John, you were close. Here's an example from my local.conf: PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-wandboard = "3.10.17" SRCBRANCH_pn-linux-wandboard = "wandboard_imx_3.10.17_1.0.0_beta_test" SRCREV_pn-linux-wandboard = "4299c87fd4d46fd786d1600c57986b1fe164138a" You may want to double-check if your SRCBRANCH override really did work as you expected. I think you need the "_pn-". -Robin _______________________________________________ meta-freescale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-freescale
