It looks like you forgot the colon at the end of the path.
Try this:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"

Good eye, but afraid that didn't help (maybe the path was empty
before???). I think the files are getting picked up, since fetch
will fail if change the file name to force a not found error.
What release are you using ? I tested this just last night before
the
1.4 release final RC .. so it definitely still works!
How are you determining that it isn't being picked up?
I believe the SDK is based on Yocto 1.2 / Poky 7.0 -- bitbake is 1.15.2.
kernel.bbclass kernel_do_configure() looks like it only does a make
oldconfig on defconfig...?
Should I expect to see the .cfg files being eppended there?
The .config I end up with doesn't have the definitions from my .cfg
fragment files.
Fragments are processed later in the build procedure. Assuming this
is a linux-yocto based bbappend, they'll be added in the
kernel_configme task, and will modify the base BSP configuration.
That doesn't mean that all the settings will make it to the final
.config, since normal LKC processing and missing dependencies would
drop invalid/incorrect settings.
The SDK .bb inherits directly from kernel & doesn't use linux-yocto.bb. So
listtask doesn't show configme.
I see an addtask for it in linux-yocto.inc, but am guessing that trying to
shoehorn that in on top of the SDK (in my append file) is probably more
trouble than it's worth.
Guess I'm better off trying to figure out how to patch the defconfig?
The ability to use fragments requires that you at least use the linux-yocto
bbclass, it will work with non linux-yocto recipes, but you need to follow the
example in meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto-custom.bb
The 1.2 vintage fragments aren't as feature rich as 1.3 and 1.4, but they
should work to add simple fragment modifications.
I hate to see anyone hacking a defconfig unless nothing else works :)
Thanks for all the help. The skeleton example isn't in 1.2. Based on 1.3 I
tried adding
require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc
to my append, but ran into other errors (looks like it adds 5 tasks including
kernel_configme). Did a brute-force override of do_kernel_checkout() to get around
my 1st error, but then do_patch() failed, so think I'm going to punt & hack
defconfig.
Thanks again for all the help.
Something to look forward to when you can upgrade :)
