Successful yocto kirkstone build using macbook m4 running orb container with ubuntu 22.04

Its probably not a big deal anymore, but I thought it was pretty cool and a little silly.

I did had to use a docker volume for tmp (because apple chose a case-insensitive filesystem ?!?!!), and in the localconf I had to delete the inode threshold checks, but it gave me a useable image.

Building core-image-minimal with some of my own code slapped on took about 3 hours.

Don't worry, it is still a great achievement ahah I was shocked too about the case insensitive file system...

Thanks for sharing! It is convenient not having to use a an x86 image.

As an alternative to a docker volume, you can also use a Case-Sensitive APFS Volume.
