[meta-xilinx] iptables kernel modules

[Alan Levy]

You need to add the appropriate kernel configuration fragments yourself (CONFIG_NETFILTER_xxx, CONFIG_IP_NF_xxx, CONFIG_NF_xxx etc.). See the Yocto mega-manual for details on how to do this.

I assume that (at least some of) these are enabled by default in the x86 kernel but they aren't in the Zynq kernel. Be warned, there are a lot of them.

Subject: [meta-xilinx] iptables kernel modules

I have an application that needs to use iptables.
The iptables recipe is located under poky/meta/recipes-extended/iptables.
When I use MACHINE = "qemux86", and add IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " iptables" in my local.conf, Yocto will nicely include iptables and the corresponding kernel modules in the image. This has the desired behavior.
But when I change MACHINE to "qemu-zynq7", Yocto will only include the iptables utility and not the corresponding kernel modules in the image. This will result in an error message when I run the iptables utility.
meta-xilinx is the only layer that I've added to bblayers.
I've tested morty, pyro, and rel-2017.x branches, but all have the same behavior.

How can I get Yocto to include the kernel modules for iptables in the image for my Xilinx target?

Regards
Gaute
