Provides an easy means to work on developing applications and system components with the build system. For example to "modify" the source for an existing recipe: $ devtool modify -x pango /home/projects/pango Parsing recipes..done. NOTE: Fetching pango... NOTE: Unpacking... NOTE: Patching... NOTE: Source tree extracted to /home/projects/pango NOTE: Recipe pango now set up to build from /home/paul/projects/pango The pango source is now extracted to /home/paul/projects/pango, managed in git, with each patch as a commit, and a bbappend is created in the workspace layer to use the source in /home/paul/projects/pango when building. Additionally, you can add a new piece of software: $ devtool add pv /home/projects/pv NOTE: Recipe /path/to/workspace/recipes/pv/pv.bb has been automatically created; further editing may be required to make it fully functional The latter uses recipetool to create a skeleton recipe and again sets up a bbappend to use the source in /home/projects/pv when building. Having done a "devtool modify", can also write any changes to the external git repository back as patches next to the recipe: $ devtool update-recipe mdadm Parsing recipes..done. NOTE: Removing patch mdadm-3.2.2_fix_for_x32.patch NOTE: Removing patch gcc-4.9.patch NOTE: Updating recipe mdadm_3.3.1.bb [YOCTO #6561] [YOCTO #6653] [YOCTO #6656] (From OE-Core rev: 716d9b1f304a12bab61b15e3ce526977c055f074) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton <paul.eggleton@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> |

Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
=====================
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components
should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake:
bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto:
poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If
in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
repository.
openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix
of oe-core and poky-specific files.
