You're right, it looks like it is currently out of sync with poky master, perhaps within the last 3 weeks.

I'll try and update it to the current poky master, and test the build with the ZC702.

Usually I maintain tags for working builds, here is an example for the ML507 board. 

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-xilinx/tag/?id=201210092220-xilinx-ml507-ppc440

I haven't pushed tags out yet for the ZC702 board. I'll fix this in the coming days.

The temporary solution to get the build going is to look up the corresponding recipes in poky/master
and modify the meta-xilinx bbappend recipe versions, and test it.

I'll take a look a Mike's repo as well and see how I can try and merge his work into this layer.

I don't have a Zedboard, but you should be able to pull in those changes to test it.


Best regards,
