yocto: How do I set pc-NRfutil License

Here is my BB file:

python3-nrfutil_6.1.3.bb

This is the license for the project：

Solution

  • It is Other/Proprietary License license type and it is propriatary to NordicSemiconductor.

    So, you need to set:

    LICENSE = "CLOSED"

    and remove LIC_FILES_CHKSUM.

    Or, you can create a custom layer for Nordic recipes containing custom-licenses folder with all their custom license files and then in your layer.conf:

    LICENSE_PATH += "${LAYERDIR}/custom-licenses"

    and in your recipe:

    LICENSE = "<license_file>"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM += "<license_file>;md5=<checksum>"

    I think creating such layer for Nordic is up to their decision, so setting it to CLOSED is the best way to go in your case.
