Dear @flatz,
The modification I made on this quick test was not on the inc file on my custom-layer. It was on the generic one.
I did some tests on my side to get things working for you. What I’ve done was to change a few things to ensure that there were no duplicates and no file conflicts. My folder structure looks like this:
meta-test-dts tree
.
├── conf
│ ├── layer.conf
│ └── machine
│ ├── colibri-imx7-nand.conf
│ ├── include
│ │ └── my-colibri-imx7.inc
│ └── my-colibri-imx7.conf

│ └── imx7-my-colibri.dtsi
└── linux-toradex%.bbappend
8 directories, 11 files
It has basically all your files but I’ve created a conf file called my-colibri-imx7.conf. Therefore, I’d compile it with: MACHINE ?= my-colibri-imx7 on the local.conf file.
I’ve then copied the colibri-imx7-nand.conf from meta-freescale-3rdparty and changed this line:
MACHINEOVERRIDES =. "my-colibri-imx7:"
Then, on the my-colibri-imx7-conf I had only:
# cope with renamed machine file in meta-freescale-3rdparty
require conf/machine/colibri-imx7-nand.conf
And after all, it worked on my side, so I put all this folder structure here:
https://share.toradex.com/euh7nlzi9vpj87t
Can you please test it?
I’m also including my local.conf here:
#
# This file is your local configuration file and is where all local user settings
# are placed. The comments in this file give some guide to the options a new user
# to the system might want to change but pretty much any configuration option can
# be set in this file. More adventurous users can look at local.conf.extended
# which contains other examples of configuration which can be placed in this file
# but new users likely won't need any of them initially.
#
# Lines starting with the '#' character are commented out and in some cases the
# default values are provided as comments to show people example syntax. Enabling
# the option is a question of removing the # character and making any change to the
# variable as required.
#
# Machine Selection
#
# You need to select a specific machine to target the build with. These are the
# machines which target the Toradex Apalis, Colibri and Verdin computer on
# module families:
#
#MACHINE ?= "apalis-imx6"
#MACHINE ?= "apalis-imx8"
#MACHINE ?= "apalis-tk1"
#
#MACHINE ?= "colibri-imx6"
#MACHINE ?= "colibri-imx6ull"
#MACHINE ?= "colibri-imx6ull-emmc"
#MACHINE ?= "colibri-imx7"
MACHINE ?= "my-colibri-imx7"
#MACHINE ?= "colibri-imx7-emmc"
#MACHINE ?= "colibri-imx8x"
#
#MACHINE ?= "verdin-imx8mm"
#MACHINE ?= "verdin-imx8mp"
#
# There are also a selection of emulated machines available which can boot and run
# in the QEMU emulator:
#
#MACHINE ?= "qemuarm"
#MACHINE ?= "qemumips"
#MACHINE ?= "qemuppc"
#MACHINE ?= "qemux86"
#MACHINE ?= "qemux86-64"
#
# Where to place downloads
#
# During a first build the system will download many different source code tarballs
# from various upstream projects. This can take a while, particularly if your network
# connection is slow. These are all stored in DL_DIR. When wiping and rebuilding you
# can preserve this directory to speed up this part of subsequent builds. This directory
# is safe to share between multiple builds on the same machine too.
#
# The default is a downloads directory under TOPDIR which is the build directory.
#
DL_DIR ?= "/home/yocto/yp-downloads"
#
# Where to place shared-state files
#
# BitBake has the capability to accelerate builds based on previously built output.
# This is done using "shared state" files which can be thought of as cache objects
# and this option determines where those files are placed.
#
# You can wipe out TMPDIR leaving this directory intact and the build would regenerate
# from these files if no changes were made to the configuration. If changes were made
# to the configuration, only shared state files where the state was still valid would
# be used (done using checksums).
#
# The default is a sstate-cache directory under TOPDIR.
#
SSTATE_DIR ?= "/home/yocto/yp-sstatecache"
ACCEPT_FSL_EULA = "1"
#
# Where to place the build output
#
# This option specifies where the bulk of the building work should be done and
# where BitBake should place its temporary files and output. Keep in mind that
# this includes the extraction and compilation of many applications and the toolchain
# which can use Gigabytes of hard disk space.
#
# The default is a tmp directory under TOPDIR.
#
#TMPDIR = "${TOPDIR}/tmp"
#
# Where to place images and sw packages
#
# This places the build output in parallel to build and layers thus
# if you have several build directories you need to adjust deploy
# to something unique, e.g. "${TOPDIR}/../deploy_fb" "${TOPDIR}/../deploy_x11"
DEPLOY_DIR = "${TOPDIR}/deploy"
#
# Package Management configuration
#
# This variable lists which packaging formats to enable. Multiple package backends
# can be enabled at once and the first item listed in the variable will be used
# to generate the root filesystems.
# Options are:
# - 'package_deb' for debian style deb files
# - 'package_ipk' for ipk files are used by opkg (a debian style embedded package manager)
# - 'package_rpm' for rpm style packages
# E.g.: PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm package_deb package_ipk"
# We default to ipk:
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_ipk"
#
# SDK target architecture
#
# This variable specifies the architecture to build SDK items for and means
# you can build the SDK packages for architectures other than the machine you are
# running the build on (i.e. building i686 packages on an x86_64 host).
# Supported values are i686 and x86_64
#SDKMACHINE ?= "i686"
#
# Extra image configuration defaults
#
# The EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES variable allows extra packages to be added to the generated
# images. Some of these options are added to certain image types automatically. The
# variable can contain the following options:
# "dbg-pkgs" - add -dbg packages for all installed packages
# (adds symbol information for debugging/profiling)
# "src-pkgs" - add -src packages for all installed packages
# (adds source code for debugging)
# "dev-pkgs" - add -dev packages for all installed packages
# (useful if you want to develop against libs in the image)
# "ptest-pkgs" - add -ptest packages for all ptest-enabled packages
# (useful if you want to run the package test suites)
# "tools-sdk" - add development tools (gcc, make, pkgconfig etc.)
# "tools-debug" - add debugging tools (gdb, strace)
# "eclipse-debug" - add Eclipse remote debugging support
# "tools-profile" - add profiling tools (oprofile, lttng, valgrind)
# "tools-testapps" - add useful testing tools (ts_print, aplay, arecord etc.)
# "debug-tweaks" - make an image suitable for development
# e.g. ssh root access has a blank password
# There are other application targets that can be used here too, see
# meta/classes/image.bbclass and meta/classes/core-image.bbclass for more details.
# We default to enabling the debugging tweaks.
# package-management deploys the package meta data of deployed packeges
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= "debug-tweaks package-management"
#
# Additional image features
#
# The following is a list of additional classes to use when building images which
# enable extra features. Some available options which can be included in this variable
# are:
# - 'buildstats' collect build statistics
# - 'image-mklibs' to reduce shared library files size for an image
# - 'image-prelink' in order to prelink the filesystem image
# NOTE: if listing mklibs & prelink both, then make sure mklibs is before prelink
# NOTE: mklibs also needs to be explicitly enabled for a given image, see local.conf.extended
USER_CLASSES ?= "buildstats image-mklibs image-prelink"
#
# Runtime testing of images
#
# The build system can test booting virtual machine images under qemu (an emulator)
# after any root filesystems are created and run tests against those images. It can also
# run tests against any SDK that are built. To enable this uncomment these lines.
# See classes/test{image,sdk}.bbclass for further details.
#IMAGE_CLASSES += "testimage testsdk"
#TESTIMAGE_AUTO_qemuall = "1"
#
# Interactive shell configuration
#
# Under certain circumstances the system may need input from you and to do this it
# can launch an interactive shell. It needs to do this since the build is
# multithreaded and needs to be able to handle the case where more than one parallel
# process may require the user's attention. The default is iterate over the available
# terminal types to find one that works.
#
# Examples of the occasions this may happen are when resolving patches which cannot
# be applied, to use the devshell or the kernel menuconfig
#
# Supported values are auto, gnome, xfce, rxvt, screen, konsole (KDE 3.x only), none
# Note: currently, Konsole support only works for KDE 3.x due to the way
# newer Konsole versions behave
#OE_TERMINAL = "auto"
# By default disable interactive patch resolution (tasks will just fail instead):
PATCHRESOLVE = "noop"
#
# Disk Space Monitoring during the build
#
# Monitor the disk space during the build. If there is less that 1GB of space or less
# than 100K inodes in any key build location (TMPDIR, DL_DIR, SSTATE_DIR), gracefully
# shutdown the build. If there is less that 100MB or 1K inodes, perform a hard abort
# of the build. The reason for this is that running completely out of space can corrupt
# files and damages the build in ways which may not be easily recoverable.
# It's necesary to monitor /tmp, if there is no space left the build will fail
# with very exotic errors.

