Steps to reproduce. For any machine/configuration. I have tested for NXP imx, using the NXP i.MX Yocto BSP: devtool modify u-boot devtool build -c u-boot devtool build u-boot the last command results in an error to due to do_configure trying to copy the .config from ...u-boot/2024.04/build/.. which is not the correct build directory if devtool is active. The correct directory is ...u-boot/2024.4/u-boot-2024.04... This is due to the fact that in poky/meta/classes-recipe/uboot-config.bbclass: d.setVar('KCONFIG_CONFIG_ROOTDIR', os.path.join(d.getVar("B"), d.getVar("UBOOT_MACHINE").strip())) the "B" var is expanded too early, before the new value set by devtool had a chance to be set. Proposed change which works but might not be the correct way to solve the issue is to change the line to: d.setVar('KCONFIG_CONFIG_ROOTDIR', os.path.join("${B}/", d.getVar("UBOOT_MACHINE").strip())) the exact error is here (notice it is u-boot-imx - which is the name of the recipe in this distro): | cp: cannot stat '/imx/95/tmp/work/imx8mn_lpddr4_evk-poky-linux/u-boot-imx/2024.04/build/imx8mn_evk_defconfig/.config': No such file or directory | WARNING: /imx/95/tmp/work/imx8mn_lpddr4_evk-poky-linux/u-boot-imx/2024.04/temp/run.do_configure.73156:175 exit 1 from 'cp /imx/95/tmp/work/imx8mn_lpddr4_evk-poky-linux/u-boot-imx/2024.04/build/imx8mn_evk_defconfig/.config /imx/95/workspace/sources/u-boot-imx/.config.baseline' | WARNING: Backtrace (BB generated script): | #1: do_configure, /imx/95/tmp/work/imx8mn_lpddr4_evk-poky-linux/u-boot-imx/2024.04/temp/run.do_configure.73156, line 175 | #2: main, /imx/95/tmp/work/imx8mn_lpddr4_evk-poky-linux/u-boot-imx/2024.04/temp/run.do_configure.73156, line 223 99756 1 tim.orling 2024-10-03 14:38:59 +0000 Would you be able to send a patch to not expand the variables? 99780 2 5070 iuliuv 2024-10-05 18:01:00 +0000 Created attachment 5070 patch for scarthgap 99781 3 5071 iuliuv 2024-10-05 18:01:33 +0000 Created attachment 5071 patch for master 99782 4 iuliuv 2024-10-05 18:03:28 +0000 I've attached the proposed patch formatted for master and for scarthgap.
