The following is an example of modifying barebox source code by appending the barebox recipe in meta-phytec. This example is based on the PD15.1.0 release for phyCORE-AM335x, and applies a patch to switch the serial console from UART0 to UART1.
In order to make porting to future releases more seamless, it is recommended that you create your own meta-layer when making changes to the BSP rather than modify the source code directly. For in-depth information on creating a new layer and using bbappend files, section 5.1 of the Yocto project Development Manual is a great reference: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7.1/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#understanding-and-creating-layers
Step-by-step guide
Follow Section 5.1.1 of the Yocto Project Development Manual to create your own layer.
Create the following directories in your custom meta-layer to match the path to the barebox recipe in meta-phytec:
mkdir recipes-bsp/ mkdir recipes-bsp/barebox/ mkdir recipes-bsp/barebox/files/
The following patch modifies arch/arm/dts/am335x-phytec-phycore-som.dtsi. The UART1_rxd and UART1_txd pins are configured with the appropriate pads and the existing UART1 node is configured to have control over these pins. Once UART1 is configured, the standard output path is switched from UART0 to UART1. Download the patch and save it to your meta-layer under recipes-bsp/files/.
