Add new layer and recipes

[MickaelDelanoe]

Hello,

I would like to add a new Layer (and recipes) to the existing project. I would like add meta-iot-cloud layer (https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/krogoth/layer/meta-iot-cloud/) and a personnel recipes python-aws-iot-devices-sdk_%.bbappend

So, I tried to modify kas/iot2050.yml to add layer :

  isar:
    url: https://github.com/ilbers/isar
    refspec: 03124cca669f50b682336a0bdf4ede5a4238e144
    layers:
      meta: meta-iot-cloud
    patches:

And, I updated the cloned project (v01.01.01) by:

1. Adding a recipes recipes-aws in the clonned project.
2. Adding python-aws-iot-devices-sdk_%.bbappend to IMAGE_INSTALL

But I got the error :

ERROR: No recipes available for:
  /repo/recipes-aws/python/python-aws-iot-device-sdk_0.1-iot2050-debian.bbappend

Summary: There was 1 ERROR message shown, returning a non-zero exit code.
2021-11-16 09:39:11 - ERROR    - Command returned non-zero exit status 1

Do you know, how can I add meta-iot-cloud layer ?

Best Regards,

Note that meta-iot2050 is not Yocto/OE layer.

I'm not aware of prebuilt debian packages for the AWS IoT Device SDK, so you likely have to remodel the required Yocto recipes into Debian package rules and/or Isar recipes. That can be simple for simple builds (demo/example: https://github.com/ilbers/isar/blob/master/meta-isar/recipes-app/samefile/samefile_2.14.bb).

According previous exemples, I tried the simple following recipe who seem works...

SRC_URI = " \
    git://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-python.git;protocol=https \
    "

SRCREV = "c92908a125bf3ed3b28b33b80c9b10b65fa6d34c"

S = "${WORKDIR}/git"

DEBIAN_BUILD_DEPENDS += "python-dev, python-distutils-extra, openssl"
DEBIAN_DEPENDS = "python3"

inherit dpkg

do_prepare_build[cleandirs] += "${S}/debian"

do_prepare_build() {
    deb_debianize
}

AWSIoTPythonSDK seem well installed on the image after build, burn, boot and import in a debug script on the IOT2050 ...

I will see the real implementation when I would have succeded to add my personnal Python development in the image.
