I always start with

devtool modify <package>

This sets-up the workspace,  puts the package source code in workspace/sources, inits git, etc.

Subject: [yocto] devtool question/issue

Hi,

I've been following along on this youtube video created by a Yocto developer:

https://youtu.be/nqHylLP2NmA?t=1592<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FnqHylLP2NmA%3Ft%3D1592&data=04%7C01%7Cgary%40missionsecure.com%7C329a2b43d61447cffd8008d8ca3b7be6%7Cf0ca9611f13f4dc98e1b119172b8ec5d%7C0%7C0%7C637481704140380417%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=0RQV%2B6iZPxU1yiO0UZelJRYUobYziChOGr1OI41O%2BEI%3D&reserved=0>

I can reproduce everything presented until it comes to using devtool (as shown at the time index in the link given above). When attempting to run:

devtool add git://blah-blah-gitrepo

I get the error:


ERROR: workspace layer not set up

My understanding from the documentation is that the "workspace" layer gets created (if it doesn't exist) when running devtool with a command such as add.

Since I'm new at using Yocto, it's likely that I"m missing something fundamental here.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated
