-The BitBake documentation was migrated from the original DocBook
-format to Sphinx based documentation for the Yocto Project 3.2
-release.
+The Makefile processes manual directories to create HTML, PDF,
+tarballs, etc. Details on how the Makefile work are documented
+inside the Makefile. See that file for more information.
-Additional information related to the Sphinx migration, and guidelines
-for developers willing to contribute to the BitBake documentation can
-be found in the Yocto Project Documentation README file:
+To build a manual, you run the make command and pass it the name
+of the folder containing the manual's contents.
+For example, the following command run from the documentation directory
+creates an HTML and a PDF version of the BitBake User Manual.
+The DOC variable specifies the manual you are making:

+========
+Contains various templates, fonts, and some old PNG files.
-Sphinx is written in Python. While it might work with Python2, for
-obvious reasons, we will only support building the BitBake
-documentation with Python3.
-
-Sphinx might be available in your Linux distro packages repositories,
-however it is not recommend using distro packages, as they might be
-old versions, especially if you are using an LTS version of your
-distro. The recommended method to install Sphinx and all required
-dependencies is to use the Python Package Index (pip).
-
-To install all required packages run:
-
- $ pip3 install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme pyyaml
-
-To build the documentation locally, run:
-
- $ cd documentation
- $ make -f Makefile.sphinx html
-
-The resulting HTML index page will be _build/html/index.html, and you
-can browse your own copy of the locally generated documentation with
-your browser.

+

+ The primary purpose for running BitBake is to produce some kind
+ of output such as a single installable package, a kernel, a software
+ development kit, or even a full, board-specific bootable Linux image,
+ complete with bootloader, kernel, and root filesystem.
+ Of course, you can execute the <filename>bitbake</filename>
+ command with options that cause it to execute single tasks,
+ compile single recipe files, capture or clear data, or simply
+ return information about the execution environment.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This chapter describes BitBake's execution process from start
+ to finish when you use it to create an image.
+ The execution process is launched using the following command
+ form:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake <replaceable>target</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ For information on the BitBake command and its options,
+ see
+ "<link linkend='bitbake-user-manual-command'>The BitBake Command</link>"
+ section.
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ Prior to executing BitBake, you should take advantage of available

+ <title>Parsing the Base Configuration Metadata</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The first thing BitBake does is parse base configuration
+ metadata.
+ Base configuration metadata consists of your project's
+ <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file to determine what
+ layers BitBake needs to recognize, all necessary
+ <filename>layer.conf</filename> files (one from each layer),
+ and <filename>bitbake.conf</filename>.
+ The data itself is of various types:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Recipes:</emphasis>
+ Details about particular pieces of software.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Class Data:</emphasis>
+ An abstraction of common build information
+ (e.g. how to build a Linux kernel).
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Configuration Data:</emphasis>
+ Machine-specific settings, policy decisions,
+ and so forth.
+ Configuration data acts as the glue to bind everything
+ together.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>layer.conf</filename> files are used to
+ construct key variables such as
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BBPATH'><filename>BBPATH</filename></link>
+ and
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BBFILES'><filename>BBFILES</filename></link>.
+ <filename>BBPATH</filename> is used to search for
+ configuration and class files under the
+ <filename>conf</filename> and <filename>classes</filename>
+ directories, respectively.
+ <filename>BBFILES</filename> is used to locate both recipe
+ and recipe append files
+ (<filename>.bb</filename> and <filename>.bbappend</filename>).
+ If there is no <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file,
+ it is assumed the user has set the <filename>BBPATH</filename>
+ and <filename>BBFILES</filename> directly in the environment.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Next, the <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> file is located
+ using the <filename>BBPATH</filename> variable that was
+ just constructed.
+ The <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> file may also include other
+ configuration files using the
+ <filename>include</filename> or
+ <filename>require</filename> directives.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Prior to parsing configuration files, BitBake looks
+ at certain variables, including:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_ENV_WHITELIST'><filename>BB_ENV_WHITELIST</filename></link>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>

+ <listitem><para>
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BITBAKE_UI'><filename>BITBAKE_UI</filename></link>
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ The first four variables in this list relate to how BitBake treats shell
+ environment variables during task execution.
+ By default, BitBake cleans the environment variables and provides tight
+ control over the shell execution environment.
+ However, through the use of these first four variables, you can
+ apply your control regarding the
+ environment variables allowed to be used by BitBake in the shell
+ during execution of tasks.
+ See the
+ "<link linkend='passing-information-into-the-build-task-environment'>Passing Information Into the Build Task Environment</link>"
+ section and the information about these variables in the
+ variable glossary for more information on how they work and
+ on how to use them.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The base configuration metadata is global
+ and therefore affects all recipes and tasks that are executed.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake first searches the current working directory for an
+ optional <filename>conf/bblayers.conf</filename> configuration file.
+ This file is expected to contain a
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BBLAYERS'><filename>BBLAYERS</filename></link>
+ variable that is a space-delimited list of 'layer' directories.
+ Recall that if BitBake cannot find a <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>
+ file, then it is assumed the user has set the <filename>BBPATH</filename>
+ and <filename>BBFILES</filename> variables directly in the environment.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For each directory (layer) in this list, a <filename>conf/layer.conf</filename>
+ file is located and parsed with the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-LAYERDIR'><filename>LAYERDIR</filename></link>
+ variable being set to the directory where the layer was found.
+ The idea is these files automatically set up
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BBPATH'><filename>BBPATH</filename></link>
+ and other variables correctly for a given build directory.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake then expects to find the <filename>conf/bitbake.conf</filename>
+ file somewhere in the user-specified <filename>BBPATH</filename>.
+ That configuration file generally has include directives to pull
+ in any other metadata such as files specific to the architecture,
+ the machine, the local environment, and so forth.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Only variable definitions and include directives are allowed
+ in BitBake <filename>.conf</filename> files.
+ Some variables directly influence BitBake's behavior.
+ These variables might have been set from the environment
+ depending on the environment variables previously
+ mentioned or set in the configuration files.
+ The
+ "<link linkend='ref-bb-variables-glos'>Variables Glossary</link>"
+ chapter presents a full list of variables.

+
+ <para>
+ After parsing configuration files, BitBake uses its rudimentary
+ inheritance mechanism, which is through class files, to inherit
+ some standard classes.
+ BitBake parses a class when the inherit directive responsible
+ for getting that class is encountered.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>base.bbclass</filename> file is always included.
+ Other classes that are specified in the configuration using the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-INHERIT'><filename>INHERIT</filename></link>
+ variable are also included.
+ BitBake searches for class files in a
+ <filename>classes</filename> subdirectory under
+ the paths in <filename>BBPATH</filename> in the same way as
+ configuration files.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A good way to get an idea of the configuration files and
+ the class files used in your execution environment is to
+ run the following BitBake command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake -e > mybb.log
+ </literallayout>
+ Examining the top of the <filename>mybb.log</filename>
+ shows you the many configuration files and class files
+ used in your execution environment.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ You need to be aware of how BitBake parses curly braces.
+ If a recipe uses a closing curly brace within the function and
+ the character has no leading spaces, BitBake produces a parsing
+ error.
+ If you use a pair of curly braces in a shell function, the
+ closing curly brace must not be located at the start of the line
+ without leading spaces.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Here is an example that causes BitBake to produce a parsing
+ error:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ fakeroot create_shar() {
+ cat << "EOF" > ${SDK_DEPLOY}/${TOOLCHAIN_OUTPUTNAME}.sh
+ usage()
+ {
+ echo "test"
+ ###### The following "}" at the start of the line causes a parsing error ######
+ }
+ EOF
+ }
+ </literallayout>
+ Writing the recipe this way avoids the error:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ fakeroot create_shar() {
+ cat << "EOF" > ${SDK_DEPLOY}/${TOOLCHAIN_OUTPUTNAME}.sh
+ usage()
+ {
+ echo "test"
+ ######The following "}" with a leading space at the start of the line avoids the error ######
+ }
+ EOF
+ }
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+ </note>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='locating-and-parsing-recipes'>
+ <title>Locating and Parsing Recipes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ During the configuration phase, BitBake will have set
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BBFILES'><filename>BBFILES</filename></link>.
+ BitBake now uses it to construct a list of recipes to parse,
+ along with any append files (<filename>.bbappend</filename>)
+ to apply.
+ <filename>BBFILES</filename> is a space-separated list of
+ available files and supports wildcards.
+ An example would be:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BBFILES = "/path/to/bbfiles/*.bb /path/to/appends/*.bbappend"
+ </literallayout>
+ BitBake parses each recipe and append file located
+ with <filename>BBFILES</filename> and stores the values of
+ various variables into the datastore.
+ <note>
+ Append files are applied in the order they are encountered in
+ <filename>BBFILES</filename>.
+ </note>
+ For each file, a fresh copy of the base configuration is
+ made, then the recipe is parsed line by line.
+ Any inherit statements cause BitBake to find and
+ then parse class files (<filename>.bbclass</filename>)
+ using
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BBPATH'><filename>BBPATH</filename></link>
+ as the search path.
+ Finally, BitBake parses in order any append files found in
+ <filename>BBFILES</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ One common convention is to use the recipe filename to define
+ pieces of metadata.
+ For example, in <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> the recipe
+ name and version are used to set the variables
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PN'><filename>PN</filename></link> and
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PN = "${@bb.parse.BBHandler.vars_from_file(d.getVar('FILE', False),d)[0] or 'defaultpkgname'}"
+ PV = "${@bb.parse.BBHandler.vars_from_file(d.getVar('FILE', False),d)[1] or '1.0'}"
+ </literallayout>
+ In this example, a recipe called "something_1.2.3.bb" would set
+ <filename>PN</filename> to "something" and
+ <filename>PV</filename> to "1.2.3".
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By the time parsing is complete for a recipe, BitBake
+ has a list of tasks that the recipe defines and a set of
+ data consisting of keys and values as well as
+ dependency information about the tasks.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake does not need all of this information.
+ It only needs a small subset of the information to make
+ decisions about the recipe.
+ Consequently, BitBake caches the values in which it is
+ interested and does not store the rest of the information.
+ Experience has shown it is faster to re-parse the metadata than to
+ try and write it out to the disk and then reload it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Where possible, subsequent BitBake commands reuse this cache of
+ recipe information.
+ The validity of this cache is determined by first computing a
+ checksum of the base configuration data (see
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_HASHCONFIG_WHITELIST'><filename>BB_HASHCONFIG_WHITELIST</filename></link>)
+ and then checking if the checksum matches.
+ If that checksum matches what is in the cache and the recipe
+ and class files have not changed, BitBake is able to use
+ the cache.
+ BitBake then reloads the cached information about the recipe
+ instead of reparsing it from scratch.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Recipe file collections exist to allow the user to
+ have multiple repositories of
+ <filename>.bb</filename> files that contain the same
+ exact package.
+ For example, one could easily use them to make one's
+ own local copy of an upstream repository, but with
+ custom modifications that one does not want upstream.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BBFILES = "/stuff/openembedded/*/*.bb /stuff/openembedded.modified/*/*.bb"
+ BBFILE_COLLECTIONS = "upstream local"
+ BBFILE_PATTERN_upstream = "^/stuff/openembedded/"
+ BBFILE_PATTERN_local = "^/stuff/openembedded.modified/"
+ BBFILE_PRIORITY_upstream = "5"
+ BBFILE_PRIORITY_local = "10"
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ The layers mechanism is now the preferred method of collecting
+ code.
+ While the collections code remains, its main use is to set layer
+ priorities and to deal with overlap (conflicts) between layers.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='bb-bitbake-providers'>
+ <title>Providers</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Assuming BitBake has been instructed to execute a target
+ and that all the recipe files have been parsed, BitBake
+ starts to figure out how to build the target.
+ BitBake looks through the <filename>PROVIDES</filename> list
+ for each of the recipes.
+ A <filename>PROVIDES</filename> list is the list of names by which
+ the recipe can be known.
+ Each recipe's <filename>PROVIDES</filename> list is created
+ implicitly through the recipe's
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PN'><filename>PN</filename></link> variable
+ and explicitly through the recipe's
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PROVIDES'><filename>PROVIDES</filename></link>
+ variable, which is optional.

+ <title>Preferences</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>PROVIDES</filename> list is only part of the solution
+ for figuring out a target's recipes.
+ Because targets might have multiple providers, BitBake needs
+ to prioritize providers by determining provider preferences.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A common example in which a target has multiple providers
+ is "virtual/kernel", which is on the
+ <filename>PROVIDES</filename> list for each kernel recipe.
+ Each machine often selects the best kernel provider by using a
+ line similar to the following in the machine configuration file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-yocto"
+ </literallayout>
+ The default
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PREFERRED_PROVIDER'><filename>PREFERRED_PROVIDER</filename></link>
+ is the provider with the same name as the target.
+ BitBake iterates through each target it needs to build and
+ resolves them and their dependencies using this process.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Understanding how providers are chosen is made complicated by the fact
+ that multiple versions might exist for a given provider.
+ BitBake defaults to the highest version of a provider.
+ Version comparisons are made using the same method as Debian.
+ You can use the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PREFERRED_VERSION'><filename>PREFERRED_VERSION</filename></link>
+ variable to specify a particular version.
+ You can influence the order by using the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-DEFAULT_PREFERENCE'><filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, files have a preference of "0".
+ Setting <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> to "-1" makes the
+ recipe unlikely to be used unless it is explicitly referenced.
+ Setting <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> to "1" makes it
+ likely the recipe is used.
+ <filename>PREFERRED_VERSION</filename> overrides any
+ <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> setting.
+ <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> is often used to mark newer
+ and more experimental recipe versions until they have undergone
+ sufficient testing to be considered stable.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When there are multiple “versions” of a given recipe,
+ BitBake defaults to selecting the most recent
+ version, unless otherwise specified.
+ If the recipe in question has a
+ <link linkend='var-bb-DEFAULT_PREFERENCE'><filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename></link>
+ set lower than the other recipes (default is 0), then
+ it will not be selected.
+ This allows the person or persons maintaining
+ the repository of recipe files to specify
+ their preference for the default selected version.
+ Additionally, the user can specify their preferred version.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If the first recipe is named <filename>a_1.1.bb</filename>, then the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PN'><filename>PN</filename></link> variable
+ will be set to “a”, and the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link>
+ variable will be set to 1.1.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Thus, if a recipe named <filename>a_1.2.bb</filename> exists, BitBake
+ will choose 1.2 by default.
+ However, if you define the following variable in a
+ <filename>.conf</filename> file that BitBake parses, you
+ can change that preference:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PREFERRED_VERSION_a = "1.1"
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ It is common for a recipe to provide two versions -- a stable,
+ numbered (and preferred) version, and a version that is
+ automatically checked out from a source code repository that
+ is considered more "bleeding edge" but can be selected only
+ explicitly.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For example, in the OpenEmbedded codebase, there is a standard,
+ versioned recipe file for BusyBox,
+ <filename>busybox_1.22.1.bb</filename>,
+ but there is also a Git-based version,
+ <filename>busybox_git.bb</filename>, which explicitly contains the line
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1"
+ </literallayout>
+ to ensure that the numbered, stable version is always preferred
+ unless the developer selects otherwise.

+ <title>The Task List</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Based on the generated list of providers and the dependency information,
+ BitBake can now calculate exactly what tasks it needs to run and in what
+ order it needs to run them.
+ The
+ "<link linkend='executing-tasks'>Executing Tasks</link>" section has more
+ information on how BitBake chooses which task to execute next.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The build now starts with BitBake forking off threads up to the limit set in the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_NUMBER_THREADS'><filename>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ BitBake continues to fork threads as long as there are tasks ready to run,
+ those tasks have all their dependencies met, and the thread threshold has not been
+ exceeded.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is worth noting that you can greatly speed up the build time by properly setting
+ the <filename>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</filename> variable.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As each task completes, a timestamp is written to the directory specified by the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-STAMP'><filename>STAMP</filename></link> variable.
+ On subsequent runs, BitBake looks in the build directory within
+ <filename>tmp/stamps</filename> and does not rerun
+ tasks that are already completed unless a timestamp is found to be invalid.
+ Currently, invalid timestamps are only considered on a per
+ recipe file basis.
+ So, for example, if the configure stamp has a timestamp greater than the
+ compile timestamp for a given target, then the compile task would rerun.
+ Running the compile task again, however, has no effect on other providers
+ that depend on that target.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The exact format of the stamps is partly configurable.
+ In modern versions of BitBake, a hash is appended to the
+ stamp so that if the configuration changes, the stamp becomes
+ invalid and the task is automatically rerun.
+ This hash, or signature used, is governed by the signature policy
+ that is configured (see the
+ "<link linkend='checksums'>Checksums (Signatures)</link>"
+ section for information).
+ It is also possible to append extra metadata to the stamp using
+ the <filename>[stamp-extra-info]</filename> task flag.
+ For example, OpenEmbedded uses this flag to make some tasks machine-specific.
+ </para>
+

+ <title>Executing Tasks</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Tasks can be either a shell task or a Python task.
+ For shell tasks, BitBake writes a shell script to
+ <filename>${</filename><link linkend='var-bb-T'><filename>T</filename></link><filename>}/run.do_taskname.<replaceable>pid</replaceable></filename>
+ and then executes the script.
+ The generated shell script contains all the exported variables,
+ and the shell functions with all variables expanded.
+ Output from the shell script goes to the file
+ <filename>${T}/log.do_taskname.<replaceable>pid</replaceable></filename>.
+ Looking at the expanded shell functions in the run file and
+ the output in the log files is a useful debugging technique.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For Python tasks, BitBake executes the task internally and logs
+ information to the controlling terminal.
+ Future versions of BitBake will write the functions to files
+ similar to the way shell tasks are handled.
+ Logging will be handled in a way similar to shell tasks as well.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The order in which BitBake runs the tasks is controlled by its
+ task scheduler.
+ It is possible to configure the scheduler and define custom
+ implementations for specific use cases.
+ For more information, see these variables that control the

+ It is possible to have functions run before and after a task's main

+
+ <section id='checksums'>
+ <title>Checksums (Signatures)</title>
+
+ <para>
+ A checksum is a unique signature of a task's inputs.
+ The signature of a task can be used to determine if a task
+ needs to be run.
+ Because it is a change in a task's inputs that triggers running
+ the task, BitBake needs to detect all the inputs to a given task.
+ For shell tasks, this turns out to be fairly easy because
+ BitBake generates a "run" shell script for each task and
+ it is possible to create a checksum that gives you a good idea of when
+ the task's data changes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To complicate the problem, some things should not be included in
+ the checksum.
+ First, there is the actual specific build path of a given task -
+ the working directory.
+ It does not matter if the working directory changes because it should not
+ affect the output for target packages.
+ The simplistic approach for excluding the working directory is to set
+ it to some fixed value and create the checksum for the "run" script.
+ BitBake goes one step better and uses the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST'><filename>BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST</filename></link>
+ variable to define a list of variables that should never be included
+ when generating the signatures.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another problem results from the "run" scripts containing functions that
+ might or might not get called.
+ The incremental build solution contains code that figures out dependencies
+ between shell functions.
+ This code is used to prune the "run" scripts down to the minimum set,
+ thereby alleviating this problem and making the "run" scripts much more
+ readable as a bonus.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ So far we have solutions for shell scripts.
+ What about Python tasks?
+ The same approach applies even though these tasks are more difficult.
+ The process needs to figure out what variables a Python function accesses
+ and what functions it calls.
+ Again, the incremental build solution contains code that first figures out
+ the variable and function dependencies, and then creates a checksum for the data
+ used as the input to the task.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Like the working directory case, situations exist where dependencies
+ should be ignored.
+ For these cases, you can instruct the build process to ignore a dependency
+ by using a line like the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PACKAGE_ARCHS[vardepsexclude] = "MACHINE"
+ </literallayout>
+ This example ensures that the <filename>PACKAGE_ARCHS</filename> variable does not
+ depend on the value of <filename>MACHINE</filename>, even if it does reference it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Equally, there are cases where we need to add dependencies BitBake
+ is not able to find.
+ You can accomplish this by using a line like the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PACKAGE_ARCHS[vardeps] = "MACHINE"
+ </literallayout>
+ This example explicitly adds the <filename>MACHINE</filename> variable as a
+ dependency for <filename>PACKAGE_ARCHS</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Consider a case with in-line Python, for example, where BitBake is not
+ able to figure out dependencies.
+ When running in debug mode (i.e. using <filename>-DDD</filename>), BitBake
+ produces output when it discovers something for which it cannot figure out
+ dependencies.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Thus far, this section has limited discussion to the direct inputs into a task.
+ Information based on direct inputs is referred to as the "basehash" in the
+ code.
+ However, there is still the question of a task's indirect inputs - the
+ things that were already built and present in the build directory.
+ The checksum (or signature) for a particular task needs to add the hashes
+ of all the tasks on which the particular task depends.
+ Choosing which dependencies to add is a policy decision.
+ However, the effect is to generate a master checksum that combines the basehash
+ and the hashes of the task's dependencies.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ At the code level, there are a variety of ways both the basehash and the
+ dependent task hashes can be influenced.
+ Within the BitBake configuration file, we can give BitBake some extra information
+ to help it construct the basehash.
+ The following statement effectively results in a list of global variable
+ dependency excludes - variables never included in any checksum.
+ This example uses variables from OpenEmbedded to help illustrate
+ the concept:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST ?= "TMPDIR FILE PATH PWD BB_TASKHASH BBPATH DL_DIR \
+ SSTATE_DIR THISDIR FILESEXTRAPATHS FILE_DIRNAME HOME LOGNAME SHELL \
+ USER FILESPATH STAGING_DIR_HOST STAGING_DIR_TARGET COREBASE PRSERV_HOST \
+ PRSERV_DUMPDIR PRSERV_DUMPFILE PRSERV_LOCKDOWN PARALLEL_MAKE \
+ CCACHE_DIR EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN CCACHE CCACHE_DISABLE LICENSE_PATH SDKPKGSUFFIX"
+ </literallayout>
+ The previous example excludes the work directory, which is part of
+ <filename>TMPDIR</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The rules for deciding which hashes of dependent tasks to include through
+ dependency chains are more complex and are generally accomplished with a
+ Python function.
+ The code in <filename>meta/lib/oe/sstatesig.py</filename> shows two examples
+ of this and also illustrates how you can insert your own policy into the system
+ if so desired.
+ This file defines the two basic signature generators OpenEmbedded-Core
+ uses: "OEBasic" and "OEBasicHash".
+ By default, there is a dummy "noop" signature handler enabled in BitBake.
+ This means that behavior is unchanged from previous versions.
+ <filename>OE-Core</filename> uses the "OEBasicHash" signature handler by default
+ through this setting in the <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER ?= "OEBasicHash"
+ </literallayout>
+ The "OEBasicHash" <filename>BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER</filename> is the same as the
+ "OEBasic" version but adds the task hash to the stamp files.
+ This results in any metadata change that changes the task hash, automatically
+ causing the task to be run again.
+ This removes the need to bump
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PR'><filename>PR</filename></link>
+ values, and changes to metadata automatically ripple across the build.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is also worth noting that the end result of these signature generators is to
+ make some dependency and hash information available to the build.
+ This information includes:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><filename>BB_BASEHASH_task-</filename><replaceable>taskname</replaceable>:
+ The base hashes for each task in the recipe.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><filename>BB_BASEHASH_</filename><replaceable>filename</replaceable><filename>:</filename><replaceable>taskname</replaceable>:

+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><filename>BB_TASKHASH</filename>:
+ The hash of the currently running task.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is worth noting that BitBake's "-S" option lets you
+ debug BitBake's processing of signatures.
+ The options passed to -S allow different debugging modes
+ to be used, either using BitBake's own debug functions
+ or possibly those defined in the metadata/signature handler
+ itself.
+ The simplest parameter to pass is "none", which causes a
+ set of signature information to be written out into
+ <filename>STAMPS_DIR</filename>
+ corresponding to the targets specified.
+ The other currently available parameter is "printdiff",
+ which causes BitBake to try to establish the closest
+ signature match it can (e.g. in the sstate cache) and then
+ run <filename>bitbake-diffsigs</filename> over the matches
+ to determine the stamps and delta where these two
+ stamp trees diverge.

+ <title>Setscene</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The setscene process enables BitBake to handle "pre-built" artifacts.
+ The ability to handle and reuse these artifacts allows BitBake
+ the luxury of not having to build something from scratch every time.
+ Instead, BitBake can use, when possible, existing build artifacts.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake needs to have reliable data indicating whether or not an
+ artifact is compatible.
+ Signatures, described in the previous section, provide an ideal
+ way of representing whether an artifact is compatible.
+ If a signature is the same, an object can be reused.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If an object can be reused, the problem then becomes how to
+ replace a given task or set of tasks with the pre-built artifact.
+ BitBake solves the problem with the "setscene" process.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When BitBake is asked to build a given target, before building anything,
+ it first asks whether cached information is available for any of the
+ targets it's building, or any of the intermediate targets.
+ If cached information is available, BitBake uses this information instead of
+ running the main tasks.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake first calls the function defined by the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_HASHCHECK_FUNCTION'><filename>BB_HASHCHECK_FUNCTION</filename></link>
+ variable with a list of tasks and corresponding
+ hashes it wants to build.
+ This function is designed to be fast and returns a list
+ of the tasks for which it believes in can obtain artifacts.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Next, for each of the tasks that were returned as possibilities,
+ BitBake executes a setscene version of the task that the possible
+ artifact covers.
+ Setscene versions of a task have the string "_setscene" appended to the
+ task name.
+ So, for example, the task with the name <filename>xxx</filename> has
+ a setscene task named <filename>xxx_setscene</filename>.
+ The setscene version of the task executes and provides the necessary
+ artifacts returning either success or failure.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As previously mentioned, an artifact can cover more than one task.
+ For example, it is pointless to obtain a compiler if you
+ already have the compiled binary.
+ To handle this, BitBake calls the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_SETSCENE_DEPVALID'><filename>BB_SETSCENE_DEPVALID</filename></link>
+ function for each successful setscene task to know whether or not it needs
+ to obtain the dependencies of that task.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Finally, after all the setscene tasks have executed, BitBake calls the
+ function listed in
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_SETSCENE_VERIFY_FUNCTION2'><filename>BB_SETSCENE_VERIFY_FUNCTION2</filename></link>
+ with the list of tasks BitBake thinks has been "covered".
+ The metadata can then ensure that this list is correct and can
+ inform BitBake that it wants specific tasks to be run regardless
+ of the setscene result.

+ BitBake takes several steps when fetching source code or files.
+ The fetcher codebase deals with two distinct processes in order:
+ obtaining the files from somewhere (cached or otherwise)
+ and then unpacking those files into a specific location and
+ perhaps in a specific way.
+ Getting and unpacking the files is often optionally followed
+ by patching.
+ Patching, however, is not covered by this module.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The code to execute the first part of this process, a fetch,
+ looks something like the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ src_uri = (d.getVar('SRC_URI') or "").split()
+ fetcher = bb.fetch2.Fetch(src_uri, d)
+ fetcher.download()
+ </literallayout>
+ This code sets up an instance of the fetch class.
+ The instance uses a space-separated list of URLs from the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></link>
+ variable and then calls the <filename>download</filename>
+ method to download the files.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The instantiation of the fetch class is usually followed by:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ rootdir = l.getVar('WORKDIR')
+ fetcher.unpack(rootdir)
+ </literallayout>
+ This code unpacks the downloaded files to the
+ specified by <filename>WORKDIR</filename>.
+ <note>
+ For convenience, the naming in these examples matches
+ the variables used by OpenEmbedded.
+ If you want to see the above code in action, examine
+ the OpenEmbedded class file <filename>base.bbclass</filename>.
+ </note>
+ The <filename>SRC_URI</filename> and <filename>WORKDIR</filename>
+ variables are not hardcoded into the fetcher, since those fetcher
+ methods can be (and are) called with different variable names.
+ In OpenEmbedded for example, the shared state (sstate) code uses
+ the fetch module to fetch the sstate files.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When the <filename>download()</filename> method is called,
+ BitBake tries to resolve the URLs by looking for source files
+ in a specific search order:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Pre-mirror Sites:</emphasis>
+ BitBake first uses pre-mirrors to try and find source files.
+ These locations are defined using the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PREMIRRORS'><filename>PREMIRRORS</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Source URI:</emphasis>
+ If pre-mirrors fail, BitBake uses the original URL (e.g from
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename>).
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Mirror Sites:</emphasis>
+ If fetch failures occur, BitBake next uses mirror locations as
+ defined by the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-MIRRORS'><filename>MIRRORS</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For each URL passed to the fetcher, the fetcher
+ calls the submodule that handles that particular URL type.
+ This behavior can be the source of some confusion when you
+ are providing URLs for the <filename>SRC_URI</filename>
+ variable.
+ Consider the following two URLs:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ http://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky;protocol=git
+ git://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky;protocol=http
+ </literallayout>
+ In the former case, the URL is passed to the
+ <filename>wget</filename> fetcher, which does not
+ understand "git".
+ Therefore, the latter case is the correct form since the
+ Git fetcher does know how to use HTTP as a transport.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Here are some examples that show commonly used mirror
+ definitions:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PREMIRRORS ?= "\
+ bzr://.*/.* http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n \
+ cvs://.*/.* http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n \
+ git://.*/.* http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n \
+ hg://.*/.* http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n \
+ osc://.*/.* http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n \
+ p4://.*/.* http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n \

+ ftp://.*/.* http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n \
+ http://.*/.* http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n \
+ https://.*/.* http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n"
+ </literallayout>
+ It is useful to note that BitBake supports
+ cross-URLs.
+ It is possible to mirror a Git repository on an HTTP
+ server as a tarball.
+ This is what the <filename>git://</filename> mapping in
+ the previous example does.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Since network accesses are slow, BitBake maintains a
+ cache of files downloaded from the network.
+ Any source files that are not local (i.e.
+ downloaded from the Internet) are placed into the download
+ directory, which is specified by the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-DL_DIR'><filename>DL_DIR</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ File integrity is of key importance for reproducing builds.
+ For non-local archive downloads, the fetcher code can verify
+ SHA-256 and MD5 checksums to ensure the archives have been
+ downloaded correctly.
+ You can specify these checksums by using the
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename> variable with the appropriate
+ varflags as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI[md5sum] = "<replaceable>value</replaceable>"
+ SRC_URI[sha256sum] = "<replaceable>value</replaceable>"
+ </literallayout>
+ You can also specify the checksums as parameters on the
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename> as shown below:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI = "http://example.com/foobar.tar.bz2;md5sum=4a8e0f237e961fd7785d19d07fdb994d"
+ </literallayout>
+ If multiple URIs exist, you can specify the checksums either
+ directly as in the previous example, or you can name the URLs.
+ The following syntax shows how you name the URIs:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI = "http://example.com/foobar.tar.bz2;name=foo"
+ SRC_URI[foo.md5sum] = 4a8e0f237e961fd7785d19d07fdb994d
+ </literallayout>
+ After a file has been downloaded and has had its checksum checked,
+ a ".done" stamp is placed in <filename>DL_DIR</filename>.
+ BitBake uses this stamp during subsequent builds to avoid
+ downloading or comparing a checksum for the file again.
+ <note>
+ It is assumed that local storage is safe from data corruption.
+ If this were not the case, there would be bigger issues to worry about.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_STRICT_CHECKSUM'><filename>BB_STRICT_CHECKSUM</filename></link>
+ is set, any download without a checksum triggers an
+ error message.
+ The
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_NO_NETWORK'><filename>BB_NO_NETWORK</filename></link>
+ variable can be used to make any attempted network access a fatal
+ error, which is useful for checking that mirrors are complete
+ as well as other things.

+ The unpack process usually immediately follows the download.
+ For all URLs except Git URLs, BitBake uses the common

+ A number of parameters exist that you can specify within the
+ URL to govern the behavior of the unpack stage:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>unpack:</emphasis>
+ Controls whether the URL components are unpacked.
+ If set to "1", which is the default, the components
+ are unpacked.
+ If set to "0", the unpack stage leaves the file alone.
+ This parameter is useful when you want an archive to be
+ copied in and not be unpacked.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>dos:</emphasis>
+ Applies to <filename>.zip</filename> and
+ <filename>.jar</filename> files and specifies whether to

+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>subdir:</emphasis>

+ ".srpm", ".deb" and ".bz2" extensions as well as various combinations
+ of tarball extensions.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As mentioned, the Git fetcher has its own unpack method that
+ is optimized to work with Git trees.
+ Basically, this method works by cloning the tree into the final

+ <note>
+ Because URL parameters are delimited by semi-colons, this can

+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI = "http://abc123.org/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;a=snapshot;h=a5dd47"

+ The executable used is specified by
+ <filename>FETCHCMD_p4</filename>, which defaults

+ The fetcher's temporary working directory is set by
+ <link linkend='var-bb-P4DIR'><filename>P4DIR</filename></link>,
+ which defaults to "DL_DIR/p4".
+ The fetcher does not make use of a perforce client, instead it
+ relies on <filename>p4 files</filename> to retrieve a list of
+ files and <filename>p4 print</filename> to transfer the content
+ of those files locally.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To use this fetcher, make sure your recipe has proper
+ <link linkend='var-bb-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></link>,
+ <link linkend='var-bb-SRCREV'><filename>SRCREV</filename></link>, and
+ <link linkend='var-bb-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link> values.
+ The p4 executable is able to use the config file defined by your
+ system's <filename>P4CONFIG</filename> environment variable in
+ order to define the Perforce server URL and port, username, and
+ password if you do not wish to keep those values in a recipe
+ itself.
+ If you choose not to use <filename>P4CONFIG</filename>,
+ or to explicitly set variables that <filename>P4CONFIG</filename>
+ can contain, you can specify the <filename>P4PORT</filename> value,
+ which is the server's URL and port number, and you can
+ specify a username and password directly in your recipe within
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename>.
+ </para>

+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ ./bin/bitbake --version
+ BitBake Build Tool Core version 1.23.0, bitbake version 1.23.0

+ The recommended method to run BitBake is from a directory of your
+ choice.
+ To be able to run BitBake from any directory, you need to add the
+ executable binary to your binary to your shell's environment
+ <filename>PATH</filename> variable.
+ First, look at your current <filename>PATH</filename> variable
+ by entering the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ echo $PATH
+ </literallayout>
+ Next, add the directory location for the BitBake binary to the

+ to the front of the <filename>PATH</filename> variable:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ Fundamentally, BitBake is a generic task execution

+ <title>History and Goals</title>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake was originally a part of the OpenEmbedded project.
+ It was inspired by the Portage package management system
+ used by the Gentoo Linux distribution.
+ On December 7, 2004, OpenEmbedded project team member
+ Chris Larson split the project into two distinct pieces:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>BitBake, a generic task executor</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>OpenEmbedded, a metadata set utilized by
+ BitBake</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ Today, BitBake is the primary basis of the
+ <ulink url="http://www.openembedded.org/">OpenEmbedded</ulink>
+ project, which is being used to build and maintain Linux
+ distributions such as the
+ <ulink url='http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/'>Angstrom Distribution</ulink>,
+ and which is also being used as the build tool for Linux projects
+ such as the
+ <ulink url='http://www.yoctoproject.org'>Yocto Project</ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Prior to BitBake, no other build tool adequately met the needs of
+ an aspiring embedded Linux distribution.
+ All of the build systems used by traditional desktop Linux
+ distributions lacked important functionality, and none of the
+ ad hoc Buildroot-based systems, prevalent in the
+ embedded space, were scalable or maintainable.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Some important original goals for BitBake were:
+ <itemizedlist>

+ BitBake satisfies all the original requirements and many more
+ with extensions being made to the basic functionality to
+ reflect the additional requirements.
+ Flexibility and power have always been the priorities.
+ BitBake is highly extensible and supports embedded Python code and

+ </section>
+
+ <section id="Concepts">
+ <title>Concepts</title>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake is a program written in the Python language.
+ At the highest level, BitBake interprets metadata, decides
+ what tasks are required to run, and executes those tasks.
+ Similar to GNU Make, BitBake controls how software is
+ built.
+ GNU Make achieves its control through "makefiles", while
+ BitBake uses "recipes".
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake extends the capabilities of a simple
+ tool like GNU Make by allowing for the definition of much more
+ complex tasks, such as assembling entire embedded Linux
+ distributions.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The remainder of this section introduces several concepts
+ that should be understood in order to better leverage
+ the power of BitBake.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='recipes'>
+ <title>Recipes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake Recipes, which are denoted by the file extension
+ <filename>.bb</filename>, are the most basic metadata files.
+ These recipe files provide BitBake with the following:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Descriptive information about the
+ package (author, homepage, license, and so on)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>The version of the recipe</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Existing dependencies (both build
+ and runtime dependencies)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Where the source code resides and
+ how to fetch it</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Whether the source code requires
+ any patches, where to find them, and how to apply
+ them</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>How to configure and compile the
+ source code</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>How to assemble the generated artifacts into
+ one or more installable packages</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Where on the target machine to install the
+ package or packages created</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Within the context of BitBake, or any project utilizing BitBake
+ as its build system, files with the <filename>.bb</filename>
+ extension are referred to as <firstterm>recipes</firstterm>.
+ <note>
+ The term "package" is also commonly used to describe recipes.
+ However, since the same word is used to describe packaged
+ output from a project, it is best to maintain a single
+ descriptive term - "recipes".
+ Put another way, a single "recipe" file is quite capable
+ of generating a number of related but separately installable
+ "packages".
+ In fact, that ability is fairly common.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='configuration-files'>
+ <title>Configuration Files</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Configuration files, which are denoted by the
+ <filename>.conf</filename> extension, define
+ various configuration variables that govern the project's build
+ process.
+ These files fall into several areas that define
+ machine configuration, distribution configuration,
+ possible compiler tuning, general common
+ configuration, and user configuration.
+ The main configuration file is the sample
+ <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> file, which is
+ located within the BitBake source tree
+ <filename>conf</filename> directory.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='classes'>
+ <title>Classes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Class files, which are denoted by the
+ <filename>.bbclass</filename> extension, contain
+ information that is useful to share between metadata files.
+ The BitBake source tree currently comes with one class metadata file
+ called <filename>base.bbclass</filename>.
+ You can find this file in the
+ <filename>classes</filename> directory.
+ The <filename>base.bbclass</filename> class files is special since it
+ is always included automatically for all recipes
+ and classes.
+ This class contains definitions for standard basic tasks such
+ as fetching, unpacking, configuring (empty by default),
+ compiling (runs any Makefile present), installing (empty by
+ default) and packaging (empty by default).
+ These tasks are often overridden or extended by other classes
+ added during the project development process.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='layers'>
+ <title>Layers</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Layers allow you to isolate different types of
+ customizations from each other.
+ While you might find it tempting to keep everything in one layer
+ when working on a single project, the more modular
+ your metadata, the easier it is to cope with future changes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To illustrate how you can use layers to keep things modular,
+ consider customizations you might make to support a specific target machine.
+ These types of customizations typically reside in a special layer,
+ rather than a general layer, called a <firstterm>Board Support Package</firstterm> (BSP)
+ layer.
+ Furthermore, the machine customizations should be isolated from
+ recipes and metadata that support a new GUI environment, for
+ example.
+ This situation gives you a couple of layers: one for the machine
+ configurations and one for the GUI environment.
+ It is important to understand, however, that the BSP layer can still
+ make machine-specific additions to recipes within
+ the GUI environment layer without polluting the GUI layer itself
+ with those machine-specific changes.
+ You can accomplish this through a recipe that is a BitBake append
+ (<filename>.bbappend</filename>) file.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='append-bbappend-files'>
+ <title>Append Files</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Append files, which are files that have the
+ <filename>.bbappend</filename> file extension, extend or
+ override information in an existing recipe file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake expects every append file to have a corresponding recipe file.
+ Furthermore, the append file and corresponding recipe file
+ must use the same root filename.
+ The filenames can differ only in the file type suffix used
+ (e.g. <filename>formfactor_0.0.bb</filename> and
+ <filename>formfactor_0.0.bbappend</filename>).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Information in append files extends or
+ overrides the information in the underlying,
+ similarly-named recipe files.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you name an append file, you can use the
+ "<filename>%</filename>" wildcard character to allow for matching
+ recipe names.
+ For example, suppose you have an append file named
+ as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ busybox_1.21.%.bbappend
+ </literallayout>
+ That append file would match any <filename>busybox_1.21.</filename><replaceable>x</replaceable><filename>.bb</filename>
+ version of the recipe.
+ So, the append file would match the following recipe names:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ busybox_1.21.1.bb
+ busybox_1.21.2.bb
+ busybox_1.21.3.bb
+ </literallayout>
+ <note><title>Important</title>
+ The use of the "<filename>%</filename>" character
+ is limited in that it only works directly in front of the
+ <filename>.bbappend</filename> portion of the append file's
+ name.
+ You cannot use the wildcard character in any other
+ location of the name.
+ </note>
+ If the <filename>busybox</filename> recipe was updated to
+ <filename>busybox_1.3.0.bb</filename>, the append name would not
+ match.
+ However, if you named the append file
+ <filename>busybox_1.%.bbappend</filename>, then you would have a match.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In the most general case, you could name the append file something as
+ simple as <filename>busybox_%.bbappend</filename> to be entirely
+ version independent.

+
+ <para>
+ Following is the usage and syntax for BitBake:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake -h
+ Usage: bitbake [options] [recipename/target recipe:do_task ...]
+
+ Executes the specified task (default is 'build') for a given set of target recipes (.bb files).
+ It is assumed there is a conf/bblayers.conf available in cwd or in BBPATH which
+ will provide the layer, BBFILES and other configuration information.
+
+ Options:
+ --version show program's version number and exit
+ -h, --help show this help message and exit
+ -b BUILDFILE, --buildfile=BUILDFILE
+ Execute tasks from a specific .bb recipe directly.
+ WARNING: Does not handle any dependencies from other
+ recipes.
+ -k, --continue Continue as much as possible after an error. While the
+ target that failed and anything depending on it cannot
+ be built, as much as possible will be built before
+ stopping.
+ -f, --force Force the specified targets/task to run (invalidating
+ any existing stamp file).
+ -c CMD, --cmd=CMD Specify the task to execute. The exact options
+ available depend on the metadata. Some examples might
+ be 'compile' or 'populate_sysroot' or 'listtasks' may
+ give a list of the tasks available.
+ -C INVALIDATE_STAMP, --clear-stamp=INVALIDATE_STAMP
+ Invalidate the stamp for the specified task such as
+ 'compile' and then run the default task for the
+ specified target(s).
+ -r PREFILE, --read=PREFILE
+ Read the specified file before bitbake.conf.
+ -R POSTFILE, --postread=POSTFILE
+ Read the specified file after bitbake.conf.
+ -v, --verbose Enable tracing of shell tasks (with 'set -x'). Also
+ print bb.note(...) messages to stdout (in addition to
+ writing them to ${T}/log.do_<task>).
+ -D, --debug Increase the debug level. You can specify this more
+ than once. -D sets the debug level to 1, where only
+ bb.debug(1, ...) messages are printed to stdout; -DD
+ sets the debug level to 2, where both bb.debug(1, ...)
+ and bb.debug(2, ...) messages are printed; etc.
+ Without -D, no debug messages are printed. Note that
+ -D only affects output to stdout. All debug messages
+ are written to ${T}/log.do_taskname, regardless of the
+ debug level.
+ -q, --quiet Output less log message data to the terminal. You can
+ specify this more than once.
+ -n, --dry-run Don't execute, just go through the motions.
+ -S SIGNATURE_HANDLER, --dump-signatures=SIGNATURE_HANDLER
+ Dump out the signature construction information, with
+ no task execution. The SIGNATURE_HANDLER parameter is
+ passed to the handler. Two common values are none and
+ printdiff but the handler may define more/less. none
+ means only dump the signature, printdiff means compare
+ the dumped signature with the cached one.
+ -p, --parse-only Quit after parsing the BB recipes.
+ -s, --show-versions Show current and preferred versions of all recipes.
+ -e, --environment Show the global or per-recipe environment complete
+ with information about where variables were
+ set/changed.
+ -g, --graphviz Save dependency tree information for the specified

+ Executing tasks for a single recipe file is relatively simple.

+ If you do not specify a task, BitBake executes the default
+ task, which is "build”.
+ BitBake obeys inter-task dependencies when doing
+ so.

+ Clearly there needs to be a way to tell BitBake what

+ There also needs to be a way for each recipe

+ You can convert these graphs into images using the
+ <filename>dot</filename> tool from
+ <ulink url='http://www.graphviz.org'>Graphviz</ulink>.

+ When you generate a dependency graph, BitBake writes two files

+ <title>Executing a Multiple Configuration Build</title>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake is able to build multiple images or packages
+ using a single command where the different targets
+ require different configurations (multiple configuration
+ builds).
+ Each target, in this scenario, is referred to as a
+ "multiconfig".
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To accomplish a multiple configuration build, you must
+ define each target's configuration separately using
+ a parallel configuration file in the build directory.
+ The location for these multiconfig configuration files
+ is specific.
+ They must reside in the current build directory in
+ a sub-directory of <filename>conf</filename> named
+ <filename>multiconfig</filename>.
+ Following is an example for two separate targets:
+ <imagedata fileref="figures/bb_multiconfig_files.png" align="center" width="4in" depth="3in" />
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The reason for this required file hierarchy
+ is because the <filename>BBPATH</filename> variable
+ is not constructed until the layers are parsed.
+ Consequently, using the configuration file as a
+ pre-configuration file is not possible unless it is
+ located in the current working directory.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Minimally, each configuration file must define the
+ machine and the temporary directory BitBake uses
+ for the build.
+ Suggested practice dictates that you do not
+ overlap the temporary directories used during the
+ builds.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Aside from separate configuration files for each
+ target, you must also enable BitBake to perform multiple
+ configuration builds.
+ Enabling is accomplished by setting the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BBMULTICONFIG'><filename>BBMULTICONFIG</filename></link>
+ variable in the <filename>local.conf</filename>
+ configuration file.
+ As an example, suppose you had configuration files
+ for <filename>target1</filename> and
+ <filename>target2</filename> defined in the build
+ directory.
+ The following statement in the
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> file both enables
+ BitBake to perform multiple configuration builds and
+ specifies the two extra multiconfigs:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BBMULTICONFIG = "target1 target2"
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once the target configuration files are in place and
+ BitBake has been enabled to perform multiple configuration
+ builds, use the following command form to start the
+ builds:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake [mc:<replaceable>multiconfigname</replaceable>:]<replaceable>target</replaceable> [[[mc:<replaceable>multiconfigname</replaceable>:]<replaceable>target</replaceable>] ... ]
+ </literallayout>
+ Here is an example for two extra multiconfigs:
+ <filename>target1</filename> and
+ <filename>target2</filename>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ <section id='bb-enabling-multiple-configuration-build-dependencies'>
+ <title>Enabling Multiple Configuration Build Dependencies</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Sometimes dependencies can exist between targets
+ (multiconfigs) in a multiple configuration build.
+ For example, suppose that in order to build an image
+ for a particular architecture, the root filesystem of
+ another build for a different architecture needs to
+ exist.
+ In other words, the image for the first multiconfig depends
+ on the root filesystem of the second multiconfig.
+ This dependency is essentially that the task in the recipe
+ that builds one multiconfig is dependent on the
+ completion of the task in the recipe that builds
+ another multiconfig.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To enable dependencies in a multiple configuration
+ build, you must declare the dependencies in the recipe
+ using the following statement form:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <replaceable>task_or_package</replaceable>[mcdepends] = "mc:<replaceable>from_multiconfig</replaceable>:<replaceable>to_multiconfig</replaceable>:<replaceable>recipe_name</replaceable>:<replaceable>task_on_which_to_depend</replaceable>"
+ </literallayout>
+ To better show how to use this statement, consider an
+ example with two multiconfigs: <filename>target1</filename>
+ and <filename>target2</filename>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <replaceable>image_task</replaceable>[mcdepends] = "mc:target1:target2:<replaceable>image2</replaceable>:<replaceable>rootfs_task</replaceable>"
+ </literallayout>
+ In this example, the
+ <replaceable>from_multiconfig</replaceable> is "target1" and
+ the <replaceable>to_multiconfig</replaceable> is "target2".
+ The task on which the image whose recipe contains
+ <replaceable>image_task</replaceable> depends on the
+ completion of the <replaceable>rootfs_task</replaceable>
+ used to build out <replaceable>image2</replaceable>, which
+ is associated with the "target2" multiconfig.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once you set up this dependency, you can build the
+ "target1" multiconfig using a BitBake command as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake mc:target1:<replaceable>image1</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ This command executes all the tasks needed to create
+ <replaceable>image1</replaceable> for the "target1"
+ multiconfig.
+ Because of the dependency, BitBake also executes through
+ the <replaceable>rootfs_task</replaceable> for the "target2"
+ multiconfig build.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Having a recipe depend on the root filesystem of another
+ build might not seem that useful.
+ Consider this change to the statement in the
+ <replaceable>image1</replaceable> recipe:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <replaceable>image_task</replaceable>[mcdepends] = "mc:target1:target2:<replaceable>image2</replaceable>:<replaceable>image_task</replaceable>"
+ </literallayout>
+ In this case, BitBake must create
+ <replaceable>image2</replaceable> for the "target2"
+ build since the "target1" build depends on it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Because "target1" and "target2" are enabled for multiple
+ configuration builds and have separate configuration
+ files, BitBake places the artifacts for each build in the
+ respective temporary build directories.