#
# Shared-state files from other locations
#
# As mentioned above, shared state files are prebuilt cache data objects which can
# used to accelerate build time. This variable can be used to configure the system
# to search other mirror locations for these objects before it builds the data itself.
#
# This can be a filesystem directory, or a remote url such as http or ftp. These
# would contain the sstate-cache results from previous builds (possibly from other
# machines). This variable works like fetcher MIRRORS/PREMIRRORS and points to the
# cache locations to check for the shared objects.
# NOTE: if the mirror uses the same structure as SSTATE_DIR, you need to add PATH
# at the end as shown in the examples below. This will be substituted with the
# correct path within the directory structure.

# Qemu configuration

# By default qemu will build with a builtin VNC server where graphical output can be
# seen. The two lines below enable the SDL backend too. By default libsdl2-native will
# be built, if you want to use your host's libSDL instead of the minimal libsdl built
# by libsdl2-native then uncomment the ASSUME_PROVIDED line below.

#
# Hash Equivalence
#
# Enable support for automatically running a local hash equivalence server and
# instruct bitbake to use a hash equivalence aware signature generator. Hash
# equivalence improves reuse of sstate by detecting when a given sstate
# artifact can be reused as equivalent, even if the current task hash doesn't
# match the one that generated the artifact.
#
# A shared hash equivalent server can be set with "<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>" format
#
#BB_HASHSERVE = "auto"

# KERNEL_CLASSES_append = " toradex-fitimage"
# KERNEL_IMAGETYPE_forcevariable = "${@'zImage' if d.getVar('TORADEX_FLASH_TYPE') == 'rawnand' else 'fitImage'}"

# track the version of this file when it was generated. This can safely be ignored if
# this doesn't mean anything to you.
