i did figure out a while back that i needed to set at least one of UBOOT_MACHINE or UBOOT_CONFIG, and since i couldn't set the former, clearly, i needed to figure out how to set the latter, i just didn't know what was supposed to go into it. am i just missing it, or is there an actual example of what would go into a UBOOT_CONFIG variable? > Have a look at how we do that (using sandbox_defconfig) in > meta-digi-arm: > > https://github.com/digi-embedded/meta-digi/blob/jethro/meta-digi-arm/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-fw-utils_%25.bbappend > > Hope this helps. ok, will check that out later today, thanks. is there, in fact, any OE/YP documentation that shows a detailed example of how to do that? i'm fairly familiar with the OE/YP manuals, but i don't recall tripping over anything like that. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
