alternatively, to avoid touching oe submodule bbclass, openpli.conf could be adjusted like this:
diff --git a/meta-openpli/conf/distro/openpli.conf b/meta-openpli/conf/distro/openpli.conf index bc0556c..7d05ab9 100644 --- a/meta-openpli/conf/distro/openpli.conf +++ b/meta-openpli/conf/distro/openpli.conf @@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ IMAGE_LINK_NAME = "" CACHE ?= "${TMPDIR}/cache/${LIBC}/${MACHINE}" DEPLOY_DIR ?= "${TMPDIR}/deploy/${LIBC}" DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE = "${DEPLOY_DIR}/images/${MACHINE}" +IMGDEPLOYDIR_forcevariable = "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}" VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager = "busybox-mdev" VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_login_manager = "busybox"however I guess default image.bbclass assignment should be weaken indeed, to allow override it in layers
(btw, I somehow thought you can simply override even hard assignment in distro.conf, and it turned out you can't /without forcing/ in this case?)
Very big thanks
