This isn't a problem during normal operation since meta-poky/conf exists, but when you generate the eSDK, meta-poky won't be copied into it because that layer is not in bblayers.conf and thus the error occurs when bitbake first gets run internally during the build system preparation. Since we don't actually need the template config files in the eSDK (we already generate real ones), we should just ensure the value gets set to a reasonable value when building it in order to avoid the error. 68117 1 ross.burton 2016-11-08 17:27:51 +0000 Fixed in oe-core 5ee32191a18013061dfa72e64713a94c5d321496.
