Why would a BSP want to do that? Because in some cases there are multiple choices for the user. For example: for the kernel, the user could choose either the vendor kernel or the upstream kernel. However, sometimes these decisions are "locked" together: i.e. if you want to use the vendor's binary blob for (say) graphics, then you have to use their vendor kernel as well. It's not possible for a user to choose, say, the graphics binary blob but want to use the upstream kernel too. Therefore the BSP ends up with "sets" of configurations which need to be taken collectively instead of piecemeal. I would like to see this functionality added to oe-core so all BSPs could take advantage of this feature without having to duplicate this class per BSP. The class can be found here: https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/blob/master/classes/machine-overrides-extender.bbclass An example of its use can be found here: https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/blob/master/conf/machine/include/imx-base.inc 77239 1 dl9pf 2017-09-29 21:18:11 +0000 +1 ! 77696 2 twoerner 2017-10-19 13:14:51 +0000 Couldn't we just add what we have now, and if it's deemed "not perfect" in the future, provide patches then for improvements? 92465 3 richard.purdie 2022-02-03 16:15:15 +0000 This idea would need discussion. I can see the idea behind it but I'm also not sure this is something we want to encourage in the core. As such I'm rather torn on it but it would need wider discussion. 96868 4 randy.macleod 2023-10-24 14:24:33 +0000 Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99 106462 5 randy.macleod 2026-08-06 15:30:19 +0000 See: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11881#c3