+ This assignment occurs immediately as the statement is parsed.
+ It is a "hard" assignment.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ <title>Modifying Existing Variables</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Sometimes you need to modify existing variables.
+ Following are some cases where you might find you want to
+ modify an existing variable:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Customize a recipe that uses the variable.

+ Change a variable's default value used in a

+ Changing a variable value can sometimes depend on how the
+ value was originally assigned and also on the desired
+ intent of the change.
+ In particular, when you append a value to a variable that
+ has a default value, the resulting value might not be what
+ you expect.
+ In this case, the value you provide might replace the value
+ rather than append to the default value.

+ <title>Line Joining</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Outside of
+ <link linkend='functions'>functions</link>, BitBake joins
+ any line ending in a backslash character ("\")
+ with the following line before parsing statements.
+ The most common use for the "\" character is to split variable
+ assignments over multiple lines, as in the following example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FOO = "bar \
+ baz \
+ qaz"
+ </literallayout>
+ Both the "\" character and the newline character
+ that follow it are removed when joining lines.
+ Thus, no newline characters end up in the value of
+ <filename>FOO</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Consider this additional example where the two
+ assignments both assign "barbaz" to
+ <filename>FOO</filename>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FOO = "barbaz"
+
+ FOO = "bar\
+ baz"
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ BitBake does not interpret escape sequences like
+ "\n" in variable values.
+ For these to have an effect, the value must be passed
+ to some utility that interprets escape sequences,
+ such as <filename>printf</filename> or
+ <filename>echo -n</filename>.

+ </para>

+
+ <section id='variable-expansion'>
+ <title>Variable Expansion</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Variables can reference the contents of other variables
+ using a syntax that is similar to variable expansion in
+ Bourne shells.
+ The following assignments
+ result in A containing "aval" and B evaluating to "preavalpost".
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ A = "aval"
+ B = "pre${A}post"
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ Unlike in Bourne shells, the curly braces are mandatory:
+ Only <filename>${FOO}</filename> and not
+ <filename>$FOO</filename> is recognized as an expansion of
+ <filename>FOO</filename>.
+ </note>
+ The "=" operator does not immediately expand variable
+ references in the right-hand side.
+ Instead, expansion is deferred until the variable assigned to
+ is actually used.
+ The result depends on the current values of the referenced
+ variables.
+ The following example should clarify this behavior:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ A = "${B} baz"
+ B = "${C} bar"
+ C = "foo"
+ *At this point, ${A} equals "foo bar baz"*
+ C = "qux"
+ *At this point, ${A} equals "qux bar baz"*
+ B = "norf"
+ *At this point, ${A} equals "norf baz"*

+ Contrast this behavior with the

+ operator (i.e. ":=").
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If the variable expansion syntax is used on a variable that
+ does not exist, the string is kept as is.
+ For example, given the following assignment,
+ <filename>BAR</filename> expands to the literal string
+ "${FOO}" as long as <filename>FOO</filename> does not exist.

+ <title>Setting a default value (?=)</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You can use the "?=" operator to achieve a "softer" assignment
+ for a variable.
+ This type of assignment allows you to define a variable if it
+ is undefined when the statement is parsed, but to leave the
+ value alone if the variable has a value.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ A ?= "aval"
+ </literallayout>
+ If <filename>A</filename> is set at the time this statement is parsed,
+ the variable retains its value.
+ However, if <filename>A</filename> is not set,
+ the variable is set to "aval".
+ <note>
+ This assignment is immediate.
+ Consequently, if multiple "?=" assignments
+ to a single variable exist, the first of those ends up getting
+ used.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='setting-a-weak-default-value'>
+ <title>Setting a weak default value (??=)</title>
+
+ <para>
+ It is possible to use a "weaker" assignment than in the
+ previous section by using the "??=" operator.
+ This assignment behaves identical to "?=" except that the
+ assignment is made at the end of the parsing process rather
+ than immediately.
+ Consequently, when multiple "??=" assignments exist, the last
+ one is used.
+ Also, any "=" or "?=" assignment will override the value set with
+ "??=".
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ A ??= "somevalue"
+ A ??= "someothervalue"
+ </literallayout>
+ If <filename>A</filename> is set before the above statements are parsed,
+ the variable retains its value.
+ If <filename>A</filename> is not set,
+ the variable is set to "someothervalue".
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Again, this assignment is a "lazy" or "weak" assignment
+ because it does not occur until the end
+ of the parsing process.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='immediate-variable-expansion'>
+ <title>Immediate variable expansion (:=)</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The ":=" operator results in a variable's
+ contents being expanded immediately,
+ rather than when the variable is actually used:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ T = "123"
+ A := "test ${T}"
+ T = "456"
+ B := "${T} ${C}"
+ C = "cval"
+ C := "${C}append"
+ </literallayout>
+ In this example, <filename>A</filename> contains
+ "test 123", even though the final value of <filename>T</filename>
+ is "456".
+ The variable <filename>B</filename> will end up containing "456 cvalappend".
+ This is because references to undefined variables are preserved as is
+ during (immediate)expansion. This is in contrast to GNU Make, where undefined
+ variables expand to nothing.
+ The variable <filename>C</filename>
+ contains "cvalappend" since <filename>${C}</filename> immediately

+ <title>Override Style Operation Advantages</title>
+
+ <para>
+ An advantage of the override style operations
+ "_append", "_prepend", and "_remove" as compared to the
+ "+=" and "=+" operators is that the override style
+ operators provide guaranteed operations.
+ For example, consider a class <filename>foo.bbclass</filename>
+ that needs to add the value "val" to the variable
+ <filename>FOO</filename>, and a recipe that uses
+ <filename>foo.bbclass</filename> as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ inherit foo
+
+ FOO = "initial"
+ </literallayout>
+ If <filename>foo.bbclass</filename> uses the "+=" operator,
+ as follows, then the final value of <filename>FOO</filename>
+ will be "initial", which is not what is desired:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FOO += "val"
+ </literallayout>
+ If, on the other hand, <filename>foo.bbclass</filename>
+ uses the "_append" operator, then the final value of
+ <filename>FOO</filename> will be "initial val", as intended:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FOO_append = " val"
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ It is never necessary to use "+=" together with "_append".
+ The following sequence of assignments appends "barbaz" to
+ <filename>FOO</filename>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FOO_append = "bar"
+ FOO_append = "baz"
+ </literallayout>
+ The only effect of changing the second assignment in the
+ previous example to use "+=" would be to add a space before
+ "baz" in the appended value (due to how the "+=" operator
+ works).
+ </note>
+ Another advantage of the override style operations is that
+ you can combine them with other overrides as described in the
+ "<link linkend='conditional-syntax-overrides'>Conditional Syntax (Overrides)</link>"
+ section.

+ FOO[a] = "abc"
+ FOO[b] = "123"

+ Probably the most common use of this feature is to extract

+ Given the following assignment, <filename>foo()</filename>
+ is called each time <filename>FOO</filename> is expanded:

+ Despite the previous explanations that show the different forms of

+ overrides, and unconditional overrides are combined.
+ This section presents some common scenarios along
+ with explanations for variable interactions that
+ typically confuse users.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ There is often confusion concerning the order in which
+ overrides and various "append" operators take effect.
+ Recall that an append or prepend operation using "_append"
+ and "_prepend" does not result in an immediate assignment
+ as would "+=", ".=", "=+", or "=.".
+ Consider the following example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ OVERRIDES = "foo"
+ A = "Z"
+ A_foo_append = "X"
+ </literallayout>
+ For this case, <filename>A</filename> is
+ unconditionally set to "Z" and "X" is
+ unconditionally and immediately appended to the variable
+ <filename>A_foo</filename>.
+ Because overrides have not been applied yet,
+ <filename>A_foo</filename> is set to "X" due to the append
+ and <filename>A</filename> simply equals "Z".
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Applying overrides, however, changes things.
+ Since "foo" is listed in <filename>OVERRIDES</filename>,
+ the conditional variable <filename>A</filename> is replaced
+ with the "foo" version, which is equal to "X".
+ So effectively, <filename>A_foo</filename> replaces <filename>A</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This next example changes the order of the override and
+ the append:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ OVERRIDES = "foo"
+ A = "Z"
+ A_append_foo = "X"
+ </literallayout>
+ For this case, before overrides are handled,
+ <filename>A</filename> is set to "Z" and <filename>A_append_foo</filename>
+ is set to "X".
+ Once the override for "foo" is applied, however,
+ <filename>A</filename> gets appended with "X".
+ Consequently, <filename>A</filename> becomes "ZX".
+ Notice that spaces are not appended.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This next example has the order of the appends and overrides reversed
+ back as in the first example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ OVERRIDES = "foo"
+ A = "Y"
+ A_foo_append = "Z"
+ A_foo_append = "X"
+ </literallayout>
+ For this case, before any overrides are resolved,
+ <filename>A</filename> is set to "Y" using an immediate assignment.
+ After this immediate assignment, <filename>A_foo</filename> is set
+ to "Z", and then further appended with
+ "X" leaving the variable set to "ZX".
+ Finally, applying the override for "foo" results in the conditional
+ variable <filename>A</filename> becoming "ZX" (i.e.
+ <filename>A</filename> is replaced with <filename>A_foo</filename>).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This final example mixes in some varying operators:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ A = "1"
+ A_append = "2"
+ A_append = "3"
+ A += "4"
+ A .= "5"
+ </literallayout>
+ For this case, the type of append operators are affecting the
+ order of assignments as BitBake passes through the code
+ multiple times.
+ Initially, <filename>A</filename> is set to "1 45" because
+ of the three statements that use immediate operators.
+ After these assignments are made, BitBake applies the
+ "_append" operations.
+ Those operations result in <filename>A</filename> becoming "1 4523".

+ <section id='inherit-directive'>
+ <title><filename>inherit</filename> Directive</title>
+
+ <para>
+ When writing a recipe or class file, you can use the
+ <filename>inherit</filename> directive to inherit the
+ functionality of a class (<filename>.bbclass</filename>).
+ BitBake only supports this directive when used within recipe
+ and class files (i.e. <filename>.bb</filename> and
+ <filename>.bbclass</filename>).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>inherit</filename> directive is a rudimentary
+ means of specifying functionality contained in class files
+ that your recipes require.
+ For example, you can easily abstract out the tasks involved in
+ building a package that uses Autoconf and Automake and put
+ those tasks into a class file and then have your recipe
+ inherit that class file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As an example, your recipes could use the following directive
+ to inherit an <filename>autotools.bbclass</filename> file.
+ The class file would contain common functionality for using
+ Autotools that could be shared across recipes:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ inherit autotools
+ </literallayout>
+ In this case, BitBake would search for the directory
+ <filename>classes/autotools.bbclass</filename>
+ in <filename>BBPATH</filename>.
+ <note>
+ You can override any values and functions of the
+ inherited class within your recipe by doing so
+ after the "inherit" statement.
+ </note>
+ If you want to use the directive to inherit
+ multiple classes, separate them with spaces.
+ The following example shows how to inherit both the
+ <filename>buildhistory</filename> and <filename>rm_work</filename>
+ classes:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ inherit buildhistory rm_work
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ An advantage with the inherit directive as compared to both
+ the
+ <link linkend='include-directive'>include</link> and
+ <link linkend='require-inclusion'>require</link> directives
+ is that you can inherit class files conditionally.
+ You can accomplish this by using a variable expression
+ after the <filename>inherit</filename> statement.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ inherit ${VARNAME}
+ </literallayout>
+ If <filename>VARNAME</filename> is going to be set, it needs
+ to be set before the <filename>inherit</filename> statement
+ is parsed.
+ One way to achieve a conditional inherit in this case is to use
+ overrides:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ VARIABLE = ""
+ VARIABLE_someoverride = "myclass"
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another method is by using anonymous Python.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ python () {
+ if condition == value:
+ d.setVar('VARIABLE', 'myclass')
+ else:
+ d.setVar('VARIABLE', '')
+ }
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Alternatively, you could use an in-line Python expression
+ in the following form:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ inherit ${@'classname' if condition else ''}
+ inherit ${@functionname(params)}
+ </literallayout>
+ In all cases, if the expression evaluates to an empty
+ string, the statement does not trigger a syntax error
+ because it becomes a no-op.

+ <section id='anonymous-python-functions'>
+ <title>Anonymous Python Functions</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Sometimes it is useful to set variables or perform
+ other operations programmatically during parsing.
+ To do this, you can define special Python functions,
+ called anonymous Python functions, that run at the
+ end of parsing.
+ For example, the following conditionally sets a variable
+ based on the value of another variable:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ python () {
+ if d.getVar('SOMEVAR') == 'value':
+ d.setVar('ANOTHERVAR', 'value2')
+ }
+ </literallayout>
+ An equivalent way to mark a function as an anonymous
+ function is to give it the name "__anonymous", rather
+ than no name.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Anonymous Python functions always run at the end
+ of parsing, regardless of where they are defined.
+ If a recipe contains many anonymous functions, they
+ run in the same order as they are defined within the
+ recipe.
+ As an example, consider the following snippet:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ python () {
+ d.setVar('FOO', 'foo 2')
+ }
+
+ FOO = "foo 1"
+
+ python () {
+ d.appendVar('BAR', ' bar 2')
+ }
+
+ BAR = "bar 1"
+ </literallayout>
+ The previous example is conceptually equivalent to the
+ following snippet:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FOO = "foo 1"
+ BAR = "bar 1"
+ FOO = "foo 2"
+ BAR += "bar 2"
+ </literallayout>
+ <filename>FOO</filename> ends up with the value "foo 2",
+ and <filename>BAR</filename> with the value "bar 1 bar 2".
+ Just as in the second snippet, the values set for the
+ variables within the anonymous functions become available
+ to tasks, which always run after parsing.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Overrides and override-style operators such as
+ "<filename>_append</filename>" are applied before
+ anonymous functions run.
+ In the following example, <filename>FOO</filename> ends
+ up with the value "foo from anonymous":
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FOO = "foo"
+ FOO_append = " from outside"
+
+ python () {
+ d.setVar("FOO", "foo from anonymous")
+ }
+ </literallayout>

+ <title>Flexible Inheritance for Class Functions</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Through coding techniques and the use of
+ <filename>EXPORT_FUNCTIONS</filename>, BitBake supports
+ exporting a function from a class such that the
+ class function appears as the default implementation
+ of the function, but can still be called if a recipe
+ inheriting the class needs to define its own version of
+ the function.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To understand the benefits of this feature, consider
+ the basic scenario where a class defines a task function
+ and your recipe inherits the class.
+ In this basic scenario, your recipe inherits the task
+ function as defined in the class.
+ If desired, your recipe can add to the start and end of the
+ function by using the "_prepend" or "_append" operations
+ respectively, or it can redefine the function completely.
+ However, if it redefines the function, there is
+ no means for it to call the class version of the function.
+ <filename>EXPORT_FUNCTIONS</filename> provides a mechanism
+ that enables the recipe's version of the function to call
+ the original version of the function.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To make use of this technique, you need the following
+ things in place:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ The class needs to define the function as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <replaceable>classname</replaceable><filename>_</filename><replaceable>functionname</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ For example, if you have a class file
+ <filename>bar.bbclass</filename> and a function named
+ <filename>do_foo</filename>, the class must define the function
+ as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ bar_do_foo
+ </literallayout>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ The class needs to contain the <filename>EXPORT_FUNCTIONS</filename>
+ statement as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ EXPORT_FUNCTIONS <replaceable>functionname</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ For example, continuing with the same example, the
+ statement in the <filename>bar.bbclass</filename> would be
+ as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ EXPORT_FUNCTIONS do_foo
+ </literallayout>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ You need to call the function appropriately from within your
+ recipe.
+ Continuing with the same example, if your recipe
+ needs to call the class version of the function,
+ it should call <filename>bar_do_foo</filename>.
+ Assuming <filename>do_foo</filename> was a shell function
+ and <filename>EXPORT_FUNCTIONS</filename> was used as above,
+ the recipe's function could conditionally call the
+ class version of the function as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ do_foo() {
+ if [ somecondition ] ; then
+ bar_do_foo
+ else
+ # Do something else
+ fi
+ }
+ </literallayout>
+ To call your modified version of the function as defined
+ in your recipe, call it as <filename>do_foo</filename>.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ With these conditions met, your single recipe
+ can freely choose between the original function
+ as defined in the class file and the modified function in your recipe.
+ If you do not set up these conditions, you are limited to using one function
+ or the other.

+ Tasks are BitBake execution units that make up the
+ steps that BitBake can run for a given recipe.
+ Tasks are only supported in recipes and classes
+ (i.e. in <filename>.bb</filename> files and files
+ included or inherited from <filename>.bb</filename>
+ files).
+ By convention, tasks have names that start with "do_".

+ Tasks are either

+ <link linkend='bitbake-style-python-functions'>BitBake-style Python functions</link>
+ that have been promoted to tasks by using the
+ <filename>addtask</filename> command.
+ The <filename>addtask</filename> command can also
+ optionally describe dependencies between the
+ task and other tasks.
+ Here is an example that shows how to define a task
+ and declare some dependencies:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ python do_printdate () {
+ import time
+ print time.strftime('%Y%m%d', time.gmtime())
+ }
+ addtask printdate after do_fetch before do_build
+ </literallayout>
+ The first argument to <filename>addtask</filename>
+ is the name of the function to promote to
+ a task.
+ If the name does not start with "do_", "do_" is
+ implicitly added, which enforces the convention that
+ all task names start with "do_".
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In the previous example, the
+ <filename>do_printdate</filename> task becomes a
+ dependency of the <filename>do_build</filename>
+ task, which is the default task (i.e. the task run by
+ the <filename>bitbake</filename> command unless
+ another task is specified explicitly).
+ Additionally, the <filename>do_printdate</filename>
+ task becomes dependent upon the
+ <filename>do_fetch</filename> task.
+ Running the <filename>do_build</filename> task
+ results in the <filename>do_printdate</filename>
+ task running first.
+ <note>
+ If you try out the previous example, you might see that
+ the <filename>do_printdate</filename> task is only run
+ the first time you build the recipe with
+ the <filename>bitbake</filename> command.
+ This is because BitBake considers the task "up-to-date"
+ after that initial run.
+ If you want to force the task to always be rerun for
+ experimentation purposes, you can make BitBake always
+ consider the task "out-of-date" by using the
+ <filename>[</filename><link linkend='variable-flags'><filename>nostamp</filename></link><filename>]</filename>
+ variable flag, as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ do_printdate[nostamp] = "1"
+ </literallayout>
+ You can also explicitly run the task and provide the
+ <filename>-f</filename> option as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake <replaceable>recipe</replaceable> -c printdate -f
+ </literallayout>
+ When manually selecting a task to run with the
+ <filename>bitbake</filename> <replaceable>recipe</replaceable> <filename>-c</filename> <replaceable>task</replaceable>
+ command, you can omit the "do_" prefix as part of the
+ task name.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You might wonder about the practical effects of using
+ <filename>addtask</filename> without specifying any
+ dependencies as is done in the following example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ addtask printdate
+ </literallayout>
+ In this example, assuming dependencies have not been
+ added through some other means, the only way to run
+ the task is by explicitly selecting it with
+ <filename>bitbake</filename> <replaceable>recipe</replaceable> <filename>-c printdate</filename>.
+ You can use the
+ <filename>do_listtasks</filename> task to list all tasks
+ defined in a recipe as shown in the following example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake <replaceable>recipe</replaceable> -c listtasks

+ If you delete a task using the <filename>deltask</filename>

+
+ <para>
+ When running a task, BitBake tightly controls the shell execution
+ environment of the build tasks to make
+ sure unwanted contamination from the build machine cannot
+ influence the build.
+ <note>
+ By default, BitBake cleans the environment to include only those
+ things exported or listed in its whitelist to ensure that the build
+ environment is reproducible and consistent.
+ You can prevent this "cleaning" by setting the
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_PRESERVE_ENV'><filename>BB_PRESERVE_ENV</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ </note>
+ Consequently, if you do want something to get passed into the

+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Tell BitBake to load what you want from the environment
+ into the datastore.

+ and
+ <link linkend='var-bb-BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE'><filename>BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE</filename></link>

+ For example, assume you want to prevent the build system from
+ accessing your <filename>$HOME/.ccache</filename>
+ directory.
+ The following command "whitelists" the environment variable
+ <filename>CCACHE_DIR</filename> causing BitBake to allow that

+ <listitem><para>
+ Tell BitBake to export what you have loaded into the

+ Loading something from the environment into the datastore
+ (previous step) only makes it available in the datastore.
+ To export it to the task environment of every running task,
+ use a command similar to the following in your local configuration
+ file <filename>local.conf</filename> or your
+ distribution configuration file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ export CCACHE_DIR

+ BitBake allows installation of event handlers within recipe
+ and class files.
+ Events are triggered at certain points during operation, such
+ as the beginning of operation against a given recipe
+ (i.e. <filename>*.bb</filename>), the start of a given task,
+ a task failure, a task success, and so forth.
+ The intent is to make it easy to do things like email
+ notification on build failures.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Following is an example event handler that prints the name
+ of the event and the content of the
+ <filename>FILE</filename> variable:

+ }
+ myclass_eventhandler[eventmask] = "bb.event.BuildStarted bb.event.BuildCompleted"
+ </literallayout>
+ In the previous example, an eventmask has been set so that
+ the handler only sees the "BuildStarted" and "BuildCompleted"
+ events.
+ This event handler gets called every time an event matching
+ the eventmask is triggered.
+ A global variable "e" is defined, which represents the current
+ event.
+ With the <filename>getName(e)</filename> method, you can get
+ the name of the triggered event.
+ The global datastore is available as "d".
+ In legacy code, you might see "e.data" used to get the datastore.
+ However, realize that "e.data" is deprecated and you should use
+ "d" going forward.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The context of the datastore is appropriate to the event
+ in question.
+ For example, "BuildStarted" and "BuildCompleted" events run
+ before any tasks are executed so would be in the global
+ configuration datastore namespace.
+ No recipe-specific metadata exists in that namespace.
+ The "BuildStarted" and "BuildCompleted" events also run in
+ the main cooker/server process rather than any worker context.
+ Thus, any changes made to the datastore would be seen by other
+ cooker/server events within the current build but not seen
+ outside of that build or in any worker context.
+ Task events run in the actual tasks in question consequently
+ have recipe-specific and task-specific contents.
+ These events run in the worker context and are discarded at
+ the end of task execution.

+ mechanism) for a single version, or an optionally named range of versions.
+ Here is an example:

+ To build a different variant of the recipe with a minimal
+ amount of code, it usually is as simple as adding the
+ variable to your recipe.
+ Here are two examples.
+ The "native" variants are from the OpenEmbedded-Core
+ metadata:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BBCLASSEXTEND =+ "native nativesdk"
+ BBCLASSEXTEND =+ "multilib:<replaceable>multilib_name</replaceable>"
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ Internally, the <filename>BBCLASSEXTEND</filename>
+ mechanism generates recipe variants by rewriting
+ variable values and applying overrides such as
+ <filename>_class-native</filename>.
+ For example, to generate a native version of a recipe,
+ a
+ <link linkend='var-bb-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></link>
+ on "foo" is rewritten to a <filename>DEPENDS</filename>
+ on "foo-native".
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Even when using <filename>BBCLASSEXTEND</filename>, the
+ recipe is only parsed once.
+ Parsing once adds some limitations.
+ For example, it is not possible to
+ include a different file depending on the variant,
+ since <filename>include</filename> statements are
+ processed when the recipe is parsed.

+ Generic XHTML / DocBook XHTML CSS Stylesheet.
+
+ Browser wrangling and typographic design by
+ Oyvind Kolas / pippin@gimp.org
+
+ Customised for Poky by
+ Matthew Allum / mallum@o-hand.com
+
+ Thanks to:
+ Liam R. E. Quin
+ William Skaggs
+ Jakub Steiner
+
+ Structure
+ ---------
+
+ The stylesheet is divided into the following sections:
+
+ Positioning
+ Margins, paddings, width, font-size, clearing.
+ Decorations
+ Borders, style
+ Colors
+ Colors
+ Graphics
+ Graphical backgrounds
+ Nasty IE tweaks
+ Workarounds needed to make it work in internet explorer,
+ currently makes the stylesheet non validating, but up until
+ this point it is validating.
+ Mozilla extensions
+ Transparency for footer
+ Rounded corners on boxes

-# Minimal makefile for Sphinx documentation
#
+# SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-2.0-UK
+#
+# This is a single Makefile to handle all generated Yocto Project documents,
+# which includes the BitBake User Manual and the Toaster User Manual.
+# The Makefile needs to live in the documents directory and all figures used
+# in any manuals must be .PNG files and live in the individual book's figures
+# directory as well as in the figures directory for the mega-manual.
+#
+# Note that the figures for the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual
+# differ depending on the BRANCH being built.
+#
+# The Makefile has these targets:
+# all: If you leave off the target then "all" is implied.
+# You will generate HTML and a tarball of files.
+#
+# pdf: generates a PDF version of a manual. Not valid for the
+# Quick Start or the mega-manual (single, large HTML file
+# comprised of all Yocto Project manuals).
+# html: generates an HTML version of a manual.
+# tarball: creates a tarball for the doc files.
+# validate: validates
+# publish: pushes generated files to the Yocto Project website
+# clean: removes files
+#
+# The Makefile can generate an HTML and PDF version of every document except the
+# Yocto Project Quick Start and the single, HTML mega-manual, which is comprised
+# of all the individual Yocto Project manuals. You can generate these two manuals
+# in HTML form only. The variable DOC indicates the folder name for a given manual.
+# The variable VER represents the distro version of the Yocto Release for which the
+# manuals are being generated. The variable BRANCH is used to indicate the
+# branch (edison or denzil) and is used only when DOC=dev-manual or
+# DOC=mega-manual. If you do not specify a BRANCH, the default branch used
+# will be for the latest Yocto Project release. If you build for either
+# edison or denzil, you must use BRANCH. You do not need to use BRANCH for
+# any release beyond denzil.
+#
+# To build a manual, you must invoke Makefile with the DOC argument. If you
+# are going to publish the manual, then you must invoke Makefile with both the
+# DOC and the VER argument. Furthermore, if you are building or publishing
+# the edison or denzil versions of the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual or
+# the mega-manual, you must also use the BRANCH argument.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+# make DOC=bsp-guide
+# make html DOC=brief-yoctoprojectqs
+# make pdf DOC=ref-manual
+# make DOC=dev-manual BRANCH=edison
+# make DOC=mega-manual BRANCH=denzil
+#
+# The first example generates the HTML version of the BSP Guide.
+# The second example generates the HTML version only of the Quick Start. Note
+# that the Quick Start only has an HTML version available. So, the
+# 'make DOC=brief-yoctoprojectqs' command would be equivalent. The third example
+# generates just the PDF version of the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
+# The fourth example generates the HTML 'edison' version of the YP Development
+# Tasks Manual. The last example
+# generates the HTML version of the mega-manual and uses the 'denzil'
+# branch when choosing figures for the tarball of figures. Any example that does
+# not use the BRANCH argument builds the current version of the manual set.
+#
+# The publish target pushes the generated manuals to the Yocto Project
+# website. Unless you are a developer on the YP team, you will not succeed in
+# pushing manuals to this server. All files needed for the manual's HTML form are
+# pushed.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+# make publish DOC=bsp-guide VER=1.7
+# make publish DOC=adt-manual VER=1.6
+# make publish DOC=dev-manual VER=1.1.1 BRANCH=edison
+# make publish DOC=dev-manual VER=1.2 BRANCH=denzil
+#
+# The first example publishes the 1.7 version of both the PDF and HTML versions of
+# the BSP Guide. The second example publishes the 1.6 version of both the PDF and
+# HTML versions of the ADT Manual. The third example publishes the 1.1.1 version of
+# the PDF and HTML YP Development Tasks Manual for the 'edison' branch. The fourth
+# example publishes the 1.2 version of the PDF and HTML YP Development Tasks Manual
+# for the 'denzil' branch.
+#
+# IN MEMORIAM: This comment is to remember Scott Rifenbark (scottrif), whom we lost
+# in January, 2020. Scott was the primary technical writer for the Yocto Project for
+# over 9 years. In that time, he contributed many thousands of patches, built this
+# documentation tree, and enabled tens of thousands of developers to succeed with
+# embedded Linux. He ran this Makefile many thousands of times. Godspeed, Dude.

+ <title>Passing Host Options</title>
+
+ <para>
+ For an Autotools-based project, you can use the cross-toolchain by just
+ passing the appropriate host option to <filename>configure.sh</filename>.
+ The host option you use is derived from the name of the environment setup
+ script found in the directory in which you installed the cross-toolchain.
+ For example, the host option for an ARM-based target that uses the GNU EABI
+ is <filename>armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
+ You will notice that the name of the script is
+ <filename>environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
+ Thus, the following command works to update your project and
+ rebuild it using the appropriate cross-toolchain tools:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ ./configure --host=armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi \
+ --with-libtool-sysroot=<replaceable>sysroot_dir</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ If the <filename>configure</filename> script results in problems recognizing the
+ <filename>--with-libtool-sysroot=</filename><replaceable>sysroot-dir</replaceable> option,
+ regenerate the script to enable the support by doing the following and then
+ run the script again:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ libtoolize --automake
+ $ aclocal -I ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/share/aclocal \
+ [-I <replaceable>dir_containing_your_project-specific_m4_macros</replaceable>]
+ $ autoconf
+ $ autoheader

+<section id='makefile-based-projects'>
+<title>Makefile-Based Projects</title>
+
+ <para>
+ For Makefile-based projects, the cross-toolchain environment variables
+ established by running the cross-toolchain environment setup script
+ are subject to general <filename>make</filename> rules.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To illustrate this, consider the following four cross-toolchain
+ environment variables:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'>CC</ulink>=i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/1.8/sysroots/i586-poky-linux

+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CXXFLAGS'>CXXFLAGS</ulink>=-O2 -pipe -g -feliminate-unused-debug-types
+ </literallayout>
+ Now, consider the following three cases:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Case 1 - No Variables Set in the <filename>Makefile</filename>:</emphasis>
+ Because these variables are not specifically set in the
+ <filename>Makefile</filename>, the variables retain their
+ values based on the environment.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Case 2 - Variables Set in the <filename>Makefile</filename>:</emphasis>
+ Specifically setting variables in the
+ <filename>Makefile</filename> during the build results in the

+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Case 3 - Variables Set when the <filename>Makefile</filename> is Executed from the Command Line:</emphasis>
+ Executing the <filename>Makefile</filename> from the command
+ line results in the variables being overwritten with
+ command-line content regardless of what is being set in the
+ <filename>Makefile</filename>.
+ In this case, environment variables are not considered unless
+ you use the "-e" flag during the build:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ make -e <replaceable>file</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ If you use this flag, then the environment values of the
+ variables override any variables specifically set in the
+ <filename>Makefile</filename>.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <note>
+ For the list of variables set up by the cross-toolchain environment

+ <para>
+ Welcome to the Yocto Project Application Developer's Guide.
+ This manual provides information that lets you begin developing applications
+ using the Yocto Project.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project provides an application development environment based on
+ an Application Development Toolkit (ADT) and the availability of stand-alone
+ cross-development toolchains and other tools.
+ This manual describes the ADT and how you can configure and install it,
+ how to access and use the cross-development toolchains, how to
+ customize the development packages installation,
+ how to use command-line development for both Autotools-based and
+ Makefile-based projects, and an introduction to the
+ <trademark class='trade'>Eclipse</trademark> IDE Yocto Plug-in.
+ <note>
+ The ADT is distribution-neutral and does not require the Yocto
+ Project reference distribution, which is called Poky.
+ This manual, however, uses examples that use the Poky distribution.

+<title>Optionally Customizing the Development Packages Installation</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Because the Yocto Project is suited for embedded Linux development, it is
+ likely that you will need to customize your development packages installation.
+ For example, if you are developing a minimal image, then you might not need
+ certain packages (e.g. graphics support packages).
+ Thus, you would like to be able to remove those packages from your target sysroot.
+ </para>
+
+<section id='package-management-systems'>
+ <title>Package Management Systems</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The OpenEmbedded build system supports the generation of sysroot files using
+ three different Package Management Systems (PMS):
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>OPKG:</emphasis> A less well known PMS whose use
+ originated in the OpenEmbedded and OpenWrt embedded Linux projects.
+ This PMS works with files packaged in an <filename>.ipk</filename> format.
+ See <ulink url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opkg'></ulink> for more
+ information about OPKG.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>RPM:</emphasis> A more widely known PMS intended for GNU/Linux
+ distributions.
+ This PMS works with files packaged in an <filename>.rpm</filename> format.
+ The build system currently installs through this PMS by default.
+ See <ulink url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager'></ulink>
+ for more information about RPM.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Debian:</emphasis> The PMS for Debian-based systems
+ is built on many PMS tools.
+ The lower-level PMS tool <filename>dpkg</filename> forms the base of the Debian PMS.
+ For information on dpkg see
+ <ulink url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dpkg'></ulink>.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+</section>
+
+<section id='configuring-the-pms'>
+ <title>Configuring the PMS</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Whichever PMS you are using, you need to be sure that the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGE_CLASSES'><filename>PACKAGE_CLASSES</filename></ulink>
+ variable in the <filename>conf/local.conf</filename>
+ file is set to reflect that system.
+ The first value you choose for the variable specifies the package file format for the root
+ filesystem at sysroot.
+ Additional values specify additional formats for convenience or testing.
+ See the <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> configuration file for
+ details.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ For build performance information related to the PMS, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-package'><filename>package.bbclass</filename></ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
+ </note>
+
+ <para>
+ As an example, consider a scenario where you are using OPKG and you want to add
+ the <filename>libglade</filename> package to the target sysroot.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ First, you should generate the IPK file for the
+ <filename>libglade</filename> package and add it
+ into a working <filename>opkg</filename> repository.
+ Use these commands:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake libglade
+ $ bitbake package-index
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Next, source the cross-toolchain environment setup script found in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
+ Follow that by setting up the installation destination to point to your
+ sysroot as <replaceable>sysroot_dir</replaceable>.
+ Finally, have an OPKG configuration file <replaceable>conf_file</replaceable>
+ that corresponds to the <filename>opkg</filename> repository you have just created.
+ The following command forms should now work:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ opkg-cl –f <replaceable>conf_file</replaceable> -o <replaceable>sysroot_dir</replaceable> update
+ $ opkg-cl –f <replaceable>cconf_file</replaceable> -o <replaceable>sysroot_dir</replaceable> \

+ $ opkg-cl –f <replaceable>cconf_file</replaceable> -o <replaceable>sysroot_dir</replaceable> \
+ --force-overwrite install libglade-dbg
+ $ opkg-cl –f <replaceable>conf_file> -o </replaceable>sysroot_dir> \

+ To build the toolchain installer and populate the SDK image, use the

+ Another powerful feature is that the toolchain is completely

+ This feature takes advantage of the fact that the target hardware can

+ You can download the pre-built Linux kernel suitable for running in the QEMU emulator from
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_QEMU_DL_URL;'></ulink>.
+ Be sure to use the kernel that matches the architecture you want to simulate.
+ Download areas exist for the five supported machine architectures:
+ <filename>qemuarm</filename>, <filename>qemumips</filename>, <filename>qemuppc</filename>,
+ <filename>qemux86</filename>, and <filename>qemux86-64</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Most kernel files have one of the following forms:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ *zImage-qemu<replaceable>arch</replaceable>.bin
+ vmlinux-qemu<replaceable>arch</replaceable>.bin
+
+ Where:
+ <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the target architecture:
+ x86, x86-64, ppc, mips, or arm.
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can learn more about downloading a Yocto Project kernel in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#local-kernel-files'>Yocto Project Kernel</ulink>"
+ bulleted item in the Yocto Project Development Manual.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='downloading-the-filesystem'>
+ <title>Downloading the Filesystem</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You can also download the filesystem image suitable for your target architecture from
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_QEMU_DL_URL;'></ulink>.
+ Again, be sure to use the filesystem that matches the architecture you want
+ to simulate.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The filesystem image has two tarball forms: <filename>ext3</filename> and
+ <filename>tar</filename>.
+ You must use the <filename>ext3</filename> form when booting an image using the
+ QEMU emulator.
+ The <filename>tar</filename> form can be flattened out in your host development system
+ and used for build purposes with the Yocto Project.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ core-image-<replaceable>profile</replaceable>-qemu<replaceable>arch</replaceable>.ext3
+ core-image-<replaceable>profile</replaceable>-qemu<replaceable>arch</replaceable>.tar.bz2
+
+ Where:
+ <replaceable>profile</replaceable> is the filesystem image's profile:
+ lsb, lsb-dev, lsb-sdk, lsb-qt3, minimal, minimal-dev, sato,
+ sato-dev, or sato-sdk. For information on these types of image
+ profiles, see the "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-images'>Images</ulink>"
+ chapter in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
+
+ <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the target architecture:
+ x86, x86-64, ppc, mips, or arm.
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='setting-up-the-environment-and-starting-the-qemu-emulator'>
+ <title>Setting Up the Environment and Starting the QEMU Emulator</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Before you start the QEMU emulator, you need to set up the emulation environment.
+ The following command form sets up the emulation environment.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ source &YOCTO_ADTPATH_DIR;/environment-setup-<replaceable>arch</replaceable>-poky-linux-<replaceable>if</replaceable>
+
+ Where:
+ <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the target architecture:
+ i586, x86_64, ppc603e, mips, or armv5te.
+
+ <replaceable>if</replaceable> is a string representing an embedded application binary interface.
+ Not all setup scripts include this string.
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Finally, this command form invokes the QEMU emulator
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ runqemu <replaceable>qemuarch</replaceable> <replaceable>kernel-image</replaceable> <replaceable>filesystem-image</replaceable>
+
+ Where:
+ <replaceable>qemuarch</replaceable> is a string representing the target architecture: qemux86, qemux86-64,
+ qemuppc, qemumips, or qemuarm.
+
+ <replaceable>kernel-image</replaceable> is the architecture-specific kernel image.
+
+ <replaceable>filesystem-image</replaceable> is the .ext3 filesystem image.
+
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Continuing with the example, the following two commands setup the emulation
+ environment and launch QEMU.
+ This example assumes the root filesystem (<filename>.ext3</filename> file) and
+ the pre-built kernel image file both reside in your home directory.
+ The kernel and filesystem are for a 32-bit target architecture.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ cd $HOME
+ $ source &YOCTO_ADTPATH_DIR;/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
+ $ runqemu qemux86 bzImage-qemux86.bin \
+ core-image-sato-qemux86.ext3
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The environment in which QEMU launches varies depending on the filesystem image and on the
+ target architecture.
+ For example, if you source the environment for the ARM target
+ architecture and then boot the minimal QEMU image, the emulator comes up in a new
+ shell in command-line mode.
+ However, if you boot the SDK image, QEMU comes up with a GUI.
+ <note>Booting the PPC image results in QEMU launching in the same shell in
+ command-line mode.</note>

+ Welcome!
+ This short document steps you through the process for a typical
+ image build using the Yocto Project.
+ The document also introduces how to configure a build for specific
+ hardware.
+ You will use Yocto Project to build a reference embedded OS
+ called Poky.
+ <note><title>Notes</title>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ The examples in this paper assume you are using a
+ native Linux system running a recent Ubuntu Linux
+ distribution.
+ If the machine you want to use Yocto Project on to
+ build an image
+ (<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>build host</ulink>)
+ is not a native Linux system, you can
+ still perform these steps by using CROss PlatformS
+ (CROPS) and setting up a Poky container.
+ See the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#setting-up-to-use-crops'>Setting Up to Use CROss PlatformS (CROPS)</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual for more
+ information.

+ You may use Windows Subsystem For Linux v2 to set up a build
+ host using Windows 10.
+ <note>
+ The Yocto Project is not compatible with WSLv1, it is
+ compatible but not officially supported nor validated
+ with WSLv2, if you still decide to use WSL please upgrade
+ to WSLv2.

+<title>Board Support Packages (BSP) - Developer's Guide</title>
+
+<para>
+ A Board Support Package (BSP) is a collection of information that
+ defines how to support a particular hardware device, set of devices, or
+ hardware platform.
+ The BSP includes information about the hardware features
+ present on the device and kernel configuration information along with any
+ additional hardware drivers required.
+ The BSP also lists any additional software
+ components required in addition to a generic Linux software stack for both
+ essential and optional platform features.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+ This guide presents information about BSP layers, defines a structure for components
+ so that BSPs follow a commonly understood layout, discusses how to customize
+ a recipe for a BSP, addresses BSP licensing, and provides information that
+ shows you how to create a
+ <link linkend='bsp-layers'>BSP Layer</link> using the
+ <link linkend='creating-a-new-bsp-layer-using-the-bitbake-layers-script'><filename>bitbake-layers</filename></link>
+ tool.
+</para>
+
+<section id='bsp-layers'>
+ <title>BSP Layers</title>
+
+ <para>
+ A BSP consists of a file structure inside a base directory.
+ Collectively, you can think of the base directory, its file structure,
+ and the contents as a <firstterm>BSP layer</firstterm>.
+ Although not a strict requirement, BSP layers in the Yocto Project
+ use the following well-established naming convention:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ meta-<replaceable>bsp_root_name</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ The string "meta-" is prepended to the machine or platform name, which is
+ <replaceable>bsp_root_name</replaceable> in the above form.
+ <note><title>Tip</title>
+ Because the BSP layer naming convention is well-established,
+ it is advisable to follow it when creating layers.
+ Technically speaking, a BSP layer name does not need to
+ start with <filename>meta-</filename>.
+ However, various scripts and tools in the Yocto Project
+ development environment assume this convention.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To help understand the BSP layer concept, consider the BSPs that the
+ Yocto Project supports and provides with each release.
+ You can see the layers in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#yocto-project-repositories'>Yocto Project Source Repositories</ulink>
+ through a web interface at
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'></ulink>.
+ If you go to that interface, you will find a list of repositories
+ under "Yocto Metadata Layers".
+ <note>
+ Layers that are no longer actively supported as part of the
+ Yocto Project appear under the heading "Yocto Metadata Layer
+ Archive."
+ </note>
+ Each repository is a BSP layer supported by the Yocto Project
+ (e.g. <filename>meta-raspberrypi</filename> and
+ <filename>meta-intel</filename>).
+ Each of these layers is a repository unto itself and clicking on
+ the layer name displays two URLs from which you can
+ clone the layer's repository to your local system.
+ Here is an example that clones the Raspberry Pi BSP layer:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-raspberrypi
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In addition to BSP layers, the
+ <filename>meta-yocto-bsp</filename> layer is part of the
+ shipped <filename>poky</filename> repository.
+ The <filename>meta-yocto-bsp</filename> layer maintains several
+ "reference" BSPs including the ARM-based Beaglebone, MIPS-based
+ EdgeRouter, and generic versions of
+ both 32-bit and 64-bit IA machines.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For information on typical BSP development workflow, see the
+ "<link linkend='developing-a-board-support-package-bsp'>Developing a Board Support Package (BSP)</link>"
+ section.
+ For more information on how to set up a local copy of source files
+ from a Git repository, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#locating-yocto-project-source-files'>Locating Yocto Project Source Files</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The BSP layer's base directory
+ (<filename>meta-<replaceable>bsp_root_name</replaceable></filename>)
+ is the root directory of that Layer.
+ This directory is what you add to the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BBLAYERS'><filename>BBLAYERS</filename></ulink>
+ variable in the <filename>conf/bblayers.conf</filename> file found in your
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>,
+ which is established after you run the OpenEmbedded build environment
+ setup script (i.e.
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#structure-core-script'><filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename></ulink>).
+ Adding the root directory allows the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>
+ to recognize the BSP layer and from it build an image.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BBLAYERS ?= " \
+ /usr/local/src/yocto/meta \
+ /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-poky \
+ /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-yocto-bsp \
+ /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-mylayer \
+ "
+ </literallayout>
+ <note><title>Tip</title>
+ Ordering and
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BBFILE_PRIORITY'><filename>BBFILE_PRIORITY</filename></ulink>
+ for the layers listed in <filename>BBLAYERS</filename>
+ matter.
+ For example, if multiple layers define a machine
+ configuration, the OpenEmbedded build system uses
+ the last layer searched given similar layer
+ priorities.
+ The build system works from the top-down through
+ the layers listed in <filename>BBLAYERS</filename>.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Some BSPs require or depend on additional layers
+ beyond the BSP's root layer in order to be functional.
+ In this case, you need to specify these layers in the
+ <filename>README</filename> "Dependencies" section of the
+ BSP's root layer.
+ Additionally, if any build instructions exist for the
+ BSP, you must add them to the "Dependencies" section.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Some layers function as a layer to hold other BSP layers.
+ These layers are knows as
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#term-container-layer'>container layers</ulink>".
+ An example of this type of layer is OpenEmbedded's
+ <ulink url='https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded'><filename>meta-openembedded</filename></ulink>
+ layer.
+ The <filename>meta-openembedded</filename> layer contains
+ many <filename>meta-*</filename> layers.
+ In cases like this, you need to include the names of the actual
+ layers you want to work with, such as:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BBLAYERS ?= " \
+ /usr/local/src/yocto/meta \
+ /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-poky \
+ /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-yocto-bsp \
+ /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-mylayer \
+ .../meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
+ .../meta-openembedded/meta-perl \
+ .../meta-openembedded/meta-networking \
+ "
+ </literallayout>
+ and so on.

+ Defining a common BSP directory structure allows

+ that standard.
+ A common format also encourages standardization

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The proposed form described in this section does

+ build system.
+ It is intended that developers can use this structure

+ system.
+ It is also intended that it will be be simple to extract
+ information and convert it to other formats if required.
+ The OpenEmbedded build system, through its standard
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#the-yocto-project-layer-model'>layers mechanism</ulink>,
+ can directly accept the format described as a layer.
+ The BSP layer captures all the hardware-specific details

+ for any person wishing to use the hardware platform
+ regardless of the build system they are using.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The BSP specification does not include a build system

+ Realize that it is important to maintain the distinction

+ In fact, a BSP is, in itself, a special type of layer.

+ is an application.
+ Suppose you are creating an application that has
+ library or other dependencies in order for it to
+ compile and run.
+ The layer, in this case, would be where all the

+ The key point for a layer is that it is an
+ isolated area that contains all the relevant
+ information for the project that the
+ OpenEmbedded build system knows about.

+ <title>Understanding and Creating Layers</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The OpenEmbedded build system supports organizing
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink> into
+ multiple layers.
+ Layers allow you to isolate different types of customizations from
+ each other.
+ For introductory information on the Yocto Project Layer Model,
+ see the

+ section in the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual.

+ <title>Creating Your Own Layer</title>
+
+ <para>
+ It is very easy to create your own layers to use with the
+ OpenEmbedded build system.
+ The Yocto Project ships with tools that speed up creating
+ layers.
+ This section describes the steps you perform by hand to create
+ layers so that you can better understand them.
+ For information about the layer-creation tools, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;#creating-a-new-bsp-layer-using-the-bitbake-layers-script'>Creating a New BSP Layer Using the <filename>bitbake-layers</filename> Script</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP)
+ Developer's Guide and the

+ section further down in this manual.

