I saw this message thread (

how can I get this yocto compatible  layer  for marwell kirkwood ?
I want to build a linux ketnel for marwell kirk wood  ( using the
sheevaplug.conf for machine) using yocto 2.7.3
I down loaded this layer
(https://github.com/kelvinlawson/meta-kirkwood)   this is opnembedded
based , however upon building in yocto  it failed with the following
message

When I checked the "sheevaplug/kernel-source' directory it is empty ?

meta-kirkwood is kind of stale, last commit was 7 years, 9 months ago,
perhaps look around for another machine layer or fix this one

I also see that there's only a kernel recipe. IIRC, kirkwood devices are
supported in upstream linux, so you're probably fine using linux-yocto,
copy paste and slightly modify the machine configuration files if need
be and start from there instead of using this ultra old Linux kernel
(come on... 2.6?).

Good luck :)
