Are you working off master ?

Since you set the compatibility, it should have been picked. But something
else must be changed in your layers, since if you didn't add
3.4 compatibility via bbappends, it never would have been selected
at all.


Yes, I'm currently working off master. If I add the following
qemuarmhf.conf file, and apply the patch to linux-yocto_3.8.bb, it still
tries to compile linux-yocto_3.4.bb recipe. You should be able to
reproduce this fairly easily at your end, with the current poky master.
I'm not using any additional layers, just the core yocto default layers.


If you are using yocto and poky as the reference distro:

./conf/distro/poky.conf:PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto ?= "3.4%"

Is where you are getting the default to 3.4.

I plan to bump that once we've shaken all the issues out of 3.10.

Cheers,

Bruce

Try 3.8%, you need to match on the version completely, and it is 3.8, not
just 3.8.

Weird, even after setting PREFERRED_VERSION_virtual/linux ="3.8", it still 
picks up linux-yocto_3.4.bb recipe!

What am I failing to set or configure additionally to get it to work, as

[yocto] linux-yocto defaulting to 3.4.52 for new qemuarmhf.conf

2013-08-24 Thread Elvis Dowson
Hi,
  I created a new qemuarmhf.conf, to build using armv7a vfp and neon. 

In the linux-yocto_3.8.bb recipe, I explicitly specified 
SRCREV_machine_qemuarmhf and added qemuarmhf to the list of COMPATIBLE_MACHINES.

For some reason, it still refuses to build using kernel 3.8, and keeps 
defaulting to 3.4.52.

I know I can over-ride it in my local.conf by setting a 
PREFERRED_VERSION_virtual/linux ="3.8" , but I'd like to know what I've missed, 
to get it to work by default, without setting the over-ride in my local.conf.

Thanks!