+ <para>
+ Follow these general steps to create your layer without using
+ tools:
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Check Existing Layers:</emphasis>
+ Before creating a new layer, you should be sure someone
+ has not already created a layer containing the Metadata
+ you need.
+ You can see the
+ <ulink url='http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/layers/'>OpenEmbedded Metadata Index</ulink>
+ for a list of layers from the OpenEmbedded community
+ that can be used in the Yocto Project.
+ You could find a layer that is identical or close to
+ what you need.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Create a Directory:</emphasis>
+ Create the directory for your layer.
+ When you create the layer, be sure to create the
+ directory in an area not associated with the
+ Yocto Project
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+ (e.g. the cloned <filename>poky</filename> repository).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>While not strictly required, prepend the name of
+ the directory with the string "meta-".
+ For example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ meta-mylayer
+ meta-GUI_xyz
+ meta-mymachine
+ </literallayout>
+ With rare exceptions, a layer's name follows this
+ form:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ meta-<replaceable>root_name</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ Following this layer naming convention can
+ save you trouble later when tools, components, or
+ variables "assume" your layer name begins with "meta-".
+ A notable example is in configuration files as
+ shown in the following step where layer names without
+ the "meta-" string are appended
+ to several variables used in the configuration.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para id='dev-layer-config-file-description'>
+ <emphasis>Create a Layer Configuration File:</emphasis>
+ Inside your new layer folder, you need to create a

+ <title>Following Best Practices When Creating Layers</title>
+
+ <para>
+ To create layers that are easier to maintain and that will
+ not impact builds for other machines, you should consider the
+ information in the following list:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Avoid "Overlaying" Entire Recipes from Other Layers in Your Configuration:</emphasis>
+ In other words, do not copy an entire recipe into your
+ layer and then modify it.
+ Rather, use an append file
+ (<filename>.bbappend</filename>) to override only those
+ parts of the original recipe you need to modify.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Avoid Duplicating Include Files:</emphasis>
+ Use append files (<filename>.bbappend</filename>)
+ for each recipe that uses an include file.
+ Or, if you are introducing a new recipe that requires
+ the included file, use the path relative to the
+ original layer directory to refer to the file.
+ For example, use
+ <filename>require recipes-core/</filename><replaceable>package</replaceable><filename>/</filename><replaceable>file</replaceable><filename>.inc</filename>
+ instead of
+ <filename>require </filename><replaceable>file</replaceable><filename>.inc</filename>.
+ If you're finding you have to overlay the include file,
+ it could indicate a deficiency in the include file in
+ the layer to which it originally belongs.
+ If this is the case, you should try to address that
+ deficiency instead of overlaying the include file.
+ For example, you could address this by getting the
+ maintainer of the include file to add a variable or
+ variables to make it easy to override the parts needing
+ to be overridden.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Structure Your Layers:</emphasis>
+ Proper use of overrides within append files and
+ placement of machine-specific files within your layer
+ can ensure that a build is not using the wrong Metadata
+ and negatively impacting a build for a different
+ machine.
+ Following are some examples:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Modify Variables to Support a
+ Different Machine:</emphasis>
+ Suppose you have a layer named
+ <filename>meta-one</filename> that adds support
+ for building machine "one".
+ To do so, you use an append file named
+ <filename>base-files.bbappend</filename> and
+ create a dependency on "foo" by altering the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></ulink>
+ variable:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ DEPENDS = "foo"
+ </literallayout>
+ The dependency is created during any build that
+ includes the layer
+ <filename>meta-one</filename>.
+ However, you might not want this dependency
+ for all machines.
+ For example, suppose you are building for
+ machine "two" but your
+ <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file has the
+ <filename>meta-one</filename> layer included.
+ During the build, the
+ <filename>base-files</filename> for machine
+ "two" will also have the dependency on
+ <filename>foo</filename>.</para>
+ <para>To make sure your changes apply only when
+ building machine "one", use a machine override
+ with the <filename>DEPENDS</filename> statement:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ DEPENDS_one = "foo"
+ </literallayout>
+ You should follow the same strategy when using
+ <filename>_append</filename> and
+ <filename>_prepend</filename> operations:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ DEPENDS_append_one = " foo"
+ DEPENDS_prepend_one = "foo "
+ </literallayout>
+ As an actual example, here's a snippet from the
+ generic kernel include file
+ <filename>linux-yocto.inc</filename>,
+ wherein the kernel compile and link options are
+ adjusted in the case of a subset of the supported
+ architectures:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ DEPENDS_append_aarch64 = " libgcc"
+ KERNEL_CC_append_aarch64 = " ${TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS}"
+ KERNEL_LD_append_aarch64 = " ${TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS}"
+
+ DEPENDS_append_nios2 = " libgcc"
+ KERNEL_CC_append_nios2 = " ${TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS}"
+ KERNEL_LD_append_nios2 = " ${TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS}"
+
+ DEPENDS_append_arc = " libgcc"
+ KERNEL_CC_append_arc = " ${TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS}"
+ KERNEL_LD_append_arc = " ${TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS}"
+
+ KERNEL_FEATURES_append_qemuall=" features/debug/printk.scc"
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ Avoiding "+=" and "=+" and using
+ machine-specific
+ <filename>_append</filename>
+ and <filename>_prepend</filename> operations
+ is recommended as well.
+ </note>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Place Machine-Specific Files in
+ Machine-Specific Locations:</emphasis>
+ When you have a base recipe, such as
+ <filename>base-files.bb</filename>, that
+ contains a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+ statement to a file, you can use an append file
+ to cause the build to use your own version of
+ the file.
+ For example, an append file in your layer at
+ <filename>meta-one/recipes-core/base-files/base-files.bbappend</filename>
+ could extend
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESPATH'><filename>FILESPATH</filename></ulink>
+ using
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESEXTRAPATHS'><filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename></ulink>
+ as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${BPN}:"
+ </literallayout>
+ The build for machine "one" will pick up your
+ machine-specific file as long as you have the
+ file in
+ <filename>meta-one/recipes-core/base-files/base-files/</filename>.
+ However, if you are building for a different
+ machine and the
+ <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file includes
+ the <filename>meta-one</filename> layer and
+ the location of your machine-specific file is
+ the first location where that file is found
+ according to <filename>FILESPATH</filename>,
+ builds for all machines will also use that
+ machine-specific file.</para>
+ <para>You can make sure that a machine-specific
+ file is used for a particular machine by putting
+ the file in a subdirectory specific to the
+ machine.
+ For example, rather than placing the file in
+ <filename>meta-one/recipes-core/base-files/base-files/</filename>
+ as shown above, put it in
+ <filename>meta-one/recipes-core/base-files/base-files/one/</filename>.
+ Not only does this make sure the file is used
+ only when building for machine "one", but the
+ build process locates the file more quickly.</para>
+ <para>In summary, you need to place all files
+ referenced from <filename>SRC_URI</filename>
+ in a machine-specific subdirectory within the
+ layer in order to restrict those files to
+ machine-specific builds.

+
+ <section id='usingpoky-extend-customimage-localconf'>
+ <title>Customizing Images Using <filename>local.conf</filename></title>
+
+ <para>
+ Probably the easiest way to customize an image is to add a
+ package by way of the <filename>local.conf</filename>
+ configuration file.
+ Because it is limited to local use, this method generally only
+ allows you to add packages and is not as flexible as creating
+ your own customized image.
+ When you add packages using local variables this way, you need
+ to realize that these variable changes are in effect for every
+ build and consequently affect all images, which might not
+ be what you require.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To add a package to your image using the local configuration
+ file, use the
+ <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'>IMAGE_INSTALL</ulink></filename>
+ variable with the <filename>_append</filename> operator:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " strace"
+ </literallayout>
+ Use of the syntax is important - specifically, the space between
+ the quote and the package name, which is
+ <filename>strace</filename> in this example.
+ This space is required since the <filename>_append</filename>
+ operator does not add the space.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Furthermore, you must use <filename>_append</filename> instead
+ of the <filename>+=</filename> operator if you want to avoid
+ ordering issues.
+ The reason for this is because doing so unconditionally appends
+ to the variable and avoids ordering problems due to the
+ variable being set in image recipes and
+ <filename>.bbclass</filename> files with operators like
+ <filename>?=</filename>.
+ Using <filename>_append</filename> ensures the operation takes
+ affect.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As shown in its simplest use,
+ <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL_append</filename> affects all images.
+ It is possible to extend the syntax so that the variable
+ applies to a specific image only.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ IMAGE_INSTALL_append_pn-core-image-minimal = " strace"
+ </literallayout>
+ This example adds <filename>strace</filename> to the
+ <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> image only.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can add packages using a similar approach through the
+ <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL'>CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL</ulink></filename>
+ variable.
+ If you use this variable, only
+ <filename>core-image-*</filename> images are affected.

+ <title>Customizing Images Using Custom <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> and

+ Another method for customizing your image is to enable or

+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_FEATURES'><filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename></ulink>
+ and <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES'><filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename></ulink>
+ variables.
+ Although the functions for both variables are nearly equivalent,
+ best practices dictate using <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename>
+ from within a recipe and using
+ <filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> from within
+ your <filename>local.conf</filename> file, which is found in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To understand how these features work, the best reference is
+ <filename>meta/classes/core-image.bbclass</filename>.
+ This class lists out the available
+ <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> of which most map to
+ package groups while some, such as
+ <filename>debug-tweaks</filename> and
+ <filename>read-only-rootfs</filename>, resolve as general
+ configuration settings.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In summary, the file looks at the contents of the
+ <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> variable and then maps
+ or configures the feature accordingly.
+ Based on this information, the build system automatically
+ adds the appropriate packages or configurations to the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'><filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename></ulink>
+ variable.
+ Effectively, you are enabling extra features by extending the
+ class or creating a custom class for use with specialized image
+ <filename>.bb</filename> files.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Use the <filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> variable
+ from within your local configuration file.
+ Using a separate area from which to enable features with
+ this variable helps you avoid overwriting the features in the
+ image recipe that are enabled with
+ <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename>.
+ The value of <filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> is added
+ to <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> within
+ <filename>meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To illustrate how you can use these variables to modify your
+ image, consider an example that selects the SSH server.
+ The Yocto Project ships with two SSH servers you can use
+ with your images: Dropbear and OpenSSH.
+ Dropbear is a minimal SSH server appropriate for
+ resource-constrained environments, while OpenSSH is a
+ well-known standard SSH server implementation.
+ By default, the <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image
+ is configured to use Dropbear.
+ The <filename>core-image-full-cmdline</filename> and
+ <filename>core-image-lsb</filename> images both
+ include OpenSSH.
+ The <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> image does not
+ contain an SSH server.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can customize your image and change these defaults.
+ Edit the <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> variable
+ in your recipe or use the
+ <filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> in your
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> file so that it configures the
+ image you are working with to include
+ <filename>ssh-server-dropbear</filename> or
+ <filename>ssh-server-openssh</filename>.

+ <section id='new-recipe-fetching-code'>
+ <title>Fetching Code</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The first thing your recipe must do is specify how to fetch
+ the source files.
+ Fetching is controlled mainly through the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+ variable.
+ Your recipe must have a <filename>SRC_URI</filename> variable
+ that points to where the source is located.
+ For a graphical representation of source locations, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#sources-dev-environment'>Sources</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-fetch'><filename>do_fetch</filename></ulink>
+ task uses the prefix of each entry in the
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename> variable value to determine which
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#bb-fetchers'>fetcher</ulink>
+ to use to get your source files.
+ It is the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> variable that triggers
+ the fetcher.
+ The
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-patch'><filename>do_patch</filename></ulink>
+ task uses the variable after source is fetched to apply
+ patches.
+ The OpenEmbedded build system uses
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESOVERRIDES'><filename>FILESOVERRIDES</filename></ulink>
+ for scanning directory locations for local files in
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>SRC_URI</filename> variable in your recipe must
+ define each unique location for your source files.
+ It is good practice to not hard-code version numbers in a URL used
+ in <filename>SRC_URI</filename>.
+ Rather than hard-code these values, use
+ <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></ulink><filename>}</filename>,
+ which causes the fetch process to use the version specified in
+ the recipe filename.
+ Specifying the version in this manner means that upgrading the
+ recipe to a future version is as simple as renaming the recipe
+ to match the new version.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Here is a simple example from the
+ <filename>meta/recipes-devtools/strace/strace_5.5.bb</filename>
+ recipe where the source comes from a single tarball.
+ Notice the use of the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></ulink>

+ the
+ "<link linkend='new-recipe-autotooled-package'>Autotooled Package</link>"
+ section.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another way of specifying source is from an SCM.
+ For Git repositories, you must specify
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRCREV'><filename>SRCREV</filename></ulink>
+ and you should specify
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></ulink>
+ to include the revision with
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRCPV'><filename>SRCPV</filename></ulink>.

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If your <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement includes
+ URLs pointing to individual files fetched from a remote server
+ other than a version control system, BitBake attempts to
+ verify the files against checksums defined in your recipe to
+ ensure they have not been tampered with or otherwise modified
+ since the recipe was written.
+ Two checksums are used:
+ <filename>SRC_URI[md5sum]</filename> and
+ <filename>SRC_URI[sha256sum]</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If your <filename>SRC_URI</filename> variable points to

+ For these cases, you provide a name for each URL as part of
+ the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> and then reference that name

+
+ <para>
+ Proper values for <filename>md5</filename> and

+ source (e.g. <filename>md5</filename>,

+ <filename>GPG</filename>, and so forth).

+ If no <filename>SRC_URI</filename> checksums are specified

+ <title>Dependencies</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Most software packages have a short list of other packages
+ that they require, which are called dependencies.
+ These dependencies fall into two main categories: build-time
+ dependencies, which are required when the software is built;
+ and runtime dependencies, which are required to be installed
+ on the target in order for the software to run.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Within a recipe, you specify build-time dependencies using the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></ulink>
+ variable.
+ Although nuances exist, items specified in
+ <filename>DEPENDS</filename> should be names of other recipes.
+ It is important that you specify all build-time dependencies
+ explicitly.
+ If you do not, due to the parallel nature of BitBake's
+ execution, you can end up with a race condition where the
+ dependency is present for one task of a recipe (e.g.
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-configure'><filename>do_configure</filename></ulink>)
+ and then gone when the next task runs (e.g.
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-compile'><filename>do_compile</filename></ulink>).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another consideration is that configure scripts might
+ automatically check for optional dependencies and enable
+ corresponding functionality if those dependencies are found.
+ This behavior means that to ensure deterministic results and
+ thus avoid more race conditions, you need to either explicitly
+ specify these dependencies as well, or tell the configure
+ script explicitly to disable the functionality.
+ If you wish to make a recipe that is more generally useful
+ (e.g. publish the recipe in a layer for others to use),
+ instead of hard-disabling the functionality, you can use the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGECONFIG'><filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename></ulink>
+ variable to allow functionality and the corresponding
+ dependencies to be enabled and disabled easily by other
+ users of the recipe.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Similar to build-time dependencies, you specify runtime
+ dependencies through a variable -
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-RDEPENDS'><filename>RDEPENDS</filename></ulink>,
+ which is package-specific.
+ All variables that are package-specific need to have the name
+ of the package added to the end as an override.
+ Since the main package for a recipe has the same name as the
+ recipe, and the recipe's name can be found through the
+ <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></ulink><filename>}</filename>
+ variable, then you specify the dependencies for the main
+ package by setting <filename>RDEPENDS_${PN}</filename>.
+ If the package were named <filename>${PN}-tools</filename>,
+ then you would set <filename>RDEPENDS_${PN}-tools</filename>,
+ and so forth.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Some runtime dependencies will be set automatically at
+ packaging time.
+ These dependencies include any shared library dependencies
+ (i.e. if a package "example" contains "libexample" and
+ another package "mypackage" contains a binary that links to
+ "libexample" then the OpenEmbedded build system will
+ automatically add a runtime dependency to "mypackage" on
+ "example").

+ file.
+ These headers are used to build <filename>libc</filename> and

+ If you customize <filename>libc</filename> through modified

+ <note><title>Warning</title>
+ Never copy and customize the <filename>libc</filename>
+ header file (i.e.

+ <title>Sharing Files Between Recipes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Recipes often need to use files provided by other recipes on
+ the build host.
+ For example, an application linking to a common library needs
+ access to the library itself and its associated headers.
+ The way this access is accomplished is by populating a sysroot
+ with files.
+ Each recipe has two sysroots in its work directory, one for
+ target files
+ (<filename>recipe-sysroot</filename>) and one for files that
+ are native to the build host
+ (<filename>recipe-sysroot-native</filename>).
+ <note>
+ You could find the term "staging" used within the Yocto
+ project regarding files populating sysroots (e.g. the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-STAGING_DIR'><filename>STAGING_DIR</filename></ulink>
+ variable).
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Recipes should never populate the sysroot directly (i.e. write
+ files into sysroot).
+ Instead, files should be installed into standard locations
+ during the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></ulink>
+ task within the
+ <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-D'><filename>D</filename></ulink><filename>}</filename>
+ directory.
+ The reason for this limitation is that almost all files that
+ populate the sysroot are cataloged in manifests in order to
+ ensure the files can be removed later when a recipe is either
+ modified or removed.
+ Thus, the sysroot is able to remain free from stale files.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A subset of the files installed by the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></ulink>
+ task are used by the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-populate_sysroot'><filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename></ulink>
+ task as defined by the the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SYSROOT_DIRS'><filename>SYSROOT_DIRS</filename></ulink>
+ variable to automatically populate the sysroot.
+ It is possible to modify the list of directories that populate
+ the sysroot.

+ <title>Using Virtual Providers</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Prior to a build, if you know that several different recipes
+ provide the same functionality, you can use a virtual provider
+ (i.e. <filename>virtual/*</filename>) as a placeholder for the
+ actual provider.
+ The actual provider is determined at build-time.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A common scenario where a virtual provider is used would be
+ for the kernel recipe.
+ Suppose you have three kernel recipes whose
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></ulink>
+ values map to <filename>kernel-big</filename>,
+ <filename>kernel-mid</filename>, and
+ <filename>kernel-small</filename>.
+ Furthermore, each of these recipes in some way uses a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PROVIDES'><filename>PROVIDES</filename></ulink>
+ statement that essentially identifies itself as being able
+ to provide <filename>virtual/kernel</filename>.
+ Here is one way through the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-kernel'><filename>kernel</filename></ulink>
+ class:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PROVIDES += "${@ "virtual/kernel" if (d.getVar("KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME") == "kernel") else "" }"
+ </literallayout>
+ Any recipe that inherits the <filename>kernel</filename> class
+ is going to utilize a <filename>PROVIDES</filename> statement
+ that identifies that recipe as being able to provide the
+ <filename>virtual/kernel</filename> item.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Now comes the time to actually build an image and you need a
+ kernel recipe, but which one?
+ You can configure your build to call out the kernel recipe
+ you want by using the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PREFERRED_PROVIDER'><filename>PREFERRED_PROVIDER</filename></ulink>
+ variable.
+ As an example, consider the
+ <ulink url='https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/machine/include/x86-base.inc'><filename>x86-base.inc</filename></ulink>
+ include file, which is a machine
+ (i.e. <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></ulink>)
+ configuration file.
+ This include file is the reason all x86-based machines use the
+ <filename>linux-yocto</filename> kernel.
+ Here are the relevant lines from the include file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ??= "linux-yocto"
+ PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto ??= "4.15%"
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you use a virtual provider, you do not have to
+ "hard code" a recipe name as a build dependency.
+ You can use the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></ulink>
+ variable to state the build is dependent on
+ <filename>virtual/kernel</filename> for example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ DEPENDS = "virtual/kernel"
+ </literallayout>
+ During the build, the OpenEmbedded build system picks
+ the correct recipe needed for the
+ <filename>virtual/kernel</filename> dependency based on the
+ <filename>PREFERRED_PROVIDER</filename> variable.
+ If you want to use the small kernel mentioned at the beginning
+ of this section, configure your build as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ??= "kernel-small"
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ Any recipe that
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PROVIDES'><filename>PROVIDES</filename></ulink>
+ a <filename>virtual/*</filename> item that is ultimately
+ not selected through
+ <filename>PREFERRED_PROVIDER</filename> does not get built.
+ Preventing these recipes from building is usually the
+ desired behavior since this mechanism's purpose is to

+ <title>Properly Versioning Pre-Release Recipes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Sometimes the name of a recipe can lead to versioning
+ problems when the recipe is upgraded to a final release.
+ For example, consider the
+ <filename>irssi_0.8.16-rc1.bb</filename> recipe file in
+ the list of example recipes in the
+ "<link linkend='new-recipe-storing-and-naming-the-recipe'>Storing and Naming the Recipe</link>"
+ section.
+ This recipe is at a release candidate stage (i.e.
+ "rc1").
+ When the recipe is released, the recipe filename becomes
+ <filename>irssi_0.8.16.bb</filename>.
+ The version change from <filename>0.8.16-rc1</filename>
+ to <filename>0.8.16</filename> is seen as a decrease by the
+ build system and package managers, so the resulting packages
+ will not correctly trigger an upgrade.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In order to ensure the versions compare properly, the
+ recommended convention is to set
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></ulink>
+ within the recipe to
+ "<replaceable>previous_version</replaceable>+<replaceable>current_version</replaceable>".
+ You can use an additional variable so that you can use the

+ <section id='new-recipe-post-installation-scripts'>
+ <title>Post-Installation Scripts</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Post-installation scripts run immediately after installing
+ a package on the target or during image creation when a
+ package is included in an image.
+ To add a post-installation script to a package, add a
+ <filename>pkg_postinst_</filename><replaceable>PACKAGENAME</replaceable><filename>()</filename> function to
+ the recipe file (<filename>.bb</filename>) and replace
+ <replaceable>PACKAGENAME</replaceable> with the name of the package
+ you want to attach to the <filename>postinst</filename>
+ script.
+ To apply the post-installation script to the main package
+ for the recipe, which is usually what is required, specify
+ <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></ulink><filename>}</filename>
+ in place of <replaceable>PACKAGENAME</replaceable>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A post-installation function has the following structure:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ pkg_postinst_<replaceable>PACKAGENAME</replaceable>() {
+ # Commands to carry out
+ }
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The script defined in the post-installation function is
+ called when the root filesystem is created.
+ If the script succeeds, the package is marked as installed.
+ <note>
+ Any RPM post-installation script that runs on the target
+ should return a 0 exit code.
+ RPM does not allow non-zero exit codes for these scripts,
+ and the RPM package manager will cause the package to fail
+ installation on the target.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Sometimes it is necessary for the execution of a
+ post-installation script to be delayed until the first boot.
+ For example, the script might need to be executed on the
+ device itself.
+ To delay script execution until boot time, you must explicitly
+ mark post installs to defer to the target.
+ You can use <filename>pkg_postinst_ontarget()</filename> or
+ call
+ <filename>postinst_intercept delay_to_first_boot</filename>
+ from <filename>pkg_postinst()</filename>.
+ Any failure of a <filename>pkg_postinst()</filename> script
+ (including exit 1) triggers an error during the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-rootfs'><filename>do_rootfs</filename></ulink>
+ task.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you have recipes that use
+ <filename>pkg_postinst</filename> function
+ and they require the use of non-standard native
+ tools that have dependencies during rootfs construction, you
+ need to use the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS'><filename>PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS</filename></ulink>
+ variable in your recipe to list these tools.
+ If you do not use this variable, the tools might be missing and
+ execution of the post-installation script is deferred until
+ first boot.
+ Deferring the script to first boot is undesirable and for
+ read-only rootfs impossible.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ Equivalent support for pre-install, pre-uninstall, and
+ post-uninstall scripts exist by way of
+ <filename>pkg_preinst</filename>,
+ <filename>pkg_prerm</filename>, and
+ <filename>pkg_postrm</filename>, respectively.
+ These scrips work in exactly the same way as does
+ <filename>pkg_postinst</filename> with the exception
+ that they run at different times.
+ Also, because of when they run, they are not applicable to
+ being run at image creation time like

+ Sometimes, you need to add pre-compiled binaries to an

+ For example, suppose that binaries for proprietary code
+ exist, which are created by a particular division of a
+ company.
+ Your part of the company needs to use those binaries as
+ part of an image that you are building using the
+ OpenEmbedded build system.
+ Since you only have the binaries and not the source code,

+ The easiest solution is to create a recipe that uses

+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-bin-package'><filename>bin_package</filename></ulink>
+ class and to be sure that you are using default locations
+ for build artifacts.
+ In most cases, the <filename>bin_package</filename> class
+ handles "skipping" the configure and compile steps as well
+ as sets things up to grab packages from the appropriate
+ area.
+ In particular, this class sets <filename>noexec</filename>
+ on both the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-configure'><filename>do_configure</filename></ulink>
+ and
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-compile'><filename>do_compile</filename></ulink>

+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></ulink>
+ task, which effectively copies all files from

+ <emphasis>Variable Assignments and Manipulations:</emphasis>
+ Variable assignments allow a value to be assigned to a
+ variable.
+ The assignment can be static text or might include
+ the contents of other variables.
+ In addition to the assignment, appending and prepending
+ operations are also supported.</para>
+
+ <para>The following example shows some of the ways

+ <emphasis>Functions:</emphasis>
+ Functions provide a series of actions to be performed.
+ You usually use functions to override the default
+ implementation of a task function or to complement
+ a default function (i.e. append or prepend to an
+ existing function).
+ Standard functions use <filename>sh</filename> shell
+ syntax, although access to OpenEmbedded variables and

+
+ <para>The following is an example function from the
+ <filename>sed</filename> recipe:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ do_install () {
+ autotools_do_install
+ install -d ${D}${base_bindir}
+ mv ${D}${bindir}/sed ${D}${base_bindir}/sed
+ rmdir ${D}${bindir}/
+ }
+ </literallayout>
+ It is also possible to implement new functions that
+ are called between existing tasks as long as the
+ new functions are not replacing or complementing the
+ default functions.
+ You can implement functions in Python
+ instead of shell.
+ Both of these options are not seen in the majority of

+ <emphasis>Create Separate Configuration Files</emphasis>:
+ You need to create a single configuration file for

+ Minimally, each configuration file must define the

+ Suggested practice dictates that you do not
+ overlap the temporary directories

+ However, it is possible that you can share the
+ temporary directory
+ (<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TMPDIR'><filename>TMPDIR</filename></ulink>).
+ For example, consider a scenario with two
+ different multiconfigs for the same
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></ulink>: "qemux86" built for
+ two distributions such as "poky" and "poky-lsb".

+ <title>Enabling Multiple Configuration Build Dependencies</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Sometimes dependencies can exist between targets
+ (multiconfigs) in a multiple configuration build.
+ For example, suppose that in order to build a
+ <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image for an "x86"
+ multiconfig, the root filesystem of an "arm"
+ multiconfig must exist.
+ This dependency is essentially that the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-image'><filename>do_image</filename></ulink>
+ task in the <filename>core-image-sato</filename> recipe
+ depends on the completion of the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-rootfs'><filename>do_rootfs</filename></ulink>
+ task of the <filename>core-image-minimal</filename>
+ recipe.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To enable dependencies in a multiple configuration
+ build, you must declare the dependencies in the recipe
+ using the following statement form:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <replaceable>task_or_package</replaceable>[mcdepends] = "mc:<replaceable>from_multiconfig</replaceable>:<replaceable>to_multiconfig</replaceable>:<replaceable>recipe_name</replaceable>:<replaceable>task_on_which_to_depend</replaceable>"
+ </literallayout>
+ To better show how to use this statement, consider the
+ example scenario from the first paragraph of this section.
+ The following statement needs to be added to the recipe
+ that builds the <filename>core-image-sato</filename>
+ image:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ do_image[mcdepends] = "mc:x86:arm:core-image-minimal:do_rootfs"
+ </literallayout>
+ In this example, the
+ <replaceable>from_multiconfig</replaceable> is "x86".
+ The <replaceable>to_multiconfig</replaceable> is "arm".
+ The task on which the <filename>do_image</filename> task
+ in the recipe depends is the <filename>do_rootfs</filename>
+ task from the <filename>core-image-minimal</filename>
+ recipe associated with the "arm" multiconfig.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once you set up this dependency, you can build the
+ "x86" multiconfig using a BitBake command as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake mc:x86:core-image-sato
+ </literallayout>
+ This command executes all the tasks needed to create
+ the <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image for the
+ "x86" multiconfig.
+ Because of the dependency, BitBake also executes through
+ the <filename>do_rootfs</filename> task for the "arm"
+ multiconfig build.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Having a recipe depend on the root filesystem of another
+ build might not seem that useful.
+ Consider this change to the statement in the
+ <filename>core-image-sato</filename> recipe:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ do_image[mcdepends] = "mc:x86:arm:core-image-minimal:do_image"
+ </literallayout>
+ In this case, BitBake must create the
+ <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> image for the
+ "arm" build since the "x86" build depends on it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Because "x86" and "arm" are enabled for multiple
+ configuration builds and have separate configuration
+ files, BitBake places the artifacts for each build in the

+ To change things, you can configure how the packaging happens,
+ which changes the way you build them.
+ You can also modify the filesystem itself or select a different
+ filesystem.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ First, find out what is hogging your root filesystem by running the
+ <filename>dirsize.py</filename> script from your root directory:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ cd <replaceable>root-directory-of-image</replaceable>
+ $ dirsize.py 100000 > dirsize-100k.log
+ $ cat dirsize-100k.log
+ </literallayout>
+ You can apply a filter to the script to ignore files under
+ a certain size.
+ The previous example filters out any files below 100 Kbytes.
+ The sizes reported by the tool are uncompressed, and thus
+ will be smaller by a relatively constant factor in a
+ compressed root filesystem.
+ When you examine your log file, you can focus on areas of the
+ root filesystem that take up large amounts of memory.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You need to be sure that what you eliminate does not cripple
+ the functionality you need.
+ One way to see how packages relate to each other is by using
+ the Dependency Explorer UI with the BitBake command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ cd <replaceable>image-directory</replaceable>
+ $ bitbake -u taskexp -g <replaceable>image</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ Use the interface to select potential packages you wish to
+ eliminate and see their dependency relationships.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When deciding how to reduce the size, get rid of packages that
+ result in minimal impact on the feature set.
+ For example, you might not need a VGA display.
+ Or, you might be able to get by with <filename>devtmpfs</filename>
+ and <filename>mdev</filename> instead of

+ local configuration file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager = ""
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Finally, you should consider exactly the type of root
+ filesystem you need to meet your needs while also reducing
+ its size.
+ For example, consider <filename>cramfs</filename>,

+ <filename>ext2</filename>, or an <filename>initramfs</filename>

+ <emphasis>Enable the Appropriate Package Architecture:</emphasis>
+ By default, the OpenEmbedded build system enables three
+ levels of package architectures: "all", "tune" or "package",
+ and "machine".
+ Any given recipe usually selects one of these package
+ architectures (types) for its output.
+ Depending for what a given recipe creates packages, making
+ sure you enable the appropriate package architecture can
+ directly impact the build time.</para>
+
+ <para>A recipe that just generates scripts can enable
+ "all" architecture because there are no binaries to build.
+ To specifically enable "all" architecture, be sure your
+ recipe inherits the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-allarch'><filename>allarch</filename></ulink>
+ class.
+ This class is useful for "all" architectures because it
+ configures many variables so packages can be used across
+ multiple architectures.</para>
+
+ <para>If your recipe needs to generate packages that are
+ machine-specific or when one of the build or runtime
+ dependencies is already machine-architecture dependent,
+ which makes your recipe also machine-architecture dependent,

+ <emphasis>Manage Granular Level Packaging:</emphasis>
+ Sometimes cases exist where injecting another level of
+ package architecture beyond the three higher levels noted

+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-freescale/'><filename>meta-freescale</filename></ulink>.

+ class shares GPU packages for i.MX53 boards because
+ all boards share the AMD GPU.
+ The i.MX6-based boards can do the same because all boards
+ share the Vivante GPU.
+ This class inspects the BitBake datastore to identify if
+ the package provides or depends on one of the
+ sub-architecture values.
+ If so, the class sets the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGE_ARCH'><filename>PACKAGE_ARCH</filename></ulink>
+ value based on the <filename>MACHINE_SUBARCH</filename>
+ value.
+ If the package does not provide or depend on one of the
+ sub-architecture values but it matches a value in the
+ machine-specific filter, it sets
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE_ARCH'><filename>MACHINE_ARCH</filename></ulink>.

+ Situations can exist where you need to install and use

+ To accommodate these situations, you can install multiple

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The process is straightforward as long as the libraries use

+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></ulink> part of the
+ name includes a portion that differentiates each library version
+ (e.g.the major part of the version number).
+ Thus, instead of having a single recipe that loads one version
+ of a library (e.g. <filename>clutter</filename>), you provide
+ multiple recipes that result in different versions
+ of the libraries you want.
+ As an example, the following two recipes would allow the

+ GObject Introspection Repository (GIR) files go to

+ You can use source plugins to map values that you specify
+ using <filename>--source</filename> commands in kickstart
+ files (i.e. <filename>*.wks</filename>) to a plugin
+ implementation used to populate a given partition.
+ <note>
+ If you use plugins that have build-time dependencies

+ Yocto Project
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/scripts/lib/wic/plugins/source'>here</ulink>.
+ Each of these plugin files contains source plugins that

+ <filename>poky/scripts/lib/wic/pluginbase.py</filename>
+ file.
+ For example, the <filename>BootimgEFIPlugin</filename>

+ the <filename>SourcePlugin</filename> class, which is found
+ in the <filename>pluginbase.py</filename> file.

+ <para>
+ You can also implement source plugins in a layer outside

+ To do so, be sure that your plugin files are located in

+ <filename>scripts/lib/wic/plugins/source/</filename>
+ within your external layer.
+ When the plugin files are located there, the source

+ When the Wic implementation needs to invoke a

+ To be more concrete, here is the corresponding plugin
+ definition from the <filename>bootimg-pcbios.py</filename>

+ <title>Using a Modified Kickstart File</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Because partitioned image creation is driven by the
+ kickstart file, it is easy to affect image creation by
+ changing the parameters in the file.
+ This next example demonstrates that through modification
+ of the <filename>directdisk-gpt</filename> kickstart
+ file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As mentioned earlier, you can use the command
+ <filename>wic list images</filename> to show the list
+ of existing kickstart files.
+ The directory in which the
+ <filename>directdisk-gpt.wks</filename> file resides is
+ <filename>scripts/lib/image/canned-wks/</filename>,
+ which is located in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+ (e.g. <filename>poky</filename>).
+ Because available files reside in this directory,
+ you can create and add your own custom files to the
+ directory.
+ Subsequent use of the
+ <filename>wic list images</filename> command would then
+ include your kickstart files.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In this example, the existing
+ <filename>directdisk-gpt</filename> file already does
+ most of what is needed.
+ However, for the hardware in this example, the image

+ of <filename>sda</filename>, which is what the
+ <filename>directdisk-gpt</filename> kickstart file
+ uses.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The example begins by making a copy of the
+ <filename>directdisk-gpt.wks</filename> file in the
+ <filename>scripts/lib/image/canned-wks</filename>
+ directory and then by changing the lines that specify
+ the target disk from which to boot.

+ </literallayout>
+ Next, the example modifies the
+ <filename>directdisksdb-gpt.wks</filename> file and
+ changes all instances of
+ "<filename>--ondisk sda</filename>" to
+ "<filename>--ondisk sdb</filename>".
+ The example changes the following two lines and leaves

+ If you are producing your own customized version

+ <filename>local.conf</filename> and
+ <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>) that are created in

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The OpenEmbedded build system uses the environment variable
+ <filename>TEMPLATECONF</filename> to locate the directory
+ from which it gathers configuration information that ultimately
+ ends up in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>
+ <filename>conf</filename> directory.
+ By default, <filename>TEMPLATECONF</filename> is set as
+ follows in the <filename>poky</filename> repository:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ TEMPLATECONF=${TEMPLATECONF:-meta-poky/conf}
+ </literallayout>
+ This is the directory used by the build system to find templates
+ from which to build some key configuration files.
+ If you look at this directory, you will see the
+ <filename>bblayers.conf.sample</filename>,
+ <filename>local.conf.sample</filename>, and
+ <filename>conf-notes.txt</filename> files.
+ The build system uses these files to form the respective
+ <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file,
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> file, and display the list of
+ BitBake targets when running the setup script.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To override these default configuration files with
+ configurations you want used within every new
+ Build Directory, simply set the
+ <filename>TEMPLATECONF</filename> variable to your directory.
+ The <filename>TEMPLATECONF</filename> variable is set in the
+ <filename>.templateconf</filename> file, which is in the
+ top-level
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+ folder (e.g. <filename>poky</filename>).
+ Edit the <filename>.templateconf</filename> so that it can locate

+ Best practices dictate that you should keep your

+ and you want your template configuration directory named

+ Changing the <filename>.templateconf</filename> as follows
+ causes the OpenEmbedded build system to look in your directory
+ and base its configuration files on the

+ The final configuration files (i.e.
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> and
+ <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> ultimately still end up in

+ <para>
+ Because the OpenEmbedded build system uses
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#overview-checksums'>signatures</ulink>",
+ which are unique to a given build, the build system
+ knows when to rebuild packages.
+ All the inputs into a given task are represented by a
+ signature, which can trigger a rebuild when different.
+ Thus, the build system itself does not rely on the
+ <filename>PR</filename>, <filename>PV</filename>, and
+ <filename>PE</filename> numbers to trigger a rebuild.
+ The signatures, however, can be used to generate
+ these values.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The PR Service works with both
+ <filename>OEBasic</filename> and

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As implemented, the build system includes values from

+ an addition using the form "<filename>.x</filename>" so
+ <filename>r0</filename> becomes <filename>r0.1</filename>,
+ <filename>r0.2</filename> and so forth.

+ to be used for whatever reasons, which include manual

+ <para>
+ By default, the PR Service is not enabled or running.

+ The build system adds and removes packages and

+ will be consistent and correct with the latest changes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The simplest form for a PR Service is for it to exist
+ for a single host development system that builds the
+ package feed (building system).
+ For this scenario, you can enable a local PR Service by
+ setting
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PRSERV_HOST'><filename>PRSERV_HOST</filename></ulink>

+ Once the service is started, packages will automatically
+ get increasing <filename>PR</filename> values and
+ BitBake takes care of starting and stopping the server.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you have a more complex setup where multiple host
+ development systems work against a common, shared package
+ feed, you have a single PR Service running and it is
+ connected to each building system.
+ For this scenario, you need to start the PR Service using
+ the <filename>bitbake-prserv</filename> command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ bitbake-prserv --host <replaceable>ip</replaceable> --port <replaceable>port</replaceable> --start
+ </literallayout>
+ In addition to hand-starting the service, you need to
+ update the <filename>local.conf</filename> file of each
+ building system as described earlier so each system
+ points to the server and port.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is also recommended you use build history, which adds
+ some sanity checks to binary package versions, in
+ conjunction with the server that is running the PR Service.
+ To enable build history, add the following to each building
+ system's <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ <note>
+ <para>

+ If you maintain an sstate feed, its expected that either

+ During a build, BitBake always transforms a recipe into one or

+ For example, BitBake takes the <filename>bash</filename> recipe

+
+ <para>
+ In several situations, you might need to update, add, remove,

+ (i.e. without having to generate a new image).
+ Examples of such situations include:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ You want to provide in-the-field updates to deployed

+ Being able to install these packages on a running,

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In order to use runtime package management, you
+ need a host or server machine that serves up the pre-compiled
+ packages plus the required metadata.
+ You also need package manipulation tools on the target.
+ The build machine is a likely candidate to act as the server.
+ However, that machine does not necessarily have to be the
+ package server.
+ The build machine could push its artifacts to another machine
+ that acts as the server (e.g. Internet-facing).
+ In fact, doing so is advantageous for a production
+ environment as getting the packages away from the
+ development system's build directory prevents accidental
+ overwrites.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A simple build that targets just one device produces
+ more than one package database.
+ In other words, the packages produced by a build are separated
+ out into a couple of different package groupings based on
+ criteria such as the target's CPU architecture, the target
+ board, or the C library used on the target.
+ For example, a build targeting the <filename>qemux86</filename>
+ device produces the following three package databases:
+ <filename>noarch</filename>, <filename>i586</filename>, and
+ <filename>qemux86</filename>.
+ If you wanted your <filename>qemux86</filename> device to be
+ aware of all the packages that were available to it,
+ you would need to point it to each of these databases
+ individually.
+ In a similar way, a traditional Linux distribution usually is
+ configured to be aware of a number of software repositories
+ from which it retrieves packages.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Using runtime package management is completely optional and
+ not required for a successful build or deployment in any
+ way.
+ But if you want to make use of runtime package management,
+ you need to do a couple things above and beyond the basics.

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When BitBake generates packages, it needs to know
+ what format or formats to use.
+ In your configuration, you use the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGE_CLASSES'><filename>PACKAGE_CLASSES</filename></ulink>
+ variable to specify the format:
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Open the <filename>local.conf</filename> file

+ </literallayout>

+ <note>
+ Because the Yocto Project supports four
+ different package formats, you can set the

+ However, the OpenEmbedded build system only
+ uses the first argument when creating an image
+ or Software Development Kit (SDK).
+ </note>
+ </para></listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you would like your image to start off with a basic
+ package database containing the packages in your current
+ build as well as to have the relevant tools available on the
+ target for runtime package management, you can include
+ "package-management" in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_FEATURES'><filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename></ulink>
+ variable.
+ Including "package-management" in this configuration
+ variable ensures that when the image is assembled for your
+ target, the image includes the currently-known package
+ databases as well as the target-specific tools required
+ for runtime package management to be performed on the
+ target.
+ However, this is not strictly necessary.
+ You could start your image off without any databases
+ but only include the required on-target package
+ tool(s).
+ As an example, you could include "opkg" in your
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'><filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename></ulink>
+ variable if you are using the IPK package format.
+ You can then initialize your target's package database(s)
+ later once your image is up and running.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Whenever you perform any sort of build step that can
+ potentially generate a package or modify existing
+ package, it is always a good idea to re-generate the
+ package index after the build by using the following
+ command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake package-index
+ </literallayout>
+ It might be tempting to build the package and the
+ package index at the same time with a command such as
+ the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake <replaceable>some-package</replaceable> package-index
+ </literallayout>
+ Do not do this as BitBake does not schedule the package
+ index for after the completion of the package you are
+ building.
+ Consequently, you cannot be sure of the package index
+ including information for the package you just built.
+ Thus, be sure to run the package update step separately
+ after building any packages.

+ <title>Selecting an Initialization Manager</title>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, the Yocto Project uses SysVinit as the initialization
+ manager.
+ However, support also exists for systemd,
+ which is a full replacement for init with
+ parallel starting of services, reduced shell overhead and other
+ features that are used by many distributions.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Within the system, SysVinit treats system components as services.
+ These services are maintained as shell scripts stored in the
+ <filename>/etc/init.d/</filename> directory.
+ Services organize into different run levels.
+ This organization is maintained by putting links to the services
+ in the <filename>/etc/rcN.d/</filename> directories, where
+ <replaceable>N/</replaceable> is one of the following options:
+ "S", "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", or "6".
+ <note>
+ Each runlevel has a dependency on the previous runlevel.
+ This dependency allows the services to work properly.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In comparison, systemd treats components as units.
+ Using units is a broader concept as compared to using a service.
+ A unit includes several different types of entities.
+ Service is one of the types of entities.
+ The runlevel concept in SysVinit corresponds to the concept of a
+ target in systemd, where target is also a type of supported unit.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In a SysVinit-based system, services load sequentially (i.e. one

+ performance.

+ The exact method for debugging build failures depends on the nature

+ originates.
+ Standard debugging practices such as comparison against the last
+ known working version with examination of the changes and the
+ re-application of steps to identify the one causing the problem are

+ Even though it is impossible to detail every possible potential

+ <note><title>Tip</title>
+ A useful feature for debugging is the error reporting tool.
+ Configuring the Yocto Project to use this tool causes the
+ OpenEmbedded build system to produce error reporting commands as
+ part of the console output.
+ You can enter the commands after the build completes to log
+ error information into a common database, that can help you
+ figure out what might be going wrong.

+ Each recipe has its own private set of variables

+ cache to avoid unnecessarily rebuilding tasks.
+ Collectively, this scheme is known as "shared state code."
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As with all schemes, this one has some drawbacks.
+ It is possible that you could make implicit changes to your
+ code that the checksum calculations do not take into
+ account.
+ These implicit changes affect a task's output but do not
+ trigger the shared state code into rebuilding a recipe.
+ Consider an example during which a tool changes its output.
+ Assume that the output of <filename>rpmdeps</filename>
+ changes.
+ The result of the change should be that all the
+ <filename>package</filename> and
+ <filename>package_write_rpm</filename> shared state cache
+ items become invalid.
+ However, because the change to the output is
+ external to the code and therefore implicit,
+ the associated shared state cache items do not become
+ invalidated.
+ In this case, the build process uses the cached items
+ rather than running the task again.
+ Obviously, these types of implicit changes can cause
+ problems.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To avoid these problems during the build, you need to
+ understand the effects of any changes you make.
+ Realize that changes you make directly to a function
+ are automatically factored into the checksum calculation.
+ Thus, these explicit changes invalidate the associated
+ area of shared state cache.
+ However, you need to be aware of any implicit changes that
+ are not obvious changes to the code and could affect
+ the output of a given task.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you identify an implicit change, you can easily
+ take steps to invalidate the cache and force the tasks
+ to run.
+ The steps you can take are as simple as changing a
+ function's comments in the source code.
+ For example, to invalidate package shared state files,
+ change the comment statements of
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-package'><filename>do_package</filename></ulink>
+ or the comments of one of the functions it calls.
+ Even though the change is purely cosmetic, it causes the
+ checksum to be recalculated and forces the build system to
+ run the task again.
+ <note>
+ For an example of a commit that makes a cosmetic
+ change to invalidate shared state, see this

+
+ <section id='dev-debugging-taskrunning'>
+ <title>Running Specific Tasks</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Any given recipe consists of a set of tasks.
+ The standard BitBake behavior in most cases is:
+ <filename>do_fetch</filename>,
+ <filename>do_unpack</filename>,
+ <filename>do_patch</filename>,
+ <filename>do_configure</filename>,
+ <filename>do_compile</filename>,
+ <filename>do_install</filename>,
+ <filename>do_package</filename>,
+ <filename>do_package_write_*</filename>, and
+ <filename>do_build</filename>.
+ The default task is <filename>do_build</filename> and any tasks
+ on which it depends build first.
+ Some tasks, such as <filename>do_devshell</filename>, are not
+ part of the default build chain.
+ If you wish to run a task that is not part of the default build
+ chain, you can use the <filename>-c</filename> option in
+ BitBake.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c devshell
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>-c</filename> option respects task dependencies,
+ which means that all other tasks (including tasks from other
+ recipes) that the specified task depends on will be run before
+ the task.
+ Even when you manually specify a task to run with
+ <filename>-c</filename>, BitBake will only run the task if it
+ considers it "out of date".
+ See the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#stamp-files-and-the-rerunning-of-tasks'>Stamp Files and the Rerunning of Tasks</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual for
+ how BitBake determines whether a task is "out of date".
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you want to force an up-to-date task to be rerun (e.g.
+ because you made manual modifications to the recipe's
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></ulink>
+ that you want to try out), then you can use the
+ <filename>-f</filename> option.
+ <note>
+ The reason <filename>-f</filename> is never required when
+ running the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-devshell'><filename>do_devshell</filename></ulink>
+ task is because the
+ <filename>[</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#variable-flags'><filename>nostamp</filename></ulink><filename>]</filename>
+ variable flag is already set for the task.
+ </note>
+ The following example shows one way you can use the
+ <filename>-f</filename> option:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
+ .
+ .
+ make some changes to the source code in the work directory
+ .
+ .
+ $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c compile -f
+ $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This sequence first builds and then recompiles
+ <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename>.
+ The last command reruns all tasks (basically the packaging
+ tasks) after the compile.
+ BitBake recognizes that the <filename>do_compile</filename>
+ task was rerun and therefore understands that the other tasks
+ also need to be run again.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another, shorter way to rerun a task and all
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#normal-recipe-build-tasks'>normal recipe build tasks</ulink>
+ that depend on it is to use the <filename>-C</filename>
+ option.
+ <note>
+ This option is upper-cased and is separate from the
+ <filename>-c</filename> option, which is lower-cased.
+ </note>

+ The purpose of the warning is to let you know that the work
+ directory and build output might not be in the clean state
+ they would be in for a "normal" build, depending on what
+ actions you took.
+ To get rid of such warnings, you can remove the work

+ GDB is available as a package within the Yocto Project and is

+ See the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-images'>Images</ulink>"
+ chapter in the Yocto Project Reference Manual for a description of

+ You can find information on GDB at
+ <ulink url="http://sourceware.org/gdb/"/>.
+ <note><title>Tip</title>
+ For best results, install debug (<filename>-dbg</filename>)
+ packages for the applications you are going to debug.
+ Doing so makes extra debug symbols available that give you
+ more meaningful output.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Sometimes, due to memory or disk space constraints, it is not
+ possible to use GDB directly on the remote target to debug
+ applications.
+ These constraints arise because GDB needs to load the debugging
+ information and the binaries of the process being debugged.
+ Additionally, GDB needs to perform many computations to locate
+ information such as function names, variable names and values,
+ stack traces and so forth - even before starting the debugging
+ process.
+ These extra computations place more load on the target system
+ and can alter the characteristics of the program being debugged.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To help get past the previously mentioned constraints, you can
+ use gdbserver, which runs on the remote target and does not
+ load any debugging information from the debugged process.
+ Instead, a GDB instance processes the debugging information that
+ is run on a remote computer - the host GDB.
+ The host GDB then sends control commands to gdbserver to make
+ it stop or start the debugged program, as well as read or write
+ memory regions of that debugged program.
+ All the debugging information loaded and processed as well
+ as all the heavy debugging is done by the host GDB.
+ Offloading these processes gives the gdbserver running on the
+ target a chance to remain small and fast.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Because the host GDB is responsible for loading the debugging
+ information and for doing the necessary processing to make
+ actual debugging happen, you have to make sure the host can
+ access the unstripped binaries complete with their debugging
+ information and also be sure the target is compiled with no
+ optimizations.
+ The host GDB must also have local access to all the libraries
+ used by the debugged program.
+ Because gdbserver does not need any local debugging information,
+ the binaries on the remote target can remain stripped.
+ However, the binaries must also be compiled without optimization
+ so they match the host's binaries.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To remain consistent with GDB documentation and terminology,
+ the binary being debugged on the remote target machine is
+ referred to as the "inferior" binary.
+ For documentation on GDB see the

+ To support this kind of debugging, you need do the following:

+ To improve the debug information accuracy, you can reduce

+ If you want to remove the <filename>psplash</filename>

+ add <filename>psplash=false</filename> to the kernel

+ Doing so prevents <filename>psplash</filename> from
+ loading and thus allows you to see the console.
+ It is also possible to switch out of the splashscreen by
+ switching the virtual console (e.g. Fn+Left or Fn+Right
+ on a Zaurus).

