Hi guys,
It would appear I can use a local directory, repository or a custom tarball URL... but not a local tarball?
If my kernel src is in say buildroot/boards/company/product/kernel.tar.bz how do I tell Buildroot to use it?
I'm betting I've missed something obvious...
Thanks for your time,
-Bill

Use file:// as URL prefix to point to a local file...
Best regards,
Thomas

Thank you sir.
That was actually one of the first things I tried:
"file://board/company/product/kernel.tar.bz"
which doesn't work. I also tried ../ and ../../
With your suggestion I went back and tried again:
"file://../../../board/company/product/kernel.tar.bz"
Does the trick...
I knew there must be a simple solution.
Thanks again,
-Bill

You can do away with the relative paths using a make variable like TOPDIR:
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_TARBALL_LOCATION="file://$(TOPDIR)/board/company/product/kernel.tar.bz"
