I am having some trouble attempting to create Kernel patches as per the Yocto Project Development Manual, section 5.10.3. Creating the Patch: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1.1/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#creating-the-patch
When I get to the stage that says: > Stage and commit your changes: These Git commands display the modified > file, stage it, and then commit the file: > $ git status I get the response: $ git status fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git I have a rpi-layer (taken from ) which I have generated binaries for the RasperyPi 3 from. I wanted to modify a couple of kernel modules to add support for a Quectel EC25 module. I located the relevant module code and modified it in my temporary source code area: ~/work/rpi-layer/build/tmp/work/cortexa7hf-neon-vfpv4-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-libc-headers/4.4-r0/linux-4.4/drivers/usb/serial I guess there is something goofy about the way the raspberrypi layer works and this is actually a special kernel build which is not held in a git repository? If that is the case, why can I a .gitignore file in the ..linux-libc-headers/4.4-r0/linux-4.4 directory? I could create a git patch by hand for the next stage but it would be much easier to modify a clone of the correct repository. Can anyone spot my obvious mistake? Regards, -- Thomas A. F.