+ <listitem><para>
+ Removing
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TMPDIR'><filename>TMPDIR</filename></ulink>
+ (usually <filename>tmp/</filename>, within the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>)
+ can often fix temporary build issues.
+ Removing <filename>TMPDIR</filename> is usually a

+ (usually <filename>sstate-cache/</filename>, which is

+ <listitem><para>
+ Understanding how a feature is used in practice within
+ existing recipes can be very helpful.
+ It is recommended that you configure some method that
+ allows you to quickly search through files.</para>
+
+ <para>Using GNU Grep, you can use the following shell
+ function to recursively search through common
+ recipe-related files, skipping binary files,
+ <filename>.git</filename> directories, and the
+ Build Directory (assuming its name starts with
+ "build"):
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ g() {

+ Following are some usage examples:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ g FOO # Search recursively for "FOO"
+ $ g -i foo # Search recursively for "foo", ignoring case
+ $ g -w FOO # Search recursively for "FOO" as a word, ignoring e.g. "FOOBAR"
+ </literallayout>
+ If figuring out how some feature works requires a lot of
+ searching, it might indicate that the documentation
+ should be extended or improved.

+ <para>
+ As mentioned in the previous section, the
+ <filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename> variable lists all
+ the important files that contain the license text for the
+ source code.
+ It is possible to specify a checksum for an entire file,
+ or a specific section of a file (specified by beginning and
+ ending line numbers with the "beginline" and "endline"
+ parameters, respectively).
+ The latter is useful for source files with a license
+ notice header, README documents, and so forth.
+ If you do not use the "beginline" parameter, then it is
+ assumed that the text begins on the first line of the file.
+ Similarly, if you do not use the "endline" parameter,
+ it is assumed that the license text ends with the last
+ line of the file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The "md5" parameter stores the md5 checksum of the license
+ text.
+ If the license text changes in any way as compared to
+ this parameter then a mismatch occurs.
+ This mismatch triggers a build failure and notifies
+ the developer.
+ Notification allows the developer to review and address
+ the license text changes.
+ Also note that if a mismatch occurs during the build,

+ There is no limit to how many files you can specify using

+ <title>Enabling Commercially Licensed Recipes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, the OpenEmbedded build system disables
+ components that have commercial or other special licensing
+ requirements.
+ Such requirements are defined on a
+ recipe-by-recipe basis through the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LICENSE_FLAGS'><filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename></ulink>
+ variable definition in the affected recipe.
+ For instance, the
+ <filename>poky/meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly</filename>
+ recipe contains the following statement:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial"
+ </literallayout>
+ Here is a slightly more complicated example that contains both
+ an explicit recipe name and version (after variable expansion):
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ LICENSE_FLAGS = "license_${PN}_${PV}"
+ </literallayout>
+ In order for a component restricted by a
+ <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> definition to be enabled and
+ included in an image, it needs to have a matching entry in the
+ global
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST'><filename>LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST</filename></ulink>
+ variable, which is a variable typically defined in your
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> file.
+ For example, to enable the
+ <filename>poky/meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly</filename>
+ package, you could add either the string
+ "commercial_gst-plugins-ugly" or the more general string
+ "commercial" to <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST</filename>.
+ See the
+ "<link linkend='license-flag-matching'>License Flag Matching</link>"
+ section for a full
+ explanation of how <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> matching
+ works.
+ Here is the example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial_gst-plugins-ugly"
+ </literallayout>
+ Likewise, to additionally enable the package built from the
+ recipe containing
+ <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS = "license_${PN}_${PV}"</filename>,
+ and assuming that the actual recipe name was
+ <filename>emgd_1.10.bb</filename>, the following string would
+ enable that package as well as the original
+ <filename>gst-plugins-ugly</filename> package:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial_gst-plugins-ugly license_emgd_1.10"
+ </literallayout>
+ As a convenience, you do not need to specify the complete
+ license string in the whitelist for every package.
+ You can use an abbreviated form, which consists
+ of just the first portion or portions of the license
+ string before the initial underscore character or characters.
+ A partial string will match any license that contains the
+ given string as the first portion of its license.
+ For example, the following whitelist string will also match
+ both of the packages previously mentioned as well as any other
+ packages that have licenses starting with "commercial" or
+ "license".
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial license"

+
+ <section id="license-flag-matching">
+ <title>License Flag Matching</title>
+
+ <para>
+ License flag matching allows you to control what recipes
+ the OpenEmbedded build system includes in the build.
+ Fundamentally, the build system attempts to match
+ <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> strings found in recipes
+ against <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST</filename>
+ strings found in the whitelist.
+ A match causes the build system to include a recipe in the
+ build, while failure to find a match causes the build
+ system to exclude a recipe.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In general, license flag matching is simple.
+ However, understanding some concepts will help you
+ correctly and effectively use matching.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Before a flag
+ defined by a particular recipe is tested against the
+ contents of the whitelist, the expanded string
+ <filename>_${PN}</filename> is appended to the flag.
+ This expansion makes each
+ <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> value recipe-specific.
+ After expansion, the string is then matched against the
+ whitelist.
+ Thus, specifying
+ <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial"</filename>
+ in recipe "foo", for example, results in the string
+ <filename>"commercial_foo"</filename>.
+ And, to create a match, that string must appear in the
+ whitelist.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Judicious use of the <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename>
+ strings and the contents of the
+ <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST</filename> variable
+ allows you a lot of flexibility for including or excluding
+ recipes based on licensing.
+ For example, you can broaden the matching capabilities by
+ using license flags string subsets in the whitelist.
+ <note>
+ When using a string subset, be sure to use the part of
+ the expanded string that precedes the appended
+ underscore character (e.g.
+ <filename>usethispart_1.3</filename>,
+ <filename>usethispart_1.4</filename>, and so forth).
+ </note>
+ For example, simply specifying the string "commercial" in
+ the whitelist matches any expanded
+ <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> definition that starts
+ with the string "commercial" such as "commercial_foo" and
+ "commercial_bar", which are the strings the build system
+ automatically generates for hypothetical recipes named
+ "foo" and "bar" assuming those recipes simply specify the
+ following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial"
+ </literallayout>
+ Thus, you can choose to exhaustively
+ enumerate each license flag in the whitelist and
+ allow only specific recipes into the image, or
+ you can use a string subset that causes a broader range of
+ matches to allow a range of recipes into the image.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This scheme works even if the
+ <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> string already
+ has <filename>_${PN}</filename> appended.
+ For example, the build system turns the license flag
+ "commercial_1.2_foo" into "commercial_1.2_foo_foo" and
+ would match both the general "commercial" and the specific
+ "commercial_1.2_foo" strings found in the whitelist, as
+ expected.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Here are some other scenarios:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ You can specify a versioned string in the recipe
+ such as "commercial_foo_1.2" in a "foo" recipe.
+ The build system expands this string to
+ "commercial_foo_1.2_foo".
+ Combine this license flag with a whitelist that has
+ the string "commercial" and you match the flag
+ along with any other flag that starts with the
+ string "commercial".
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Under the same circumstances, you can use
+ "commercial_foo" in the whitelist and the build
+ system not only matches "commercial_foo_1.2" but
+ also matches any license flag with the string
+ "commercial_foo", regardless of the version.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>

+ Once you take steps to meet these requirements,
+ and prior to releasing images, sources, and the build system,
+ you should audit all artifacts to ensure completeness.
+ <note>
+ The Yocto Project generates a license manifest during
+ image creation that is located
+ in <filename>${DEPLOY_DIR}/licenses/<replaceable>image_name-datestamp</replaceable></filename>
+ to assist with any audits.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='providing-the-source-code'>
+ <title>Providing the Source Code</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Compliance activities should begin before you generate the
+ final image.
+ The first thing you should look at is the requirement that
+ tops the list for most compliance groups - providing
+ the source.
+ The Yocto Project has a few ways of meeting this
+ requirement.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ One of the easiest ways to meet this requirement is
+ to provide the entire
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DL_DIR'><filename>DL_DIR</filename></ulink>
+ used by the build.
+ This method, however, has a few issues.
+ The most obvious is the size of the directory since it includes
+ all sources used in the build and not just the source used in
+ the released image.
+ It will include toolchain source, and other artifacts, which
+ you would not generally release.
+ However, the more serious issue for most companies is accidental
+ release of proprietary software.
+ The Yocto Project provides an
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-archiver'><filename>archiver</filename></ulink>
+ class to help avoid some of these concerns.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Before you employ <filename>DL_DIR</filename> or the
+ <filename>archiver</filename> class, you need to decide how
+ you choose to provide source.
+ The source <filename>archiver</filename> class can generate
+ tarballs and SRPMs and can create them with various levels of
+ compliance in mind.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ One way of doing this (but certainly not the only way) is to
+ release just the source as a tarball.
+ You can do this by adding the following to the
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> file found in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ INHERIT += "archiver"
+ ARCHIVER_MODE[src] = "original"
+ </literallayout>
+ During the creation of your image, the source from all
+ recipes that deploy packages to the image is placed within
+ subdirectories of
+ <filename>DEPLOY_DIR/sources</filename> based on the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LICENSE'><filename>LICENSE</filename></ulink>
+ for each recipe.
+ Releasing the entire directory enables you to comply with
+ requirements concerning providing the unmodified source.
+ It is important to note that the size of the directory can
+ get large.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A way to help mitigate the size issue is to only release
+ tarballs for licenses that require the release of
+ source.
+ Let us assume you are only concerned with GPL code as
+ identified by running the following script:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ # Script to archive a subset of packages matching specific license(s)
+ # Source and license files are copied into sub folders of package folder
+ # Must be run from build folder
+ #!/bin/bash
+ src_release_dir="source-release"
+ mkdir -p $src_release_dir
+ for a in tmp/deploy/sources/*; do
+ for d in $a/*; do
+ # Get package name from path
+ p=`basename $d`
+ p=${p%-*}
+ p=${p%-*}
+ # Only archive GPL packages (update *GPL* regex for your license check)
+ numfiles=`ls tmp/deploy/licenses/$p/*GPL* 2> /dev/null | wc -l`
+ if [ $numfiles -gt 1 ]; then
+ echo Archiving $p
+ mkdir -p $src_release_dir/$p/source
+ cp $d/* $src_release_dir/$p/source 2> /dev/null
+ mkdir -p $src_release_dir/$p/license
+ cp tmp/deploy/licenses/$p/* $src_release_dir/$p/license 2> /dev/null
+ fi
+ done
+ done
+ </literallayout>
+ At this point, you could create a tarball from the
+ <filename>gpl_source_release</filename> directory and
+ provide that to the end user.
+ This method would be a step toward achieving compliance
+ with section 3a of GPLv2 and with section 6 of GPLv3.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='providing-license-text'>
+ <title>Providing License Text</title>
+
+ <para>
+ One requirement that is often overlooked is inclusion
+ of license text.
+ This requirement also needs to be dealt with prior to
+ generating the final image.
+ Some licenses require the license text to accompany
+ the binary.
+ You can achieve this by adding the following to your
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1"
+ COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1"
+ LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE = "1"
+ </literallayout>
+ Adding these statements to the configuration file ensures
+ that the licenses collected during package generation
+ are included on your image.
+ <note>
+ <para>Setting all three variables to "1" results in the
+ image having two copies of the same license file.
+ One copy resides in
+ <filename>/usr/share/common-licenses</filename> and
+ the other resides in
+ <filename>/usr/share/license</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>The reason for this behavior is because
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-COPY_LIC_DIRS'><filename>COPY_LIC_DIRS</filename></ulink>
+ and
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-COPY_LIC_MANIFEST'><filename>COPY_LIC_MANIFEST</filename></ulink>
+ add a copy of the license when the image is built but do
+ not offer a path for adding licenses for newly installed
+ packages to an image.
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE'><filename>LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE</filename></ulink>
+ adds a separate package and an upgrade path for adding
+ licenses to an image.</para>
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As the source <filename>archiver</filename> class has already
+ archived the original
+ unmodified source that contains the license files,
+ you would have already met the requirements for inclusion
+ of the license information with source as defined by the GPL
+ and other open source licenses.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='providing-compilation-scripts-and-source-code-modifications'>
+ <title>Providing Compilation Scripts and Source Code Modifications</title>
+
+ <para>
+ At this point, we have addressed all we need to
+ prior to generating the image.
+ The next two requirements are addressed during the final
+ packaging of the release.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By releasing the version of the OpenEmbedded build system
+ and the layers used during the build, you will be providing both
+ compilation scripts and the source code modifications in one
+ step.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If the deployment team has a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;#bsp-layers'>BSP layer</ulink>
+ and a distro layer, and those those layers are used to patch,
+ compile, package, or modify (in any way) any open source
+ software included in your released images, you
+ might be required to release those layers under section 3 of
+ GPLv2 or section 1 of GPLv3.
+ One way of doing that is with a clean
+ checkout of the version of the Yocto Project and layers used
+ during your build.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ # We built using the &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP; branch of the poky repo
+ $ git clone -b &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP; git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
+ $ cd poky
+ # We built using the release_branch for our layers
+ $ git clone -b release_branch git://git.mycompany.com/meta-my-bsp-layer
+ $ git clone -b release_branch git://git.mycompany.com/meta-my-software-layer
+ # clean up the .git repos
+ $ find . -name ".git" -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;
+ </literallayout>
+ One thing a development organization might want to consider
+ for end-user convenience is to modify
+ <filename>meta-poky/conf/bblayers.conf.sample</filename> to
+ ensure that when the end user utilizes the released build
+ system to build an image, the development organization's
+ layers are included in the <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>
+ file automatically:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ # POKY_BBLAYERS_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
+ # changes incompatibly
+ POKY_BBLAYERS_CONF_VERSION = "2"
+
+ BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
+ BBFILES ?= ""
+
+ BBLAYERS ?= " \
+ ##OEROOT##/meta \
+ ##OEROOT##/meta-poky \
+ ##OEROOT##/meta-yocto-bsp \
+ ##OEROOT##/meta-mylayer \
+ "
+ </literallayout>
+ Creating and providing an archive of the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>
+ layers (recipes, configuration files, and so forth)
+ enables you to meet your
+ requirements to include the scripts to control compilation
+ as well as any modifications to the original source.

+ <section id='copying-licenses-that-do-not-exist'>
+ <title>Copying Licenses that Do Not Exist</title>

+ <para>
+ Some packages, such as the linux-firmware package, have many

+ You can avoid adding a lot of these types of common license
+ files, which are only applicable to a specific package, by using
+ the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-NO_GENERIC_LICENSE'><filename>NO_GENERIC_LICENSE</filename></ulink>

+ Using this variable also avoids QA errors when you use a

+ <title>Using the Error Reporting Tool</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The error reporting tool allows you to
+ submit errors encountered during builds to a central database.
+ Outside of the build environment, you can use a web interface to
+ browse errors, view statistics, and query for errors.
+ The tool works using a client-server system where the client
+ portion is integrated with the installed Yocto Project
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+ (e.g. <filename>poky</filename>).
+ The server receives the information collected and saves it in a
+ database.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A live instance of the error reporting server exists at
+ <ulink url='http://errors.yoctoproject.org'></ulink>.
+ This server exists so that when you want to get help with
+ build failures, you can submit all of the information on the
+ failure easily and then point to the URL in your bug report
+ or send an email to the mailing list.
+ <note>
+ If you send error reports to this server, the reports become

+ <section id='enabling-and-using-the-tool'>
+ <title>Enabling and Using the Tool</title>

+ By default, the error reporting tool is disabled.
+ You can enable it by inheriting the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-report-error'><filename>report-error</filename></ulink>
+ class by adding the following statement to the end of
+ your <filename>local.conf</filename> file in your

+ By default, the error reporting feature stores information in
+ <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LOG_DIR'><filename>LOG_DIR</filename></ulink><filename>}/error-report</filename>.
+ However, you can specify a directory to use by adding the following
+ to your <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ ERR_REPORT_DIR = "path"
+ </literallayout>
+ Enabling error reporting causes the build process to collect
+ the errors and store them in a file as previously described.
+ When the build system encounters an error, it includes a
+ command as part of the console output.
+ You can run the command to send the error file to the server.
+ For example, the following command sends the errors to an
+ upstream server:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ send-error-report /home/brandusa/project/poky/build/tmp/log/error-report/error_report_201403141617.txt
+ </literallayout>
+ In the previous example, the errors are sent to a public
+ database available at
+ <ulink url='http://errors.yoctoproject.org'></ulink>, which is
+ used by the entire community.
+ If you specify a particular server, you can send the errors
+ to a different database.
+ Use the following command for more information on available
+ options:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ send-error-report --help
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When sending the error file, you are prompted to review the
+ data being sent as well as to provide a name and optional
+ email address.
+ Once you satisfy these prompts, the command returns a link
+ from the server that corresponds to your entry in the database.
+ For example, here is a typical link:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ http://errors.yoctoproject.org/Errors/Details/9522/

+ <title>Overview</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Within the context of the Yocto Project, QEMU is an
+ emulator and virtualization machine that allows you to run a
+ complete image you have built using the Yocto Project as just
+ another task on your build system.
+ QEMU is useful for running and testing images and applications on
+ supported Yocto Project architectures without having actual
+ hardware.
+ Among other things, the Yocto Project uses QEMU to run automated
+ Quality Assurance (QA) tests on final images shipped with each
+ release.
+ <note>
+ This implementation is not the same as QEMU in general.
+ </note>
+ This section provides a brief reference for the Yocto Project
+ implementation of QEMU.

+ To use QEMU, you need to have QEMU installed and initialized as
+ well as have the proper artifacts (i.e. image files and root

+ <emphasis>Install QEMU:</emphasis>
+ QEMU is made available with the Yocto Project a number of

+ <emphasis>Run QEMU:</emphasis>
+ The basic <filename>runqemu</filename> command syntax is as

+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ runqemu [<replaceable>option</replaceable> ] [...]
+ </literallayout>
+ Based on what you provide on the command line,
+ <filename>runqemu</filename> does a good job of figuring
+ out what you are trying to do.
+ For example, by default, QEMU looks for the most recently
+ built image according to the timestamp when it needs to
+ look for an image.
+ Minimally, through the use of options, you must provide
+ either a machine name, a virtual machine image
+ (<filename>*wic.vmdk</filename>), or a kernel image
+ (<filename>*.bin</filename>).</para>
+
+ <para>Here are some additional examples to help illustrate
+ further QEMU:
+ <itemizedlist>

+ For example, Ctrl+Alt+3 switches you to the serial console
+ as long as that console is enabled.

+ The default QEMU integration captures the cursor within the

+ It does this since standard mouse devices only provide
+ relative input and not absolute coordinates.
+ You then have to break out of the grab using the "Ctrl+Alt"
+ key combination.
+ However, the Yocto Project's integration of QEMU enables
+ the wacom USB touch pad driver by default to allow input
+ of absolute coordinates.
+ This default means that the mouse can enter and leave the
+ main window without the grab taking effect leading to a

+ <trademark class='registered'>Intel</trademark> <trademark class='trademark'>Core</trademark>2
+ Duo processors and 32-bit x86
+ <trademark class='registered'>Intel</trademark> <trademark class='registered'>Pentium</trademark>
+ II processors.
+ QEMU builds for and targets these CPU types because they display
+ a broad range of CPU feature compatibility with many commonly
+ used CPUs.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Despite this broad range of compatibility, the CPUs could support
+ a feature that your host CPU does not support.
+ Although this situation is not a problem when QEMU uses software
+ emulation of the feature, it can be a problem when QEMU is
+ running with KVM enabled.
+ Specifically, software compiled with a certain CPU feature crashes
+ when run on a CPU under KVM that does not support that feature.
+ To work around this problem, you can override QEMU's runtime CPU
+ setting by changing the <filename>QB_CPU_KVM</filename>
+ variable in <filename>qemuboot.conf</filename> in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory's</ulink>
+ <filename>deploy/image</filename> directory.
+ This setting specifies a <filename>-cpu</filename> option
+ passed into QEMU in the <filename>runqemu</filename> script.

+ Using QEMU to emulate your hardware can result in speed issues
+ depending on the target and host architecture mix.
+ For example, using the <filename>qemux86</filename> image in the
+ emulator on an Intel-based 32-bit (x86) host machine is fast
+ because the target and host architectures match.
+ On the other hand, using the <filename>qemuarm</filename> image
+ on the same Intel-based host can be slower.
+ But, you still achieve faithful emulation of ARM-specific issues.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To speed things up, the QEMU images support using
+ <filename>distcc</filename> to call a cross-compiler outside the
+ emulated system.
+ If you used <filename>runqemu</filename> to start QEMU, and the
+ <filename>distccd</filename> application is present on the host
+ system, any BitBake cross-compiling toolchain available from the
+ build system is automatically used from within QEMU simply by
+ calling <filename>distcc</filename>.
+ You can accomplish this by defining the cross-compiler variable
+ (e.g. <filename>export CC="distcc"</filename>).
+ Alternatively, if you are using a suitable SDK image or the

+<title>Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project</title>
+
+<para>
+ This chapter provides guidance on how to prepare to use the
+ Yocto Project.
+ You can learn about creating a team environment that develops using the
+ Yocto Project, how to set up a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>build host</ulink>,
+ how to locate Yocto Project source repositories, and how to create local

+ <title>Creating a Team Development Environment</title>
+
+ <para>
+ It might not be immediately clear how you can use the Yocto
+ Project in a team development environment, or how to scale it for a
+ large team of developers.
+ You can adapt the Yocto Project to many different use cases and
+ scenarios;
+ however, this flexibility could cause difficulties if you are trying
+ to create a working setup that scales effectively.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To help you understand how to set up this type of environment,
+ this section presents a procedure that gives you information
+ that can help you get the results you want.
+ The procedure is high-level and presents some of the project's most
+ successful experiences, practices, solutions, and available
+ technologies that have proved to work well in the past;
+ however, keep in mind, the procedure here is simply a starting point.
+ You can build off these steps and customize the procedure to fit any
+ particular working environment and set of practices.
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Determine Who is Going to be Developing:</emphasis>
+ You first need to understand who is going to be doing anything
+ related to the Yocto Project and determine their roles.
+ Making this determination is essential to completing
+ subsequent steps, which are to get your equipment together
+ and set up your development environment's hardware topology.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The following roles exist:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Application Developer:</emphasis>
+ This type of developer does application level work
+ on top of an existing software stack.
+ </para></listitem>

+ This type of developer works on the contents of the
+ operating system image itself.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Build Engineer:</emphasis>
+ This type of developer manages Autobuilders and

+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Test Engineer:</emphasis>
+ This type of developer creates and manages automated

+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Gather the Hardware:</emphasis>
+ Based on the size and make-up of the team, get the hardware
+ together.
+ Ideally, any development, build, or test engineer uses
+ a system that runs a supported Linux distribution.
+ These systems, in general, should be high performance
+ (e.g. dual, six-core Xeons with 24 Gbytes of RAM and plenty
+ of disk space).
+ You can help ensure efficiency by having any machines used
+ for testing or that run Autobuilders be as high performance
+ as possible.
+ <note>
+ Given sufficient processing power, you might also consider
+ building Yocto Project development containers to be run
+ under Docker, which is described later.
+ </note>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Understand the Hardware Topology of the Environment:</emphasis>
+ Once you understand the hardware involved and the make-up
+ of the team, you can understand the hardware topology of the
+ development environment.
+ You can get a visual idea of the machines and their roles
+ across the development environment.

+ <emphasis>Use Git as Your Source Control Manager (SCM):</emphasis>
+ Keeping your
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>
+ (i.e. recipes, configuration files, classes, and so forth)
+ and any software you are developing under the control of an SCM
+ system that is compatible with the OpenEmbedded build system
+ is advisable.
+ Of all of the SCMs supported by BitBake, the Yocto Project team strongly
+ recommends using
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#git'>Git</ulink>.
+ Git is a distributed system that is easy to back up,
+ allows you to work remotely, and then connects back to the
+ infrastructure.
+ <note>
+ For information about BitBake, see the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;'>BitBake User Manual</ulink>.
+ </note></para>
+
+ <para>It is relatively easy to set up Git services and create
+ infrastructure like
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'>http://git.yoctoproject.org</ulink>,
+ which is based on server software called
+ <filename>gitolite</filename> with <filename>cgit</filename>
+ being used to generate the web interface that lets you view the
+ repositories.
+ The <filename>gitolite</filename> software identifies users
+ using SSH keys and allows branch-based access controls to
+ repositories that you can control as little or as much as

+ <emphasis>Set up the Application Development Machines:</emphasis>
+ As mentioned earlier, application developers are creating
+ applications on top of existing software stacks.
+ Following are some best practices for setting up machines

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Use a pre-built toolchain that contains the software

+ Then, develop the application code on top of the
+ stack.
+ This method works well for small numbers of relatively
+ isolated applications.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Keep your cross-development toolchains updated.
+ You can do this through provisioning either as new
+ toolchain downloads or as updates through a package
+ update mechanism using <filename>opkg</filename>
+ to provide updates to an existing toolchain.
+ The exact mechanics of how and when to do this depend
+ on local policy.

+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Set up the Core Development Machines:</emphasis>
+ As mentioned earlier, core developers work on the contents of
+ the operating system itself.
+ Following are some best practices for setting up machines
+ used for developing images:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Have the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>
+ available on the developer workstations so developers

+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Keep the core system unchanged as much as
+ possible and do your work in layers on top of the
+ core system.
+ Doing so gives you a greater level of portability when
+ upgrading to new versions of the core system or Board
+ Support Packages (BSPs).
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Share layers amongst the developers of a
+ particular project and contain the policy configuration
+ that defines the project.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Set up an Autobuilder:</emphasis>
+ Autobuilders are often the core of the development
+ environment.
+ It is here that changes from individual developers are brought
+ together and centrally tested.
+ Based on this automated build and test environment, subsequent
+ decisions about releases can be made.
+ Autobuilders also allow for "continuous integration" style
+ testing of software components and regression identification
+ and tracking.</para>
+
+ <para>See "<ulink url='http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org'>Yocto Project Autobuilder</ulink>"
+ for more information and links to buildbot.
+ The Yocto Project team has found this implementation
+ works well in this role.
+ A public example of this is the Yocto Project
+ Autobuilders, which the Yocto Project team uses to test the
+ overall health of the project.</para>

+ <emphasis>Set up Test Machines:</emphasis>
+ Use a small number of shared, high performance systems
+ for testing purposes.
+ Developers can use these systems for wider, more
+ extensive testing while they continue to develop
+ locally using their primary development system.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Document Policies and Change Flow:</emphasis>
+ The Yocto Project uses a hierarchical structure and a
+ pull model.
+ Scripts exist to create and send pull requests
+ (i.e. <filename>create-pull-request</filename> and
+ <filename>send-pull-request</filename>).
+ This model is in line with other open source projects where
+ maintainers are responsible for specific areas of the project
+ and a single maintainer handles the final "top-of-tree" merges.
+ <note>
+ You can also use a more collective push model.
+ The <filename>gitolite</filename> software supports both the
+ push and pull models quite easily.
+ </note></para>
+
+ <para>As with any development environment, it is important
+ to document the policy used as well as any main project
+ guidelines so they are understood by everyone.
+ It is also a good idea to have well-structured
+ commit messages, which are usually a part of a project's
+ guidelines.
+ Good commit messages are essential when looking back in time and
+ trying to understand why changes were made.</para>
+
+ <para>If you discover that changes are needed to the core
+ layer of the project, it is worth sharing those with the
+ community as soon as possible.
+ Chances are if you have discovered the need for changes,
+ someone else in the community needs them also.

+ <title>Using Kernel Metadata in a Recipe</title>
+
+ <para>
+ As mentioned in the introduction, the Yocto Project contains kernel
+ Metadata, which is located in the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> Git repository.
+ This Metadata defines Board Support Packages (BSPs) that
+ correspond to definitions in linux-yocto recipes for corresponding BSPs.
+ A BSP consists of an aggregation of kernel policy and enabled
+ hardware-specific features.
+ The BSP can be influenced from within the linux-yocto recipe.
+ <note>
+ A Linux kernel recipe that contains kernel Metadata (e.g.
+ inherits from the <filename>linux-yocto.inc</filename> file)
+ is said to be a "linux-yocto style" recipe.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Every linux-yocto style recipe must define the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KMACHINE'><filename>KMACHINE</filename></ulink>
+ variable.
+ This variable is typically set to the same value as the
+ <filename>MACHINE</filename> variable, which is used by
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#bitbake-term'>BitBake</ulink>.
+ However, in some cases, the variable might instead refer to the
+ underlying platform of the <filename>MACHINE</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Multiple BSPs can reuse the same <filename>KMACHINE</filename>
+ name if they are built using the same BSP description.
+ Multiple Corei7-based BSPs could share the same "intel-corei7-64"
+ value for <filename>KMACHINE</filename>.
+ It is important to realize that <filename>KMACHINE</filename> is
+ just for kernel mapping, while <filename>MACHINE</filename>
+ is the machine type within a BSP Layer.
+ Even with this distinction, however, these two variables can hold
+ the same value.
+ See the <link linkend='bsp-descriptions'>BSP Descriptions</link>
+ section for more information.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Every linux-yocto style recipe must also indicate the Linux kernel
+ source repository branch used to build the Linux kernel.
+ The <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KBRANCH'><filename>KBRANCH</filename></ulink>
+ variable must be set to indicate the branch.
+ <note>
+ You can use the <filename>KBRANCH</filename> value to define an
+ alternate branch typically with a machine override as shown here
+ from the <filename>meta-yocto-bsp</filename> layer:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ KBRANCH_edgerouter = "standard/edgerouter"
+ </literallayout>
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The linux-yocto style recipes can optionally define the following
+ variables:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ KERNEL_FEATURES
+ LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE'><filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename></ulink>
+ defines the kernel type to be
+ used in assembling the configuration.
+ If you do not specify a <filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename>,
+ it defaults to "standard".
+ Together with <filename>KMACHINE</filename>,
+ <filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename> defines the search
+ arguments used by the kernel tools to find the
+ appropriate description within the kernel Metadata with which to
+ build out the sources and configuration.
+ The linux-yocto recipes define "standard", "tiny", and "preempt-rt"
+ kernel types.
+ See the "<link linkend='kernel-types'>Kernel Types</link>" section
+ for more information on kernel types.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ During the build, the kern-tools search for the BSP description
+ file that most closely matches the <filename>KMACHINE</filename>
+ and <filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename> variables passed in from the
+ recipe.
+ The tools use the first BSP description it finds that match
+ both variables.
+ If the tools cannot find a match, they issue a warning.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The tools first search for the <filename>KMACHINE</filename> and
+ then for the <filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename>.
+ If the tools cannot find a partial match, they will use the
+ sources from the <filename>KBRANCH</filename> and any configuration
+ specified in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can use the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KERNEL_FEATURES'><filename>KERNEL_FEATURES</filename></ulink>
+ variable
+ to include features (configuration fragments, patches, or both) that
+ are not already included by the <filename>KMACHINE</filename> and
+ <filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename> variable combination.
+ For example, to include a feature specified as
+ "features/netfilter/netfilter.scc",
+ specify:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ KERNEL_FEATURES += "features/netfilter/netfilter.scc"
+ </literallayout>
+ To include a feature called "cfg/sound.scc" just for the
+ <filename>qemux86</filename> machine, specify:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ KERNEL_FEATURES_append_qemux86 = " cfg/sound.scc"
+ </literallayout>
+ The value of the entries in <filename>KERNEL_FEATURES</filename>
+ are dependent on their location within the kernel Metadata itself.
+ The examples here are taken from the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> repository.
+ Each branch of this repository contains "features" and "cfg"
+ subdirectories at the top-level.
+ For more information, see the
+ "<link linkend='kernel-metadata-syntax'>Kernel Metadata Syntax</link>"
+ section.
+ </para>
+</section>
+
+<section id='kernel-metadata-syntax'>
+ <title>Kernel Metadata Syntax</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The kernel Metadata consists of three primary types of files:
+ <filename>scc</filename>
+ <footnote>
+ <para>
+ <filename>scc</filename> stands for Series Configuration
+ Control, but the naming has less significance in the
+ current implementation of the tooling than it had in the
+ past.
+ Consider <filename>scc</filename> files to be description files.
+ </para>
+ </footnote>
+ description files, configuration fragments, and patches.
+ The <filename>scc</filename> files define variables and include or
+ otherwise reference any of the three file types.
+ The description files are used to aggregate all types of kernel
+ Metadata into
+ what ultimately describes the sources and the configuration required
+ to build a Linux kernel tailored to a specific machine.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>scc</filename> description files are used to define two
+ fundamental types of kernel Metadata:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Features</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Board Support Packages (BSPs)</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Features aggregate sources in the form of patches and configuration
+ fragments into a modular reusable unit.
+ You can use features to implement conceptually separate kernel
+ Metadata descriptions such as pure configuration fragments,
+ simple patches, complex features, and kernel types.
+ <link linkend='kernel-types'>Kernel types</link> define general
+ kernel features and policy to be reused in the BSPs.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BSPs define hardware-specific features and aggregate them with kernel
+ types to form the final description of what will be assembled and built.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ While the kernel Metadata syntax does not enforce any logical
+ separation of configuration fragments, patches, features or kernel
+ types, best practices dictate a logical separation of these types
+ of Metadata.
+ The following Metadata file hierarchy is recommended:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <replaceable>base</replaceable>/
+ bsp/
+ cfg/
+ features/
+ ktypes/
+ patches/
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>bsp</filename> directory contains the
+ <link linkend='bsp-descriptions'>BSP descriptions</link>.
+ The remaining directories all contain "features".
+ Separating <filename>bsp</filename> from the rest of the structure
+ aids conceptualizing intended usage.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Use these guidelines to help place your <filename>scc</filename>
+ description files within the structure:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>If your file contains
+ only configuration fragments, place the file in the
+ <filename>cfg</filename> directory.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>If your file contains
+ only source-code fixes, place the file in the
+ <filename>patches</filename> directory.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>If your file encapsulates
+ a major feature, often combining sources and configurations,
+ place the file in <filename>features</filename> directory.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>If your file aggregates
+ non-hardware configuration and patches in order to define a
+ base kernel policy or major kernel type to be reused across
+ multiple BSPs, place the file in <filename>ktypes</filename>
+ directory.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ These distinctions can easily become blurred - especially as
+ out-of-tree features slowly merge upstream over time.
+ Also, remember that how the description files are placed is
+ a purely logical organization and has no impact on the functionality
+ of the kernel Metadata.
+ There is no impact because all of <filename>cfg</filename>,
+ <filename>features</filename>, <filename>patches</filename>, and
+ <filename>ktypes</filename>, contain "features" as far as the kernel
+ tools are concerned.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Paths used in kernel Metadata files are relative to
+ <replaceable>base</replaceable>, which is either
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESEXTRAPATHS'><filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename></ulink>
+ if you are creating Metadata in
+ <link linkend='recipe-space-metadata'>recipe-space</link>,

+ if you are creating
+ <link linkend='metadata-outside-the-recipe-space'>Metadata outside of the recipe-space</link>.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='configuration'>
+ <title>Configuration</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The simplest unit of kernel Metadata is the configuration-only
+ feature.
+ This feature consists of one or more Linux kernel configuration
+ parameters in a configuration fragment file
+ (<filename>.cfg</filename>) and a <filename>.scc</filename> file
+ that describes the fragment.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As an example, consider the Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP)
+ fragment used with the <filename>linux-yocto-4.12</filename>
+ kernel as defined outside of the recipe space (i.e.
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename>).
+ This Metadata consists of two files: <filename>smp.scc</filename>
+ and <filename>smp.cfg</filename>.
+ You can find these files in the <filename>cfg</filename> directory
+ of the <filename>yocto-4.12</filename> branch in the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> Git repository:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ cfg/smp.scc:
+ define KFEATURE_DESCRIPTION "Enable SMP for 32 bit builds"
+ define KFEATURE_COMPATIBILITY all
+
+ kconf hardware smp.cfg
+
+ cfg/smp.cfg:
+ CONFIG_SMP=y
+ CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y
+ # Increase default NR_CPUS from 8 to 64 so that platform with
+ # more than 8 processors can be all activated at boot time
+ CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64
+ # The following is needed when setting NR_CPUS to something
+ # greater than 8 on x86 architectures, it should be automatically
+ # disregarded by Kconfig when using a different arch
+ CONFIG_X86_BIGSMP=y
+ </literallayout>
+ You can find general information on configuration fragment files in
+ the
+ "<link linkend='creating-config-fragments'>Creating Configuration Fragments</link>"
+ section.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Within the <filename>smp.scc</filename> file, the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KFEATURE_DESCRIPTION'><filename>KFEATURE_DESCRIPTION</filename></ulink>
+ statement provides a short description of the fragment.
+ Higher level kernel tools use this description.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Also within the <filename>smp.scc</filename> file, the
+ <filename>kconf</filename> command includes the
+ actual configuration fragment in an <filename>.scc</filename>
+ file, and the "hardware" keyword identifies the fragment as
+ being hardware enabling, as opposed to general policy,
+ which would use the "non-hardware" keyword.
+ The distinction is made for the benefit of the configuration
+ validation tools, which warn you if a hardware fragment
+ overrides a policy set by a non-hardware fragment.
+ <note>
+ The description file can include multiple
+ <filename>kconf</filename> statements, one per fragment.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As described in the
+ "<link linkend='validating-configuration'>Validating Configuration</link>"
+ section, you can use the following BitBake command to audit your
+ configuration:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake linux-yocto -c kernel_configcheck -f
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='patches'>
+ <title>Patches</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Patch descriptions are very similar to configuration fragment
+ descriptions, which are described in the previous section.
+ However, instead of a <filename>.cfg</filename> file, these
+ descriptions work with source patches (i.e.
+ <filename>.patch</filename> files).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A typical patch includes a description file and the patch itself.
+ As an example, consider the build patches used with the
+ <filename>linux-yocto-4.12</filename> kernel as defined outside of
+ the recipe space (i.e. <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename>).
+ This Metadata consists of several files:

+
+ <para>
+ A kernel type defines a high-level kernel policy by
+ aggregating non-hardware configuration fragments with
+ patches you want to use when building a Linux kernel of a
+ specific type (e.g. a real-time kernel).
+ Syntactically, kernel types are no different than features
+ as described in the "<link linkend='features'>Features</link>"
+ section.
+ The
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE'><filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename></ulink>
+ variable in the kernel recipe selects the kernel type.
+ For example, in the <filename>linux-yocto_4.12.bb</filename>
+ kernel recipe found in
+ <filename>poky/meta/recipes-kernel/linux</filename>, a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#require-inclusion'><filename>require</filename></ulink>
+ directive includes the
+ <filename>poky/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc</filename>
+ file, which has the following statement that defines the default
+ kernel type:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE ??= "standard"
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another example would be the real-time kernel (i.e.

+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE = "preempt-rt"

+ <note>
+ You can find kernel recipes in the

+ <title>Overview</title>
+
+ <para>
+ For simplicity, consider the following root BSP layer
+ description files for the BeagleBone board.
+ These files employ both a structure and naming convention
+ for consistency.
+ The naming convention for the file is as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <replaceable>bsp_root_name</replaceable>-<replaceable>kernel_type</replaceable>.scc
+ </literallayout>
+ Here are some example root layer BSP filenames for the
+ BeagleBone Board BSP, which is supported by the Yocto Project:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ beaglebone-standard.scc
+ beaglebone-preempt-rt.scc
+ </literallayout>
+ Each file uses the root name (i.e "beaglebone") BSP name
+ followed by the kernel type.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Examine the <filename>beaglebone-standard.scc</filename>
+ file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ include features/latencytop/latencytop.scc
+ include features/profiling/profiling.scc
+ </literallayout>
+ Every top-level BSP description file should define the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KMACHINE'><filename>KMACHINE</filename></ulink>,
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KTYPE'><filename>KTYPE</filename></ulink>,
+ and <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KARCH'><filename>KARCH</filename></ulink>
+ variables.
+ These variables allow the OpenEmbedded build system to identify
+ the description as meeting the criteria set by the recipe being
+ built.
+ This example supports the "beaglebone" machine for the
+ "standard" kernel and the "arm" architecture.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Be aware that a hard link between the
+ <filename>KTYPE</filename> variable and a kernel type
+ description file does not exist.
+ Thus, if you do not have the kernel type defined in your kernel
+ Metadata as it is here, you only need to ensure that the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE'><filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename></ulink>
+ variable in the kernel recipe and the
+ <filename>KTYPE</filename> variable in the BSP description
+ file match.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To separate your kernel policy from your hardware configuration,
+ you include a kernel type (<filename>ktype</filename>), such as
+ "standard".
+ In the previous example, this is done using the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ include ktypes/standard/standard.scc
+ </literallayout>
+ This file aggregates all the configuration fragments, patches,
+ and features that make up your standard kernel policy.
+ See the "<link linkend='kernel-types'>Kernel Types</link>"

+
+ <para>
+ To aggregate common configurations and features specific to the
+ kernel for <replaceable>mybsp</replaceable>, use the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ include <replaceable>mybsp</replaceable>.scc
+ </literallayout>
+ You can see that in the BeagleBone example with the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ include beaglebone.scc
+ </literallayout>
+ For information on how to break a complete
+ <filename>.config</filename> file into the various
+ configuration fragments, see the
+ "<link linkend='creating-config-fragments'>Creating Configuration Fragments</link>"
+ section.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Finally, if you have any configurations specific to the
+ hardware that are not in a <filename>*.scc</filename> file,
+ you can include them as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ kconf hardware <replaceable>mybsp</replaceable>-<replaceable>extra</replaceable>.cfg
+ </literallayout>
+ The BeagleBone example does not include these types of
+ configurations.
+ However, the Malta 32-bit board does ("mti-malta32").
+ Here is the <filename>mti-malta32-le-standard.scc</filename>

+ This type of repository structure is fine for linear development

+ For example, suppose you need a series of patches for one board to boot.

+ yet they are still necessary for specific boards.
+ In these situations, you most likely do not want to include these

+ It is situations like these that give rise to multiple branches used

+ <section id='machine-branches'>
+ <title>Machine Branches</title>
+
+ <para>
+ When you have multiple machines and architectures to support,
+ or you are actively working on board support, it is more
+ efficient to create branches in the repository based on
+ individual machines.
+ Having machine branches allows common source to remain in the
+ "master" branch with any features specific to a machine stored
+ in the appropriate machine branch.
+ This organization method frees you from continually reintegrating
+ your patches into a feature.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once you have a new branch, you can set up your kernel Metadata
+ to use the branch a couple different ways.
+ In the recipe, you can specify the new branch as the
+ <filename>KBRANCH</filename> to use for the board as
+ follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ KBRANCH = "mynewbranch"
+ </literallayout>
+ Another method is to use the <filename>branch</filename> command
+ in the BSP description:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ mybsp.scc:
+ define KMACHINE mybsp
+ define KTYPE standard
+ define KARCH i386
+ include standard.scc
+
+ branch mynewbranch
+
+ include mybsp-hw.scc
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you find yourself with numerous branches, you might consider
+ using a hierarchical branching system similar to what the
+ Yocto Linux Kernel Git repositories use:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <replaceable>common</replaceable>/<replaceable>kernel_type</replaceable>/<replaceable>machine</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you had two kernel types, "standard" and "small" for
+ instance, three machines, and <replaceable>common</replaceable>
+ as <filename>mydir</filename>, the branches in your
+ Git repository might look like this:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ mydir/base
+ mydir/standard/base
+ mydir/standard/machine_a
+ mydir/standard/machine_b
+ mydir/standard/machine_c
+ mydir/small/base
+ mydir/small/machine_a
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This organization can help clarify the branch relationships.
+ In this case, <filename>mydir/standard/machine_a</filename>
+ includes everything in <filename>mydir/base</filename> and
+ <filename>mydir/standard/base</filename>.
+ The "standard" and "small" branches add sources specific to those
+ kernel types that for whatever reason are not appropriate for the
+ other branches.
+ <note>
+ The "base" branches are an artifact of the way Git manages
+ its data internally on the filesystem: Git will not allow you
+ to use <filename>mydir/standard</filename> and
+ <filename>mydir/standard/machine_a</filename> because it
+ would have to create a file and a directory named "standard".

+<title>Common Tasks</title>
+
+ <para>
+ This chapter presents several common tasks you perform when you
+ work with the Yocto Project Linux kernel.
+ These tasks include preparing your host development system for
+ kernel development, preparing a layer, modifying an existing recipe,
+ patching the kernel, configuring the kernel, iterative development,
+ working with your own sources, and incorporating out-of-tree modules.
+ <note>
+ The examples presented in this chapter work with the Yocto Project
+ 2.4 Release and forward.

+ <title>Preparing the Build Host to Work on the Kernel</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Before you can do any kernel development, you need to be
+ sure your build host is set up to use the Yocto Project.
+ For information on how to get set up, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#dev-preparing-the-build-host'>Preparing the Build Host</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+ Part of preparing the system is creating a local Git
+ repository of the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+ (<filename>poky</filename>) on your system.
+ Follow the steps in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#cloning-the-poky-repository'>Cloning the <filename>poky</filename> Repository</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual to set up your
+ Source Directory.
+ <note>
+ Be sure you check out the appropriate development branch or
+ you create your local branch by checking out a specific tag
+ to get the desired version of Yocto Project.
+ See the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#checking-out-by-branch-in-poky'>Checking Out by Branch in Poky</ulink>"

+ BSP.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ One thing missing in this particular BSP, which you will
+ typically need when developing a BSP, is the kernel
+ configuration file (<filename>.config</filename>) for your BSP.
+ When developing a BSP, you probably have a kernel configuration
+ file or a set of kernel configuration files that, when taken
+ together, define the kernel configuration for your BSP.
+ You can accomplish this definition by putting the configurations
+ in a file or a set of files inside a directory located at the
+ same level as your kernel's append file and having the same
+ name as the kernel's main recipe file.
+ With all these conditions met, simply reference those files in
+ the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+ statement in the append file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For example, suppose you had some configuration options
+ in a file called <filename>network_configs.cfg</filename>.
+ You can place that file inside a directory named
+ <filename>linux-yocto</filename> and then add
+ a <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement such as the
+ following to the append file.
+ When the OpenEmbedded build system builds the kernel, the
+ configuration options are picked up and applied.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI += "file://network_configs.cfg"
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To group related configurations into multiple files, you
+ perform a similar procedure.
+ Here is an example that groups separate configurations
+ specifically for Ethernet and graphics into their own
+ files and adds the configurations by using a
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement like the following
+ in your append file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI += "file://myconfig.cfg \
+ file://eth.cfg \
+ file://gfx.cfg"
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another variable you can use in your kernel recipe append
+ file is the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESEXTRAPATHS'><filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename></ulink>
+ variable.
+ When you use this statement, you are extending the locations
+ used by the OpenEmbedded system to look for files and
+ patches as the recipe is processed.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ Other methods exist to accomplish grouping and defining
+ configuration options.
+ For example, if you are working with a local clone of the
+ kernel repository, you could checkout the kernel's
+ <filename>meta</filename> branch, make your changes, and
+ then push the changes to the local bare clone of the
+ kernel.
+ The result is that you directly add configuration options
+ to the <filename>meta</filename> branch for your BSP.
+ The configuration options will likely end up in that
+ location anyway if the BSP gets added to the Yocto Project.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In general, however, the Yocto Project maintainers take
+ care of moving the <filename>SRC_URI</filename>-specified
+ configuration options to the kernel's
+ <filename>meta</filename> branch.
+ Not only is it easier for BSP developers to not have to
+ worry about putting those configurations in the branch,
+ but having the maintainers do it allows them to apply
+ 'global' knowledge about the kinds of common configuration
+ options multiple BSPs in the tree are typically using.
+ This allows for promotion of common configurations into
+ common features.

