[meta-ti] [yocto] Migration from 1.7.1 to 1.8 - kernel-abiversion missing

[Patricia Holden]

I'm new to this project and environment, but do have some input on this 
problem.  I've 
been running into the same issue and trying to get my image going so 
that I can get a bootable image ready for a client by next week.  I have 
tried using linux-dummy and creating my own "linux-xxx" to try to get 
the problem resolved.  I always end in the same failure.  I looked at 
STAGING_KERNEL_BUILDDIR using "bitbake -e core-image-minimal |grep 
STAGING_KERNEL_BUILDDIR.  It is set correctly to my linux-build 
directory and I see the abi version file in my linux-build directory 
too.  In the error log, however, the path being accessed is not the 
STAGING_KERNEL_BUILDDIR. It's looking for the abi version in 
$HOME/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/ags0-qemux86/pkgdata/kernel-depmod/kernel-
abiversion.

I'm now contemplating just going with the yocto-linux and then adding a 
patch in my bsp recipe-kernels to try to get around this problem.

Any thoughts or suggestions are most appreciated!
