[meta-xilinx] Building Linux 5.2 for Zynq with Yocto

Sun Sep 29 22:43:12 PDT 2019

You may want to try building a "similar" kernel first, so start with 4.14 or 4.19.

I made a 'mainline' recipe for the topic boards (also zynq7) a while back, 
here's what the recipe looked like:

https://github.com/topic-embedded-products/meta-topic/blob/mainline-kernel-4.17/recipes-kernel/linux-zynq/linux-mainline.bb

this may help you get started.
