Do you have a branch for that? We're currently using the master branch (meta-arm and meta-arm-bsp) and there are a few issues that can be ironed out: 1) There are dependencies expressed for Python2, without the layer depending on meta-python2. Files: meta-arm-bsp/recipes-devtools/gem5/gem5-native.inc meta-arm-bsp/recipes-devtools/python/python-scons-native_3.0.1.bb meta-arm-bsp/recipes-devtools/python/python-scons_3.0.1.bb Needless to say, it would be even better if the layers could be used without Python2. 2) There are bbappends for packages that do not exist: /poky/meta-arm/meta-arm-bsp/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot_2019.%.bbappend /poky/meta-arm/meta-arm-bsp/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_4.19.bbappen= d Thanks and greetings!
