Yocto had (has?) a mess of implicit dependencies in host tools as well as odd dependencies between packages. Couple that with students' not documenting exact versions in the RISC-V port and my needing tools from newer versions... It was far easier for me to strip down my application and jam it through spike with the proxy kernel than debugging the Yocto build process.
But now that the RISC-V tools are stabilizing, the Yocto (or whatever it's full name is) system may be more useful.
