Day wrote:(you can tell i'm bored and want to get back up to speed on stuff ...) section 1.4 in BSP Guide, "Customizing a Recipe for a BSP", appears to discuss a new layer, "meta-xyz", then suggests the new "interfaces" file for this machine needs to go at the location: meta-xyz/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/files/xyz/interfaces ^^^ ??? but the files/ subdirectory of "xyz/" would appear to be necessary (as we all know) only if this was a more general layer that represented several machines (say, meta-ti) for which we *needed* to distinguish between machines. so while the above might be technically correct, it might mislead readers to think they *needed* to create a "xyz/" subdirectory for that overriding interfaces file.Actually, it *is* necessary if meta-xyz supports more than one MACHINE and those targets have unique versions of the 'interfaces' file (which is common since this file is being tailored for a particular target machine)
n.b. in this case you'd have .../files/MACHINEa/interfaces .../files/MACHINEb/interfaces and so on -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
