Hi Vipul,

I am online on IRC OFTC #xendevel (https://www.oftc.net/, you need a
registered nickname to join #xendevel).

For development and debugging I find that it is a lot easier to
crosscompile the kernel "by hand", and do a monolithic build, rather
than going through Yocto.

For instance the following builds for me:

cd linux.git
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/cross-compiler
make defconfig
[add printks to drivers/video/fbdev/xen-fbfront.c]
make -j8 Image.gz

And Image.gz boots on Xen as DomU kernel without issues.

Cheers,

Stefano
