Mb build was setup and done under one layer, with “distro” and “bsp“ at the same layer, I wanted to split them up into separate layers inorder to better conform to the Yocto standard…. (Note my kernel builds and runs correctly when split or not split)

When not split “Yocto-check-layer” calls me out for having “distro” and “bsp” in same layer, when I split them I am seeing the following for each new layer:

Can someone explain the errors the script is reporting and how to resolve (these are not seen build the split or non-split images) ?

Is there documentation on the yocto-check-layer script thtat goes over proper use of command line options ?

I have gotten much closer with Yocto-check-layer, down to the same error for both layers, all other tests passing…

Can someone explain what the error means, and what might be causing it  ?
