Can this be done by using/extending OE-Core recipe please ?

I modelled it after the existing RPi recipe:
diff recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-rpi_git.bb
recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-rpi2_git.bb
sorry -- I don't know enough about this to answer your question... Which recipe should I "extend"? Could you please provide more details? Thanks in advance, Steve

sorry -- I don't know enough about this to answer your question... Which recipe should I "extend"? Could you please provide more details? Thanks in advance, Steve

Khem Raj is proposing to use a uboot recipe from oe-core
https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-bsp/u-boot
and extend it with a bbappend to include rpi support. Is that possible?

P.S.: Sorry for this late reply. I'm trying to catch up with some old threads.
