You might need to checkout the right version of bitbake to match oe-core. There's a table somewhere to show what the version requirements are but I can't find it right now. Ping me if you need help. Randy 89951 2 ross.burton 2021-04-15 14:37:01 +0000 The table is https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases You are using a newer oe-core with an old Bitbake: don't do that.
