The FILESPATH variable needs to mention that it is extended automatically using the overrides from FILESOVERRIDES. I'd also suggest an example is added, for example, if you put: "file://defconfig" into SRC_URI, then have the directory structure: files/defconfig files/MACHINEA/defconfig files/MACHINEB/defconfig then MACHINE=MACHINEA will use the file from files/MACHINEA, MACHINE=MACHINEB will use the one from files/MACHINEB and any other machine would use the one from files/. 82668 1 srifenbark 2019-01-03 23:39:57 +0000 Richard, Look at https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-FILESPATH for updates to FILESPATH. I am holding off on FILESOVERRIDES until FILESPATH is good. Thanks, Scott 83009 2 richard.purdie 2019-02-14 16:37:03 +0000 Scott, I think to make most sense the ordering needs tweaking. Can you move the last two paragraphs ("The default value for the ..." and "The FILESPATH variable is automatically ") before the example? This is because the example uses FILESOVERRIDES as well. If you do that I think this is good. Cheers, Richard 83021 3 srifenbark 2019-02-15 18:23:32 +0000 Richard, See https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-FILESPATH for the re-ordering. I also added a bit to the front of the https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-FILESOVERRIDES variable. Let me know if all this is good and I will close the bug out. Thanks, Scott 83026 4 richard.purdie 2019-02-16 10:37:45 +0000 Looks good to me, I'd just add a comment to FILESOVERRIDES to see FILESPATH for an example of how it works. 83036 5 srifenbark 2019-02-19 01:03:05 +0000 Richard, See https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-FILESOVERRIDES for the reference to the FILESPATH description. I am going to set this to RESOLVED and put the doc flag to "done." Thanks, Scott
