I saw this message thread ( https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/61257317 )  and wondering how can I get this yocto compatible  layer  for marwell kirkwood ?
I want to build a linux ketnel for marwell kirk wood  ( using the sheevaplug.conf for machine) using yocto 2.7.3
I down loaded this layer ( https://github.com/kelvinlawson/meta-kirkwood )   this is opnembedded based , however upon building in yocto  it failed with the following message

Entering directory `/home/jojan.vazhaeparampil/workspace/distro/build_zion/tmp/work-shared/sheevaplug/kernel-source'
|   GEN     /home/jojan.vazhaeparampil/workspace/distro/build_zion/tmp/work/sheevaplug-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-kirkwood/2.6.35-rc1-r14/build/Makefile

| ERROR: oe_runmake failed

When I checked the "sheevaplug/kernel-source' directory it is empty ?

meta-kirkwood is kind of stale, last commit was 7 years, 9 months ago, 
perhaps look around for another machine layer or fix this one

I also see that there's only a kernel recipe. IIRC, kirkwood devices are
supported in upstream linux, so you're probably fine using linux-yocto,
copy paste and slightly modify the machine configuration files if need
be and start from there instead of using this ultra old Linux kernel
(come on... 2.6?).

Good luck :)
