I have fetched the latest BDK from googlesource master and was working through this codelab. I have the BDK in ~/brillo and have products in ~/products. Building after step 2 gives the following error:

Output will be placed in /home/osterloh/products/homeCloud/out
Building a shadow BDK v10.0.0 . . .

There is a new line added to the project make file which I have commented out and now it builds

# Include any configured 3rd party packages.
#PRODUCT_3RD_PARTY_PACKAGES += $(call cfgtree-get,3rd-party-packages)
