Hi,

I came across a scenario, which does not seem too strange, but I am not sure how this can be handled with OE/YP. (just nasty hacks with SSTATE)

1) Company A provides an SDK to to Company B - no source code provided
2) Company B provides a "binary" back to Company A - no source code povided
3) Company A integrates this "binary" back into some project and bitbakes the image

Ideally Company B does not just provide a "binary" executable/library, but a package e.g. ipk.

Company A could provide an extensible SDK and Company B could create a package of their stuff with it.

Now comes the question: "Is it possible for Company A to add a package (no source code available) back into a project and bitbake this?
If yes, how?"

The advantage would be that Company B would be forced to bitbake it (with the additional checks done by OE/YP) and not just compile something somehow with a "classic" SDK and ship it.

Regards,

Robert
