I'm building for ARM using the default configuration of the Angstrom
distribution (2012.05) configured using the Angstrom setup scripts. I'm not
using meta-systemd.
I've managed to get the timer firing, what seems to have helped is adding
Wantedby to the timers unit file.
[Unit]
Description=A Periodic check
[Timer]
RemainAfterExit=Yes
OnStartupSec=10s
OnUnitActiveSec=60s
[Install]
WantedBy=basic.target
I appreciate you pointing out my error in the bb file, I will change
${base_libdir} to ${systemd_unitdir}.
Wayne
