Can you please confirm what version of the build system you are using and what branches of each layer repository you are using? (Basically, what is bitbake printing out).

The crda recipe is from meta-networking - but I can't see any obvious reason in the recipe as to why it wouldn't be buildable, and oddly it's not reporting the reason based on the output you have given.

Comment 2 Ross Burton 2017-11-09 16:24:32 UTC

Did you add meta-networking to bblayers?

Comment 3 Ross Burton 2018-01-04 16:00:36 UTC

As per the meta-raspberrypi README (https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-raspberrypi/tree/README.md) you need to add meta-networking to use the BSP.  meta-networking is where the crda recipe is defined.

Thus closing as not a bug.
