I would say that MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS wins, so does it make any sense to define both? [1] https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/beaglebone-yocto.conf 96672 1 kexin.hao 2023-10-11 13:53:13 +0000 It makes no sense to put 'kernel-devicetree' into both MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS and MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS. I can make a patch to drop it from MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS. But since the 'kernel-modules' is not essential for booting the machine, it should be set in MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS. And the 'kernel-image' and 'kernel-devicetree' are essential for the machine to boot and should be set in MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS. 96679 2 pokylinux 2023-10-12 08:04:01 +0000 What if you want to build a small image like a core-image-minimal and would like to have kernel-modules inside? With MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS = "kernel-modules kernel-devicetree" they will not be added, but with MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS they will be added. What would you suggest? 96683 3 kexin.hao 2023-10-12 12:53:07 +0000 The 'kernel-modules' is not essential for booting the machine, so it is set in the MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS. This is consistent with all other machines (qemus, genericx86). We can't includes all the packages in core-image-minimal image. If you indeed want to include the 'kernel-modules' in your core-image-minimal image, you should modify your conf/local.conf by adding 'IMAGE_INSTALL:append = "kernel-modules". 96687 4 randy.macleod 2023-10-12 14:43:31 +0000 Robert, does Kevin's explanation help. 96697 5 pokylinux 2023-10-13 06:52:25 +0000 Yes, this explanation helps. Thanks! 96744 6 randy.macleod 2023-10-19 15:01:40 +0000 Robert, it seems you got the info you need so I'm closing the bug. 96775 7 pokylinux 2023-10-24 10:27:29 +0000 I guess Kevin should make a patch as indicated above: "It makes no sense to put 'kernel-devicetree' into both MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS and MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS. I can make a patch to drop it from MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS. " 99051 8 pokylinux 2024-05-23 06:39:48 +0000 this seems to be fixed commit 97306ebc00ef3dd7eacab817659d980c29da96ea Author: Kevin Hao <kexin.hao@windriver.com> Date: Tue Jan 2 19:57:08 2024 +0800 beaglebone-yocto: Remove the redundant kernel-devicetree The kernel-devicetree is set in both MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS and MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS. Since it is an essential package for boot, drop the one in MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS.
