Here's another question:

When I build for MACHINE=imx7s-warp, should meta-raspberrypi's linux-firmware recipe be running or not? Is there something in meta-raspberrypi that makes it only run on MACHINE=raspberrypi?

In an OE-RPB based build, it doesn't run. I put a bbwarn statement into the bbappend file's do_install and it didn't output anything.

But when I run it in the "other" distro, meta-raspberrypi's linux-firmware_%.bbappend is running during a warp7 build and outputting the bbwarn from meta-raspberrypi.

Is this expected?

I think this will expand to:

git://uri-in-recipe.git \
git://uri-in-bbappend.git \
git://github-uri-in-bbappend.git \

And since SRCPV is used in the recipe, you’ll need to set SRCREV_FORMAT (I forget the actual variable name) to tell bitbake which repo to base SRCPV on.

Thanks, I'll try and work out what that variable is and how to use it.

For now, I've copied the meta-raspberrypi method and cached the files locally. I'm not sure if that is better or worse.

Cheers,
Ryan.
