Hello,
I am trying to change the linux-kernel version of Apalis t30 to mainline linux(4.14) using Yocto project.
For that, what I did was at /layers/meta-toradex-tegra/conf/machine/apalis-t30.conf
I added,
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-toradex-mainline"
But, it seems not enough to make image with bitbaking. (Got error during compiling kernel)
Could anyone let me know how to do it with yocto?
Thanks in advance.
Would be interesting to know what exact versions of things you are tying this with. However, this not being a directly supported option you would definitely need adjusting more than just PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel. As an example you may look at our commit introducing mainline support for Apalis TK1:
You would definitely need adjusting KERNEL_DEFCONFIG using tegra_defconfig plus set KERNEL_DEVICETREE to tegra30-apalis-eval.dtb.
I have used following machine.conf, but at 99% of compiling, it has an error regarding backport(4.18-r0) as below.

You probably want to disable backports just like done for the apalis-tk1-mainline machine.
