Set Custom Hostname in LLDP SDK

[pvsnsubhash]

I want to change the hostname of the LLDP SDK for NXP LX2160ARBD Board. I tried using "hostname" and "hostname_pn-base-files" in local.conf, but after building it shows the default hostname. I even tried creating a base-files recipe with a bbappend to modify hostname and hosts file in my custom layer, even that didn't work.. What else can be done?

If you want to add custom machine in the yocto, you could refer to

Thanks

I have resolved this by using the parameter HOST_NAME = "CUSTOM_HOSTNAME" in the respective distro's bb file, in my case it is ls-image-main. 

I created a ls-image-main.bbappend in my custom layer and added this line in that file and after building the distro recipe, host name change was reflected in the image.
