Following discussion on the Raspberry Pi tools bug tracker it was found that rpi-mkimage is no longer needed with recent firmware. It can therefore be dropped from the layer completely.
Whilst looking into this I also found that the u-boot-rpi recipe in meta-raspberrypi can now be replaced by direct use of the mainline u-boot recipe from oe-core. The 2016.03 release of u-boot supports the original Raspberry Pi and the Raspberry Pi 2. Configuration of the u-boot environment to directly boot the uImage file on the SD card must still be done manually - I'm going to look into making this work by default in the near future. Changes for V2: * Don't remove linux-raspberrypi 3.18 just yet * Drop move of PV setting out of linux-raspberrypi.inc Changes for V3: * Rebase onto latest master Paul Barker (4): linux-raspberrypi: rpi-mkimage is no longer needed u-boot: Use mainline u-boot recipe from oe-core rpi-mkimage: Remove unused recipe sdcard_image-rpi: Always install dtb files classes/sdcard_image-rpi.bbclass | 42 +++++++++++----------- conf/machine/include/rpi-default-providers.inc | 1 - conf/machine/raspberrypi.conf | 2 ++ conf/machine/raspberrypi2.conf | 2 ++ recipes-bsp/rpi-mkimage/rpi-mkimage/License | 25 ------------- .../open-files-relative-to-script.patch | 17 --------- recipes-bsp/rpi-mkimage/rpi-mkimage_git.bb | 22 ------------ recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-rpi_git.bb | 29 --------------- recipes-kernel/linux/linux-raspberrypi.inc | 20 ----------- 9 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 135 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 recipes-bsp/rpi-mkimage/rpi-mkimage/License delete mode 100644 recipes-bsp/rpi-mkimage/rpi-mkimage/open-files-relative-to-script.patch delete mode 100644 recipes-bsp/rpi-mkimage/rpi-mkimage_git.bb delete mode 100644 recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-rpi_git.bb -- 2.1.4 -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
