Hi,
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Question 1
I tried using the sdk to build icestorm (a makefile project). The sysroot for rpi3 sdk & rpi4 sdk are
missing a ftdi.h header. The target rpi4 builds icestorm okay. see steps below.
Question 2
What is the procedure to update the meta-raspberrypi repo?
An issue with core-image-sato for rpi3 required adding
vidal@ws009:~/wkg/yocto-zeus-3.0/raspberrypi4/poky/meta-raspberrypi$ git diff

For rpi4 build I made the same in raspberrypi4.conf

Question 3
Why is the header file ftdi.h missing in rpi4 sdk and not used in rpi3 sdk?
