Adding custom executable in Rootfs for T1040RDB

[pratik_vadher]

Hi, 

I am trying to build my own customized rootfs using Yocto. I created a custom executable of Helloworld using extracted toolchain from SDK using command powerpc-fsl-linux-gcc --sysroot=$SDKTARGETSYSROOT helloworld.c. 

Now as instructed in several discussions I included the executable in mergefile folder in source files. And added IMAGE_INSTALL += "merge-files" in the recipe file. 

However when I try to compile the image using bitbake I get the following error:

ERROR: QA Issue: merge-files: Recipe inherits the allarch class, but has packaged architecture-specific binaries [arch]
WARNING: QA Issue: /home/root/a.out_merge-files contained in package merge-files requires libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4), but no providers found in its RDEPENDS [file-rdeps]

Hello Pratik Vadher,

I didn't reproduce your problem. 

Please put a.out_merge-files in sources/meta-freescale/recipes-extended/merge-files/merge-files/merge, add 'IMAGE_INSTALL += "merge-files"' into rootfs recipe, then run the following commands.

$ bitbake merge-files

$bitbake <rootfs_image_type>

If your problem remains, please add the following in /home/yiping.wang/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/sources/meta-freescale/recipes-extended/merge-files/merge-files_1.0.bb.

do_package_qa (){
}

Then run 

$ bitbake merge-files

$bitbake <rootfs_image_type>

Thanks,

Yiping

Thanks Yiping, it worked adding 

do_package_qa (){

} 

worked. May I know the reason why it was not working before and why it worked now?

Add function do_package_qa to do nothing to override the original one.
