i remember wondering about this a looooong time ago, then forgot about it, but in some of the poky linux-yocto kernel .bbappend files, there are sets of individual COMPATIBLE_MACHINE settings:
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_genericx86 = "genericx86" COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_genericx86-64 = "genericx86-64" COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_edgerouter = "edgerouter" COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_beaglebone-yocto = "beaglebone-yocto" COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_mpc8315e-rdb = "mpc8315e-rdb" given that, in the above, the override matches *exactly* the machine name being assigned, how is this functionally different from simply: COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "genericx86|edgerouter|beaglebone-yocto|mpc8315e-rdb" as i read it, an override of the form COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_genericx86 = "genericx86" says simply, "if this machine is a genericx86, then i am compatible with a genericx86". am i missing some subtlety here? is there an actual difference? rday p.s. while on the subject of COMPATIBLE_MACHINE, i remember noting some time back the two aesthetic forms of assignments in use: ... linux-yocto-rt_5.2.bb:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "(qemux86|qemux86-64|qemuarm|qemuarmv5|qemuarm64|qemuppc|qemumips)" linux-yocto_5.2.bb:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "qemuarm|qemuarmv5|qemuarm64|qemux86|qemuppc|qemumips|qemumips64|qemux86-64|qemuriscv64" linux-yocto-dev.bb:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "(qemuarm|qemux86|qemuppc|qemumips|qemumips64|qemux86-64|qemuriscv64)" ... as in, some use parentheses, some not. just a coding style thing. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
