How to change the PREFERRED_VERSION for u-boot?

[tonybouvet]

I'm currently in an internship and i would to change the PREFERRED_VERSION_u-boot for a yocto project but i don't understand how i can change the file "imx-base.inc".

I work on a imx6sxsabresd.

So if someone would have some advices for me, i would be very grateful to him.

Hello Tony Bouvet,

I would recommend creating a new layer with a new machine and editing the configurations for that machine.

There is information on this on the Yocto Project Development Manual

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.4/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#platdev-newmachine

Changing the original files may work but changes are not tracked and will be lost if you sync the repos again.

I hope this information helps!