+ <section id='applying-patches'>
+ <title>Applying Patches</title>
+
+ <para>
+ If you have a single patch or a small series of patches
+ that you want to apply to the Linux kernel source, you
+ can do so just as you would with any other recipe.
+ You first copy the patches to the path added to
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESEXTRAPATHS'><filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename></ulink>
+ in your <filename>.bbappend</filename> file as described in
+ the previous section, and then reference them in
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+ statements.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For example, you can apply a three-patch series by adding the
+ following lines to your linux-yocto
+ <filename>.bbappend</filename> file in your layer:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI += "file://0001-first-change.patch"
+ SRC_URI += "file://0002-second-change.patch"
+ SRC_URI += "file://0003-third-change.patch"
+ </literallayout>
+ The next time you run BitBake to build the Linux kernel,
+ BitBake detects the change in the recipe and fetches and
+ applies the patches before building the kernel.

+ <title>Changing the Configuration</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You can make wholesale or incremental changes to the final
+ <filename>.config</filename> file used for the eventual
+ Linux kernel configuration by including a
+ <filename>defconfig</filename> file and by specifying
+ configuration fragments in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+ to be applied to that file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you have a complete, working Linux kernel
+ <filename>.config</filename>
+ file you want to use for the configuration, as before, copy
+ that file to the appropriate <filename>${PN}</filename>
+ directory in your layer's
+ <filename>recipes-kernel/linux</filename> directory,
+ and rename the copied file to "defconfig".
+ Then, add the following lines to the linux-yocto
+ <filename>.bbappend</filename> file in your layer:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
+ SRC_URI += "file://defconfig"
+ </literallayout>
+ The <filename>SRC_URI</filename> tells the build system how to
+ search for the file, while the

+ extends the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESPATH'><filename>FILESPATH</filename></ulink>
+ variable (search directories) to include the
+ <filename>${PN}</filename> directory you created to hold the
+ configuration changes.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ The build system applies the configurations from the
+ <filename>defconfig</filename> file before applying any
+ subsequent configuration fragments.
+ The final kernel configuration is a combination of the
+ configurations in the <filename>defconfig</filename> file and
+ any configuration fragments you provide.
+ You need to realize that if you have any configuration
+ fragments, the build system applies these on top of and
+ after applying the existing <filename>defconfig</filename>
+ file configurations.
+ </note>
+
+ <para>
+ Generally speaking, the preferred approach is to determine the
+ incremental change you want to make and add that as a
+ configuration fragment.
+ For example, if you want to add support for a basic serial
+ console, create a file named <filename>8250.cfg</filename> in
+ the <filename>${PN}</filename> directory with the following
+ content (without indentation):
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y
+ CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y
+ CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCI=y
+ CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=4
+ CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=4
+ CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
+ CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
+ </literallayout>
+ Next, include this configuration fragment and extend the
+ <filename>FILESPATH</filename> variable in your
+ <filename>.bbappend</filename> file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
+ SRC_URI += "file://8250.cfg"
+ </literallayout>
+ The next time you run BitBake to build the Linux kernel, BitBake
+ detects the change in the recipe and fetches and applies the
+ new configuration before building the kernel.

+ <para>
+ It might be desirable to have kernel configuration fragment
+ support through a <filename>defconfig</filename> file that
+ is pulled from the kernel source tree for the configured
+ machine.
+ By default, the OpenEmbedded build system looks for
+ <filename>defconfig</filename> files in the layer used for

+ using the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI += "file://defconfig"
+ </literallayout>
+ If you do not want to maintain copies of
+ <filename>defconfig</filename> files in your layer but would
+ rather allow users to use the default configuration from the
+ kernel tree and still be able to add configuration fragments
+ to the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+ through, for example, append files, you can direct the
+ OpenEmbedded build system to use a
+ <filename>defconfig</filename> file that is "in-tree".
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To specify an "in-tree" <filename>defconfig</filename> file,
+ use the following statement form:

+ <title>Building Out-of-Tree Modules on the Target</title>

+ <para>
+ While the traditional Yocto Project development model would be
+ to include kernel modules as part of the normal build
+ process, you might find it useful to build modules on the
+ target.
+ This could be the case if your target system is capable
+ and powerful enough to handle the necessary compilation.
+ Before deciding to build on your target, however, you should
+ consider the benefits of using a proper cross-development
+ environment from your build host.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you want to be able to build out-of-tree modules on
+ the target, there are some steps you need to take
+ on the target that is running your SDK image.
+ Briefly, the <filename>kernel-dev</filename> package
+ is installed by default on all
+ <filename>*.sdk</filename> images and the
+ <filename>kernel-devsrc</filename> package is installed
+ on many of the <filename>*.sdk</filename> images.
+ However, you need to create some scripts prior to
+ attempting to build the out-of-tree modules on the target
+ that is running that image.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Prior to attempting to build the out-of-tree modules,
+ you need to be on the target as root and you need to
+ change to the <filename>/usr/src/kernel</filename> directory.
+ Next, <filename>make</filename> the scripts:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ # cd /usr/src/kernel
+ # make scripts
+ </literallayout>
+ Because all SDK image recipes include
+ <filename>dev-pkgs</filename>, the
+ <filename>kernel-dev</filename> packages will be installed
+ as part of the SDK image and the
+ <filename>kernel-devsrc</filename> packages will be installed
+ as part of applicable SDK images.
+ The SDK uses the scripts when building out-of-tree
+ modules.
+ Once you have switched to that directory and created the
+ scripts, you should be able to build your out-of-tree modules
+ on the target.

+ While it is always preferable to work with sources integrated

+ available as a template from which you can create your
+ own out-of-tree Linux kernel module recipe.
+ </para>
+

+ <para>
+ To get started, copy this recipe to your layer and give it a

+ <para>
+ Depending on the build system used by the module sources,

+ <title>What Changed in a Kernel?</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Following are a few examples that show how to use Git
+ commands to examine changes.
+ These examples are by no means the only way to see changes.
+ <note>
+ In the following examples, unless you provide a commit
+ range, <filename>kernel.org</filename> history is blended
+ with Yocto Project kernel changes.
+ You can form ranges by using branch names from the
+ kernel tree as the upper and lower commit markers with
+ the Git commands.
+ You can see the branch names through the web interface
+ to the Yocto Project source repositories at
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'></ulink>.
+ </note>
+ To see a full range of the changes, use the
+ <filename>git whatchanged</filename> command and specify a
+ commit range for the branch
+ (<replaceable>commit</replaceable><filename>..</filename><replaceable>commit</replaceable>).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Here is an example that looks at what has changed in the
+ <filename>emenlow</filename> branch of the
+ <filename>linux-yocto-3.19</filename> kernel.
+ The lower commit range is the commit associated with the
+ <filename>standard/base</filename> branch, while
+ the upper commit range is the commit associated with the
+ <filename>standard/emenlow</filename> branch.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git whatchanged origin/standard/base..origin/standard/emenlow
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To see short, one line summaries of changes use the
+ <filename>git log</filename> command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git log --oneline origin/standard/base..origin/standard/emenlow
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Use this command to see code differences for the changes:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git diff origin/standard/base..origin/standard/emenlow
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Use this command to see the commit log messages and the
+ text differences:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git show origin/standard/base..origin/standard/emenlow
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Use this command to create individual patches for
+ each change.
+ Here is an example that that creates patch files for each
+ commit and places them in your <filename>Documents</filename>
+ directory:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git format-patch -o $HOME/Documents origin/standard/base..origin/standard/emenlow

+ Here is an example that shows <filename>systemtap</filename>
+ changes:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git show systemtap
+ </literallayout>
+ You can use the

+ <title>Adding Recipe-Space Kernel Features</title>

+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KERNEL_FEATURES'><filename>KERNEL_FEATURES</filename></ulink>
+ variable and by specifying the feature's <filename>.scc</filename>
+ file path in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+ statement.
+ When you add features using this method, the OpenEmbedded build
+ system checks to be sure the features are present.
+ If the features are not present, the build stops.
+ Kernel features are the last elements processed for configuring
+ and patching the kernel.
+ Therefore, adding features in this manner is a way
+ to enforce specific features are present and enabled
+ without needing to do a full audit of any other layer's additions
+ to the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You add a kernel feature by providing the feature as part of the
+ <filename>KERNEL_FEATURES</filename> variable and by providing the
+ path to the feature's <filename>.scc</filename> file, which is
+ relative to the root of the kernel Metadata.
+ The OpenEmbedded build system searches all forms of kernel
+ Metadata on the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement regardless
+ of whether the Metadata is in the "kernel-cache", system kernel
+ Metadata, or a recipe-space Metadata (i.e. part of the kernel
+ recipe).
+ See the
+ "<link linkend='kernel-metadata-location'>Kernel Metadata Location</link>"
+ section for additional information.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you specify the feature's <filename>.scc</filename> file
+ on the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement, the OpenEmbedded
+ build system adds the directory of that
+ <filename>.scc</filename> file along with all its subdirectories
+ to the kernel feature search path.
+ Because subdirectories are searched, you can reference a single
+ <filename>.scc</filename> file in the
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement to reference multiple kernel
+ features.

+ <title>Yocto Project Kernel Development and Maintenance</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Kernels available through the Yocto Project (Yocto Linux kernels),
+ like other kernels, are based off the Linux kernel releases from
+ <ulink url='http://www.kernel.org'></ulink>.
+ At the beginning of a major Linux kernel development cycle, the
+ Yocto Project team chooses a Linux kernel based on factors such as
+ release timing, the anticipated release timing of final upstream
+ <filename>kernel.org</filename> versions, and Yocto Project
+ feature requirements.
+ Typically, the Linux kernel chosen is in the final stages of
+ development by the Linux community.
+ In other words, the Linux kernel is in the release candidate
+ or "rc" phase and has yet to reach final release.
+ But, by being in the final stages of external development, the
+ team knows that the <filename>kernel.org</filename> final release
+ will clearly be within the early stages of the Yocto Project
+ development window.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This balance allows the Yocto Project team to deliver the most
+ up-to-date Yocto Linux kernel possible, while still ensuring that
+ the team has a stable official release for the baseline Linux
+ kernel version.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As implied earlier, the ultimate source for Yocto Linux kernels
+ are released kernels from <filename>kernel.org</filename>.
+ In addition to a foundational kernel from
+ <filename>kernel.org</filename>, the available Yocto Linux kernels
+ contain a mix of important new mainline developments, non-mainline
+ developments (when no alternative exists), Board Support Package
+ (BSP) developments, and custom features.
+ These additions result in a commercially released Yocto
+ Project Linux kernel that caters to specific embedded designer
+ needs for targeted hardware.
+ </para>

+ Once a Yocto Linux kernel is officially released, the Yocto
+ Project team goes into their next development cycle, or upward
+ revision (uprev) cycle, while still continuing maintenance on the
+ released kernel.
+ It is important to note that the most sustainable and stable way
+ to include feature development upstream is through a kernel uprev
+ process.
+ Back-porting hundreds of individual fixes and minor features from
+ various kernel versions is not sustainable and can easily
+ compromise quality.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ During the uprev cycle, the Yocto Project team uses an ongoing
+ analysis of Linux kernel development, BSP support, and release
+ timing to select the best possible <filename>kernel.org</filename>
+ Linux kernel version on which to base subsequent Yocto Linux
+ kernel development.
+ The team continually monitors Linux community kernel development
+ to look for significant features of interest.
+ The team does consider back-porting large features if they have a
+ significant advantage.
+ User or community demand can also trigger a back-port or creation
+ of new functionality in the Yocto Project baseline kernel during
+ the uprev cycle.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Generally speaking, every new Linux kernel both adds features and
+ introduces new bugs.
+ These consequences are the basic properties of upstream
+ Linux kernel development and are managed by the Yocto Project
+ team's Yocto Linux kernel development strategy.
+ It is the Yocto Project team's policy to not back-port minor
+ features to the released Yocto Linux kernel.
+ They only consider back-porting significant technological
+ jumps ‐ and, that is done after a complete gap analysis.
+ The reason for this policy is that back-porting any small to
+ medium sized change from an evolving Linux kernel can easily
+ create mismatches, incompatibilities and very subtle errors.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The policies described in this section result in both a stable
+ and a cutting edge Yocto Linux kernel that mixes forward ports of
+ existing Linux kernel features and significant and critical new
+ functionality.
+ Forward porting Linux kernel functionality into the Yocto Linux
+ kernels available through the Yocto Project can be thought of as
+ a "micro uprev."
+ The many "micro uprevs" produce a Yocto Linux kernel version with
+ a mix of important new mainline, non-mainline, BSP developments
+ and feature integrations.
+ This Yocto Linux kernel gives insight into new features and
+ allows focused amounts of testing to be done on the kernel,
+ which prevents surprises when selecting the next major uprev.
+ The quality of these cutting edge Yocto Linux kernels is evolving
+ and the kernels are used in leading edge feature and BSP
+ development.

+ <title>Yocto Linux Kernel Architecture and Branching Strategies</title>
+
+ <para>
+ As mentioned earlier, a key goal of the Yocto Project is
+ to present the developer with a kernel that has a clear and
+ continuous history that is visible to the user.
+ The architecture and mechanisms, in particular the branching
+ strategies, used achieve that goal in a manner similar to
+ upstream Linux kernel development in
+ <filename>kernel.org</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can think of a Yocto Linux kernel as consisting of a
+ baseline Linux kernel with added features logically structured
+ on top of the baseline.
+ The features are tagged and organized by way of a branching
+ strategy implemented by the Yocto Project team using the
+ Source Code Manager (SCM) Git.
+ <note><title>Notes</title>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Git is the obvious SCM for meeting the Yocto Linux
+ kernel organizational and structural goals described
+ in this section.
+ Not only is Git the SCM for Linux kernel development in
+ <filename>kernel.org</filename> but, Git continues to
+ grow in popularity and supports many different work
+ flows, front-ends and management techniques.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ You can find documentation on Git at
+ <ulink url='http://git-scm.com/documentation'></ulink>.
+ You can also get an introduction to Git as it
+ applies to the Yocto Project in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#git'>Git</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts
+ Manual.
+ The latter reference provides an overview of
+ Git and presents a minimal set of Git commands
+ that allows you to be functional using Git.
+ You can use as much, or as little, of what Git
+ has to offer to accomplish what you need for your
+ project.
+ You do not have to be a "Git Expert" in order to
+ use it with the Yocto Project.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Using Git's tagging and branching features, the Yocto Project
+ team creates kernel branches at points where functionality is
+ no longer shared and thus, needs to be isolated.
+ For example, board-specific incompatibilities would require
+ different functionality and would require a branch to
+ separate the features.
+ Likewise, for specific kernel features, the same branching
+ strategy is used.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This "tree-like" architecture results in a structure that has
+ features organized to be specific for particular functionality,
+ single kernel types, or a subset of kernel types.
+ Thus, the user has the ability to see the added features and the
+ commits that make up those features.
+ In addition to being able to see added features, the user
+ can also view the history of what made up the baseline
+ Linux kernel.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another consequence of this strategy results in not having to
+ store the same feature twice internally in the tree.
+ Rather, the kernel team stores the unique differences required
+ to apply the feature onto the kernel type in question.
+ <note>
+ The Yocto Project team strives to place features in the tree
+ such that features can be shared by all boards and kernel
+ types where possible.
+ However, during development cycles or when large features
+ are merged, the team cannot always follow this practice.
+ In those cases, the team uses isolated branches to merge
+ features.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BSP-specific code additions are handled in a similar manner to
+ kernel-specific additions.
+ Some BSPs only make sense given certain kernel types.
+ So, for these types, the team creates branches off the end
+ of that kernel type for all of the BSPs that are supported on
+ that kernel type.
+ From the perspective of the tools that create the BSP branch,
+ the BSP is really no different than a feature.
+ Consequently, the same branching strategy applies to BSPs as
+ it does to kernel features.
+ So again, rather than store the BSP twice, the team only
+ stores the unique differences for the BSP across the supported
+ multiple kernels.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ While this strategy can result in a tree with a significant number
+ of branches, it is important to realize that from the developer's
+ point of view, there is a linear path that travels from the
+ baseline <filename>kernel.org</filename>, through a select
+ group of features and ends with their BSP-specific commits.
+ In other words, the divisions of the kernel are transparent and
+ are not relevant to the developer on a day-to-day basis.
+ From the developer's perspective, this path is the "master" branch
+ in Git terms.
+ The developer does not need to be aware of the existence of any
+ other branches at all.
+ Of course, value exists in the having these branches in the tree,
+ should a person decide to explore them.
+ For example, a comparison between two BSPs at either the commit
+ level or at the line-by-line code <filename>diff</filename> level
+ is now a trivial operation.

+ The following illustration shows the conceptual Yocto
+ Linux kernel.

+
+ <para>
+ In the illustration, the "Kernel.org Branch Point" marks the
+ specific spot (or Linux kernel release) from which the
+ Yocto Linux kernel is created.
+ From this point forward in the tree, features and differences
+ are organized and tagged.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The "Yocto Project Baseline Kernel" contains functionality that
+ is common to every kernel type and BSP that is organized
+ further along in the tree.
+ Placing these common features in the tree this way means
+ features do not have to be duplicated along individual
+ branches of the tree structure.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ From the "Yocto Project Baseline Kernel", branch points represent
+ specific functionality for individual Board Support Packages
+ (BSPs) as well as real-time kernels.
+ The illustration represents this through three BSP-specific
+ branches and a real-time kernel branch.
+ Each branch represents some unique functionality for the BSP
+ or for a real-time Yocto Linux kernel.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In this example structure, the "Real-time (rt) Kernel" branch has
+ common features for all real-time Yocto Linux kernels and
+ contains more branches for individual BSP-specific real-time
+ kernels.
+ The illustration shows three branches as an example.
+ Each branch points the way to specific, unique features for a
+ respective real-time kernel as they apply to a given BSP.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The resulting tree structure presents a clear path of markers
+ (or branches) to the developer that, for all practical
+ purposes, is the Yocto Linux kernel needed for any given set of
+ requirements.
+ <note>
+ Keep in mind the figure does not take into account all the
+ supported Yocto Linux kernels, but rather shows a single
+ generic kernel just for conceptual purposes.
+ Also keep in mind that this structure represents the Yocto
+ Project
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#source-repositories'>Source Repositories</ulink>
+ that are either pulled from during the build or established
+ on the host development system prior to the build by either
+ cloning a particular kernel's Git repository or by
+ downloading and unpacking a tarball.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Working with the kernel as a structured tree follows recognized
+ community best practices.
+ In particular, the kernel as shipped with the product, should be
+ considered an "upstream source" and viewed as a series of
+ historical and documented modifications (commits).
+ These modifications represent the development and stabilization
+ done by the Yocto Project kernel development team.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Because commits only change at significant release points in the
+ product life cycle, developers can work on a branch created
+ from the last relevant commit in the shipped Yocto Project Linux
+ kernel.
+ As mentioned previously, the structure is transparent to the
+ developer because the kernel tree is left in this state after
+ cloning and building the kernel.

+ <title>Determining Hardware and Non-Hardware Features for the Kernel Configuration Audit Phase</title>
+
+ <para>
+ This section describes part of the kernel configuration audit
+ phase that most developers can ignore.
+ For general information on kernel configuration including
+ <filename>menuconfig</filename>, <filename>defconfig</filename>
+ files, and configuration fragments, see the
+ "<link linkend='configuring-the-kernel'>Configuring the Kernel</link>"
+ section.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ During this part of the audit phase, the contents of the final
+ <filename>.config</filename> file are compared against the
+ fragments specified by the system.
+ These fragments can be system fragments, distro fragments,
+ or user-specified configuration elements.
+ Regardless of their origin, the OpenEmbedded build system
+ warns the user if a specific option is not included in the
+ final kernel configuration.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, in order to not overwhelm the user with
+ configuration warnings, the system only reports missing
+ "hardware" options as they could result in a boot
+ failure or indicate that important hardware is not available.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To determine whether or not a given option is "hardware" or
+ "non-hardware", the kernel Metadata in
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> contains files that
+ classify individual or groups of options as either hardware
+ or non-hardware.
+ To better show this, consider a situation where the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> contains the following
+ files:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ yocto-kernel-cache/features/drm-psb/hardware.cfg
+ yocto-kernel-cache/features/kgdb/hardware.cfg
+ yocto-kernel-cache/ktypes/base/hardware.cfg

+ <title>Overview</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Regardless of how you intend to make use of the Yocto Project,
+ chances are you will work with the Linux kernel.
+ This manual describes how to set up your build host to support
+ kernel development, introduces the kernel development process,
+ provides background information on the Yocto Linux kernel
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>,
+ describes common tasks you can perform using the kernel tools,
+ shows you how to use the kernel Metadata needed to work with
+ the kernel inside the Yocto Project, and provides insight into how
+ the Yocto Project team develops and maintains Yocto Linux kernel
+ Git repositories and Metadata.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Each Yocto Project release has a set of Yocto Linux kernel recipes,
+ whose Git repositories you can view in the Yocto
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'>Source Repositories</ulink> under
+ the "Yocto Linux Kernel" heading.
+ New recipes for the release track the latest Linux kernel
+ upstream developments from
+ <ulink url='http://www.kernel.org'></ulink> and introduce
+ newly-supported platforms.
+ Previous recipes in the release are refreshed and supported for at
+ least one additional Yocto Project release.
+ As they align, these previous releases are updated to include the
+ latest from the Long Term Support Initiative (LTSI) project.
+ You can learn more about Yocto Linux kernels and LTSI in the
+ "<link linkend='kernel-big-picture'>Yocto Project Kernel Development and Maintenance</link>"
+ section.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Also included is a Yocto Linux kernel development recipe
+ (<filename>linux-yocto-dev.bb</filename>) should you want to work
+ with the very latest in upstream Yocto Linux kernel development and
+ kernel Metadata development.
+ <note>
+ For more on Yocto Linux kernels, see the
+ "<link linkend='kernel-big-picture'>Yocto Project Kernel Development and Maintenance</link>
+ section.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project also provides a powerful set of kernel
+ tools for managing Yocto Linux kernel sources and configuration data.
+ You can use these tools to make a single configuration change,
+ apply multiple patches, or work with your own kernel sources.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In particular, the kernel tools allow you to generate configuration
+ fragments that specify only what you must, and nothing more.
+ Configuration fragments only need to contain the highest level
+ visible <filename>CONFIG</filename> options as presented by the
+ Yocto Linux kernel <filename>menuconfig</filename> system.
+ Contrast this against a complete Yocto Linux kernel
+ <filename>.config</filename> file, which includes all the automatically
+ selected <filename>CONFIG</filename> options.
+ This efficiency reduces your maintenance effort and allows you
+ to further separate your configuration in ways that make sense for
+ your project.
+ A common split separates policy and hardware.
+ For example, all your kernels might support the
+ <filename>proc</filename> and <filename>sys</filename> filesystems,
+ but only specific boards require sound, USB, or specific drivers.
+ Specifying these configurations individually allows you to aggregate
+ them together as needed, but maintains them in only one place.
+ Similar logic applies to separating source changes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you do not maintain your own kernel sources and need to make
+ only minimal changes to the sources, the released recipes provide a
+ vetted base upon which to layer your changes.
+ Doing so allows you to benefit from the continual kernel
+ integration and testing performed during development of the
+ Yocto Project.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If, instead, you have a very specific Linux kernel source tree
+ and are unable to align with one of the official Yocto Linux kernel
+ recipes, an alternative exists by which you can use the Yocto
+ Project Linux kernel tools with your own kernel sources.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The remainder of this manual provides instructions for completing
+ specific Linux kernel development tasks.
+ These instructions assume you are comfortable working with
+ <ulink url='http://openembedded.org/wiki/Bitbake'>BitBake</ulink>
+ recipes and basic open-source development tools.
+ Understanding these concepts will facilitate the process of working
+ with the kernel recipes.
+ If you find you need some additional background, please be sure to

+ Kernel modification involves changing the Yocto Project kernel,
+ which could involve changing configuration options as well as adding
+ new kernel recipes.
+ Configuration changes can be added in the form of configuration
+ fragments, while recipe modification comes through the kernel's

+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Make Changes to the Kernel Source Code if

+ Modifying the kernel does not always mean directly

+ <filename>devtool</filename>.
+ For more information, see the

+ If your situation calls for changing the kernel's

+ <link linkend='using-menuconfig'><filename>menuconfig</filename></link>,
+ which allows you to interactively develop and test the
+ configuration changes you are making to the kernel.
+ Saving changes you make with <filename>menuconfig</filename>

+ <note><title>Warning</title>
+ Try to resist the temptation to directly edit an

+ found in the Build Directory among the source code
+ used for the build.
+ Doing so, can produce unexpected results when the
+ OpenEmbedded build system regenerates the configuration
+ file.
+ </note>
+ Once you are satisfied with the configuration
+ changes made using <filename>menuconfig</filename>
+ and you have saved them, you can directly compare the
+ resulting <filename>.config</filename> file against an
+ existing original and gather those changes into a
+ <link linkend='creating-config-fragments'>configuration fragment file</link>
+ to be referenced from within the kernel's
+ <filename>.bbappend</filename> file.</para>
+
+ <para>Additionally, if you are working in a BSP layer

+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Rebuild the Kernel Image With Your Changes:</emphasis>
+ Rebuilding the kernel image applies your changes.
+ Depending on your target hardware, you can verify your changes

+
+ <para>
+ This section describes construction of the Yocto Project kernel
+ source repositories as accomplished by the Yocto Project team to
+ create Yocto Linux kernel repositories.
+ These kernel repositories are found under the heading "Yocto Linux
+ Kernel" at
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'>&YOCTO_GIT_URL;</ulink>
+ and are shipped as part of a Yocto Project release.
+ The team creates these repositories by compiling and executing the
+ set of feature descriptions for every BSP and feature in the
+ product.
+ Those feature descriptions list all necessary patches,
+ configurations, branches, tags, and feature divisions found in a
+ Yocto Linux kernel.
+ Thus, the Yocto Project Linux kernel repository (or tree) and
+ accompanying Metadata in the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> are built.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The existence of these repositories allow you to access and clone a
+ particular Yocto Project Linux kernel repository and use it to
+ build images based on their configurations and features.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can find the files used to describe all the valid features and
+ BSPs in the Yocto Project Linux kernel in any clone of the Yocto
+ Project Linux kernel source repository and
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> Git trees.
+ For example, the following commands clone the Yocto Project
+ baseline Linux kernel that branches off
+ <filename>linux.org</filename> version 4.12 and the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename>, which contains stores of
+ kernel Metadata:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-4.12
+ $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-kernel-cache
+ </literallayout>
+ For more information on how to set up a local Git repository of
+ the Yocto Project Linux kernel files, see the
+ "<link linkend='preparing-the-build-host-to-work-on-the-kernel'>Preparing the Build Host to Work on the Kernel</link>"
+ section.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once you have cloned the kernel Git repository and the
+ cache of Metadata on your local machine, you can discover the
+ branches that are available in the repository using the following
+ Git command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git branch -a
+ </literallayout>
+ Checking out a branch allows you to work with a particular
+ Yocto Linux kernel.
+ For example, the following commands check out the
+ "standard/beagleboard" branch of the Yocto Linux kernel repository
+ and the "yocto-4.12" branch of the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> repository:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ cd ~/linux-yocto-4.12
+ $ git checkout -b my-kernel-4.12 remotes/origin/standard/beagleboard
+ $ cd ~/linux-kernel-cache
+ $ git checkout -b my-4.12-metadata remotes/origin/yocto-4.12
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ Branches in the <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename>
+ repository correspond to Yocto Linux kernel versions
+ (e.g. "yocto-4.12", "yocto-4.10", "yocto-4.9", and so forth).
+ </note>
+ Once you have checked out and switched to appropriate branches,
+ you can see a snapshot of all the kernel source files used to
+ used to build that particular Yocto Linux kernel for a
+ particular board.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To see the features and configurations for a particular Yocto
+ Linux kernel, you need to examine the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> Git repository.
+ As mentioned, branches in the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> repository correspond to
+ Yocto Linux kernel versions (e.g. <filename>yocto-4.12</filename>).
+ Branches contain descriptions in the form of
+ <filename>.scc</filename> and <filename>.cfg</filename> files.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You should realize, however, that browsing your local
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> repository for feature
+ descriptions and patches is not an effective way to determine what
+ is in a particular kernel branch.
+ Instead, you should use Git directly to discover the changes in
+ a branch.
+ Using Git is an efficient and flexible way to inspect changes to
+ the kernel.
+ <note>
+ Ground up reconstruction of the complete kernel tree is an
+ action only taken by the Yocto Project team during an active
+ development cycle.
+ When you create a clone of the kernel Git repository, you are
+ simply making it efficiently available for building and
+ development.
+ </note>

+ The following steps describe what happens when the Yocto Project
+ Team constructs the Yocto Project kernel source Git repository
+ (or tree) found at
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'></ulink> given the
+ introduction of a new top-level kernel feature or BSP.

+ Once you have cloned a Yocto Linux kernel repository and the
+ cache repository (<filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename>) onto
+ your development system, you can consider the compilation phase

+ A BSP build branch with Metadata exists in the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> repository.
+ The branch is based on the Yocto Linux kernel version and
+ has configurations and features grouped under the
+ <filename>yocto-kernel-cache/bsp</filename> directory.
+ For example, features and configurations for the
+ BeagleBone Board assuming a

+ repository:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ yocto-kernel-cache/bsp/beaglebone

+ The OpenEmbedded build system makes sure these conditions exist
+ before attempting compilation.
+ Other means, however, do exist, such as as bootstrapping a BSP.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Before building a kernel, the build process verifies the tree
+ and configures the kernel by processing all of the
+ configuration "fragments" specified by feature descriptions
+ in the <filename>.scc</filename> files.
+ As the features are compiled, associated kernel configuration
+ fragments are noted and recorded in the series of directories
+ in their compilation order.
+ The fragments are migrated, pre-processed and passed to the
+ Linux Kernel Configuration subsystem (<filename>lkc</filename>) as
+ raw input in the form of a <filename>.config</filename> file.
+ The <filename>lkc</filename> uses its own internal dependency
+ constraints to do the final processing of that information and
+ generates the final <filename>.config</filename> file that is used
+ during compilation.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Using the board's architecture and other relevant values from
+ the board's template, kernel compilation is started and a kernel
+ image is produced.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The other thing that you notice once you configure a kernel is that
+ the build process generates a build tree that is separate from
+ your kernel's local Git source repository tree.
+ This build tree has a name that uses the following form, where
+ <filename>${MACHINE}</filename> is the metadata name of the
+ machine (BSP) and "kernel_type" is one of the Yocto Project
+ supported kernel types (e.g. "standard"):
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ linux-${MACHINE}-<replaceable>kernel_type</replaceable>-build
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The existing support in the <filename>kernel.org</filename> tree
+ achieves this default functionality.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This behavior means that all the generated files for a particular
+ machine or BSP are now in the build tree directory.
+ The files include the final <filename>.config</filename> file,
+ all the <filename>.o</filename> files, the <filename>.a</filename>
+ files, and so forth.
+ Since each machine or BSP has its own separate
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>
+ in its own separate branch of the Git repository, you can easily
+ switch between different builds.

+
+ <para>
+ This chapter provides explanations for Yocto Project concepts that
+ go beyond the surface of "how-to" information and reference (or
+ look-up) material.
+ Concepts such as components, the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>
+ workflow, cross-development toolchains, shared state cache, and so
+ forth are explained.

+
+ <para>
+ The
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#bitbake-term'>BitBake</ulink>
+ task executor together with various types of configuration files
+ form the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#oe-core'>OpenEmbedded-Core</ulink>.
+ This section overviews these components by describing their use and
+ how they interact.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake handles the parsing and execution of the data files.
+ The data itself is of various types:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Recipes:</emphasis>
+ Provides details about particular pieces of software.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Class Data:</emphasis>
+ Abstracts common build information (e.g. how to build a
+ Linux kernel).
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Configuration Data:</emphasis>
+ Defines machine-specific settings, policy decisions, and
+ so forth.
+ Configuration data acts as the glue to bind everything
+ together.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake knows how to combine multiple data sources together and
+ refers to each data source as a layer.
+ For information on layers, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#understanding-and-creating-layers'>Understanding and Creating Layers</ulink>"
+ section of the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Following are some brief details on these core components.
+ For additional information on how these components interact during
+ a build, see the
+ "<link linkend='openembedded-build-system-build-concepts'>OpenEmbedded Build System Concepts</link>"
+ section.
+ </para>

+ <title>BitBake</title>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake is the tool at the heart of the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>
+ and is responsible for parsing the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>,
+ generating a list of tasks from it, and then executing those
+ tasks.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This section briefly introduces BitBake.
+ If you want more information on BitBake, see the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;'>BitBake User Manual</ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To see a list of the options BitBake supports, use either of
+ the following commands:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake -h
+ $ bitbake --help
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The most common usage for BitBake is
+ <filename>bitbake <replaceable>packagename</replaceable></filename>,
+ where <filename>packagename</filename> is the name of the
+ package you want to build (referred to as the "target").
+ The target often equates to the first part of a recipe's
+ filename (e.g. "foo" for a recipe named
+ <filename>foo_1.3.0-r0.bb</filename>).
+ So, to process the
+ <filename>matchbox-desktop_1.2.3.bb</filename> recipe file, you
+ might type the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
+ </literallayout>
+ Several different versions of
+ <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename> might exist.
+ BitBake chooses the one selected by the distribution
+ configuration.
+ You can get more details about how BitBake chooses between
+ different target versions and providers in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#bb-bitbake-preferences'>Preferences</ulink>"
+ section of the BitBake User Manual.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ BitBake also tries to execute any dependent tasks first.
+ So for example, before building
+ <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename>, BitBake would build a
+ cross compiler and <filename>glibc</filename> if they had not
+ already been built.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A useful BitBake option to consider is the
+ <filename>-k</filename> or <filename>--continue</filename>
+ option.
+ This option instructs BitBake to try and continue processing
+ the job as long as possible even after encountering an error.
+ When an error occurs, the target that failed and those that
+ depend on it cannot be remade.
+ However, when you use this option other dependencies can
+ still be processed.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='overview-components-recipes'>
+ <title>Recipes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Files that have the <filename>.bb</filename> suffix are
+ "recipes" files.
+ In general, a recipe contains information about a single piece
+ of software.
+ This information includes the location from which to download
+ the unaltered source, any source patches to be applied to that
+ source (if needed), which special configuration options to
+ apply, how to compile the source files, and how to package the
+ compiled output.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The term "package" is sometimes used to refer to recipes.
+ However, since the word "package" is used for the packaged
+ output from the OpenEmbedded build system (i.e.
+ <filename>.ipk</filename> or <filename>.deb</filename> files),
+ this document avoids using the term "package" when referring
+ to recipes.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='overview-components-classes'>
+ <title>Classes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Class files (<filename>.bbclass</filename>) contain information
+ that is useful to share between recipes files.
+ An example is the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-autotools'><filename>autotools</filename></ulink>
+ class, which contains common settings for any application that
+ Autotools uses.
+ The
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes'>Classes</ulink>"
+ chapter in the Yocto Project Reference Manual provides
+ details about classes and how to use them.
+ </para>

+ Layers are repositories that contain related metadata (i.e.
+ sets of instructions) that tell the OpenEmbedded build system how
+ to build a target.
+ Yocto Project's
+ <link linkend='the-yocto-project-layer-model'>layer model</link>
+ facilitates collaboration, sharing, customization, and reuse
+ within the Yocto Project development environment.
+ Layers logically separate information for your project.
+ For example, you can use a layer to hold all the configurations
+ for a particular piece of hardware.
+ Isolating hardware-specific configurations allows you to share
+ other metadata by using a different layer where that metadata
+ might be common across several pieces of hardware.

+ When you launch your build with the

+ reads the configuration files in a specific order:
+ <filename>site.conf</filename>, <filename>auto.conf</filename>,

+ rules as described in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#bitbake-user-manual-metadata'>Syntax and Operators</ulink>"
+ chapter of the BitBake User Manual.
+ Because the files are parsed in a specific order, variable
+ assignments for the same variable could be affected.
+ For example, if the <filename>auto.conf</filename> file and
+ the <filename>local.conf</filename> set
+ <replaceable>variable1</replaceable> to different values,
+ because the build system parses <filename>local.conf</filename>
+ after <filename>auto.conf</filename>,

+ On the other hand, for a project that is more dynamic or

+ The manifest file (<filename>.manifest</filename>) resides

+ After the root filesystem is built, processing begins on

+ on the image types specified in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_FSTYPES'><filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename></ulink>
+ variable.
+ The process turns everything into an image file or a set of
+ image files and can compress the root filesystem image to
+ reduce the overall size of the image.
+ The formats used for the root filesystem depend on the
+ <filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename> variable.
+ Compression depends on whether the formats support
+ compression.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As an example, a dynamically created task when creating a
+ particular image <replaceable>type</replaceable> would
+ take the following form:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ </literallayout>
+ So, if the <replaceable>type</replaceable> as specified by

+ The final task involved in image creation is the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-image-complete'><filename>do_image_complete</filename></ulink>

+ <title>Stamp Files and the Rerunning of Tasks</title>
+

+ For each task that completes successfully, BitBake writes a
+ stamp file into the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-STAMPS_DIR'><filename>STAMPS_DIR</filename></ulink>
+ directory.
+ The beginning of the stamp file's filename is determined
+ by the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-STAMP'><filename>STAMP</filename></ulink>
+ variable, and the end of the name consists of the task's
+ name and current
+ <link linkend='overview-checksums'>input checksum</link>.
+ <note>
+ This naming scheme assumes that
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#var-BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER'><filename>BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER</filename></ulink>
+ is "OEBasicHash", which is almost always the case in
+ current OpenEmbedded.
+ </note>
+ To determine if a task needs to be rerun, BitBake checks
+ if a stamp file with a matching input checksum exists
+ for the task.
+ If such a stamp file exists, the task's output is
+ assumed to exist and still be valid.
+ If the file does not exist, the task is rerun.
+ <note>
+ <para>The stamp mechanism is more general than the
+ shared state (sstate) cache mechanism described in the
+ "<link linkend='setscene-tasks-and-shared-state'>Setscene Tasks and Shared State</link>"
+ section.
+ BitBake avoids rerunning any task that has a valid
+ stamp file, not just tasks that can be accelerated
+ through the sstate cache.</para>
+
+ <para>However, you should realize that stamp files only
+ serve as a marker that some work has been done and that
+ these files do not record task output.
+ The actual task output would usually be somewhere in
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TMPDIR'><filename>TMPDIR</filename></ulink>
+ (e.g. in some recipe's
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></ulink>.)
+ What the sstate cache mechanism adds is a way to cache
+ task output that can then be shared between build
+ machines.</para>
+ </note>
+ Since <filename>STAMPS_DIR</filename> is usually a
+ subdirectory of <filename>TMPDIR</filename>, removing
+ <filename>TMPDIR</filename> will also remove
+ <filename>STAMPS_DIR</filename>, which means tasks will
+ properly be rerun to repopulate

+ If you want some task to always be considered "out of

+
+ <para>
+ The description of tasks so far assumes that BitBake needs

+ exist.
+ BitBake does support skipping tasks if prebuilt objects are
+ available.
+ These objects are usually made available in the form of a

+ <note>
+ For information on variables affecting sstate, see the

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The idea of a setscene task (i.e
+ <filename>do_</filename><replaceable>taskname</replaceable><filename>_setscene</filename>)
+ is a version of the task where
+ instead of building something, BitBake can skip to the end
+ result and simply place a set of files into specific
+ locations as needed.
+ In some cases, it makes sense to have a setscene task
+ variant (e.g. generating package files in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-package_write_deb'><filename>do_package_write_*</filename></ulink>
+ task).
+ In other cases, it does not make sense (e.g. a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-patch'><filename>do_patch</filename></ulink>
+ task or a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-unpack'><filename>do_unpack</filename></ulink>
+ task) since the work involved would be equal to or greater
+ than the underlying task.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In the build system, the common tasks that have setscene
+ variants are
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-package'><filename>do_package</filename></ulink>,
+ <filename>do_package_write_*</filename>,
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-deploy'><filename>do_deploy</filename></ulink>,

+ Notice that these tasks represent most of the tasks whose
+ output is an end result.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The build system has knowledge of the relationship between
+ these tasks and other preceding tasks.
+ For example, if BitBake runs
+ <filename>do_populate_sysroot_setscene</filename> for
+ something, it does not make sense to run any of the
+ <filename>do_fetch</filename>,
+ <filename>do_unpack</filename>,
+ <filename>do_patch</filename>,
+ <filename>do_configure</filename>,
+ <filename>do_compile</filename>, and
+ <filename>do_install</filename> tasks.
+ However, if <filename>do_package</filename> needs to be
+ run, BitBake needs to run those other tasks.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It becomes more complicated if everything can come
+ from an sstate cache because some objects are simply
+ not required at all.
+ For example, you do not need a compiler or native tools,
+ such as quilt, if nothing exists to compile or patch.
+ If the <filename>do_package_write_*</filename> packages
+ are available from sstate, BitBake does not need the
+ <filename>do_package</filename> task data.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To handle all these complexities, BitBake runs in two
+ phases.
+ The first is the "setscene" stage.
+ During this stage, BitBake first checks the sstate cache
+ for any targets it is planning to build.
+ BitBake does a fast check to see if the object exists
+ rather than a complete download.
+ If nothing exists, the second phase, which is the setscene
+ stage, completes and the main build proceeds.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If objects are found in the sstate cache, the build system
+ works backwards from the end targets specified by the user.
+ For example, if an image is being built, the build system
+ first looks for the packages needed for that image and the
+ tools needed to construct an image.
+ If those are available, the compiler is not needed.
+ Thus, the compiler is not even downloaded.
+ If something was found to be unavailable, or the
+ download or setscene task fails, the build system then
+ tries to install dependencies, such as the compiler, from
+ the cache.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The availability of objects in the sstate cache is
+ handled by the function specified by the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#var-BB_HASHCHECK_FUNCTION'><filename>BB_HASHCHECK_FUNCTION</filename></ulink>
+ variable and returns a list of available objects.
+ The function specified by the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#var-BB_SETSCENE_DEPVALID'><filename>BB_SETSCENE_DEPVALID</filename></ulink>
+ variable is the function that determines whether a given
+ dependency needs to be followed, and whether for any given

+ By design, the OpenEmbedded build system builds everything from

+ can determine that parts do not need to be rebuilt.
+ Fundamentally, building from scratch is attractive as it means all

+ can cause problems.
+ When developers hit problems, they typically default back to
+ building from scratch so they have a know state from the

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Building an image from scratch is both an advantage and a
+ disadvantage to the process.
+ As mentioned in the previous paragraph, building from scratch

+ The Yocto Project implements shared state code that supports
+ incremental builds.
+ The implementation of the shared state code answers the following

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For the first question, the build system detects changes in the
+ "inputs" to a given task by creating a checksum (or signature) of
+ the task's inputs.
+ If the checksum changes, the system assumes the inputs have changed
+ and the task needs to be rerun.
+ For the second question, the shared state (sstate) code tracks
+ which tasks add which output to the build process.
+ This means the output from a given task can be removed, upgraded
+ or otherwise manipulated.
+ The third question is partly addressed by the solution for the
+ second question assuming the build system can fetch the sstate
+ objects from remote locations and install them if they are deemed

+ <title>Overall Architecture</title>
+
+ <para>
+ When determining what parts of the system need to be built,
+ BitBake works on a per-task basis rather than a per-recipe
+ basis.
+ You might wonder why using a per-task basis is preferred over
+ a per-recipe basis.
+ To help explain, consider having the IPK packaging backend
+ enabled and then switching to DEB.
+ In this case, the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></ulink>
+ and
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-package'><filename>do_package</filename></ulink>
+ task outputs are still valid.
+ However, with a per-recipe approach, the build would not
+ include the <filename>.deb</filename> files.
+ Consequently, you would have to invalidate the whole build and
+ rerun it.
+ Rerunning everything is not the best solution.
+ Also, in this case, the core must be "taught" much about
+ specific tasks.
+ This methodology does not scale well and does not allow users
+ to easily add new tasks in layers or as external recipes
+ without touching the packaged-staging core.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='overview-checksums'>
+ <title>Checksums (Signatures)</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The shared state code uses a checksum, which is a unique
+ signature of a task's inputs, to determine if a task needs to
+ be run again.
+ Because it is a change in a task's inputs that triggers a
+ rerun, the process needs to detect all the inputs to a given
+ task.
+ For shell tasks, this turns out to be fairly easy because
+ the build process generates a "run" shell script for each task
+ and it is possible to create a checksum that gives you a good
+ idea of when the task's data changes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To complicate the problem, there are things that should not be
+ included in the checksum.
+ First, there is the actual specific build path of a given
+ task - the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></ulink>.
+ It does not matter if the work directory changes because it
+ should not affect the output for target packages.
+ Also, the build process has the objective of making native
+ or cross packages relocatable.
+ <note>
+ Both native and cross packages run on the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>build host</ulink>.
+ However, cross packages generate output for the target
+ architecture.
+ </note>
+ The checksum therefore needs to exclude
+ <filename>WORKDIR</filename>.
+ The simplistic approach for excluding the work directory is to
+ set <filename>WORKDIR</filename> to some fixed value and
+ create the checksum for the "run" script.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another problem results from the "run" scripts containing
+ functions that might or might not get called.
+ The incremental build solution contains code that figures out
+ dependencies between shell functions.
+ This code is used to prune the "run" scripts down to the
+ minimum set, thereby alleviating this problem and making the
+ "run" scripts much more readable as a bonus.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ So far, solutions for shell scripts exist.
+ What about Python tasks?
+ The same approach applies even though these tasks are more
+ difficult.
+ The process needs to figure out what variables a Python
+ function accesses and what functions it calls.
+ Again, the incremental build solution contains code that first
+ figures out the variable and function dependencies, and then
+ creates a checksum for the data used as the input to the task.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Like the <filename>WORKDIR</filename> case, situations exist
+ where dependencies should be ignored.
+ For these situations, you can instruct the build process to
+ ignore a dependency by using a line like the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PACKAGE_ARCHS[vardepsexclude] = "MACHINE"
+ </literallayout>
+ This example ensures that the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGE_ARCHS'><filename>PACKAGE_ARCHS</filename></ulink>
+ variable does not depend on the value of
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></ulink>,
+ even if it does reference it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Equally, there are cases where you need to add dependencies
+ BitBake is not able to find.
+ You can accomplish this by using a line like the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PACKAGE_ARCHS[vardeps] = "MACHINE"
+ </literallayout>
+ This example explicitly adds the <filename>MACHINE</filename>
+ variable as a dependency for
+ <filename>PACKAGE_ARCHS</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As an example, consider a case with in-line Python where
+ BitBake is not able to figure out dependencies.
+ When running in debug mode (i.e. using
+ <filename>-DDD</filename>), BitBake produces output when it
+ discovers something for which it cannot figure out dependencies.
+ The Yocto Project team has currently not managed to cover
+ those dependencies in detail and is aware of the need to fix
+ this situation.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Thus far, this section has limited discussion to the direct
+ inputs into a task.
+ Information based on direct inputs is referred to as the
+ "basehash" in the code.
+ However, the question of a task's indirect inputs still
+ exits - items already built and present in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.
+ The checksum (or signature) for a particular task needs to add
+ the hashes of all the tasks on which the particular task
+ depends.
+ Choosing which dependencies to add is a policy decision.
+ However, the effect is to generate a master checksum that
+ combines the basehash and the hashes of the task's
+ dependencies.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ At the code level, a variety of ways exist by which both the
+ basehash and the dependent task hashes can be influenced.
+ Within the BitBake configuration file, you can give BitBake
+ some extra information to help it construct the basehash.
+ The following statement effectively results in a list of
+ global variable dependency excludes (i.e. variables never
+ included in any checksum):
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST ?= "TMPDIR FILE PATH PWD BB_TASKHASH BBPATH DL_DIR \
+ SSTATE_DIR THISDIR FILESEXTRAPATHS FILE_DIRNAME HOME LOGNAME SHELL TERM \
+ USER FILESPATH STAGING_DIR_HOST STAGING_DIR_TARGET COREBASE PRSERV_HOST \
+ PRSERV_DUMPDIR PRSERV_DUMPFILE PRSERV_LOCKDOWN PARALLEL_MAKE \
+ CCACHE_DIR EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN CCACHE CCACHE_DISABLE LICENSE_PATH SDKPKGSUFFIX"
+ </literallayout>
+ The previous example excludes
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></ulink>
+ since that variable is actually constructed as a path within
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TMPDIR'><filename>TMPDIR</filename></ulink>,
+ which is on the whitelist.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The rules for deciding which hashes of dependent tasks to
+ include through dependency chains are more complex and are
+ generally accomplished with a Python function.
+ The code in <filename>meta/lib/oe/sstatesig.py</filename> shows
+ two examples of this and also illustrates how you can insert
+ your own policy into the system if so desired.
+ This file defines the two basic signature generators
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#oe-core'>OE-Core</ulink>
+ uses: "OEBasic" and "OEBasicHash".
+ By default, a dummy "noop" signature handler is enabled
+ in BitBake.
+ This means that behavior is unchanged from previous versions.
+ OE-Core uses the "OEBasicHash" signature handler by default
+ through this setting in the <filename>bitbake.conf</filename>
+ file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER ?= "OEBasicHash"
+ </literallayout>
+ The "OEBasicHash" <filename>BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER</filename>
+ is the same as the "OEBasic" version but adds the task hash to
+ the
+ <link linkend='stamp-files-and-the-rerunning-of-tasks'>stamp files</link>.
+ This results in any metadata change that changes the task hash,
+ automatically causing the task to be run again.
+ This removes the need to bump
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PR'><filename>PR</filename></ulink>
+ values, and changes to metadata automatically ripple across
+ the build.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is also worth noting that the end result of these
+ signature generators is to make some dependency and hash
+ information available to the build.
+ This information includes:

+ Checksums and dependencies, as discussed in the previous

+
+ <para>
+ The
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-sstate'><filename>sstate</filename></ulink>
+ class is a relatively generic implementation of how to

+ In other words, the build process does not need to worry about

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Two types of output exist.
+ One type is just about creating a directory in

+ A good example is the output of either

+ or

+ to run as root.
+ However, this method is cumbersome and has security issues.
+ The approach that is actually used is to run tasks that benefit

+ Pseudo overrides system calls by using the environment variable

+ of running as root.
+ To keep track of "fake" file ownership and permissions resulting
+ from operations that require root permissions, Pseudo uses
+ an SQLite 3 database.
+ This database is stored in
+ <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></ulink><filename>}/pseudo/files.db</filename>
+ for individual recipes.
+ Storing the database in a file as opposed to in memory
+ gives persistence between tasks and builds, which is not
+ accomplished using fakeroot.
+ <note><title>Caution</title>
+ If you add your own task that manipulates the same files or
+ directories as a fakeroot task, then that task also needs to
+ run under fakeroot.
+ Otherwise, the task cannot run root-only operations, and

+<para>
+ This chapter takes a look at the Yocto Project development
+ environment.
+ The chapter provides Yocto Project Development environment concepts that
+ help you understand how work is accomplished in an open source environment,
+ which is very different as compared to work accomplished in a closed,
+ proprietary environment.

