG_ENABLE_MENUCONFIG ??= “true"
…
     if not bb.utils.to_boolean(d.getVar("KCONFIG_CONFIG_ENABLE_MENUCONFIG")):
         bb.fatal("do_menuconfig is disabled, please check KCONFIG_CONFIG_ENABLE_MENUCONFIG variable.”)

So if you’re seeing that message then _something_ is assigning that variable to false. Use bitbake-getvar to identify what that is.


Interesting, that points to "uboot-config.bbclass:147" which sets it to false. I'm not building u-boot here, I'm building the kernel?


$ bitbake-getvar -r linux-fslc KCONFIG_CONFIG_ENABLE_MENUCONFIG
#
# $KCONFIG_CONFIG_ENABLE_MENUCONFIG [3 operations]
#   set /.../oe-core/meta/classes-recipe/cml1.bbclass:35
#     [_defaultval] "true"
#   set uboot-config.bbclass:147 [__anon_148__..._oe_core_meta_classes_recipe_uboot_config_bbclass]
#     "false"
#   set uboot-config.bbclass:147 [__anon_148__..._oe_core_meta_classes_recipe_uboot_config_bbclass]
#     "false"
# pre-expansion value:
#   "false"
KCONFIG_CONFIG_ENABLE_MENUCONFIG="false"



This is because of using "fitImage":

meta/classes-recipe/kernel-fitimage.bbclass:inherit kernel-uboot kernel-artifact-names uboot-config


I can specify this in the kernel recipe to make this error go away:
UBOOT_CONFIG = "tfa"

But then the menuconfig command just exits silently and does nothing whatsoever.
