I would like to override the checksum for a file without editing the actual bb file. I have my own meta layer and any way to write a bbappened file and can I override the checksum value?
The issue here is the original BB file contains bad checksum for the source file and I need to change it without editing the original file. But at the build time, bitbake should consider the new checksum which I have provided through the bbappend file via my own layer. Is there nay way to do this ?
You should be able to do this in a .bbappend file in your own layer.
Just add
SRC_URI[md5sum] =
SRC_URI[sha256sum] =
in your bbappend-file.
However, you really should update the upstream layer, if the upstream tarball has had their checksum's changed.
