How to get a Yocto build for the DART-MX8M? #6

The only reference I found is this branch morty-imx-4.9.51-var01 I tried the following bblayers set-up:

BBLAYERS = " \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/poky/meta \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/poky/meta-poky \
  \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-openembedded/meta-python \
  \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-swupdate \
  \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-freescale \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-freescale-distro \
  \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-qt5 \
  \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-variscite-fslc \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-variscite-imx \
  \
  ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-walnut \
  \
"

So all of the branches are based on morty the meta-walnut is my branch which more or less adds a image and some bbappends. It looks like the morty branch of meta-freescale is missing some recipes which you are using .bbappends for. So in a naive approach I put those in my meta-walnut which solved the missing base recipe issue. Nevertheless I do feel like I am doing something unintended. I am posting here because I can not find any category for mx8m boards on your forum.

@eranmati thank you very much, looks like I have overlooked it. I guess You do not have much influence on NXP but having those git:// URLs in the manifest makes it impossible to clone this behind a cooperate Proxy. I can fix this but it is inconvenient.

Note that Yocto extensively uses remote git repositories, also when bitbaking. You should set up your firewall to allow it.

@eranmati this is why the MIRRORS variable comes in handy.

MIRRORS += "\
    git://anongit.freedesktop.org/.*     git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/PATH;protocol=https \n \
