hello every one,
I am trying to port kernel by adding new device tree. I know I can modify an old file to do the porting, but I want to have a new file (with a new name), so I need to patch the arc/arm/boot/dts/Makefile to include my dts file. I use .bbappend file to patch Makefile and copy my dts file to dts directory. If I bitbake the image first time, the patch fails, if I bitbake it again, the patch is successful. Is there anyway to path it successfully the first time? following is the error message I got for the first pass:
