Re: Appending an existing machine .conf file

Hello, 

 you can customize QB_OPT_APPEND by removing options you don't want, e.g.

QB_OPT_APPEND_remove = "-device usb-tablet"

and add your own after.

But maybe a lazy operator in the original conf file would be more suitable.

Greetings Yocto,

I'm interested in assigning custom config settings for machine type qemuarm.

I tried a method suggested in this thread
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/message/38359 by Ayoub Zaki, he
suggested defining the following in local.conf

> include conf/machine/${MACHINE}-extra.conf

However, this doesn't work for me because quemuarm.conf in poky/meta
**assigns** its variables, e.g.,

> QB_OPT_APPEND = "-device VGA,edid=on"
> QB_OPT_APPEND += "-device qemu-xhci -device usb-tablet -device usb-kbd"

So that if I define a value for this, it will be overwritten.

Is there another method for achieving this? If not I could submit a
patch to change poky's definitions to "??" assignments.

Cheers,
--Mike
