pyro branch mfgtool kernel and initramfs build fails

 I am trying to build the mfgtool initramfs and mfgtool kernel from the
pyro branch.

I created my repo by doing this:

$ mkdir fsl-community-bsp-pyro  && cd fsl-community-bsp-pyro/
$  repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b
pyro && repo sync && repo start pyro --all
$  MACHINE=imx6ulevk DISTRO=fslc-framebuffer SDKMACHINE=x86_64 source
setup-environment build-evk

Then, because I need a bit of customization, before I do "bitbake
fsl-image-mfgtool-initramfs", I do:
$ bitbake -c menuconfig mfgtool-linux-imx
... which fails:
NOTE: Your conf/bblayers.conf has been automatically updated.

$

Is this supposed to work? How do I fix this? What is this strange
dependency that is not present? morty seems to work, as well as the
official fsl-arm-yocto-bsp imx-4.1.15_1.0.0-ga branch from NXP.

TIA

I think this has been broken for awhile and is caused by the MLPREFIX
variable being set to "mfgtool-" in linux-mfgtool.inc.

I was able to get around this issue by just removing the:

    e.data.setVar("MLPREFIX", "mfgtool-")

line from linux-mfgtool.inc. Pretty hacky... but it seems to work, I
was able to compile the kernel and get mfgtool going. I think the
right solution would be to use the KERNEL_PACAKGE_NAME which is now
available in sumo...

Marc, Thank you very much for the response. This got me much further
running 'bitbake -c menuconfig mfgtool-linux-imx' until this happened:
WARNING: mfgtool-linux-imx-4.1.15-r0 do_fetch: Failed to fetch URL
file://defconfig, attempting MIRRORS if available
ERROR: mfgtool-linux-imx-4.1.15-r0 do_fetch: Fetcher failure: Unable to
find file file://defconfig anywhere. The paths that were searched were:
... (all directories under source/meta-freescale/recipes-kernel/... )

Can it be that that prefix is in fact needed? What else could be the
problem? I can't get an initramfs or mfgtool kernel built for 4.1.15 with
any method so far! TIA.

I see.

bitbake complains because it cannot find the defconfig file. Try
creating a directory named linux-imx-mfgtool (or maybe
mfgtool-linux-imx?) and placing a copy of
recipes-kernel/linux/linux-imx-4.1.15/imx/defconfig in it... that
might solve your problem.

Good luck!
