Description Liu Song 2017-06-07 10:41:09 UTC 
I am trying to define a BOOTDEV variable, which is referenced another variable "BOOT_PARTITION", the code just shows as bellow:

file: poky/build/conf/local.conf

# Boot device Selection
BOOTDEV = "${BOOT_PARTITION}"

and, I will export BOOT_PARTITION=/dev/sda2, then run bitbake.
But it seems that BOOTDEV still be empty.
