Adding meta-barebox to your build

In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of it.

Assuming the meta-barebox layer exists at the top-level of your yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the location of the meta-barebox layer to bblayers.conf, along with any other layers needed. e.g.:

BBLAYERS ?= " \
    /path/to/yocto/meta \
    /path/to/yocto/meta-poky \
    /path/to/yocto/meta-yocto-bsp \
    /path/to/yocto/meta-barebox \
"

Additional documentation

The barebox layer has its own reference manual with detailed information about its interface and how to use it.
