How to put libgpiod v1.6(hardknott yocto release) in zeus release

[neuberfran]

Hi,

I have a great knowledge of this tutorial: https://hub.mender.io/t/technexion-pico-pi-imx7/136
As can be seen it goes to Zeus (libgpiod version = 1.4)

I need libgpiod v1.6 in my project to configure pull-up/pull-down

I did the copy procedures, etc... and got the issue ERROR: Layer openembedded-layer is not compatible with the core layer which only supports these series: zeus (layer is compatible with hardknott)

How to solve (psl)

:

Either upgrade your distro to hardknott release or backport the needed recipes to Zeus branch mixing layers across releases is a big no no unless allowed by layer compatible options explicitly

[neuberfran]

@kraj You said: "backport the needed recipes to Zeus branch".

The creator of libgpiod also suggested this to me. I'm a beginner and I don't know how to do this the best way. Could you (please) give me the step by step for me to do this?

e.g.: The creator of libgpiod said he is too busy and can't do it.

[kraj]

start by replacing libgpiod direcrory in zeus with one from master and see how it goes.

I deleted the entire folder coming from hardknott. I put the Zeus folder back in. Finally, I changed the libgpiod folder (as proposed). I got the following error:

ERROR: ParseError at /home/neuberfran/mender-nxp3/build/../sources/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-support/remmina/remmina_1.3.6.bb:18: Could not inherit file classes/mime-xdg.bbclass

[kraj]

did you copy whole meta-openembedded dir ? I suggested only libdpiod recipes

[neuberfran]

@kraj I had actually done this in the first text of this issue (-b zeus). This time I just copied the libgpiod directory which contains 1.6 files (including the files folder)

@kraj
The new meta-openembedded from yocto 3.3 have
remmina_1.4.17.bb file in remmina folder. The zeus have remmina_1.3.6.bb. I change but not Solved. Same issue.
The file
mime-xdg.bbclass doesn't even show up in the mender-nxp project (which works, but with libgpiod v1.4). The mime-xdg.bbclass file only appears in technexion's yocto project for imx7-pico (without the d) and which also only has libgpiodv1.4. You can see in the photo below, result of the find command

Below are the latest errors I've been getting:
(there is also 1 link with libgpiod files for me to manually put on my device)

Not easy:
