Can I make a local patch file without commit to the source?

Hi,

In my Yocto build, I want to make a patch file for mx6ullevk.h in meta-freescale/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-imx_2017.03.bb, to customize mtdparts and bootargs as I could not find a simple way to do it using bbapaend, but I got an error of unable to fetch URL from any source because the mx6ullevk.h does have a commit number. Is it possible to do it or not?

How would you do to change u-boot mtdparts, bootcmd and bootargs in Yocto build?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

- jh

Hi jupiter,

You don't need to achieve your goal in this way. I think you need to adjust your thinking.

You can use the standalone mode to operate the u-boot and Linux kernel without doing this in yocto. You can only use yocto to compile the root file system.

About standalone operations, you can read "i.MX_Porting_Guide.pdf" in linux document, or read the link:

Hope above advice is helpful for you!

Have a nice day!

BR,