+ <title>Open Source Philosophy</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Open source philosophy is characterized by software development
+ directed by peer production and collaboration through an active
+ community of developers.
+ Contrast this to the more standard centralized development models
+ used by commercial software companies where a finite set of developers
+ produces a product for sale using a defined set of procedures that
+ ultimately result in an end product whose architecture and source
+ material are closed to the public.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Open source projects conceptually have differing concurrent agendas,
+ approaches, and production.
+ These facets of the development process can come from anyone in the
+ public (community) who has a stake in the software project.
+ The open source environment contains new copyright, licensing, domain,
+ and consumer issues that differ from the more traditional development
+ environment.
+ In an open source environment, the end product, source material,
+ and documentation are all available to the public at no cost.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A benchmark example of an open source project is the Linux kernel,
+ which was initially conceived and created by Finnish computer science
+ student Linus Torvalds in 1991.
+ Conversely, a good example of a non-open source project is the
+ <trademark class='registered'>Windows</trademark> family of operating
+ systems developed by
+ <trademark class='registered'>Microsoft</trademark> Corporation.

+ <title>The Development Host</title>
+
+ <para>
+ A development host or
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>build host</ulink>
+ is key to using the Yocto Project.
+ Because the goal of the Yocto Project is to develop images or
+ applications that run on embedded hardware, development of those
+ images and applications generally takes place on a system not
+ intended to run the software - the development host.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You need to set up a development host in order to use it with the
+ Yocto Project.
+ Most find that it is best to have a native Linux machine function as
+ the development host.
+ However, it is possible to use a system that does not run Linux
+ as its operating system as your development host.
+ When you have a Mac or Windows-based system, you can set it up
+ as the development host by using
+ <ulink url='https://github.com/crops/poky-container'>CROPS</ulink>,
+ which leverages
+ <ulink url='https://www.docker.com/'>Docker Containers</ulink>.
+ Once you take the steps to set up a CROPS machine, you effectively
+ have access to a shell environment that is similar to what you see
+ when using a Linux-based development host.
+ For the steps needed to set up a system using CROPS, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#setting-up-to-use-crops'>Setting Up to Use CROss PlatformS (CROPS)</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If your development host is going to be a system that runs a Linux
+ distribution, steps still exist that you must take to prepare the
+ system for use with the Yocto Project.
+ You need to be sure that the Linux distribution on the system is
+ one that supports the Yocto Project.
+ You also need to be sure that the correct set of host packages are
+ installed that allow development using the Yocto Project.
+ For the steps needed to set up a development host that runs Linux,
+ see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#setting-up-a-native-linux-host'>Setting Up a Native Linux Host</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.

+ Developing using the Yocto Project likely requires the use of

+ Git is a free, open source distributed version control system
+ used as part of many collaborative design environments.
+ This section provides workflow concepts using the Yocto Project and
+ Git.
+ In particular, the information covers basic practices that describe
+ roles and actions in a collaborative development environment.
+ <note>

+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project files are maintained using Git in "branches"
+ whose Git histories track every change and whose structures
+ provide branches for all diverging functionality.
+ Although there is no need to use Git, many open source projects do so.
+ <para>
+
+ </para>
+ For the Yocto Project, a key individual called the "maintainer" is
+ responsible for the integrity of the "master" branch of a given Git
+ repository.
+ The "master" branch is the "upstream" repository from which final or
+ most recent builds of a project occur.
+ The maintainer is responsible for accepting changes from other
+ developers and for organizing the underlying branch structure to
+ reflect release strategies and so forth.

+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project <filename>poky</filename> Git repository also has an

+ You can see all the branches in this repository using the web interface
+ of the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'>Source Repositories</ulink> organized
+ within the "Poky Support" area.
+ These branches hold changes (commits) to the project that have been
+ submitted or committed by the Yocto Project development team and by
+ community members who contribute to the project.
+ The maintainer determines if the changes are qualified to be moved
+ from the "contrib" branches into the "master" branch of the Git
+ repository.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Developers (including contributing community members) create and
+ maintain cloned repositories of upstream branches.
+ The cloned repositories are local to their development platforms and
+ are used to develop changes.
+ When a developer is satisfied with a particular feature or change,
+ they "push" the change to the appropriate "contrib" repository.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Developers are responsible for keeping their local repository
+ up-to-date with whatever upstream branch they are working against.
+ They are also responsible for straightening out any conflicts that
+ might arise within files that are being worked on simultaneously by
+ more than one person.
+ All this work is done locally on the development host before
+ anything is pushed to a "contrib" area and examined at the maintainer's
+ level.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A somewhat formal method exists by which developers commit changes
+ and push them into the "contrib" area and subsequently request that
+ the maintainer include them into an upstream branch.
+ This process is called "submitting a patch" or "submitting a change."
+ For information on submitting patches and changes, see the

+ In summary, a single point of entry
+ exists for changes into a "master" or development branch of the
+ Git repository, which is controlled by the project's maintainer.
+ And, a set of developers exist who independently develop, test, and

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Make Small Changes:</emphasis>
+ It is best to keep the changes you commit small as compared to
+ bundling many disparate changes into a single commit.
+ This practice not only keeps things manageable but also allows
+ the maintainer to more easily include or refuse changes.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Make Complete Changes:</emphasis>
+ It is also good practice to leave the repository in a
+ state that allows you to still successfully build your project.
+ In other words, do not commit half of a feature,
+ then add the other half as a separate, later commit.
+ Each commit should take you from one buildable project state
+ to another buildable state.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Use Branches Liberally:</emphasis>
+ It is very easy to create, use, and delete local branches in
+ your working Git repository on the development host.
+ You can name these branches anything you like.
+ It is helpful to give them names associated with the particular
+ feature or change on which you are working.
+ Once you are done with a feature or change and have merged it
+ into your local master branch, simply discard the temporary
+ branch.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Merge Changes:</emphasis>
+ The <filename>git merge</filename> command allows you to take
+ the changes from one branch and fold them into another branch.
+ This process is especially helpful when more than a single
+ developer might be working on different parts of the same
+ feature.
+ Merging changes also automatically identifies any collisions
+ or "conflicts" that might happen as a result of the same lines
+ of code being altered by two different developers.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Manage Branches:</emphasis>
+ Because branches are easy to use, you should use a system
+ where branches indicate varying levels of code readiness.
+ For example, you can have a "work" branch to develop in, a
+ "test" branch where the code or change is tested, a "stage"
+ branch where changes are ready to be committed, and so forth.
+ As your project develops, you can merge code across the
+ branches to reflect ever-increasing stable states of the
+ development.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Use Push and Pull:</emphasis>
+ The push-pull workflow is based on the concept of developers
+ "pushing" local commits to a remote repository, which is
+ usually a contribution repository.
+ This workflow is also based on developers "pulling" known
+ states of the project down into their local development
+ repositories.
+ The workflow easily allows you to pull changes submitted by
+ other developers from the upstream repository into your
+ work area ensuring that you have the most recent software
+ on which to develop.
+ The Yocto Project has two scripts named
+ <filename>create-pull-request</filename> and
+ <filename>send-pull-request</filename> that ship with the
+ release to facilitate this workflow.
+ You can find these scripts in the <filename>scripts</filename>
+ folder of the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
+ For information on how to use these scripts, see the

+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Patch Workflow:</emphasis>
+ This workflow allows you to notify the maintainer through an
+ email that you have a change (or patch) you would like
+ considered for the "master" branch of the Git repository.
+ To send this type of change, you format the patch and then
+ send the email using the Git commands
+ <filename>git format-patch</filename> and
+ <filename>git send-email</filename>.
+ For information on how to use these scripts, see the

+ section, the Yocto Project maintains source repositories at
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'></ulink>.
+ If you look at this web-interface of the repositories, each item

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Git repositories use branching techniques that track content
+ change (not files) within a project (e.g. a new feature or updated
+ documentation).
+ Creating a tree-like structure based on project divergence allows
+ for excellent historical information over the life of a project.
+ This methodology also allows for an environment from which you can
+ do lots of local experimentation on projects as you develop
+ changes or new features.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A Git repository represents all development efforts for a given
+ project.
+ For example, the Git repository <filename>poky</filename> contains
+ all changes and developments for that repository over the course
+ of its entire life.
+ That means that all changes that make up all releases are captured.
+ The repository maintains a complete history of changes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can create a local copy of any repository by "cloning" it
+ with the <filename>git clone</filename> command.
+ When you clone a Git repository, you end up with an identical
+ copy of the repository on your development system.
+ Once you have a local copy of a repository, you can take steps to
+ develop locally.
+ For examples on how to clone Git repositories, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#locating-yocto-project-source-files'>Locating Yocto Project Source Files</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is important to understand that Git tracks content change and
+ not files.
+ Git uses "branches" to organize different development efforts.
+ For example, the <filename>poky</filename> repository has
+ several branches that include the current "&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;"
+ branch, the "master" branch, and many branches for past
+ Yocto Project releases.
+ You can see all the branches by going to
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi/poky/'></ulink> and
+ clicking on the
+ <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi/poky/refs/heads'>[...]</ulink></filename>
+ link beneath the "Branch" heading.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Each of these branches represents a specific area of development.
+ The "master" branch represents the current or most recent
+ development.
+ All other branches represent offshoots of the "master" branch.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you create a local copy of a Git repository, the copy has
+ the same set of branches as the original.
+ This means you can use Git to create a local working area
+ (also called a branch) that tracks a specific development branch
+ from the upstream source Git repository.
+ in other words, you can define your local Git environment to
+ work on any development branch in the repository.
+ To help illustrate, consider the following example Git commands:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ cd ~
+ $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
+ $ cd poky
+ $ git checkout -b &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP; origin/&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;
+ </literallayout>
+ In the previous example after moving to the home directory, the
+ <filename>git clone</filename> command creates a
+ local copy of the upstream <filename>poky</filename> Git repository.
+ By default, Git checks out the "master" branch for your work.
+ After changing the working directory to the new local repository
+ (i.e. <filename>poky</filename>), the
+ <filename>git checkout</filename> command creates
+ and checks out a local branch named "&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;", which
+ tracks the upstream "origin/&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;" branch.
+ Changes you make while in this branch would ultimately affect
+ the upstream "&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;" branch of the
+ <filename>poky</filename> repository.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is important to understand that when you create and checkout a
+ local working branch based on a branch name,
+ your local environment matches the "tip" of that particular
+ development branch at the time you created your local branch,
+ which could be different from the files in the "master" branch
+ of the upstream repository.
+ In other words, creating and checking out a local branch based on
+ the "&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;" branch name is not the same as
+ checking out the "master" branch in the repository.
+ Keep reading to see how you create a local snapshot of a Yocto
+ Project Release.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Git uses "tags" to mark specific changes in a repository branch
+ structure.
+ Typically, a tag is used to mark a special point such as the final
+ change (or commit) before a project is released.
+ You can see the tags used with the <filename>poky</filename> Git
+ repository by going to
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi/poky/'></ulink> and
+ clicking on the
+ <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi/poky/refs/tags'>[...]</ulink></filename>
+ link beneath the "Tag" heading.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Some key tags for the <filename>poky</filename> repository are
+ <filename>jethro-14.0.3</filename>,
+ <filename>morty-16.0.1</filename>,
+ <filename>pyro-17.0.0</filename>, and
+ <filename>&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-&POKYVERSION;</filename>.
+ These tags represent Yocto Project releases.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you create a local copy of the Git repository, you also
+ have access to all the tags in the upstream repository.
+ Similar to branches, you can create and checkout a local working
+ Git branch based on a tag name.
+ When you do this, you get a snapshot of the Git repository that
+ reflects the state of the files when the change was made associated
+ with that tag.
+ The most common use is to checkout a working branch that matches
+ a specific Yocto Project release.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ cd ~
+ $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
+ $ cd poky
+ $ git fetch --tags
+ $ git checkout tags/rocko-18.0.0 -b my_rocko-18.0.0
+ </literallayout>
+ In this example, the name of the top-level directory of your
+ local Yocto Project repository is <filename>poky</filename>.
+ After moving to the <filename>poky</filename> directory, the
+ <filename>git fetch</filename> command makes all the upstream
+ tags available locally in your repository.
+ Finally, the <filename>git checkout</filename> command
+ creates and checks out a branch named "my-rocko-18.0.0" that is
+ based on the upstream branch whose "HEAD" matches the
+ commit in the repository associated with the "rocko-18.0.0" tag.
+ The files in your repository now exactly match that particular
+ Yocto Project release as it is tagged in the upstream Git
+ repository.
+ It is important to understand that when you create and
+ checkout a local working branch based on a tag, your environment
+ matches a specific point in time and not the entire development
+ branch (i.e. from the "tip" of the branch backwards).

+ Combines or adds changes from one

+ When you create a local Git repository, the default branch
+ is named "master".
+ A typical workflow is to create a temporary branch that is
+ based off "master" that you would use for isolated work.
+ You would make your changes in that isolated branch,
+ stage and commit them locally, switch to the "master"
+ branch, and then use the <filename>git merge</filename>
+ command to apply the changes from your isolated branch

+ In general, the Yocto Project is broadly licensed under the

+ The base list of licenses used by the build process is a combination

+
+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project
+ that helps developers create custom Linux-based systems that are
+ designed for embedded products regardless of the product's hardware
+ architecture.
+ Yocto Project provides a flexible toolset and a development
+ environment that allows embedded device developers across the
+ world to collaborate through shared technologies, software stacks,
+ configurations, and best practices used to create these tailored
+ Linux images.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Thousands of developers worldwide have discovered that Yocto
+ Project provides advantages in both systems and applications
+ development, archival and management benefits, and customizations
+ used for speed, footprint, and memory utilization.
+ The project is a standard when it comes to delivering embedded
+ software stacks.
+ The project allows software customizations and build interchange
+ for multiple hardware platforms as well as software stacks that
+ can be maintained and scaled.

+ <title>Features</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The following list describes features and advantages of the
+ Yocto Project:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Widely Adopted Across the Industry:</emphasis>
+ Semiconductor, operating system, software, and
+ service vendors exist whose products and services
+ adopt and support the Yocto Project.
+ For a look at the Yocto Project community and
+ the companies involved with the Yocto
+ Project, see the "COMMUNITY" and "ECOSYSTEM" tabs
+ on the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;'>Yocto Project</ulink>
+ home page.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Architecture Agnostic:</emphasis>
+ Yocto Project supports Intel, ARM, MIPS, AMD, PPC
+ and other architectures.
+ Most ODMs, OSVs, and chip vendors create and supply
+ BSPs that support their hardware.
+ If you have custom silicon, you can create a BSP
+ that supports that architecture.</para>
+
+ <para>Aside from lots of architecture support, the
+ Yocto Project fully supports a wide range of device
+ emulation through the Quick EMUlator (QEMU).
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Images and Code Transfer Easily:</emphasis>
+ Yocto Project output can easily move between
+ architectures without moving to new development
+ environments.
+ Additionally, if you have used the Yocto Project to
+ create an image or application and you find yourself
+ not able to support it, commercial Linux vendors such
+ as Wind River, Mentor Graphics, Timesys, and ENEA could
+ take it and provide ongoing support.
+ These vendors have offerings that are built using
+ the Yocto Project.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Flexibility:</emphasis>
+ Corporations use the Yocto Project many different ways.
+ One example is to create an internal Linux distribution
+ as a code base the corporation can use across multiple
+ product groups.
+ Through customization and layering, a project group
+ can leverage the base Linux distribution to create
+ a distribution that works for their product needs.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Ideal for Constrained Embedded and IoT devices:</emphasis>
+ Unlike a full Linux distribution, you can use the
+ Yocto Project to create exactly what you need for
+ embedded devices.
+ You only add the feature support or packages that you
+ absolutely need for the device.
+ For devices that have display hardware, you can use
+ available system components such as X11, GTK+, Qt,
+ Clutter, and SDL (among others) to create a rich user
+ experience.
+ For devices that do not have a display or where you
+ want to use alternative UI frameworks, you can choose
+ to not install these components.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Comprehensive Toolchain Capabilities:</emphasis>
+ Toolchains for supported architectures satisfy most
+ use cases.
+ However, if your hardware supports features that are
+ not part of a standard toolchain, you can easily
+ customize that toolchain through specification of
+ platform-specific tuning parameters.
+ And, should you need to use a third-party toolchain,
+ mechanisms built into the Yocto Project allow for that.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Mechanism Rules Over Policy:</emphasis>
+ Focusing on mechanism rather than policy ensures that
+ you are free to set policies based on the needs of your
+ design instead of adopting decisions enforced by some
+ system software provider.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Uses a Layer Model:</emphasis>
+ The Yocto Project
+ <link linkend='the-yocto-project-layer-model'>layer infrastructure</link>
+ groups related functionality into separate bundles.
+ You can incrementally add these grouped functionalities
+ to your project as needed.
+ Using layers to isolate and group functionality
+ reduces project complexity and redundancy, allows you
+ to easily extend the system, make customizations,
+ and keep functionality organized.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Supports Partial Builds:</emphasis>
+ You can build and rebuild individual packages as
+ needed.
+ Yocto Project accomplishes this through its
+ <link linkend='shared-state-cache'>shared-state cache</link>
+ (sstate) scheme.
+ Being able to build and debug components individually
+ eases project development.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Releases According to a Strict Schedule:</emphasis>
+ Major releases occur on a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-release-process'>six-month cycle</ulink>
+ predictably in October and April.
+ The most recent two releases support point releases
+ to address common vulnerabilities and exposures.
+ This predictability is crucial for projects based on
+ the Yocto Project and allows development teams to
+ plan activities.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Rich Ecosystem of Individuals and Organizations:</emphasis>
+ For open source projects, the value of community is
+ very important.
+ Support forums, expertise, and active developers who
+ continue to push the Yocto Project forward are readily
+ available.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Binary Reproducibility:</emphasis>
+ The Yocto Project allows you to be very specific about
+ dependencies and achieves very high percentages of
+ binary reproducibility (e.g. 99.8% for
+ <filename>core-image-minimal</filename>).
+ When distributions are not specific about which
+ packages are pulled in and in what order to support
+ dependencies, other build systems can arbitrarily
+ include packages.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>License Manifest:</emphasis>
+ The Yocto Project provides a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#maintaining-open-source-license-compliance-during-your-products-lifecycle'>license manifest</ulink>
+ for review by people who need to track the use of open
+ source licenses (e.g.legal teams).

+ <title>Challenges</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The following list presents challenges you might encounter
+ when developing using the Yocto Project:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Steep Learning Curve:</emphasis>
+ The Yocto Project has a steep learning curve and has
+ many different ways to accomplish similar tasks.
+ It can be difficult to choose how to proceed when
+ varying methods exist by which to accomplish a given
+ task.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Understanding What Changes You Need to Make
+ For Your Design Requires Some Research:</emphasis>
+ Beyond the simple tutorial stage, understanding what
+ changes need to be made for your particular design
+ can require a significant amount of research and
+ investigation.
+ For information that helps you transition from
+ trying out the Yocto Project to using it for your
+ project, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_URL;/what-i-wish-id-known/'>What I wish I'd Known</ulink>"
+ and
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_URL;/transitioning-to-a-custom-environment/'>Transitioning to a Custom Environment for Systems Development</ulink>"
+ documents on the Yocto Project website.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Project Workflow Could Be Confusing:</emphasis>
+ The
+ <link linkend='overview-development-environment'>Yocto Project workflow</link>
+ could be confusing if you are used to traditional
+ desktop and server software development.
+ In a desktop development environment, mechanisms exist
+ to easily pull and install new packages, which are
+ typically pre-compiled binaries from servers accessible
+ over the Internet.
+ Using the Yocto Project, you must modify your
+ configuration and rebuild to add additional packages.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Working in a Cross-Build Environment Can
+ Feel Unfamiliar:</emphasis>
+ When developing code to run on a target, compilation,
+ execution, and testing done on the actual target
+ can be faster than running a BitBake build on a
+ development host and then deploying binaries to the
+ target for test.
+ While the Yocto Project does support development tools
+ on the target, the additional step of integrating your
+ changes back into the Yocto Project build environment
+ would be required.
+ Yocto Project supports an intermediate approach that
+ involves making changes on the development system
+ within the BitBake environment and then deploying only
+ the updated packages to the target.</para>
+
+ <para>The Yocto Project
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>
+ produces packages in standard formats (i.e. RPM,
+ DEB, IPK, and TAR).
+ You can deploy these packages into the running system
+ on the target by using utilities on the target such
+ as <filename>rpm</filename> or
+ <filename>ipk</filename>.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Initial Build Times Can be Significant:</emphasis>
+ Long initial build times are unfortunately unavoidable
+ due to the large number of packages initially built
+ from scratch for a fully functioning Linux system.
+ Once that initial build is completed, however, the
+ shared-state (sstate) cache mechanism Yocto Project
+ uses keeps the system from rebuilding packages that
+ have not been "touched" since the last build.
+ The sstate mechanism significantly reduces times
+ for successive builds.
+ </para></listitem>

+ </section>
+
+ <section id='the-yocto-project-layer-model'>
+ <title>The Yocto Project Layer Model</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project's "Layer Model" is a development model for
+ embedded and IoT Linux creation that distinguishes the
+ Yocto Project from other simple build systems.
+ The Layer Model simultaneously supports collaboration and
+ customization.
+ Layers are repositories that contain related sets of instructions
+ that tell the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>
+ what to do.
+ You can collaborate, share, and reuse layers.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Layers can contain changes to previous instructions or settings
+ at any time.
+ This powerful override capability is what allows you to customize
+ previously supplied collaborative or community layers to suit your
+ product requirements.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You use different layers to logically separate information in your
+ build.
+ As an example, you could have BSP, GUI, distro configuration,
+ middleware, or application layers.
+ Putting your entire build into one layer limits and complicates
+ future customization and reuse.
+ Isolating information into layers, on the other hand, helps
+ simplify future customizations and reuse.
+ You might find it tempting to keep everything in one layer when
+ working on a single project.
+ However, the more modular your Metadata, the easier
+ it is to cope with future changes.

+ "YP Compatible" is applied to appropriate products and

+ layers, and related open-source projects, allowing the

+ assets.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To illustrate how layers are used to keep things modular, consider
+ machine customizations.
+ These types of customizations typically reside in a special layer,
+ rather than a general layer, called a BSP Layer.
+ Furthermore, the machine customizations should be isolated from
+ recipes and Metadata that support a new GUI environment,
+ for example.
+ This situation gives you a couple of layers: one for the machine
+ configurations, and one for the GUI environment.
+ It is important to understand, however, that the BSP layer can
+ still make machine-specific additions to recipes within the GUI
+ environment layer without polluting the GUI layer itself
+ with those machine-specific changes.
+ You can accomplish this through a recipe that is a BitBake append
+ (<filename>.bbappend</filename>) file, which is described later
+ in this section.
+ <note>
+ For general information on BSP layer structure, see the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;'>Yocto Project Board Support Packages (BSP) Developer's Guide</ulink>.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+ contains both general layers and BSP layers right out of the box.
+ You can easily identify layers that ship with a Yocto Project
+ release in the Source Directory by their names.
+ Layers typically have names that begin with the string
+ <filename>meta-</filename>.
+ <note>
+ It is not a requirement that a layer name begin with the
+ prefix <filename>meta-</filename>, but it is a commonly
+ accepted standard in the Yocto Project community.
+ </note>
+ For example, if you were to examine the
+ <ulink url='https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/'>tree view</ulink>
+ of the <filename>poky</filename> repository, you will see several
+ layers: <filename>meta</filename>,
+ <filename>meta-skeleton</filename>,
+ <filename>meta-selftest</filename>,
+ <filename>meta-poky</filename>, and
+ <filename>meta-yocto-bsp</filename>.
+ Each of these repositories represents a distinct layer.

+
+ <para>The dynamic linker determines standard load

+ <title>Some Basic Terms</title>
+
+ <para>
+ It helps to understand some basic fundamental terms when
+ learning the Yocto Project.
+ Although a list of terms exists in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-terms'>Yocto Project Terms</ulink>"
+ section of the Yocto Project Reference Manual, this section
+ provides the definitions of some terms helpful for getting started:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Configuration Files:</emphasis>
+ Files that hold global definitions of variables,
+ user-defined variables, and hardware configuration
+ information.
+ These files tell the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>Open-Embedded build system</ulink>
+ what to build and what to put into the image to support a
+ particular platform.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK):</emphasis>
+ A custom SDK for application developers.
+ This eSDK allows developers to incorporate their library
+ and programming changes back into the image to make
+ their code available to other application developers.
+ For information on the eSDK, see the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;'>Yocto Project Application Development and the Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK)</ulink>
+ manual.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Layer:</emphasis>
+ A collection of related recipes.
+ Layers allow you to consolidate related metadata to
+ customize your build.
+ Layers also isolate information used when building
+ for multiple architectures.
+ Layers are hierarchical in their ability to override
+ previous specifications.
+ You can include any number of available layers from the
+ Yocto Project and customize the build by adding your
+ layers after them.
+ You can search the Layer Index for layers used within
+ Yocto Project.</para>
+
+ <para>For more detailed information on layers, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#understanding-and-creating-layers'>Understanding and Creating Layers</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+ For a discussion specifically on BSP Layers, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;#bsp-layers'>BSP Layers</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Board Support Packages (BSP)
+ Developer's Guide.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Metadata:</emphasis>
+ A key element of the Yocto Project is the Metadata that
+ is used to construct a Linux distribution and is contained
+ in the files that the OpenEmbedded build system parses
+ when building an image.
+ In general, Metadata includes recipes, configuration
+ files, and other information that refers to the build
+ instructions themselves, as well as the data used to
+ control what things get built and the effects of the
+ build.
+ Metadata also includes commands and data used to
+ indicate what versions of software are used, from
+ where they are obtained, and changes or additions to the
+ software itself (patches or auxiliary files) that
+ are used to fix bugs or customize the software for use
+ in a particular situation.
+ OpenEmbedded-Core is an important set of validated
+ metadata.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para id='gs-term-openembedded-build-system'>
+ <emphasis>OpenEmbedded Build System:</emphasis>
+ The terms "BitBake" and "build system" are sometimes
+ used for the OpenEmbedded Build System.</para>
+
+ <para>BitBake is a task scheduler and execution engine
+ that parses instructions (i.e. recipes) and configuration
+ data.
+ After a parsing phase, BitBake creates a dependency tree
+ to order the compilation, schedules the compilation of
+ the included code, and finally executes the building
+ of the specified custom Linux image (distribution).
+ BitBake is similar to the <filename>make</filename>
+ tool.</para>
+
+ <para>During a build process, the build system tracks
+ dependencies and performs a native or cross-compilation
+ of the package.
+ As a first step in a cross-build setup, the framework
+ attempts to create a cross-compiler toolchain
+ (i.e. Extensible SDK) suited for the target platform.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>OpenEmbedded-Core (OE-Core):</emphasis>
+ OE-Core is metadata comprised of foundation recipes,
+ classes, and associated files that are meant to be
+ common among many different OpenEmbedded-derived systems,
+ including the Yocto Project.
+ OE-Core is a curated subset of an original repository
+ developed by the OpenEmbedded community that has been
+ pared down into a smaller, core set of continuously
+ validated recipes.
+ The result is a tightly controlled and quality-assured
+ core set of recipes.</para>
+
+ <para>You can see the Metadata in the
+ <filename>meta</filename> directory of the Yocto Project
+ <ulink url='http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi'>Source Repositories</ulink>.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Packages:</emphasis>
+ In the context of the Yocto Project, this term refers to a
+ recipe's packaged output produced by BitBake (i.e. a
+ "baked recipe").
+ A package is generally the compiled binaries produced from the
+ recipe's sources.
+ You "bake" something by running it through BitBake.</para>
+
+ <para>It is worth noting that the term "package" can,
+ in general, have subtle meanings.
+ For example, the packages referred to in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#required-packages-for-the-build-host'>Required Packages for the Build Host</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual are compiled
+ binaries that, when installed, add functionality to your
+ Linux distribution.</para>
+
+ <para>Another point worth noting is that historically within
+ the Yocto Project, recipes were referred to as packages - thus,
+ the existence of several BitBake variables that are seemingly
+ mis-named,
+ (e.g. <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PR'><filename>PR</filename></ulink>,
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></ulink>,
+ and
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PE'><filename>PE</filename></ulink>).
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Poky:</emphasis>
+ Poky is a reference embedded distribution and a reference
+ test configuration.
+ Poky provides the following:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ A base-level functional distro used to illustrate
+ how to customize a distribution.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ A means by which to test the Yocto Project
+ components (i.e. Poky is used to validate
+ the Yocto Project).
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ A vehicle through which you can download
+ the Yocto Project.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ Poky is not a product level distro.
+ Rather, it is a good starting point for customization.
+ <note>
+ Poky is an integration layer on top of OE-Core.
+ </note>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Recipe:</emphasis>
+ The most common form of metadata.
+ A recipe contains a list of settings and tasks
+ (i.e. instructions) for building packages that are then
+ used to build the binary image.
+ A recipe describes where you get source code and which
+ patches to apply.
+ Recipes describe dependencies for libraries or for other
+ recipes as well as configuration and compilation options.
+ Related recipes are consolidated into a layer.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>

+ <title>Slow Write Speed on Live Images</title>
+
+ <para>
+ In one of our previous releases (denzil), users noticed that booting
+ off of a live image and writing to disk was noticeably slower.
+ This included the boot itself, especially the first one, since first
+ boots tend to do a significant amount of writing due to certain
+ post-install scripts.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The problem (and solution) was discovered by using the Yocto tracing
+ tools, in this case 'perf stat', 'perf script', 'perf record'
+ and 'perf report'.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ See all the unvarnished details of how this bug was diagnosed and
+ solved here: Yocto Bug #3049

+ <section id='profile-intro'>
+ <title>Introduction</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Yocto bundles a number of tracing and profiling tools - this 'HOWTO'
+ describes their basic usage and shows by example how to make use
+ of them to examine application and system behavior.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The tools presented are for the most part completely open-ended and
+ have quite good and/or extensive documentation of their own which
+ can be used to solve just about any problem you might come across
+ in Linux.
+ Each section that describes a particular tool has links to that
+ tool's documentation and website.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The purpose of this 'HOWTO' is to present a set of common and
+ generally useful tracing and profiling idioms along with their
+ application (as appropriate) to each tool, in the context of a
+ general-purpose 'drill-down' methodology that can be applied
+ to solving a large number (90%?) of problems.
+ For help with more advanced usages and problems, please see
+ the documentation and/or websites listed for each tool.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The final section of this 'HOWTO' is a collection of real-world
+ examples which we'll be continually adding to as we solve more
+ problems using the tools - feel free to add your own examples
+ to the list!
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='profile-manual-general-setup'>
+ <title>General Setup</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Most of the tools are available only in 'sdk' images or in images
+ built after adding 'tools-profile' to your local.conf.
+ So, in order to be able to access all of the tools described here,
+ please first build and boot an 'sdk' image e.g.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake core-image-sato-sdk
+ </literallayout>
+ or alternatively by adding 'tools-profile' to the
+ EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line in your local.conf:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-profile"
+ </literallayout>
+ If you use the 'tools-profile' method, you don't need to build an
+ sdk image - the tracing and profiling tools will be included in
+ non-sdk images as well e.g.:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake core-image-sato
+ </literallayout>
+ <note><para>
+ By default, the Yocto build system strips symbols from the
+ binaries it packages, which makes it difficult to use some
+ of the tools.
+ </para><para>You can prevent that by setting the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP'><filename>INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP</filename></ulink>
+ variable to "1" in your
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> when you build the image:
+ </para>
+ </note>
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1"
+ </literallayout>
+ The above setting will noticeably increase the size of your image.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you've already built a stripped image, you can generate
+ debug packages (xxx-dbg) which you can manually install as
+ needed.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To generate debug info for packages, you can add dbg-pkgs to
+ EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES in local.conf. For example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-profile dbg-pkgs"
+ </literallayout>
+ Additionally, in order to generate the right type of
+ debuginfo, we also need to set
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE'><filename>PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE</filename></ulink>
+ in the <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE = 'debug-file-directory'
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+ </section>

+<title>Basic Usage (with examples) for each of the Yocto Tracing Tools</title>
+
+<para>
+ This chapter presents basic usage examples for each of the tracing
+ tools.
+</para>
+
+<section id='profile-manual-perf'>
+ <title>perf</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The 'perf' tool is the profiling and tracing tool that comes
+ bundled with the Linux kernel.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Don't let the fact that it's part of the kernel fool you into thinking
+ that it's only for tracing and profiling the kernel - you can indeed
+ use it to trace and profile just the kernel, but you can also use it
+ to profile specific applications separately (with or without kernel
+ context), and you can also use it to trace and profile the kernel
+ and all applications on the system simultaneously to gain a system-wide
+ view of what's going on.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In many ways, perf aims to be a superset of all the tracing and profiling
+ tools available in Linux today, including all the other tools covered
+ in this HOWTO. The past couple of years have seen perf subsume a lot
+ of the functionality of those other tools and, at the same time, those
+ other tools have removed large portions of their previous functionality
+ and replaced it with calls to the equivalent functionality now
+ implemented by the perf subsystem. Extrapolation suggests that at
+ some point those other tools will simply become completely redundant
+ and go away; until then, we'll cover those other tools in these pages
+ and in many cases show how the same things can be accomplished in
+ perf and the other tools when it seems useful to do so.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The coverage below details some of the most common ways you'll likely
+ want to apply the tool; full documentation can be found either within
+ the tool itself or in the man pages at
+ <ulink url='http://linux.die.net/man/1/perf'>perf(1)</ulink>.
+ </para>

+ <section id='perf-setup'>
+ <title>Setup</title>
+
+ <para>
+ For this section, we'll assume you've already performed the basic
+ setup outlined in the General Setup section.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In particular, you'll get the most mileage out of perf if you
+ profile an image built with the following in your
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ perf runs on the target system for the most part. You can archive
+ profile data and copy it to the host for analysis, but for the
+ rest of this document we assume you've ssh'ed to the host and
+ will be running the perf commands on the target.

+ <title>Basic Usage</title>

+ basic usage along with the available perf subcommands:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ <title>Using perf to do Basic Profiling</title>
+
+ <para>
+ As a simple test case, we'll profile the 'wget' of a fairly large
+ file, which is a minimally interesting case because it has both
+ file and network I/O aspects, and at least in the case of standard
+ Yocto images, it's implemented as part of busybox, so the methods
+ we use to analyze it can be used in a very similar way to the whole
+ host of supported busybox applets in Yocto.

+ </literallayout>
+ The quickest and easiest way to get some basic overall data about
+ what's going on for a particular workload is to profile it using
+ 'perf stat'. 'perf stat' basically profiles using a few default
+ counters and displays the summed counts at the end of the run:

+ Many times such a simple-minded test doesn't yield much of

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Also, note that 'perf stat' isn't restricted to a fixed set of
+ counters - basically any event listed in the output of 'perf list'
+ can be tallied by 'perf stat'. For example, suppose we wanted to
+ see a summary of all the events related to kernel memory
+ allocation/freeing along with cache hits and misses:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ So 'perf stat' gives us a nice easy way to get a quick overview of

+ in a way that we can act on in a useful way.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To dive down into a next level of detail, we can use 'perf

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As our first attempt at profiling this workload, we'll simply
+ run 'perf record', handing it the workload we want to profile
+ (everything after 'perf record' and any perf options we hand
+ it - here none - will be executed in a new shell). perf collects
+ samples until the process exits and records them in a file named
+ 'perf.data' in the current working directory.

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The above screenshot displays a 'flat' profile, one entry for
+ each 'bucket' corresponding to the functions that were profiled
+ during the profiling run, ordered from the most popular to the
+ least (perf has options to sort in various orders and keys as
+ well as display entries only above a certain threshold and so
+ on - see the perf documentation for details). Note that this
+ includes both userspace functions (entries containing a [.]) and
+ kernel functions accounted to the process (entries containing
+ a [k]). (perf has command-line modifiers that can be used to
+ restrict the profiling to kernel or userspace, among others).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Notice also that the above report shows an entry for 'busybox',
+ which is the executable that implements 'wget' in Yocto, but that
+ instead of a useful function name in that entry, it displays
+ a not-so-friendly hex value instead. The steps below will show
+ how to fix that problem.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Before we do that, however, let's try running a different profile,
+ one which shows something a little more interesting. The only
+ difference between the new profile and the previous one is that
+ we'll add the -g option, which will record not just the address
+ of a sampled function, but the entire callchain to the sampled
+ function as well:

+ <imagedata fileref="figures/perf-wget-g-copy-to-user-expanded-stripped.png" width="6in" depth="7in" align="center" scalefit="1" />
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Using the callgraph view, we can actually see not only which
+ functions took the most time, but we can also see a summary of
+ how those functions were called and learn something about how the
+ program interacts with the kernel in the process.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Notice that each entry in the above screenshot now contains a '+'
+ on the left-hand side. This means that we can expand the entry and
+ drill down into the callchains that feed into that entry.
+ Pressing 'enter' on any one of them will expand the callchain
+ (you can also press 'E' to expand them all at the same time or 'C'
+ to collapse them all).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In the screenshot above, we've toggled the __copy_to_user_ll()
+ entry and several subnodes all the way down. This lets us see
+ which callchains contributed to the profiled __copy_to_user_ll()
+ function which contributed 1.77% to the total profile.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As a bit of background explanation for these callchains, think
+ about what happens at a high level when you run wget to get a file
+ out on the network. Basically what happens is that the data comes
+ into the kernel via the network connection (socket) and is passed
+ to the userspace program 'wget' (which is actually a part of
+ busybox, but that's not important for now), which takes the buffers
+ the kernel passes to it and writes it to a disk file to save it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The part of this process that we're looking at in the above call
+ stacks is the part where the kernel passes the data it's read from
+ the socket down to wget i.e. a copy-to-user.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Notice also that here there's also a case where the hex value
+ is displayed in the callstack, here in the expanded
+ sys_clock_gettime() function. Later we'll see it resolve to a
+ userspace function call in busybox.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <imagedata fileref="figures/perf-wget-g-copy-from-user-expanded-stripped.png" width="6in" depth="7in" align="center" scalefit="1" />
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The above screenshot shows the other half of the journey for the
+ data - from the wget program's userspace buffers to disk. To get
+ the buffers to disk, the wget program issues a write(2), which
+ does a copy-from-user to the kernel, which then takes care via
+ some circuitous path (probably also present somewhere in the
+ profile data), to get it safely to disk.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Now that we've seen the basic layout of the profile data and the
+ basics of how to extract useful information out of it, let's get
+ back to the task at hand and see if we can get some basic idea
+ about where the time is spent in the program we're profiling,
+ wget. Remember that wget is actually implemented as an applet
+ in busybox, so while the process name is 'wget', the executable
+ we're actually interested in is busybox. So let's expand the
+ first entry containing busybox:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <imagedata fileref="figures/perf-wget-busybox-expanded-stripped.png" width="6in" depth="7in" align="center" scalefit="1" />
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Again, before we expanded we saw that the function was labeled
+ with a hex value instead of a symbol as with most of the kernel
+ entries. Expanding the busybox entry doesn't make it any better.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The problem is that perf can't find the symbol information for the
+ busybox binary, which is actually stripped out by the Yocto build
+ system.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ One way around that is to put the following in your
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> file when you build the image:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP'>INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP</ulink> = "1"
+ </literallayout>
+ However, we already have an image with the binaries stripped,
+ so what can we do to get perf to resolve the symbols? Basically
+ we need to install the debuginfo for the busybox package.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To generate the debug info for the packages in the image, we can
+ add dbg-pkgs to EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES in local.conf. For example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-profile dbg-pkgs"
+ </literallayout>
+ Additionally, in order to generate the type of debuginfo that
+ perf understands, we also need to set
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE'><filename>PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE</filename></ulink>
+ in the <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE = 'debug-file-directory'
+ </literallayout>
+ Once we've done that, we can install the debuginfo for busybox.
+ The debug packages once built can be found in
+ build/tmp/deploy/rpm/* on the host system. Find the
+ busybox-dbg-...rpm file and copy it to the target. For example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ [trz@empanada core2]$ scp /home/trz/yocto/crownbay-tracing-dbg/build/tmp/deploy/rpm/core2_32/busybox-dbg-1.20.2-r2.core2_32.rpm root@192.168.1.31:
+ root@192.168.1.31's password:
+ busybox-dbg-1.20.2-r2.core2_32.rpm 100% 1826KB 1.8MB/s 00:01
+ </literallayout>
+ Now install the debug rpm on the target:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ root@crownbay:~# rpm -i busybox-dbg-1.20.2-r2.core2_32.rpm
+ </literallayout>
+ Now that the debuginfo is installed, we see that the busybox
+ entries now display their functions symbolically:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <imagedata fileref="figures/perf-wget-busybox-debuginfo.png" width="6in" depth="7in" align="center" scalefit="1" />
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If we expand one of the entries and press 'enter' on a leaf node,
+ we're presented with a menu of actions we can take to get more
+ information related to that entry:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <imagedata fileref="figures/perf-wget-busybox-dso-zoom-menu.png" width="6in" depth="2in" align="center" scalefit="1" />
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ One of these actions allows us to show a view that displays a
+ busybox-centric view of the profiled functions (in this case we've
+ also expanded all the nodes using the 'E' key):
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <imagedata fileref="figures/perf-wget-busybox-dso-zoom.png" width="6in" depth="7in" align="center" scalefit="1" />
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Finally, we can see that now that the busybox debuginfo is
+ installed, the previously unresolved symbol in the
+ sys_clock_gettime() entry mentioned previously is now resolved,
+ and shows that the sys_clock_gettime system call that was the
+ source of 6.75% of the copy-to-user overhead was initiated by
+ the handle_input() busybox function:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <imagedata fileref="figures/perf-wget-g-copy-to-user-expanded-debuginfo.png" width="6in" depth="7in" align="center" scalefit="1" />
+ </para>
+
+ <para>

+ Profiling is a great tool for solving many problems or for
+ getting a high-level view of what's going on with a workload or
+ across the system. It is however by definition an approximation,
+ as suggested by the most prominent word associated with it,
+ 'sampling'. On the one hand, it allows a representative picture of
+ what's going on in the system to be cheaply taken, but on the other
+ hand, that cheapness limits its utility when that data suggests a
+ need to 'dive down' more deeply to discover what's really going
+ on. In such cases, the only way to see what's really going on is
+ to be able to look at (or summarize more intelligently) the
+ individual steps that go into the higher-level behavior exposed

+ In many ways, profiling can be viewed as a subset of tracing -
+ theoretically, if you have a set of trace events that's sufficient
+ to capture all the important aspects of a workload, you can derive
+ any of the results or views that a profiling run can.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another aspect of traditional profiling is that while powerful in
+ many ways, it's limited by the granularity of the underlying data.
+ Profiling tools offer various ways of sorting and presenting the
+ sample data, which make it much more useful and amenable to user
+ experimentation, but in the end it can't be used in an open-ended
+ way to extract data that just isn't present as a consequence of
+ the fact that conceptually, most of it has been thrown away.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Full-blown detailed tracing data does however offer the opportunity
+ to manipulate and present the information collected during a
+ tracing run in an infinite variety of ways.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another way to look at it is that there are only so many ways that
+ the 'primitive' counters can be used on their own to generate
+ interesting output; to get anything more complicated than simple
+ counts requires some amount of additional logic, which is typically
+ very specific to the problem at hand. For example, if we wanted to
+ make use of a 'counter' that maps to the value of the time
+ difference between when a process was scheduled to run on a
+ processor and the time it actually ran, we wouldn't expect such
+ a counter to exist on its own, but we could derive one called say
+ 'wakeup_latency' and use it to extract a useful view of that metric
+ from trace data. Likewise, we really can't figure out from standard
+ profiling tools how much data every process on the system reads and
+ writes, along with how many of those reads and writes fail
+ completely. If we have sufficient trace data, however, we could
+ with the right tools easily extract and present that information,
+ but we'd need something other than pre-canned profiling tools to
+ do that.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Luckily, there is a general-purpose way to handle such needs,
+ called 'programming languages'. Making programming languages
+ easily available to apply to such problems given the specific
+ format of data is called a 'programming language binding' for
+ that data and language. Perf supports two programming language
+ bindings, one for Python and one for Perl.
+ </para>
+
+ <informalexample>
+ <emphasis>Tying it Together:</emphasis> Language bindings for manipulating and
+ aggregating trace data are of course not a new
+ idea. One of the first projects to do this was IBM's DProbes
+ dpcc compiler, an ANSI C compiler which targeted a low-level
+ assembly language running on an in-kernel interpreter on the
+ target system. This is exactly analogous to what Sun's DTrace
+ did, except that DTrace invented its own language for the purpose.
+ Systemtap, heavily inspired by DTrace, also created its own
+ one-off language, but rather than running the product on an
+ in-kernel interpreter, created an elaborate compiler-based
+ machinery to translate its language into kernel modules written
+ in C.
+ </informalexample>
+
+ <para>
+ Now that we have the trace data in perf.data, we can use
+ 'perf script -g' to generate a skeleton script with handlers
+ for the read/write entry/exit events we recorded:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ root@crownbay:~# perf script -g python
+ generated Python script: perf-script.py
+ </literallayout>
+ The skeleton script simply creates a python function for each
+ event type in the perf.data file. The body of each function simply
+ prints the event name along with its parameters. For example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ def net__netif_rx(event_name, context, common_cpu,
+ common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
+ skbaddr, len, name):
+ print_header(event_name, common_cpu, common_secs, common_nsecs,
+ common_pid, common_comm)
+
+ print "skbaddr=%u, len=%u, name=%s\n" % (skbaddr, len, name),
+ </literallayout>
+ We can run that script directly to print all of the events
+ contained in the perf.data file:

+ </literallayout>
+ Each event handler function in the generated code is modified
+ to do this. For convenience, we define a common function called
+ inc_counts() that each handler calls; inc_counts() simply tallies
+ a count for each event using the 'counts' hash, which is a
+ specialized hash function that does Perl-like autovivification, a
+ capability that's extremely useful for kinds of multi-level
+ aggregation commonly used in processing traces (see perf's
+ documentation on the Python language binding for details):
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ counts = autodict()
+
+ def inc_counts(event_name):
+ try:
+ counts[event_name] += 1
+ except TypeError:
+ counts[event_name] = 1
+ </literallayout>
+ Finally, at the end of the trace processing run, we want to
+ print the result of all the per-event tallies. For that, we
+ use the special 'trace_end()' function:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ def trace_end():
+ for event_name, count in counts.iteritems():
+ print "%-40s %10s\n" % (event_name, count)
+ </literallayout>
+ The end result is a summary of all the events recorded in the
+ trace:

+ <emphasis>Tying it Together:</emphasis> These are exactly the same set of event

+
+ <informalexample>
+ <emphasis>Tying it Together:</emphasis> These event filters are implemented by a
+ special-purpose pseudo-interpreter in the kernel and are an
+ integral and indispensable part of the perf design as it
+ relates to tracing. kernel-based event filters provide a
+ mechanism to precisely throttle the event stream that appears
+ in user space, where it makes sense to provide bindings to real
+ programming languages for postprocessing the event stream.
+ This architecture allows for the intelligent and flexible
+ partitioning of processing between the kernel and user space.
+ Contrast this with other tools such as SystemTap, which does
+ all of its processing in the kernel and as such requires a
+ special project-defined language in order to accommodate that
+ design, or LTTng, where everything is sent to userspace and
+ as such requires a super-efficient kernel-to-userspace
+ transport mechanism in order to function properly. While
+ perf certainly can benefit from for instance advances in
+ the design of the transport, it doesn't fundamentally depend
+ on them. Basically, if you find that your perf tracing
+ application is causing buffer I/O overruns, it probably
+ means that you aren't taking enough advantage of the
+ kernel filtering engine.

