Kernel selection using yocto

linux-kernel, yocto

Solution

Select which kernel to build in your machine configuration, see BSP manual and for example stackoverflow question

Basically, for selecting kernel you can add

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "my-kernel-recipe"

To your `mymachine.conf`.

Problem

I am building images for i.MX board using Yocto. My requirement is to build specific kernel for the board. After downloading from Freescale Yocto repository site, I could see recipes for multiple kernels. Can you guide me to understand how yocto will decide which kernel to build. I mean where Yocto configured to build specific kernel out of the available kernel recipes?
