The Yocto 4.1 release (fall 2022), also codenamed “Langdale” introduces a couple of changes.
The following errors and fixes have appeared while attempting to update a meta-layer to the current release.
Error message:
ERROR: Layer meta-amateurradio is not compatible with the core layer which only supports these series: langdale (layer is compatible with kirkstone)
Explanation:
Each layer must declare the list of releases it is compatible with, to
safeguard against mismatched configurations. See the upstream documentation
about LAYERSERIES_COMPAT.
Because we’re working with new Yocto versions, we’ll have to manually change
the list of the compatible releases of the layer, inside the layer.conf file.
Fix:

Explanation:
The linux-firmware-rpidistro package provided by the meta-raspberrypi layer has
components licensed under more restrictive terms. This license must be explicitly
enabled.
