This looks like a bug with Yocto. Could you confirm? We'll be happy to test any patches. 73364 1 sgw 2017-05-18 19:04:35 +0000 This is clearly a duplicate of 11120, there is some work-arounds available in that bug's comments, but the base issue is devtool may need to know more about the kernel and kernelsrc.bbclass (or kernelsrc.bb class needs to know about devtool)! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 11120 *** 73366 2 lixin.yao 2017-05-18 19:20:41 +0000 Thanks for the quick resolution! We'll look into the solution in the other bug.