+ used to set tracing options, and yet others actually contain

+ We'll start by looking at some of the available built-in

+ cat'ing the 'available_tracers' file lists the set of
+ available tracers:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ root@sugarbay:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# cat available_tracers
+ blk function_graph function nop
+ </literallayout>
+ The 'current_tracer' file contains the tracer currently in
+ effect:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ root@sugarbay:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# cat current_tracer
+ nop
+ </literallayout>
+ The above listing of current_tracer shows that
+ the 'nop' tracer is in effect, which is just another
+ way of saying that there's actually no tracer
+ currently in effect.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ echo'ing one of the available_tracers into current_tracer
+ makes the specified tracer the current tracer:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ root@sugarbay:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# echo function > current_tracer
+ root@sugarbay:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# cat current_tracer
+ function
+ </literallayout>
+ The above sets the current tracer to be the
+ 'function tracer'. This tracer traces every function
+ call in the kernel and makes it available as the
+ contents of the 'trace' file. Reading the 'trace' file
+ lists the currently buffered function calls that have been
+ traced by the function tracer:

+ As you can see, the function_graph display is much easier to
+ follow. Also note that in addition to the function calls and
+ associated braces, other events such as scheduler events
+ are displayed in context. In fact, you can freely include
+ any tracepoint available in the trace events subsystem described
+ in the next section by simply enabling those events, and they'll
+ appear in context in the function graph display. Quite a
+ powerful tool for understanding kernel dynamics.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Also notice that there are various annotations on the left
+ hand side of the display. For example if the total time it
+ took for a given function to execute is above a certain
+ threshold, an exclamation point or plus sign appears on the
+ left hand side. Please see the ftrace documentation for
+ details on all these fields.

+ <para>
+ SystemTap is a system-wide script-based tracing and profiling tool.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ SystemTap scripts are C-like programs that are executed in the
+ kernel to gather/print/aggregate data extracted from the context
+ they end up being invoked under.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For example, this probe from the
+ <ulink url='http://sourceware.org/systemtap/tutorial/'>SystemTap tutorial</ulink>
+ simply prints a line every time any process on the system open()s
+ a file. For each line, it prints the executable name of the
+ program that opened the file, along with its PID, and the name
+ of the file it opened (or tried to open), which it extracts
+ from the open syscall's argstr.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ probe syscall.open
+ {
+ printf ("%s(%d) open (%s)\n", execname(), pid(), argstr)
+ }
+
+ probe timer.ms(4000) # after 4 seconds
+ {
+ exit ()
+ }
+ </literallayout>
+ Normally, to execute this probe, you'd simply install
+ systemtap on the system you want to probe, and directly run
+ the probe on that system e.g. assuming the name of the file
+ containing the above text is trace_open.stp:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ # stap trace_open.stp
+ </literallayout>
+ What systemtap does under the covers to run this probe is 1)
+ parse and convert the probe to an equivalent 'C' form, 2)
+ compile the 'C' form into a kernel module, 3) insert the
+ module into the kernel, which arms it, and 4) collect the data
+ generated by the probe and display it to the user.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In order to accomplish steps 1 and 2, the 'stap' program needs
+ access to the kernel build system that produced the kernel
+ that the probed system is running. In the case of a typical
+ embedded system (the 'target'), the kernel build system
+ unfortunately isn't typically part of the image running on
+ the target. It is normally available on the 'host' system
+ that produced the target image however; in such cases,
+ steps 1 and 2 are executed on the host system, and steps
+ 3 and 4 are executed on the target system, using only the
+ systemtap 'runtime'.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The systemtap support in Yocto assumes that only steps
+ 3 and 4 are run on the target; it is possible to do
+ everything on the target, but this section assumes only
+ the typical embedded use-case.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ So basically what you need to do in order to run a systemtap
+ script on the target is to 1) on the host system, compile the
+ probe into a kernel module that makes sense to the target, 2)
+ copy the module onto the target system and 3) insert the
+ module into the target kernel, which arms it, and 4) collect
+ the data generated by the probe and display it to the user.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='systemtap-setup'>
+ <title>Setup</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Those are a lot of steps and a lot of details, but
+ fortunately Yocto includes a script called 'crosstap'
+ that will take care of those details, allowing you to
+ simply execute a systemtap script on the remote target,
+ with arguments if necessary.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In order to do this from a remote host, however, you
+ need to have access to the build for the image you
+ booted. The 'crosstap' script provides details on how
+ to do this if you run the script on the host without having
+ done a build:
+ <note>
+ SystemTap, which uses 'crosstap', assumes you can establish an
+ ssh connection to the remote target.
+ Please refer to the crosstap wiki page for details on verifying
+ ssh connections at
+ <ulink url='https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Tracing_and_Profiling#systemtap'></ulink>.
+ Also, the ability to ssh into the target system is not enabled
+ by default in *-minimal images.

+
+ Error: No target kernel build found.
+ Did you forget to create a local build of your image?
+
+ 'crosstap' requires a local sdk build of the target system
+ (or a build that includes 'tools-profile') in order to build
+ kernel modules that can probe the target system.
+
+ Practically speaking, that means you need to do the following:
+ - If you're running a pre-built image, download the release
+ and/or BSP tarballs used to build the image.
+ - If you're working from git sources, just clone the metadata
+ and BSP layers needed to build the image you'll be booting.
+ - Make sure you're properly set up to build a new image (see
+ the BSP README and/or the widely available basic documentation
+ that discusses how to build images).
+ - Build an -sdk version of the image e.g.:
+ $ bitbake core-image-sato-sdk
+ OR
+ - Build a non-sdk image but include the profiling tools:
+ [ edit local.conf and add 'tools-profile' to the end of
+ the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES variable ]
+ $ bitbake core-image-sato
+
+ Once you've build the image on the host system, you're ready to
+ boot it (or the equivalent pre-built image) and use 'crosstap'
+ to probe it (you need to source the environment as usual first):
+
+ $ source oe-init-build-env
+ $ cd ~/my/systemtap/scripts
+ $ crosstap root@192.168.1.xxx myscript.stp
+ </literallayout>
+ So essentially what you need to do is build an SDK image or
+ image with 'tools-profile' as detailed in the
+ "<link linkend='profile-manual-general-setup'>General Setup</link>"
+ section of this manual, and boot the resulting target image.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ If you have a build directory containing multiple machines,
+ you need to have the MACHINE you're connecting to selected
+ in local.conf, and the kernel in that machine's build
+ directory must match the kernel on the booted system exactly,
+ or you'll get the above 'crosstap' message when you try to
+ invoke a script.

+ option that you can experiment with; one of the options is
+ 'caller' for an inverted caller-based callgraph display.

+ The report shows each event that was found in the blktrace data,
+ along with a summary of the overall block I/O traffic during
+ the run. You can look at the
+ <ulink url='http://linux.die.net/man/1/blkparse'>blkparse</ulink>
+ manpage to learn the
+ meaning of each field displayed in the trace listing.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='blktrace-live-mode'>
+ <title>Live Mode</title>
+
+ <para>
+ blktrace and blkparse are designed from the ground up to
+ be able to operate together in a 'pipe mode' where the
+ stdout of blktrace can be fed directly into the stdin of
+ blkparse:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ root@crownbay:~# blktrace /dev/sdc -o - | blkparse -i -
+ </literallayout>
+ This enables long-lived tracing sessions to run without
+ writing anything to disk, and allows the user to look for
+ certain conditions in the trace data in 'real-time' by
+ viewing the trace output as it scrolls by on the screen or
+ by passing it along to yet another program in the pipeline
+ such as grep which can be used to identify and capture
+ conditions of interest.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ There's actually another blktrace command that implements
+ the above pipeline as a single command, so the user doesn't
+ have to bother typing in the above command sequence:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ root@crownbay:~# btrace /dev/sdc
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='using-blktrace-remotely'>
+ <title>Using blktrace Remotely</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Because blktrace traces block I/O and at the same time
+ normally writes its trace data to a block device, and
+ in general because it's not really a great idea to make
+ the device being traced the same as the device the tracer
+ writes to, blktrace provides a way to trace without
+ perturbing the traced device at all by providing native
+ support for sending all trace data over the network.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To have blktrace operate in this mode, start blktrace on
+ the target system being traced with the -l option, along with
+ the device to trace:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ root@crownbay:~# blktrace -l /dev/sdc
+ server: waiting for connections...
+ </literallayout>
+ On the host system, use the -h option to connect to the
+ target system, also passing it the device to trace:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ blktrace -d /dev/sdc -h 192.168.1.43
+ blktrace: connecting to 192.168.1.43
+ blktrace: connected!
+ </literallayout>
+ On the target system, you should see this:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ server: connection from 192.168.1.43
+ </literallayout>
+ In another shell, execute a workload you want to trace.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ root@crownbay:/media/sdc# rm linux-2.6.19.2.tar.bz2; wget <ulink url='http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/mirror/sources/linux-2.6.19.2.tar.bz2'>http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/mirror/sources/linux-2.6.19.2.tar.bz2</ulink>; sync

+ </literallayout>
+ When it's done, do a Ctrl-C on the host system to
+ stop the trace:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ ^C=== sdc ===
+ CPU 0: 7691 events, 361 KiB data
+ CPU 1: 4109 events, 193 KiB data
+ Total: 11800 events (dropped 0), 554 KiB data
+ </literallayout>
+ On the target system, you should also see a trace
+ summary for the trace just ended:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ server: end of run for 192.168.1.43:sdc
+ === sdc ===

+ Total: 11800 events (dropped 0), 554 KiB data
+ </literallayout>
+ The blktrace instance on the host will save the target
+ output inside a hostname-timestamp directory:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ How does Poky differ from <ulink url='&OE_HOME_URL;'>OpenEmbedded</ulink>?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ The term "<link link='poky'>Poky</link>"
+ refers to the specific reference build system that
+ the Yocto Project provides.
+ Poky is based on <link linkend='oe-core'>OE-Core</link>
+ and <link linkend='bitbake-term'>BitBake</link>.
+ Thus, the generic term used here for the build system is
+ the "OpenEmbedded build system."
+ Development in the Yocto Project using Poky is closely tied to OpenEmbedded, with
+ changes always being merged to OE-Core or BitBake first before being pulled back
+ into Poky.
+ This practice benefits both projects immediately.
+ </para>
+ </answer>

+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ You can get the required tools on your host development
+ system a couple different ways (i.e. building a tarball or
+ downloading a tarball).
+ See the

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ How do I get support for my board added to the Yocto Project?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ Support for an additional board is added by creating a
+ Board Support Package (BSP) layer for it.
+ For more information on how to create a BSP layer, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#understanding-and-creating-layers'>Understanding and Creating Layers</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual and the

+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Usually, if the board is not completely exotic, adding support in
+ the Yocto Project is fairly straightforward.

+
+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+ <para>
+ What does the OpenEmbedded build system produce as output?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ Because you can use the same set of recipes to create output of
+ various formats, the output of an OpenEmbedded build depends on
+ how you start it.
+ Usually, the output is a flashable image ready for the target
+ device.

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ How do I add my package to the Yocto Project?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ To add a package, you need to create a BitBake recipe.
+ For information on how to create a BitBake recipe, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#new-recipe-writing-a-new-recipe'>Writing a New Recipe</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ Do I have to reflash my entire board with a new Yocto Project image when recompiling
+ a package?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ The OpenEmbedded build system can build packages in various
+ formats such as IPK for OPKG, Debian package
+ (<filename>.deb</filename>), or RPM.
+ You can then upgrade the packages using the package tools on
+ the device, much like on a desktop distribution such as
+ Ubuntu or Fedora.
+ However, package management on the target is entirely optional.

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ How do I make the Yocto Project work in RHEL/CentOS?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ To get the Yocto Project working under RHEL/CentOS 5.1 you need to first
+ install some required packages.
+ The standard CentOS packages needed are:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>"Development tools" (selected during installation)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><filename>texi2html</filename></para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><filename>compat-gcc-34</filename></para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ On top of these, you need the following external packages:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><filename>python-sqlite2</filename> from
+ <ulink url='http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/python-sqlite2/'>DAG repository</ulink>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><filename>help2man</filename> from

+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once these packages are installed, the OpenEmbedded build system will be able
+ to build standard images.
+ However, there might be a problem with the QEMU emulator segfaulting.
+ You can either disable the generation of binary locales by setting
+ <filename><link linkend='var-ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION'>ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION</link>
+ </filename> to "0" or by removing the <filename>linux-2.6-execshield.patch</filename>
+ from the kernel and rebuilding it since that is the patch that causes the problems with QEMU.

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ I see lots of 404 responses for files when the OpenEmbedded
+ build system is trying to download sources.
+ Is something wrong?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ Nothing is wrong.
+ The OpenEmbedded build system checks any configured source mirrors before downloading
+ from the upstream sources.
+ The build system does this searching for both source archives and
+ pre-checked out versions of SCM-managed software.
+ These checks help in large installations because it can reduce load on the SCM servers
+ themselves.
+ The address above is one of the default mirrors configured into the
+ build system.
+ Consequently, if an upstream source disappears, the team
+ can place sources there so builds continue to work.

+ <para>
+ Set <filename><link linkend='var-SRC_URI_OVERRIDES_PACKAGE_ARCH'>SRC_URI_OVERRIDES_PACKAGE_ARCH</link>
+ </filename> = "0" in the <filename>.bb</filename> file but make sure the package is

+ <question>
+ <para id='i-am-behind-a-firewall-and-need-to-use-a-proxy-server'>
+ I'm behind a firewall and need to use a proxy server. How do I do that?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ Most source fetching by the OpenEmbedded build system is done
+ by <filename>wget</filename> and you therefore need to specify
+ the proxy settings in a <filename>.wgetrc</filename> file,
+ which can be in your home directory if you are a single user
+ or can be in <filename>/usr/local/etc/wgetrc</filename> as
+ a global user file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Following is the applicable code for setting various proxy
+ types in the <filename>.wgetrc</filename> file.
+ By default, these settings are disabled with comments.
+ To use them, remove the comments:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ # You can set the default proxies for Wget to use for http, https, and ftp.
+ # They will override the value in the environment.
+ #https_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
+ #http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
+ #ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
+
+ # If you do not want to use proxy at all, set this to off.
+ #use_proxy = on
+ </literallayout>
+ The Yocto Project also includes a
+ <filename>meta-poky/conf/site.conf.sample</filename> file that
+ shows how to configure CVS and Git proxy servers if needed.
+ For more information on setting up various proxy types and
+ configuring proxy servers, see the

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ What's the difference between <replaceable>target</replaceable> and <replaceable>target</replaceable><filename>-native</filename>?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ The <filename>*-native</filename> targets are designed to run on the system
+ being used for the build.
+ These are usually tools that are needed to assist the build in some way such as
+ <filename>quilt-native</filename>, which is used to apply patches.
+ The non-native version is the one that runs on the target device.

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ I'm seeing random build failures. Help?!
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ If the same build is failing in totally different and random
+ ways, the most likely explanation is:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>The hardware you are running the build on
+ has some problem.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>You are running the build under
+ virtualization, in which case the virtualization
+ probably has bugs.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ The OpenEmbedded build system processes a massive amount of
+ data that causes lots of network, disk and CPU activity and
+ is sensitive to even single-bit failures in any of these areas.
+ True random failures have always been traced back to hardware
+ or virtualization issues.
+ </para>
+ </answer>
+ </qandaentry>
+
+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+ <para>
+ When I try to build a native recipe, the build fails with <filename>iconv.h</filename> problems.
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ If you get an error message that indicates GNU
+ <filename>libiconv</filename> is not in use but
+ <filename>iconv.h</filename> has been included from
+ <filename>libiconv</filename>, you need to check to see if
+ you have a previously installed version of the header file
+ in <filename>/usr/local/include</filename>.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ #error GNU libiconv not in use but included iconv.h is from libiconv
+ </literallayout>
+ If you find a previously installed file, you should either
+ uninstall it or temporarily rename it and try the build again.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This issue is just a single manifestation of "system
+ leakage" issues caused when the OpenEmbedded build system
+ finds and uses previously installed files during a native
+ build.
+ This type of issue might not be limited to
+ <filename>iconv.h</filename>.
+ Be sure that leakage cannot occur from
+ <filename>/usr/local/include</filename> and
+ <filename>/opt</filename> locations.

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ What do we need to ship for license compliance?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ This is a difficult question and you need to consult your lawyer
+ for the answer for your specific case.
+ It is worth bearing in mind that for GPL compliance, there needs
+ to be enough information shipped to allow someone else to
+ rebuild and produce the same end result you are shipping.
+ This means sharing the source code, any patches applied to it,
+ and also any configuration information about how that package
+ was configured and built.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can find more information on licensing in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#licensing'>Licensing</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ How do I make sure connected network interfaces are brought up by default?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ The default interfaces file provided by the netbase recipe does not
+ automatically bring up network interfaces.
+ Therefore, you will need to add a BSP-specific netbase that includes an interfaces
+ file.
+ See the "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;#bsp-filelayout-misc-recipes'>Miscellaneous BSP-Specific Recipe Files</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Board Support Packages (BSP)

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ How do I create images with more free space?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ By default, the OpenEmbedded build system creates images
+ that are 1.3 times the size of the populated root filesystem.
+ To affect the image size, you need to set various
+ configurations:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Image Size:</emphasis>
+ The OpenEmbedded build system uses the
+ <link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE'><filename>IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE</filename></link>
+ variable to define the size of the image in Kbytes.
+ The build system determines the size by taking into
+ account the initial root filesystem size before any
+ modifications such as requested size for the image and
+ any requested additional free disk space to be
+ added to the image.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Overhead:</emphasis>
+ Use the
+ <link linkend='var-IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR'><filename>IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR</filename></link>
+ variable to define the multiplier that the build system
+ applies to the initial image size, which is 1.3 by
+ default.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Additional Free Space:</emphasis>
+ Use the
+ <link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE'><filename>IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE</filename></link>
+ variable to add additional free space to the image.
+ The build system adds this space to the image after
+ it determines its
+ <filename>IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE</filename>.

+
+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+ <para>
+ Why don't you support directories with spaces in the pathnames?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project team has tried to do this before but too
+ many of the tools the OpenEmbedded build system depends on,
+ such as <filename>autoconf</filename>, break when they find
+ spaces in pathnames.
+ Until that situation changes, the team will not support spaces
+ in pathnames.

+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+ <para>
+ How do I use an external toolchain?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ The toolchain configuration is very flexible and customizable.
+ It is primarily controlled with the
+ <filename><link linkend='var-TCMODE'>TCMODE</link></filename>
+ variable.
+ This variable controls which <filename>tcmode-*.inc</filename>
+ file to include from the
+ <filename>meta/conf/distro/include</filename> directory within
+ the
+ <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The default value of <filename>TCMODE</filename> is "default",
+ which tells the OpenEmbedded build system to use its internally
+ built toolchain (i.e. <filename>tcmode-default.inc</filename>).
+ However, other patterns are accepted.
+ In particular, "external-*" refers to external toolchains.
+ One example is the Sourcery G++ Toolchain.
+ The support for this toolchain resides in the separate
+ <filename>meta-sourcery</filename> layer at
+ <ulink url='http://github.com/MentorEmbedded/meta-sourcery/'></ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In addition to the toolchain configuration, you also need a
+ corresponding toolchain recipe file.
+ This recipe file needs to package up any pre-built objects in
+ the toolchain such as <filename>libgcc</filename>,
+ <filename>libstdcc++</filename>, any locales, and
+ <filename>libc</filename>.

+ You can setup the build system to get source code in most
+ environments if HTTP transport is available.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ When the build system searches for source code, it first
+ tries the local download directory.
+ If that location fails, Poky tries
+ <link linkend='var-PREMIRRORS'><filename>PREMIRRORS</filename></link>,
+ the upstream source, and then
+ <link linkend='var-MIRRORS'><filename>MIRRORS</filename></link>
+ in that order.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Assuming your distribution is "poky", the OpenEmbedded build
+ system uses the Yocto Project source
+ <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> by default for SCM-based
+ sources, upstreams for normal tarballs, and then falls back
+ to a number of other mirrors including the Yocto Project
+ source mirror if those fail.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ As an example, you could add a specific server for the
+ build system to attempt before any others by adding something
+ like the following to the <filename>local.conf</filename>
+ configuration file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PREMIRRORS_prepend = "\
+ git://.*/.* http://www.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
+ ftp://.*/.* http://www.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
+ http://.*/.* http://www.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
+ https://.*/.* http://www.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n"
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ These changes cause the build system to intercept Git, FTP,
+ HTTP, and HTTPS requests and direct them to the
+ <filename>http://</filename> sources mirror.
+ You can use <filename>file://</filename> URLs to point to
+ local directories or network shares as well.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Aside from the previous technique, these options also exist:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"
+ </literallayout>
+ This statement tells BitBake to issue an error instead of
+ trying to access the Internet.
+ This technique is useful if you want to ensure code builds
+ only from local sources.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Here is another technique:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BB_FETCH_PREMIRRORONLY = "1"
+ </literallayout>
+ This statement limits the build system to pulling source
+ from the <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> only.
+ Again, this technique is useful for reproducing builds.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Here is another technique:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1"
+ </literallayout>
+ This statement tells the build system to generate mirror
+ tarballs.
+ This technique is useful if you want to create a mirror server.
+ If not, however, the technique can simply waste time during
+ the build.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Finally, consider an example where you are behind an
+ HTTP-only firewall.
+ You could make the following changes to the
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> configuration file as long as
+ the <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> server is current:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ PREMIRRORS_prepend = "\
+ ftp://.*/.* http://www.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
+ http://.*/.* http://www.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
+ https://.*/.* http://www.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n"
+ BB_FETCH_PREMIRRORONLY = "1"
+ </literallayout>
+ These changes would cause the build system to successfully
+ fetch source over HTTP and any network accesses to anything
+ other than the <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> would fail.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The build system also honors the standard shell environment
+ variables <filename>http_proxy</filename>,
+ <filename>ftp_proxy</filename>,
+ <filename>https_proxy</filename>, and
+ <filename>all_proxy</filename> to redirect requests through
+ proxy servers.

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ Can I get rid of build output so I can start over?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ Yes - you can easily do this.
+ When you use BitBake to build an image, all the build output
+ goes into the directory created when you run the
+ build environment setup script (i.e.
+ <link linkend='structure-core-script'><filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename></link>).
+ By default, this
+ <link linkend='build-directory'>Build Directory</link>
+ is named <filename>build</filename> but can be named
+ anything you want.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Within the Build Directory, is the <filename>tmp</filename>
+ directory.
+ To remove all the build output yet preserve any source code or
+ downloaded files from previous builds, simply remove the
+ <filename>tmp</filename> directory.
+ </para>
+ </answer>
+ </qandaentry>
+
+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+ <para>
+ Why do <filename>${bindir}</filename> and <filename>${libdir}</filename> have strange values for <filename>-native</filename> recipes?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ Executables and libraries might need to be used from a
+ directory other than the directory into which they were
+ initially installed.
+ Complicating this situation is the fact that sometimes these
+ executables and libraries are compiled with the expectation
+ of being run from that initial installation target directory.
+ If this is the case, moving them causes problems.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This scenario is a fundamental problem for package maintainers
+ of mainstream Linux distributions as well as for the
+ OpenEmbedded build system.
+ As such, a well-established solution exists.
+ Makefiles, Autotools configuration scripts, and other build
+ systems are expected to respect environment variables such as
+ <filename>bindir</filename>, <filename>libdir</filename>,
+ and <filename>sysconfdir</filename> that indicate where
+ executables, libraries, and data reside when a program is
+ actually run.
+ They are also expected to respect a
+ <filename>DESTDIR</filename> environment variable, which is
+ prepended to all the other variables when the build system
+ actually installs the files.
+ It is understood that the program does not actually run from
+ within <filename>DESTDIR</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When the OpenEmbedded build system uses a recipe to build a
+ target-architecture program (i.e. one that is intended for
+ inclusion on the image being built), that program eventually
+ runs from the root file system of that image.
+ Thus, the build system provides a value of "/usr/bin" for
+ <filename>bindir</filename>, a value of "/usr/lib" for
+ <filename>libdir</filename>, and so forth.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Meanwhile, <filename>DESTDIR</filename> is a path within the
+ <link linkend='build-directory'>Build Directory</link>.
+ However, when the recipe builds a native program (i.e. one
+ that is intended to run on the build machine), that program
+ is never installed directly to the build machine's root
+ file system.
+ Consequently, the build system uses paths within the Build
+ Directory for <filename>DESTDIR</filename>,
+ <filename>bindir</filename> and related variables.
+ To better understand this, consider the following two paths
+ where the first is relatively normal and the second is not:
+ <note>
+ Due to these lengthy examples, the paths are artificially
+ broken across lines for readability.
+ </note>
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ /home/maxtothemax/poky-bootchart2/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/zlib/
+ 1.2.8-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/bin
+
+ /home/maxtothemax/poky-bootchart2/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/
+ zlib-native/1.2.8-r0/sysroot-destdir/home/maxtothemax/poky-bootchart2/
+ build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin
+ </literallayout>
+ Even if the paths look unusual, they both are correct -
+ the first for a target and the second for a native recipe.
+ These paths are a consequence of the
+ <filename>DESTDIR</filename> mechanism and while they
+ appear strange, they are correct and in practice very effective.
+ </para>
+ </answer>
+ </qandaentry>
+
+ <qandaentry>
+ <question>
+ <para>
+ The files provided by my <filename>*-native</filename> recipe do
+ not appear to be available to other recipes.
+ Files are missing from the native sysroot, my recipe is
+ installing to the wrong place, or I am getting permissions
+ errors during the do_install task in my recipe! What is wrong?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ This situation results when a build system does
+ not recognize the environment variables supplied to it by
+ <link linkend='bitbake-term'>BitBake</link>.
+ The incident that prompted this FAQ entry involved a Makefile
+ that used an environment variable named
+ <filename>BINDIR</filename> instead of the more standard
+ variable <filename>bindir</filename>.
+ The makefile's hardcoded default value of "/usr/bin" worked
+ most of the time, but not for the recipe's
+ <filename>-native</filename> variant.
+ For another example, permissions errors might be caused
+ by a Makefile that ignores <filename>DESTDIR</filename> or uses
+ a different name for that environment variable.
+ Check the the build system to see if these kinds of

+<title>Migrating to a Newer Yocto Project Release</title>
+

+ This chapter provides information you can use to migrate work to a
+ newer Yocto Project release. You can find the same information in the
+ release notes for a given release.
+ </para>

+<section id='general-migration-considerations'>
+ <title>General Migration Considerations</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Some considerations are not tied to a specific Yocto Project
+ release.
+ This section presents information you should consider when
+ migrating to any new Yocto Project release.
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Dealing with Customized Recipes</emphasis>:
+ Issues could arise if you take older recipes that contain
+ customizations and simply copy them forward expecting them
+ to work after you migrate to new Yocto Project metadata.
+ For example, suppose you have a recipe in your layer that is
+ a customized version of a core recipe copied from the earlier
+ release, rather than through the use of an append file.
+ When you migrate to a newer version of Yocto Project, the
+ metadata (e.g. perhaps an include file used by the recipe)
+ could have changed in a way that would break the build.
+ Say, for example, a function is removed from an include file
+ and the customized recipe tries to call that function.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>You could "forward-port" all your customizations in your
+ recipe so that everything works for the new release.
+ However, this is not the optimal solution as you would have
+ to repeat this process with each new release if changes
+ occur that give rise to problems.</para>
+
+ <para>The better solution (where practical) is to use append
+ files (<filename>*.bbappend</filename>) to capture any
+ customizations you want to make to a recipe.
+ Doing so, isolates your changes from the main recipe making
+ them much more manageable.
+ However, sometimes it is not practical to use an append
+ file.
+ A good example of this is when introducing a newer or older
+ version of a recipe in another layer.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Updating Append Files</emphasis>:
+ Since append files generally only contain your customizations,
+ they often do not need to be adjusted for new releases.
+ However, if the <filename>.bbappend</filename> file is
+ specific to a particular version of the recipe (i.e. its
+ name does not use the % wildcard) and the version of the
+ recipe to which it is appending has changed, then you will
+ at a minimum need to rename the append file to match the
+ name of the recipe file.
+ A mismatch between an append file and its corresponding
+ recipe file (<filename>.bb</filename>) will
+ trigger an error during parsing.</para>
+ <para>Depending on the type of customization the append file
+ applies, other incompatibilities might occur when you
+ upgrade.
+ For example, if your append file applies a patch and the
+ recipe to which it is appending is updated to a newer
+ version, the patch might no longer apply.
+ If this is the case and assuming the patch is still needed,
+ you must modify the patch file so that it does apply.

+
+ <para>
+ The shared state cache (sstate-cache), as pointed to by
+ <link linkend='var-SSTATE_DIR'><filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename></link>,
+ by default now has two-character subdirectories to prevent
+ issues arising from too many files in the same directory.
+ Also, native sstate-cache packages, which are built to run
+ on the host system, will go into a subdirectory named using
+ the distro ID string.
+ If you copy the newly structured sstate-cache to a mirror
+ location (either local or remote) and then point to it in
+ <link linkend='var-SSTATE_MIRRORS'><filename>SSTATE_MIRRORS</filename></link>,
+ you need to append "PATH" to the end of the mirror URL so that
+ the path used by BitBake before the mirror substitution is
+ appended to the path used to access the mirror.

+ All Python functions must now use four spaces for indentation.
+ Previously, an inconsistent mix of spaces and tabs existed,

+ complicated given that Python treats whitespace as
+ syntactically significant.
+ If you are defining or extending any Python functions (e.g.

+ This practice is now a requirement as BitBake's datastore now
+ assumes lower-case characters in order to give a slight performance

+ In practical terms, this requirement means that anything that ends

+ <link linkend='var-OVERRIDES'><filename>OVERRIDES</filename></link>
+ must now appear in lower-case characters (e.g. values for

+
+ <para>
+ The expand parameter to <filename>getVar()</filename> and

+ False if not specified.
+ Now, however, no default exists so one must be specified.
+ You must change any <filename>getVar()</filename> calls that

+ You can run the following <filename>sed</filename> command at the

+ sed -e 's:\(\.getVar([^,()]*\)):\1, False):g' -i `grep -ril getVar *`
+ sed -e 's:\(\.getVarFlag([^,()]*, [^,()]*\)):\1, False):g' -i `grep -ril getVarFlag *`
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ The reason for this change is that it prepares the way for
+ changing the default to True in a future Yocto Project release.
+ This future change is a much more sensible default than False.
+ However, the change needs to be made gradually as a sudden
+ change of the default would potentially cause side-effects

+ The reason for this change is because the

+ <title>Recipe-specific Sysroots</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The OpenEmbedded build system now uses one sysroot per
+ recipe to resolve long-standing issues with configuration
+ script auto-detection of undeclared dependencies.
+ Consequently, you might find that some of your previously
+ written custom recipes are missing declared dependencies,
+ particularly those dependencies that are incidentally built
+ earlier in a typical build process and thus are already likely
+ to be present in the shared sysroot in previous releases.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Consider the following:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Declare Build-Time Dependencies:</emphasis>
+ Because of this new feature, you must explicitly
+ declare all build-time dependencies for your recipe.
+ If you do not declare these dependencies, they are not
+ populated into the sysroot for the recipe.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Specify Pre-Installation and Post-Installation

+ You must specifically specify any special native tool
+ dependencies of <filename>pkg_preinst</filename> and
+ <filename>pkg_postinst</filename> scripts by using the
+ <link linkend='var-PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS'><filename>PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ Specifying these dependencies ensures that these tools
+ are available if these scripts need to be run on the
+ build host during the
+ <link linkend='ref-tasks-rootfs'><filename>do_rootfs</filename></link>
+ task.</para>
+
+ <para>As an example, see the <filename>dbus</filename>
+ recipe.
+ You will see that this recipe has a
+ <filename>pkg_postinst</filename> that calls
+ <filename>systemctl</filename> if "systemd" is in
+ <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename></link>.
+ In the example,
+ <filename>systemd-systemctl-native</filename> is added to
+ <filename>PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS</filename>, which is also

+
+ <para>Functions added to
+ <filename>SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS</filename> are still
+ called as they were in previous Yocto Project releases.
+ However, since a separate sysroot is now being populated
+ for every recipe and if existing functions being called
+ through <filename>SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS</filename> are
+ doing relocation, then you will need to change these
+ to use a post-installation script that is installed by a
+ function added to
+ <link linkend='var-SYSROOT_PREPROCESS_FUNCS'><filename>SYSROOT_PREPROCESS_FUNCS</filename></link>.

+ <note>
+ The <filename>SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS</filename> variable
+ itself is now deprecated in favor of the
+ <filename>do_populate_sysroot[postfuncs]</filename>
+ task.
+ Consequently, if you do still have any function or
+ functions that need to be called after the sysroot
+ component is created for a recipe, then you would be
+ well advised to take steps to use a post installation
+ script as described previously.
+ Taking these steps prepares your code for when

+ OPKG now uses the libsolv backend for resolving package
+ dependencies by default.
+ This is vastly superior to OPKG's internal ad-hoc solver
+ that was previously used.
+ This change does have a small impact on disk (around
+ 500 KB) and memory footprint.

+ <title>npm fetcher changes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The npm fetcher has been completely reworked in this release. The npm fetcher now only fetches the package source itself and no longer the dependencies; there is now also an npmsw fetcher which explicitly fetches the shrinkwrap file and the dependencies. This removes the slightly awkward <filename>NPM_LOCKDOWN</filename> and <filename>NPM_SHRINKWRAP</filename> variables which pointed to local files; the lockdown file is no longer needed at all. Additionally, the package name in <filename>npm://</filename> entries in <link linkend='var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></link> is now specified using a <filename>package</filename> parameter instead of the earlier <filename>name</filename> which overlapped with the generic <filename>name</filename> parameter. All recipes using the npm fetcher will need to be changed as a result.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ An example of the new scheme:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+SRC_URI = "npm://registry.npmjs.org;package=array-flatten;version=1.1.1 \
+ npmsw://${THISDIR}/npm-shrinkwrap.json"
+ </literallayout>
+ Another example where the sources are fetched from git rather than an npm repository:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+SRC_URI = "git://github.com/foo/bar.git;protocol=https \
+ npmsw://${THISDIR}/npm-shrinkwrap.json"
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ devtool and recipetool have also been updated to match with the npm fetcher changes. Other than producing working and more complete recipes for npm sources, there is also a minor change to the command line for devtool: the <filename>--fetch-dev</filename> option has been renamed to <filename>--npm-dev</filename> as it is npm-specific.

+<title>Classes</title>
+
+<para>
+ Class files are used to abstract common functionality and share it amongst
+ multiple recipe (<filename>.bb</filename>) files.
+ To use a class file, you simply make sure the recipe inherits the class.
+ In most cases, when a recipe inherits a class it is enough to enable its
+ features.
+ There are cases, however, where in the recipe you might need to set
+ variables or override some default behavior.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+ Any <link linkend='metadata'>Metadata</link> usually
+ found in a recipe can also be placed in a class file.
+ Class files are identified by the extension <filename>.bbclass</filename>
+ and are usually placed in a <filename>classes/</filename> directory beneath
+ the <filename>meta*/</filename> directory found in the
+ <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>.
+ Class files can also be pointed to by
+ <link linkend='var-BUILDDIR'><filename>BUILDDIR</filename></link>
+ (e.g. <filename>build/</filename>) in the same way as
+ <filename>.conf</filename> files in the <filename>conf</filename> directory.

+ The class disables functionality that is normally needed for recipes
+ that produce executable binaries (such as building the cross-compiler
+ and a C library as pre-requisites, and splitting out of debug symbols
+ during packaging).
+ <note>
+ <para>Unlike some distro recipes (e.g. Debian), OpenEmbedded recipes

+ <link linkend='var-TUNE_PKGARCH'><filename>TUNE_PKGARCH</filename></link>
+ variables, should never be configured for all architectures
+ using <filename>allarch</filename>.
+ This is the case even if the recipes do not produce
+ architecture-specific output.</para>
+ <para>Configuring such recipes for all architectures causes the
+ <link linkend='ref-tasks-package_write_deb'><filename>do_package_write_*</filename></link>
+ tasks to have different signatures for the machines with different

+ If the software being built by a recipe does not support

+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>bin_package</filename> class is a

+ (e.g. an RPM) and install those contents rather than building the
+ binary from source.
+ The binary package is extracted and new packages in the configured
+ output package format are created.
+ Extraction and installation of proprietary binaries is a good example
+ use for this class.
+ <note>
+ For RPMs and other packages that do not contain a subdirectory,
+ you should specify an appropriate fetcher parameter to point to
+ the subdirectory.
+ For example, if BitBake is using the Git fetcher
+ (<filename>git://</filename>), the "subpath" parameter limits
+ the checkout to a specific subpath of the tree.
+ Here is an example where <filename>${BP}</filename> is used so that
+ the files are extracted into the subdirectory expected by the
+ default value of
+ <link linkend='var-S'><filename>S</filename></link>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ Before <filename>pkg-config</filename> had become widespread, libraries

+ The package-specific class you choose can affect build-time performance
+ and has space ramifications.
+ In general, building a package with IPK takes about thirty percent less
+ time as compared to using RPM to build the same or similar package.
+ This comparison takes into account a complete build of the package with
+ all dependencies previously built.
+ The reason for this discrepancy is because the RPM package manager
+ creates and processes more
+ <link linkend='metadata'>Metadata</link> than the
+ IPK package manager.
+ Consequently, you might consider setting
+ <filename>PACKAGE_CLASSES</filename> to "package_ipk" if you are
+ building smaller systems.

+
+ <para>
+ Before making your package manager decision, however, you should
+ consider some further things about using RPM:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ RPM starts to provide more abilities than IPK due to

+
+ <para>
+ The OpenEmbedded build system can use a substantial amount of disk

+ for inspection and possible debugging purposes.
+ If you would rather have these files deleted to save disk space
+ as the build progresses, you can enable <filename>rm_work</filename>
+ by adding the following to your <filename>local.conf</filename> file,

+ The code in the <filename>staging</filename> class is complex and

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Stage One:</emphasis>
+ The first stage addresses recipes that have files they want
+ to share with other recipes that have dependencies on the
+ originating recipe.
+ Normally these dependencies are installed through the
+ <link linkend='ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></link>
+ task into
+ <filename>${</filename><link linkend='var-D'><filename>D</filename></link><filename>}</filename>.
+ The <filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename> task copies

+ <link linkend='var-SYSROOT_DIRS'><filename>SYSROOT_DIRS</filename></link>,

+ and
+ <link linkend='var-SYSROOT_DIRS_BLACKLIST'><filename>SYSROOT_DIRS_BLACKLIST</filename></link>
+ variables.
+ <note>
+ Additionally, a recipe can customize the files further by
+ declaring a processing function in the
+ <link linkend='var-SYSROOT_PREPROCESS_FUNCS'><filename>SYSROOT_PREPROCESS_FUNCS</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A shared state (sstate) object is built from these files
+ and the files are placed into a subdirectory of
+ <link linkend='structure-build-tmp-sysroots-components'><filename>tmp/sysroots-components/</filename></link>.
+ The files are scanned for hardcoded paths to the original
+ installation location.
+ If the location is found in text files, the hardcoded
+ locations are replaced by tokens and a list of the files
+ needing such replacements is created.
+ These adjustments are referred to as "FIXMEs".
+ The list of files that are scanned for paths is controlled by
+ the
+ <link linkend='var-SSTATE_SCAN_FILES'><filename>SSTATE_SCAN_FILES</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Stage Two:</emphasis>
+ The second stage addresses recipes that want to use something
+ from another recipe and declare a dependency on that recipe
+ through the
+ <link linkend='var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></link>
+ variable.
+ The recipe will have a
+ <link linkend='ref-tasks-prepare_recipe_sysroot'><filename>do_prepare_recipe_sysroot</filename></link>
+ task and when
+ this task executes, it creates the
+ <filename>recipe-sysroot</filename> and
+ <filename>recipe-sysroot-native</filename> in the recipe
+ work directory (i.e.
+ <link linkend='var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></link>).
+ The OpenEmbedded build system creates hard links to copies of the
+ relevant files from <filename>sysroots-components</filename>
+ into the recipe work directory.
+ <note>
+ If hard links are not possible, the build system uses
+ actual copies.
+ </note>
+ The build system then addresses any "FIXMEs" to paths as
+ defined from the list created in the first stage.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Finally, any files in <filename>${bindir}</filename>
+ within the sysroot that have the prefix
+ "<filename>postinst-</filename>" are executed.
+ <note>
+ Although such sysroot post installation scripts are not
+ recommended for general use, the files do allow some issues
+ such as user creation and module indexes to be addressed.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Because recipes can have other dependencies outside of
+ <filename>DEPENDS</filename> (e.g.
+ <filename>do_unpack[depends] += "tar-native:do_populate_sysroot"</filename>),
+ the sysroot creation function
+ <filename>extend_recipe_sysroot</filename> is also added as
+ a pre-function for those tasks whose dependencies are not
+ through <filename>DEPENDS</filename> but operate similarly.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When installing dependencies into the sysroot, the code
+ traverses the dependency graph and processes dependencies
+ in exactly the same way as the dependencies would or would not
+ be when installed from sstate.
+ This processing means, for example, a native tool would have
+ its native dependencies added but a target library would not
+ have its dependencies traversed or installed.
+ The same sstate dependency code is used so that
+ builds should be identical regardless of whether sstate
+ was used or not.
+ For a closer look, see the
+ <filename>setscene_depvalid()</filename> function in the
+ <link linkend='ref-classes-sstate'><filename>sstate</filename></link>
+ class.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The build system is careful to maintain manifests of the files
+ it installs so that any given dependency can be installed as
+ needed.
+ The sstate hash of the installed item is also stored so that
+ if it changes, the build system can reinstall it.

+ With this class enabled, a tarball containing a pre-built C library
+ is downloaded at the start of the build.
+ In the Poky reference distribution this is enabled by default
+ through
+ <filename>meta/conf/distro/include/yocto-uninative.inc</filename>.
+ Other distributions that do not derive from poky can also
+ "<filename>require conf/distro/include/yocto-uninative.inc</filename>"
+ to use this.
+ Alternatively if you prefer, you can build the uninative-tarball recipe
+ yourself, publish the resulting tarball (e.g. via HTTP) and set

+<section id='ref-classes-update-alternatives'>
+ <title><filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename></title>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>update-alternatives</filename> class helps the
+ alternatives system when multiple sources provide the same command.
+ This situation occurs when several programs that have the same or
+ similar function are installed with the same name.
+ For example, the <filename>ar</filename> command is available from the
+ <filename>busybox</filename>, <filename>binutils</filename> and
+ <filename>elfutils</filename> packages.
+ The <filename>update-alternatives</filename> class handles
+ renaming the binaries so that multiple packages can be installed
+ without conflicts.
+ The <filename>ar</filename> command still works regardless of which
+ packages are installed or subsequently removed.
+ The class renames the conflicting binary in each package and symlinks
+ the highest priority binary during installation or removal of packages.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To use this class, you need to define a number of variables:
+ <itemizedlist>

+ These variables list alternative commands needed by a package,
+ provide pathnames for links, default links for targets, and
+ so forth.

+<section id='ref-classes-useradd'>
+ <title><filename>useradd*.bbclass</filename></title>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>useradd*</filename> classes support the addition of users
+ or groups for usage by the package on the target.
+ For example, if you have packages that contain system services that
+ should be run under their own user or group, you can use these classes
+ to enable creation of the user or group.
+ The
+ <filename>meta-skeleton/recipes-skeleton/useradd/useradd-example.bb</filename>
+ recipe in the <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>
+ provides a simple example that shows how to add three
+ users and groups to two packages.
+ See the <filename>useradd-example.bb</filename> recipe for more
+ information on how to use these classes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>useradd_base</filename> class provides basic

+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>useradd-staticids</filename> class supports the addition
+ of users or groups that have static user identification
+ (<filename>uid</filename>) and group identification
+ (<filename>gid</filename>) values.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The default behavior of the OpenEmbedded build system for assigning
+ <filename>uid</filename> and <filename>gid</filename> values when
+ packages add users and groups during package install time is to
+ add them dynamically.
+ This works fine for programs that do not care what the values of the
+ resulting users and groups become.
+ In these cases, the order of the installation determines the final
+ <filename>uid</filename> and <filename>gid</filename> values.
+ However, if non-deterministic
+ <filename>uid</filename> and <filename>gid</filename> values are a
+ problem, you can override the default, dynamic application of these
+ values by setting static values.
+ When you set static values, the OpenEmbedded build system looks in
+ <link linkend='var-BBPATH'><filename>BBPATH</filename></link> for
+ <filename>files/passwd</filename> and <filename>files/group</filename>
+ files for the values.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To use static <filename>uid</filename> and <filename>gid</filename>
+ values, you need to set some variables.

