Description Ning Zhang 2013-06-18 09:09:59 UTC 
poky: master: 1dd643b142c69ac9035e29bff11d02201638dc65

steps:
1. create a new bsp layer.
   yocto-bsp create myqemux86 qemu  (with all default options)
2. add "meta-myqemux86" to conf/bblayers.conf, such as below:
BBLAYERS ?= " \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta-yocto \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
  /home/yocto/20130618/meta-myqemux86 \
"

BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE ?= " \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta-yocto \
  "

3. input "yocto-kernel config add myqemux86 CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y" to add a new configuration, it pass.

But, if in step2, set BBLAYERS behind BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE, then step3 will fail.

conf/bblayers.conf

BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE ?= " \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta-yocto \
  "

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta-yocto \
  /home/yocto/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
  /home/yocto/20130618/meta-myqemux86 \
"

execute: "yocto-kernel config add myqemux86 CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y"
result is:
Unable to find the BSP layer for machine myqemux86.
Please make sure it is listed in bblayers.conf

I think since this is a config file, there should not be any dependance between different parameters.
