[yocto] recipe fails to load local files

Tue Nov 18 07:53:56 PST 2014

Thanks Bryan and Alexandru,
This all works now.There were no files starting with zd1211 anywhere
in the system and no package of that name. As soon as I put the
IMAGE_INSTALL reference, it created the files and the packages and
everything is worksing.
Thanks for your helpLachlan

 To expand on Alexandru's question, the first step is to verify that
the library files are now being added to the zd1211-firmware package.
Assuming you are using opkg for package management search in
tmp/deploy/ipk/ for any files named "zd1211-firmware.*ipk". You
should find one named something like zd1211-firmware_1.5-r0_
sama5d3xek.ipk. Open the package up with file-roller and verify that
the lib/firmware directory contains the libraries that you intended
to add to the package. If so, then the package is being built
correctly.

 Once the package is being built correctly, the package needs to be
added to your image. Packages are only added to an image when they
are specifically listed in the image recipe or if it is a required
dependency of a package that has been added to the image. If you
don't already have a .bbappend for the image, you need to create one
in your layer and add the zd1211-firmware package. The .bbappend
needs to follow the same directory structure as the image recipe in
the meta-atmel layer. So for your specific case:

 1. Create the file
~/poky/meta-atmel-lsp/recipes-qt/images/atmel-qt5-demo-image.bbappend,
adding directories as needed for the full path.
 2. Add the following contents to the atmel-qt5-demo-image.bbappend:

 IMAGE_INSTALL += " 
 zd1211-firmware 
 "

 The extra lines and the at the end of the line is there to make sure
two package names don't get merged together when IMAGE_INSTALL gets
built.

 3. If you are not using the PR service
(http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#working-with-a-pr-service),
also add the following to your .bbappend:

 PR = "r1"

 otherwise you may not see your change in the final image.

 4. Re-build atmel-qt5-demo-image. You should now see your library
files in the final image.

 Regards,
 Bryan

 After you make that change and rebuild