+ You can also see the
+ <link linkend='ref-classes-useradd'><filename>useradd</filename></link>
+ class for additional information.
+ </para>
+
+ <note><title>Notes</title>
+ You do not use the <filename>useradd-staticids</filename>
+ class directly.
+ You either enable or disable the class by setting the
+ <filename>USERADDEXTENSION</filename> variable.
+ If you enable or disable the class in a configured system,
+ <link linkend='var-TMPDIR'><filename>TMPDIR</filename></link>
+ might contain incorrect <filename>uid</filename> and

+ This command is very similar to the

+ command except that it does not physically create the
+ recipe in the workspace layer because the recipe already
+ exists in an another layer.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>devtool modify</filename> command extracts the
+ source for a recipe, sets it up as a Git repository if the
+ source had not already been fetched from Git, checks out a
+ branch for development, and applies any patches from the recipe
+ as commits on top.
+ You can use the following command to checkout the source
+ files:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ devtool modify <replaceable>recipe</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ Using the above command form, <filename>devtool</filename> uses
+ the existing recipe's
+ <link linkend='var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></link>
+ statement to locate the upstream source, extracts the source
+ into the default sources location in the workspace.
+ The default development branch used is "devtool".

+ <filename>EDITOR</filename> variable, on the specified recipe.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you use the <filename>devtool edit-recipe</filename>
+ command, you must supply the root name of the recipe
+ (i.e. no version, paths, or extensions).
+ Also, the recipe file itself must reside in the workspace
+ as a result of the <filename>devtool add</filename> or
+ <filename>devtool upgrade</filename> commands.
+ However, you can override that requirement by using the
+ "-a" or "--any-recipe" option.

+
+ <section id='devtool-updating-a-recipe'>
+ <title>Updating a Recipe</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Use the <filename>devtool update-recipe</filename> command to
+ update your recipe with patches that reflect changes you make
+ to the source files.
+ For example, if you know you are going to work on some
+ code, you could first use the
+ <link linkend='devtool-modifying-a-recipe'><filename>devtool modify</filename></link>
+ command to extract the code and set up the workspace.
+ After which, you could modify, compile, and test the code.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you are satisfied with the results and you have committed
+ your changes to the Git repository, you can then
+ run the <filename>devtool update-recipe</filename> to create the
+ patches and update the recipe:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ devtool update-recipe <replaceable>recipe</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ If you run the <filename>devtool update-recipe</filename>
+ without committing your changes, the command ignores the
+ changes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Often, you might want to apply customizations made to your
+ software in your own layer rather than apply them to the
+ original recipe.
+ If so, you can use the
+ <filename>-a</filename> or <filename>--append</filename>
+ option with the <filename>devtool update-recipe</filename>
+ command.
+ These options allow you to specify the layer into which to
+ write an append file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ devtool update-recipe <replaceable>recipe</replaceable> -a <replaceable>base-layer-directory</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ The <filename>*.bbappend</filename> file is created at the
+ appropriate path within the specified layer directory, which
+ may or may not be in your <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>
+ file.
+ If an append file already exists, the command updates it
+ appropriately.

+ The <filename>devtool upgrade</filename> command
+ upgrades an existing recipe to a more recent version of the
+ recipe upstream.
+ The command puts the upgraded recipe file along with any associated
+ files into a "workspace" and, if necessary, extracts the source
+ tree to a specified location.
+ During the upgrade, patches associated with the recipe are
+ rebased or added as needed.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you use the <filename>devtool upgrade</filename> command,
+ you must supply the root name of the recipe (i.e. no version,

+ to which you want the source extracted.
+ Additional command options let you control things such as
+ the version number to which you want to upgrade (i.e. the
+ <link linkend='var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link>),
+ the source revision to which you want to upgrade (i.e. the

+ <filename>poky-lsb.conf</filename> and so forth.
+ Machine features are set in the
+ <filename><link linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES'>MACHINE_FEATURES</link></filename>
+ variable, which is set in the machine configuration file and
+ specifies the hardware features for a given machine.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ These two variables combine to work out which kernel modules,

+ <title>Feature Backfilling</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Sometimes it is necessary in the OpenEmbedded build system to extend
+ <link linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES'><filename>MACHINE_FEATURES</filename></link>
+ or <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename></link>
+ to control functionality that was previously enabled and not able
+ to be disabled.
+ For these cases, we need to add an
+ additional feature item to appear in one of these variables,
+ but we do not want to force developers who have existing values
+ of the variables in their configuration to add the new feature
+ in order to retain the same overall level of functionality.
+ Thus, the OpenEmbedded build system has a mechanism to
+ automatically "backfill" these added features into existing
+ distro or machine configurations.
+ You can see the list of features for which this is done by
+ finding the
+ <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL</filename></link>
+ and <link linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL'><filename>MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL</filename></link>
+ variables in the <filename>meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename> file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Because such features are backfilled by default into all
+ configurations as described in the previous paragraph, developers
+ who wish to disable the new features need to be able to selectively
+ prevent the backfilling from occurring.
+ They can do this by adding the undesired feature or features to the
+ <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED</filename></link>
+ or <link linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED'><filename>MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED</filename></link>
+ variables for distro features and machine features respectively.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Here are two examples to help illustrate feature backfilling:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>The "pulseaudio" distro feature option</emphasis>:
+ Previously, PulseAudio support was enabled within the Qt and
+ GStreamer frameworks.
+ Because of this, the feature is backfilled and thus
+ enabled for all distros through the
+ <filename>DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL</filename>
+ variable in the <filename>meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename> file.
+ However, your distro needs to disable the feature.
+ You can disable the feature without affecting
+ other existing distro configurations that need PulseAudio support
+ by adding "pulseaudio" to
+ <filename>DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED</filename>
+ in your distro's <filename>.conf</filename> file.
+ Adding the feature to this variable when it also
+ exists in the <filename>DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL</filename>
+ variable prevents the build system from adding the feature to
+ your configuration's <filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename>, effectively disabling
+ the feature for that particular distro.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>The "rtc" machine feature option</emphasis>:
+ Previously, real time clock (RTC) support was enabled for all
+ target devices.
+ Because of this, the feature is backfilled and thus enabled
+ for all machines through the <filename>MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL</filename>
+ variable in the <filename>meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename> file.
+ However, your target device does not have this capability.
+ You can disable RTC support for your device without
+ affecting other machines that need RTC support
+ by adding the feature to your machine's
+ <filename>MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED</filename>
+ list in the machine's <filename>.conf</filename> file.
+ Adding the feature to this variable when it also
+ exists in the <filename>MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL</filename>

+ The current Wic implementation supports only the basic kickstart
+ partitioning commands:
+ <filename>partition</filename> (or <filename>part</filename>
+ for short) and <filename>bootloader</filename>.
+ <note>
+ Future updates will implement more commands and options.
+ If you use anything that is not specifically supported, results

+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This chapter provides a reference on the available kickstart
+ commands.
+ The information lists the commands, their syntax, and meanings.
+ Kickstart commands are based on the Fedora kickstart versions but
+ with modifications to reflect Wic capabilities.
+ You can see the original documentation for those commands at the
+ following link:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <ulink url='http://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html'>http://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html</ulink>

+ </section>
+
+ <section id='command-part-or-partition'>
+ <title>Command: part or partition</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Either of these commands creates a partition on the system and uses
+ the following syntax:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ part [<replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable>]
+ partition [<replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable>]
+ </literallayout>
+ If you do not provide <replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable>, Wic
+ creates a partition but does not mount it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename><replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable></filename> is
+ where the partition is mounted and must be in one of the
+ following forms:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <filename>/<replaceable>path</replaceable></filename>:
+ For example, "/", "/usr", or "/home"
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <filename>swap</filename>:
+ The created partition is used as swap space
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Specifying a <replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable> causes the
+ partition to automatically be mounted.
+ Wic achieves this by adding entries to the filesystem table (fstab)
+ during image generation.
+ In order for Wic to generate a valid fstab, you must also provide
+ one of the <filename>--ondrive</filename>,
+ <filename>--ondisk</filename>, or
+ <filename>--use-uuid</filename> partition options as part of the
+ command.
+ <note>
+ The mount program must understand the PARTUUID syntax you use
+ with <filename>--use-uuid</filename> and non-root
+ <replaceable>mountpoint</replaceable>, including swap.
+ The busybox versions of these application are currently
+ excluded.
+ </note>
+ Here is an example that uses "/" as the
+ <replaceable>mountpoint</replaceable>.
+ The command uses <filename>--ondisk</filename> to force the
+ partition onto the

+ command-line option.
+ The filesystem type used to create the partition is driven

+ When building a recipe, the OpenEmbedded build system performs
+ various QA checks on the output to ensure that common issues are
+ detected and reported.
+ Sometimes when you create a new recipe to build new software,
+ it will build with no problems.
+ When this is not the case, or when you have QA issues building any
+ software, it could take a little time to resolve them.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ While it is tempting to ignore a QA message or even to
+ disable QA checks, it is best to try and resolve any
+ reported QA issues.
+ This chapter provides a list of the QA messages and brief explanations
+ of the issues you could encounter so that you can properly resolve
+ problems.

+<title>Yocto Project Releases and the Stable Release Process</title>
+
+<para>
+ The Yocto Project release process is predictable and consists of both
+ major and minor (point) releases.
+ This brief chapter provides information on how releases are named, their
+ life cycle, and their stability.
+</para>
+
+<section id='major-and-minor-release-cadence'>
+ <title>Major and Minor Release Cadence</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project delivers major releases (e.g. &DISTRO;) using a six
+ month cadence roughly timed each April and October of the year.
+ Following are examples of some major YP releases with their codenames
+ also shown.
+ See the
+ "<link linkend='major-release-codenames'>Major Release Codenames</link>"
+ section for information on codenames used with major releases.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ 2.2 (Morty)
+ 2.1 (Krogoth)
+ 2.0 (Jethro)
+ </literallayout>
+ While the cadence is never perfect, this timescale facilitates
+ regular releases that have strong QA cycles while not overwhelming
+ users with too many new releases.
+ The cadence is predictable and avoids many major holidays in various
+ geographies.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The Yocto project delivers minor (point) releases on an unscheduled
+ basis and are usually driven by the accumulation of enough significant
+ fixes or enhancements to the associated major release.
+ Following are some example past point releases:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ 2.1.1
+ 2.1.2
+ 2.2.1
+ </literallayout>
+ The point release indicates a point in the major release branch where
+ a full QA cycle and release process validates the content of the new
+ branch.
+ <note>
+ Realize that there can be patches merged onto the stable release
+ branches as and when they become available.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+</section>
+
+<section id='major-release-codenames'>
+ <title>Major Release Codenames</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Each major release receives a codename that identifies the release in
+ the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#yocto-project-repositories'>Yocto Project Source Repositories</ulink>.
+ The concept is that branches of
+ <link linkend='metadata'>Metadata</link>
+ with the same codename are likely to be compatible and thus
+ work together.
+ <note>
+ Codenames are associated with major releases because a Yocto
+ Project release number (e.g. &DISTRO;) could conflict with
+ a given layer or company versioning scheme.
+ Codenames are unique, interesting, and easily identifiable.
+ </note>
+ Releases are given a nominal release version as well but the codename
+ is used in repositories for this reason.
+ You can find information on Yocto Project releases and codenames at
+ <ulink url='https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases'></ulink>.
+ </para>
+</section>
+
+<section id='stable-release-process'>
+ <title>Stable Release Process</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Once released, the release enters the stable release process at which
+ time a person is assigned as the maintainer for that stable release.
+ This maintainer monitors activity for the release by investigating
+ and handling nominated patches and backport activity.
+ Only fixes and enhancements that have first been applied on the
+ "master" branch (i.e. the current, in-development branch) are
+ considered for backporting to a stable release.
+ <note>
+ The current Yocto Project policy regarding backporting is to
+ consider bug fixes and security fixes only.
+ Policy dictates that features are not backported to a stable
+ release.
+ This policy means generic recipe version upgrades are unlikely to
+ be accepted for backporting.
+ The exception to this policy occurs when a strong reason exists
+ such as the fix happens to also be the preferred upstream approach.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Stable release branches have strong maintenance for about a year after
+ their initial release.
+ Should significant issues be found for any release regardless of its
+ age, fixes could be backported to older releases.
+ For issues that are not backported given an older release,
+ Community LTS trees and branches exist where
+ community members share patches for older releases.
+ However, these types of patches do not go through the same release
+ process as do point releases.
+ You can find more information about stable branch maintenance at
+ <ulink url='https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Stable_branch_maintenance'></ulink>.

+<section id='testing-and-quality-assurance'>
+ <title>Testing and Quality Assurance</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Part of the Yocto Project development and release process is quality
+ assurance through the execution of test strategies.
+ Test strategies provide the Yocto Project team a way to ensure a
+ release is validated.
+ Additionally, because the test strategies are visible to you as a
+ developer, you can validate your projects.
+ This section overviews the available test infrastructure used in the
+ Yocto Project.
+ For information on how to run available tests on your projects, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#performing-automated-runtime-testing'>Performing Automated Runtime Testing</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The QA/testing infrastructure is woven into the project to the point
+ where core developers take some of it for granted.
+ The infrastructure consists of the following pieces:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <filename>bitbake-selftest</filename>:
+ A standalone command that runs unit tests on key pieces of
+ BitBake and its fetchers.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <link linkend='ref-classes-sanity'><filename>sanity.bbclass</filename></link>:
+ This automatically included class checks the build environment
+ for missing tools (e.g. <filename>gcc</filename>) or common
+ misconfigurations such as
+ <link linkend='var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></link>
+ set incorrectly.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <link linkend='ref-classes-insane'><filename>insane.bbclass</filename></link>:
+ This class checks the generated output from builds for sanity.
+ For example, if building for an ARM target, did the build
+ produce ARM binaries.
+ If, for example, the build produced PPC binaries then there
+ is a problem.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <link linkend='ref-classes-testimage*'><filename>testimage.bbclass</filename></link>:
+ This class performs runtime testing of images after they are
+ built.
+ The tests are usually used with
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#dev-manual-qemu'>QEMU</ulink>
+ to boot the images and check the combined runtime result
+ boot operation and functions.
+ However, the test can also use the IP address of a machine to
+ test.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#testing-packages-with-ptest'><filename>ptest</filename></ulink>:

+ image.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <filename>oe-selftest</filename>:
+ Tests combination BitBake invocations.
+ These tests operate outside the OpenEmbedded build system
+ itself.
+ The <filename>oe-selftest</filename> can run all tests by
+ default or can run selected tests or test suites.
+ <note>
+ Running <filename>oe-selftest</filename> requires
+ host packages beyond the "Essential" grouping.
+ See the
+ "<link linkend='required-packages-for-the-build-host'>Required Packages for the Build Host</link>"
+ section for more information.
+ </note>
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Originally, much of this testing was done manually.
+ However, significant effort has been made to automate the tests so
+ that more people can use them and the Yocto Project development team
+ can run them faster and more efficiently.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The Yocto Project's main Autobuilder
+ (<filename>autobuilder.yoctoproject.org</filename>) publicly tests
+ each Yocto Project release's code in the
+ <link linkend='oe-core'>OE-Core</link>, Poky, and BitBake
+ repositories.
+ The testing occurs for both the current state of the
+ "master" branch and also for submitted patches.
+ Testing for submitted patches usually occurs in the
+ "ross/mut" branch in the <filename>poky-contrib</filename> repository
+ (i.e. the master-under-test branch) or in the "master-next" branch
+ in the <filename>poky</filename> repository.
+ <note>
+ You can find all these branches in the Yocto Project
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#source-repositories'>Source Repositories</ulink>.
+ </note>
+ Testing within these public branches ensures in a publicly visible way
+ that all of the main supposed architectures and recipes in OE-Core
+ successfully build and behave properly.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Various features such as <filename>multilib</filename>, sub
+ architectures (e.g. <filename>x32</filename>,
+ <filename>poky-tiny</filename>, <filename>musl</filename>,
+ <filename>no-x11</filename> and and so forth),
+ <filename>bitbake-selftest</filename>, and
+ <filename>oe-selftest</filename> are tested as part of
+ the QA process of a release.
+ Complete testing and validation for a release takes the Autobuilder
+ workers several hours.
+ <note>
+ The Autobuilder workers are non-homogeneous, which means regular
+ testing across a variety of Linux distributions occurs.
+ The Autobuilder is limited to only testing QEMU-based setups and
+ not real hardware.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Finally, in addition to the Autobuilder's tests, the Yocto Project
+ QA team also performs testing on a variety of platforms, which includes
+ actual hardware, to ensure expected results.
+ </para>

+ When you run this script, your Yocto Project environment is set
+ up, a
+ <link linkend='build-directory'>Build Directory</link>
+ is created, your working directory becomes the Build Directory,
+ and you are presented with some simple suggestions as to what to do
+ next, including a list of some possible targets to build.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ source oe-init-build-env
+
+ ### Shell environment set up for builds. ###
+
+ You can now run 'bitbake <target>'
+
+ Common targets are:
+ core-image-minimal
+ core-image-sato
+ meta-toolchain
+ meta-ide-support
+
+ You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86-64'
+ </literallayout>

+ is from the <filename>conf-notes.txt</filename> file, which is found in the
+ <filename>meta-poky</filename> directory within the
+ <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>.
+ If you design a custom distribution, you can include your own version
+ of this configuration file to mention the targets defined by your
+ distribution.

+ By default, running this script without a Build Directory
+ argument creates the <filename>build/</filename> directory
+ in your current working directory.
+ If you provide a Build Directory argument when you
+ <filename>source</filename> the script, you direct the OpenEmbedded
+ build system to create a Build Directory of your choice.
+ For example, the following command creates a Build Directory named
+ <filename>mybuilds/</filename> that is outside of the
+ <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ source &OE_INIT_FILE; ~/mybuilds

+ The OpenEmbedded build system does not support file or directory names that

+ If you attempt to run the <filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename> script

+ <section id='structure-meta-classes'>
+ <title><filename>meta/classes/</filename></title>
+
+ <para>
+ This directory contains the <filename>*.bbclass</filename> files.
+ Class files are used to abstract common code so it can be reused by multiple
+ packages.
+ Every package inherits the <filename>base.bbclass</filename> file.
+ Examples of other important classes are <filename>autotools.bbclass</filename>, which
+ in theory allows any Autotool-enabled package to work with the Yocto Project with minimal effort.
+ Another example is <filename>kernel.bbclass</filename> that contains common code and functions
+ for working with the Linux kernel.
+ Functions like image generation or packaging also have their specific class files
+ such as <filename>image.bbclass</filename>, <filename>rootfs_*.bbclass</filename> and
+ <filename>package*.bbclass</filename>.

+ <para>
+ This directory contains the core set of configuration files that start from
+ <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> and from which all other configuration

+ See the include statements at the end of the
+ <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> file and you will note that even
+ <filename>local.conf</filename> is loaded from there.
+ While <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> sets up the defaults, you can often override

+
+ <para>
+ This directory contains all the machine configuration files.
+ If you set <filename>MACHINE = "qemux86"</filename>,
+ the OpenEmbedded build system looks for a <filename>qemux86.conf</filename> file in this

+ The <filename>include</filename> directory contains various data common to multiple machines.

+ For the Yocto Project, the <filename>defaultsetup.conf</filename> is the main file here.
+ This directory includes the versions and the

+ By default, 32-bit and 64-bit x86 files ship with the Yocto

+ Rather, use this manual to find variable definitions, class
+ descriptions, and so forth as needed during the course of using
+ the Yocto Project.

+ Building and running your own buildtools installer applies

+ In this case, you use that machine to build the

+ take steps to transfer and run it on a
+ machine that does not meet the minimal Git, tar, and Python
+ (or gcc) requirements.

+ Here are the steps to take to build and run your own
+ buildtools installer:
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ On the machine that is able to run BitBake,

+ $ bitbake buildtools-extended-tarball
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ The
+ <link linkend='var-SDKMACHINE'><filename>SDKMACHINE</filename></link>

+ </note>
+ Once the build completes, you can find the
+ <filename>.sh</filename> file that installs
+ the tools in the <filename>tmp/deploy/sdk</filename>
+ subdirectory of the
+ <link linkend='build-directory'>Build Directory</link>.
+ The installer file has the string "buildtools"
+ (or "buildtools-extended") in the name.

+ <para>
+ After fetching and unpacking source files, the build system
+ uses the recipe's
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+ statements to locate and apply patch files to the source code.
+ <note>
+ The build system uses the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESPATH'><filename>FILESPATH</filename></ulink>
+ variable to determine the default set of directories when
+ searching for patches.
+ </note>
+ Patch files, by default, are <filename>*.patch</filename> and
+ <filename>*.diff</filename> files created and kept in a
+ subdirectory of the directory holding the recipe file.
+ For example, consider the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-connectivity/bluez5'><filename>bluez5</filename></ulink>
+ recipe from the OE-Core layer (i.e.
+ <filename>poky/meta</filename>):
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ poky/meta/recipes-connectivity/bluez5
+ </literallayout>
+ This recipe has two patch files located here:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ poky/meta/recipes-connectivity/bluez5/bluez5
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In the <filename>bluez5</filename> recipe, the
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statements point to the source and
+ patch files needed to build the package.
+ <note>
+ In the case for the <filename>bluez5_5.48.bb</filename>
+ recipe, the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statements are from an
+ include file <filename>bluez5.inc</filename>.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As mentioned earlier, the build system treats files whose file
+ types are <filename>.patch</filename> and
+ <filename>.diff</filename> as patch files.
+ However, you can use the "apply=yes" parameter with the
+ <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement to indicate any file as a
+ patch file:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI = " \
+ git://<replaceable>path_to_repo</replaceable>/<replaceable>some_package</replaceable> \
+ file://<replaceable>file</replaceable>;apply=yes \
+ "
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Conversely, if you have a directory full of patch files and you
+ want to exclude some so that the <filename>do_patch</filename>
+ task does not apply them during the patch phase, you can use
+ the "apply=no" parameter with the <filename>SRC_URI</filename>
+ statement:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SRC_URI = " \
+ git://<replaceable>path_to_repo</replaceable>/<replaceable>some_package</replaceable> \
+ file://<replaceable>path_to_lots_of_patch_files</replaceable> \
+ file://<replaceable>path_to_lots_of_patch_files</replaceable>/<replaceable>patch_file5</replaceable>;apply=no \
+ "
+ </literallayout>
+ In the previous example, assuming all the files in the directory
+ holding the patch files end with either <filename>.patch</filename>
+ or <filename>.diff</filename>, every file would be applied as a
+ patch by default except for the
+ <replaceable>patch_file5</replaceable> patch.

+<title>Yocto Project Terms</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Following is a list of terms and definitions users new to the Yocto
+ Project development environment might find helpful.
+ While some of these terms are universal, the list includes them
+ just in case:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Append Files:</emphasis>
+ Files that append build information to a recipe file.
+ Append files are known as BitBake append files and
+ <filename>.bbappend</filename> files.
+ The OpenEmbedded build system expects every append file to have
+ a corresponding recipe (<filename>.bb</filename>) file.
+ Furthermore, the append file and corresponding recipe file
+ must use the same root filename.
+ The filenames can differ only in the file type suffix used
+ (e.g.
+ <filename>formfactor_0.0.bb</filename> and
+ <filename>formfactor_0.0.bbappend</filename>).</para>
+
+ <para>Information in append files extends or overrides the
+ information in the similarly-named recipe file.
+ For an example of an append file in use, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#using-bbappend-files'>Using .bbappend Files in Your Layer</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.</para>
+
+ <para>When you name an append file, you can use the
+ "<filename>%</filename>" wildcard character to allow for
+ matching recipe names.
+ For example, suppose you have an append file named as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ busybox_1.21.%.bbappend
+ </literallayout>
+ That append file would match any
+ <filename>busybox_1.21.</filename><replaceable>x</replaceable><filename>.bb</filename>
+ version of the recipe.
+ So, the append file would match any of the following recipe names:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ busybox_1.21.1.bb
+ busybox_1.21.2.bb
+ busybox_1.21.3.bb
+ busybox_1.21.10.bb
+ busybox_1.21.25.bb
+ </literallayout>
+ <note><title>Important</title>
+ The use of the "<filename>%</filename>" character
+ is limited in that it only works directly in front of the
+ <filename>.bbappend</filename> portion of the append file's
+ name.
+ You cannot use the wildcard character in any other
+ location of the name.
+ </note>

+ <emphasis>Build Directory:</emphasis>
+ This term refers to the area used by the OpenEmbedded build

+ The area is created when you <filename>source</filename> the

+ The
+ <link linkend='var-TOPDIR'><filename>TOPDIR</filename></link>
+ variable points to the Build Directory.</para>
+
+ <para>You have a lot of flexibility when creating the Build
+ Directory.
+ Following are some examples that show how to create the
+ directory.
+ The examples assume your

+ Identifies editable or configurable files that are part of a package.
+ If the Package Management System (PMS) is being used to update
+ packages on the target system, it is possible that
+ configuration files you have changed after the original installation
+ and that you now want to remain unchanged are overwritten.
+ In other words, editable files might exist in the package that you do not
+ want reset as part of the package update process.
+ You can use the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> variable to list the files in the
+ package that you wish to prevent the PMS from overwriting during this update process.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To use the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> variable, provide a package name
+ override that identifies the resulting package.
+ Then, provide a space-separated list of files.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ CONFFILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/file1 \
+ ${sysconfdir}/file2 ${sysconfdir}/file3"

+ A relationship exists between the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> and
+ <filename><link linkend='var-FILES'>FILES</link></filename> variables.
+ The files listed within <filename>CONFFILES</filename> must be a subset of
+ the files listed within <filename>FILES</filename>.
+ Because the configuration files you provide with <filename>CONFFILES</filename>
+ are simply being identified so that the PMS will not overwrite them,
+ it makes sense that
+ the files must already be included as part of the package through the
+ <filename>FILES</filename> variable.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ When specifying paths as part of the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> variable,
+ it is good practice to use appropriate path variables.
+ For example, <filename>${sysconfdir}</filename> rather than
+ <filename>/etc</filename> or <filename>${bindir}</filename> rather
+ than <filename>/usr/bin</filename>.

+ You can think of this variable as part of the recipe revision
+ as set from within an include file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Suppose, for example, you have a set of recipes that
+ are used across several projects.
+ And, within each of those recipes the revision
+ (its <link linkend='var-PR'><filename>PR</filename></link>
+ value) is set accordingly.
+ In this case, when the revision of those recipes changes,
+ the burden is on you to find all those recipes and
+ be sure that they get changed to reflect the updated
+ version of the recipe.
+ In this scenario, it can get complicated when recipes
+ that are used in many places and provide common functionality
+ are upgraded to a new revision.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A more efficient way of dealing with this situation is
+ to set the <filename>INC_PR</filename> variable inside
+ the <filename>include</filename> files that the recipes
+ share and then expand the <filename>INC_PR</filename>
+ variable within the recipes to help
+ define the recipe revision.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The following provides an example that shows how to use
+ the <filename>INC_PR</filename> variable
+ given a common <filename>include</filename> file that
+ defines the variable.
+ Once the variable is defined in the
+ <filename>include</filename> file, you can use the
+ variable to set the <filename>PR</filename> values in
+ each recipe.
+ You will notice that when you set a recipe's
+ <filename>PR</filename> you can provide more granular
+ revisioning by appending values to the
+ <filename>INC_PR</filename> variable:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ recipes-graphics/xorg-font/xorg-font-common.inc:INC_PR = "r2"
+ recipes-graphics/xorg-font/encodings_1.0.4.bb:PR = "${INC_PR}.1"
+ recipes-graphics/xorg-font/font-util_1.3.0.bb:PR = "${INC_PR}.0"
+ recipes-graphics/xorg-font/font-alias_1.0.3.bb:PR = "${INC_PR}.3"
+ </literallayout>
+ The first line of the example establishes the baseline
+ revision to be used for all recipes that use the
+ <filename>include</filename> file.
+ The remaining lines in the example are from individual
+ recipes and show how the <filename>PR</filename> value
+ is set.

+ The names of the packages you list within

+ Because the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable applies

+ In this case, you would use the following

+ <note>
+ <title>Caution</title>

+ A list of packages that extends the usability of a package

+ The package being built does not depend on this list of

+ <filename><link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'>RDEPENDS</link></filename>

+ The package manager will automatically install the
+ <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> list of packages when
+ installing the built package.
+ However, you can prevent listed packages from being
+ installed by using the
+ <link linkend='var-BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS'><filename>BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS</filename></link>,
+ <link linkend='var-NO_RECOMMENDATIONS'><filename>NO_RECOMMENDATIONS</filename></link>,
+ and
+ <link linkend='var-PACKAGE_EXCLUDE'><filename>PACKAGE_EXCLUDE</filename></link>
+ variables.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Packages specified in
+ <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> need not actually be
+ produced.
+ However, a recipe must exist that provides each package,
+ either through the
+ <link linkend='var-PACKAGES'><filename>PACKAGES</filename></link>
+ or
+ <link linkend='var-PACKAGES_DYNAMIC'><filename>PACKAGES_DYNAMIC</filename></link>
+ variables or the
+ <link linkend='var-RPROVIDES'><filename>RPROVIDES</filename></link>
+ variable, or an error will occur during the build.
+ If such a recipe does exist and the package is not produced,
+ the build continues without error.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Because the <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> variable
+ applies to packages being built, you should always attach
+ an override to the variable to specify the particular
+ package whose usability is being extended.
+ For example, suppose you are building a development package
+ that is extended to support wireless functionality.
+ In this case, you would use the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ RRECOMMENDS_${PN}-dev += "<replaceable>wireless_package_name</replaceable>"
+ </literallayout>
+ In the example, the package name
+ (<filename>${<link linkend='var-PN'>PN</link>}-dev</filename>)
+ must appear as it would in the
+ <filename>PACKAGES</filename> namespace before any renaming
+ of the output package by classes such as

+ For most recipes, this sysroot is the one in which that

+ <link linkend='ref-tasks-populate_sysroot'><filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename></link>
+ task copies files.
+ Exceptions include <filename>-native</filename> recipes,
+ where the <filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename> task
+ instead uses
+ <link linkend='var-STAGING_DIR_NATIVE'><filename>STAGING_DIR_NATIVE</filename></link>.
+ Depending on the type of recipe and the build target,
+ <filename>STAGING_DIR_HOST</filename> can have the
+ following values:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ For recipes building for the target machine, the
+ value is
+ "${<link linkend='var-STAGING_DIR'>STAGING_DIR</link>}/${<link linkend='var-MACHINE'>MACHINE</link>}".
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ For native recipes building for the build host, the
+ value is empty given the assumption that when
+ building for the build host, the build host's own
+ directories should be used.
+ <note>
+ <para><filename>-native</filename> recipes are
+ not installed into host paths like such as
+ <filename>/usr</filename>.
+ Rather, these recipes are installed into
+ <filename>STAGING_DIR_NATIVE</filename>.
+ When compiling <filename>-native</filename>
+ recipes, standard build environment variables
+ such as
+ <link linkend='var-CPPFLAGS'><filename>CPPFLAGS</filename></link>
+ and
+ <link linkend='var-CFLAGS'><filename>CFLAGS</filename></link>
+ are set up so that both host paths and
+ <filename>STAGING_DIR_NATIVE</filename> are
+ searched for libraries and headers using, for
+ example, GCC's <filename>-isystem</filename>
+ option.</para>
+
+ <para>Thus, the emphasis is that the
+ <filename>STAGING_DIR*</filename> variables
+ should be viewed as input variables by tasks
+ such as
+ <link linkend='ref-tasks-configure'><filename>do_configure</filename></link>,
+ <link linkend='ref-tasks-compile'><filename>do_compile</filename></link>,
+ and
+ <link linkend='ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></link>.
+ Having the real system root correspond to
+ <filename>STAGING_DIR_HOST</filename> makes
+ conceptual sense for
+ <filename>-native</filename> recipes, as
+ they make use of host headers and libraries.

+ track defects (bugs).
+ Implementations of Bugzilla work well for group development because
+ they track bugs and code changes, can be used to communicate changes
+ and problems with developers, can be used to submit and review patches,
+ and can be used to manage quality assurance.

+ <para>
+ Sometimes it is helpful to submit, investigate, or track a bug against

+
+ <para>
+ A general procedure and guidelines exist for when you use Bugzilla to

+ The extensible SDK primarily consists of a pre-configured copy of

+ Thus, the SDK's configuration is derived using that build system and
+ the filters shown in the following list.
+ When these filters are present, the OpenEmbedded build system applies

+ <filename>auto.conf</filename>:

+ Typically, these variables are specific to the machine on
+ which the build system is running and could be problematic
+ as part of the extensible SDK configuration.</para>

+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_TITLE'><filename>SDK_TITLE</filename></ulink>
+ variable and then rebuilding the the SDK installer.
+ For information on how to build an SDK installer, see the

+
+ <para>
+ By default, this title is derived from
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DISTRO_NAME'><filename>DISTRO_NAME</filename></ulink>

+
+ <para>
+ The
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-populate-sdk-*'><filename>populate_sdk_base</filename></ulink>

+ While several ways exist to change this variable, an efficient method
+ is to set the variable in your distribution's configuration file.
+ Doing so creates an SDK installer title that applies across your
+ distribution.
+ As an example, assume you have your own layer for your distribution
+ named "meta-mydistro" and you are using the same type of file
+ hierarchy as does the default "poky" distribution.
+ If so, you could update the <filename>SDK_TITLE</filename> variable
+ in the

+ <title>Minimizing the Size of the Extensible SDK Installer Download</title>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, the extensible SDK bundles the shared state artifacts for
+ everything needed to reconstruct the image for which the SDK was built.
+ This bundling can lead to an SDK installer file that is a Gigabyte or
+ more in size.
+ If the size of this file causes a problem, you can build an SDK that
+ has just enough in it to install and provide access to the
+ <filename>devtool command</filename> by setting the following in your
+ configuration:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SDK_EXT_TYPE = "minimal"
+ </literallayout>
+ Setting
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_EXT_TYPE'><filename>SDK_EXT_TYPE</filename></ulink>
+ to "minimal" produces an SDK installer that is around 35 Mbytes in
+ size, which downloads and installs quickly.
+ You need to realize, though, that the minimal installer does not
+ install any libraries or tools out of the box.
+ These libraries and tools must be installed either "on the fly" or
+ through actions you perform using <filename>devtool</filename> or
+ explicitly with the <filename>devtool sdk-install</filename> command.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In most cases, when building a minimal SDK you need to also enable
+ bringing in the information on a wider range of packages produced by
+ the system.
+ Requiring this wider range of information is particularly true
+ so that <filename>devtool add</filename> is able to effectively map
+ dependencies it discovers in a source tree to the appropriate recipes.
+ Additionally, the information enables the
+ <filename>devtool search</filename> command to return useful results.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To facilitate this wider range of information, you would need to
+ set the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA = "1"
+ </literallayout>
+ See the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA'><filename>SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA</filename></ulink>
+ variable for additional information.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Setting the <filename>SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA</filename> variable as
+ shown causes the "world" target to be built so that information
+ for all of the recipes included within it are available.
+ Having these recipes available increases build time significantly and
+ increases the size of the SDK installer by 30-80 Mbytes depending on
+ how many recipes are included in your configuration.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can use
+ <filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD_pn-</filename><replaceable>recipename</replaceable>
+ for recipes you want to exclude.
+ However, it is assumed that you would need to be building the "world"
+ target if you want to provide additional items to the SDK.
+ Consequently, building for "world" should not represent undue
+ overhead in most cases.
+ <note>
+ If you set <filename>SDK_EXT_TYPE</filename> to "minimal",
+ then providing a shared state mirror is mandatory so that items
+ can be installed as needed.
+ See the
+ "<link linkend='sdk-providing-additional-installable-extensible-sdk-content'>Providing Additional Installable Extensible SDK Content</link>"

+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can explicitly control whether or not to include the toolchain
+ when you build an SDK by setting the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_INCLUDE_TOOLCHAIN'><filename>SDK_INCLUDE_TOOLCHAIN</filename></ulink>
+ variable to "1".
+ In particular, it is useful to include the toolchain when you
+ have set <filename>SDK_EXT_TYPE</filename> to "minimal", which by
+ default, excludes the toolchain.
+ Also, it is helpful if you are building a small SDK for use with
+ an IDE or some

+
+ <para>
+ This chapter describes the extensible SDK and how to install it.
+ Information covers the pieces of the SDK, how to install it, and
+ presents a look at using the <filename>devtool</filename>
+ functionality.
+ The extensible SDK makes it easy to add new applications and libraries
+ to an image, modify the source for an existing component, test
+ changes on the target hardware, and ease integration into the rest of
+ the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>.

+
+ <para>
+ In addition to the functionality available through
+ <filename>devtool</filename>, you can alternatively make use of the
+ toolchain directly, for example from Makefile and Autotools.

+ <title>Why use the Extensible SDK and What is in It?</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The extensible SDK provides a cross-development toolchain and
+ libraries tailored to the contents of a specific image.
+ You would use the Extensible SDK if you want a toolchain experience
+ supplemented with the powerful set of <filename>devtool</filename>
+ commands tailored for the Yocto Project environment.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The installed extensible SDK consists of several files and
+ directories.
+ Basically, it contains an SDK environment setup script, some
+ configuration files, an internal build system, and the
+ <filename>devtool</filename> functionality.

+ <title>Installing the Extensible SDK</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The first thing you need to do is install the SDK on your
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>Build Host</ulink>
+ by running the <filename>*.sh</filename> installation script.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can download a tarball installer, which includes the
+ pre-built toolchain, the <filename>runqemu</filename>
+ script, the internal build system, <filename>devtool</filename>,
+ and support files from the appropriate
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'>toolchain</ulink>
+ directory within the Index of Releases.
+ Toolchains are available for several 32-bit and 64-bit
+ architectures with the <filename>x86_64</filename> directories,
+ respectively.
+ The toolchains the Yocto Project provides are based off the
+ <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
+ <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> images and contain
+ libraries appropriate for developing against that image.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The names of the tarball installer scripts are such that a
+ string representing the host system appears first in the
+ filename and then is immediately followed by a string
+ representing the target architecture.
+ An extensible SDK has the string "-ext" as part of the name.
+ Following is the general form:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ poky-glibc-<replaceable>host_system</replaceable>-<replaceable>image_type</replaceable>-<replaceable>arch</replaceable>-toolchain-ext-<replaceable>release_version</replaceable>.sh
+
+ Where:
+ <replaceable>host_system</replaceable> is a string representing your development system:
+
+ i686 or x86_64.
+
+ <replaceable>image_type</replaceable> is the image for which the SDK was built:
+
+ core-image-sato or core-image-minimal
+
+ <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the tuned target architecture:
+
+ aarch64, armv5e, core2-64, i586, mips32r2, mips64, ppc7400, or cortexa8hf-neon
+
+ <replaceable>release_version</replaceable> is a string representing the release number of the Yocto Project:
+
+ &DISTRO;, &DISTRO;+snapshot
+ </literallayout>
+ For example, the following SDK installer is for a 64-bit
+ development host system and a i586-tuned target architecture
+ based off the SDK for <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
+ using the current &DISTRO; snapshot:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-ext-&DISTRO;.sh

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The SDK and toolchains are self-contained and by default are
+ installed into the <filename>poky_sdk</filename> folder in your

+ You can choose to install the extensible SDK in any location when

+ The following command shows how to run the installer given a

+ The example assumes the SDK installer is located in
+ <filename>~/Downloads/</filename> and has execution rights.
+ <note>
+ If you do not have write permissions for the directory
+ into which you are installing the SDK, the installer

+ Once you have the SDK installed, you must run the SDK environment

+ Before running the script, be sure it is the one that matches the

+ Environment setup scripts begin with the string
+ "<filename>environment-setup</filename>" and include as part of
+ their name the tuned target architecture.
+ As an example, the following commands set the working directory
+ to where the SDK was installed and then source the environment
+ setup script.
+ In this example, the setup script is for an IA-based
+ target machine using i586 tuning:

+ <title>Using <filename>devtool</filename> in Your SDK Workflow</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The cornerstone of the extensible SDK is a command-line tool

+ This tool provides a number of features that help
+ you build, test and package software within the extensible SDK, and
+ optionally integrate it into an image built by the OpenEmbedded
+ build system.
+ <note><title>Tip</title>
+ The use of <filename>devtool</filename> is not limited to

+ You can use <filename>devtool</filename> to help you easily
+ develop any project whose build output must be part of an
+ image built using the build system.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <filename>devtool</filename> command line is organized
+ similarly to
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#git'>Git</ulink> in that it
+ has a number of sub-commands for each function.
+ You can run <filename>devtool --help</filename> to see all the

+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Left</emphasis>:
+ The left scenario in the figure represents a

+ Thus, everything you need will be located in
+ the workspace:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ devtool add <replaceable>recipe fetchuri</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ With this command, <filename>devtool</filename>
+ extracts the upstream source files into a local
+ Git repository within the

+ The command then creates a recipe named
+ <replaceable>recipe</replaceable> and a
+ corresponding append file in the workspace.
+ If you do not provide

+ <note>
+ If required, <filename>devtool</filename>
+ always creates
+ a Git repository locally during the

+ Furthermore, the first positional argument
+ <replaceable>srctree</replaceable> in this
+ case identifies where the
+ <filename>devtool add</filename> command
+ will locate the extracted code outside of the
+ workspace.
+ You need to specify an empty directory:

+ <note>
+ This step assumes you have a previously built

+ and, if the image is running on real hardware,
+ you have network access to and from your

+ </note>
+ You can deploy your build output to that target

+ The use of Make by itself is very common in both proprietary

+ Unfortunately, Makefiles are often not written with
+ cross-compilation in mind.
+ Thus, <filename>devtool add</filename> often cannot do very
+ much to ensure that these Makefiles build correctly.
+ It is very common, for example, to explicitly call
+ <filename>gcc</filename> instead of using the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'><filename>CC</filename></ulink>
+ variable.
+ Usually, in a cross-compilation environment,
+ <filename>gcc</filename> is the compiler for the build host
+ and the cross-compiler is named something similar to
+ <filename>arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc</filename> and might
+ require arguments (e.g. to point to the associated sysroot
+ for the target machine).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When writing a recipe for Makefile-only software, keep the
+ following in mind:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>

+ so forth) in a similar manner to the environment set
+ up by the SDK's environment setup script.
+ One easy way to see these variables is to run the
+ <filename>devtool build</filename> command on the
+ recipe and then look in
+ <filename>oe-logs/run.do_compile</filename>.
+ Towards the top of this file, a list of environment
+ variables exists that are being set.
+ You can take advantage of these variables within the
+ Makefile.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ If the Makefile sets a default for a variable using "=",
+ that default overrides the value set in the environment,
+ which is usually not desirable.
+ For this case, you can either patch the Makefile
+ so it sets the default using the "?=" operator, or
+ you can alternatively force the value on the
+ <filename>make</filename> command line.
+ To force the value on the command line, add the

+ the compiler.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Hardcoding paths inside Makefiles is often problematic
+ in a cross-compilation environment.
+ This is particularly true because those hardcoded paths
+ often point to locations on the build host and thus
+ will either be read-only or will introduce
+ contamination into the cross-compilation because they
+ are specific to the build host rather than the target.
+ Patching the Makefile to use prefix variables or other

+ <para>
+ Often, you need to build additional tools that run on the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>build host</ulink>
+ as opposed to the target.
+ You should indicate this requirement by using one of the
+ following methods when you run
+ <filename>devtool add</filename>:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Specify the name of the recipe such that it ends
+ with "-native".
+ Specifying the name like this produces a recipe that
+ only builds for the build host.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Specify the "‐‐also-native" option with the
+ <filename>devtool add</filename> command.
+ Specifying this option creates a recipe file that still
+ builds for the target but also creates a variant with
+ a "-native" suffix that builds for the build host.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <note>
+ If you need to add a tool that is shipped as part of a
+ source tree that builds code for the target, you can
+ typically accomplish this by building the native and target
+ parts separately rather than within the same compilation
+ process.
+ Realize though that with the "‐‐also-native"

+ <section id='sdk-sharing-files-between-recipes'>
+ <title>Sharing Files Between Recipes</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Recipes often need to use files provided by other recipes on
+ the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>build host</ulink>.
+ For example, an application linking to a common library needs
+ access to the library itself and its associated headers.
+ The way this access is accomplished within the extensible SDK is
+ through the sysroot.
+ One sysroot exists per "machine" for which the SDK is being
+ built.
+ In practical terms, this means a sysroot exists for the target
+ machine, and a sysroot exists for the build host.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Recipes should never write files directly into the sysroot.
+ Instead, files should be installed into standard locations
+ during the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></ulink>
+ task within the
+ <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-D'><filename>D</filename></ulink><filename>}</filename>
+ directory.
+ A subset of these files automatically goes into the sysroot.
+ The reason for this limitation is that almost all files that go
+ into the sysroot are cataloged in manifests in order to ensure
+ they can be removed later when a recipe is modified or removed.
+ Thus, the sysroot is able to remain free from stale files.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='sdk-packaging'>
+ <title>Packaging</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Packaging is not always particularly relevant within the
+ extensible SDK.
+ However, if you examine how build output gets into the final image
+ on the target device, it is important to understand packaging
+ because the contents of the image are expressed in terms of
+ packages and not recipes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ During the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-package'><filename>do_package</filename></ulink>
+ task, files installed during the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></ulink>
+ task are split into one main package, which is almost always
+ named the same as the recipe, and into several other packages.
+ This separation exists because not all of those installed files
+ are useful in every image.
+ For example, you probably do not need any of the documentation
+ installed in a production image.
+ Consequently, for each recipe the documentation files are
+ separated into a <filename>-doc</filename> package.
+ Recipes that package software containing optional modules or
+ plugins might undergo additional package splitting as well.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ After building a recipe, you can see where files have gone by
+ looking in the <filename>oe-workdir/packages-split</filename>
+ directory, which contains a subdirectory for each package.
+ Apart from some advanced cases, the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGES'><filename>PACKAGES</filename></ulink>
+ and
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILES'><filename>FILES</filename></ulink>
+ variables controls splitting.
+ The <filename>PACKAGES</filename> variable lists all of the
+ packages to be produced, while the <filename>FILES</filename>
+ variable specifies which files to include in each package by
+ using an override to specify the package.
+ For example, <filename>FILES_${PN}</filename> specifies the
+ files to go into the main package (i.e. the main package has
+ the same name as the recipe and
+ <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></ulink><filename>}</filename>
+ evaluates to the recipe name).
+ The order of the <filename>PACKAGES</filename> value is
+ significant.
+ For each installed file, the first package whose
+ <filename>FILES</filename> value matches the file is the
+ package into which the file goes.
+ Defaults exist for both the <filename>PACKAGES</filename> and
+ <filename>FILES</filename> variables.
+ Consequently, you might find you do not even need to set these
+ variables in your recipe unless the software the recipe is
+ building installs files into non-standard locations.

+ <section id='sdk-restoring-the-target-device-to-its-original-state'>
+ <title>Restoring the Target Device to its Original State</title>
+
+ <para>
+ If you use the <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename>
+ command to write a recipe's build output to the target, and
+ you are working on an existing component of the system, then you
+ might find yourself in a situation where you need to restore the
+ original files that existed prior to running the
+ <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename> command.
+ Because the <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename> command
+ backs up any files it overwrites, you can use the
+ <filename>devtool undeploy-target</filename> command to restore
+ those files and remove any other files the recipe deployed.
+ Consider the following example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ devtool undeploy-target lighttpd root@192.168.7.2
+ </literallayout>
+ If you have deployed multiple applications, you can remove them
+ all using the "-a" option thus restoring the target device to its
+ original state:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ devtool undeploy-target -a root@192.168.7.2
+ </literallayout>
+ Information about files deployed to the target as well as any
+ backed up files are stored on the target itself.
+ This storage, of course, requires some additional space
+ on the target machine.
+ <note>
+ The <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename> and
+ <filename>devtool undeploy-target</filename> commands do not
+ currently interact with any package management system on the
+ target device (e.g. RPM or OPKG).
+ Consequently, you should not intermingle
+ <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename> and package
+ manager operations on the target device.
+ Doing so could result in a conflicting set of files.

+ <title>Installing Additional Items Into the Extensible SDK</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Out of the box the extensible SDK typically only comes with a small
+ number of tools and libraries.
+ A minimal SDK starts mostly empty and is populated on-demand.
+ Sometimes you must explicitly install extra items into the SDK.
+ If you need these extra items, you can first search for the items
+ using the <filename>devtool search</filename> command.
+ For example, suppose you need to link to libGL but you are not sure
+ which recipe provides libGL.
+ You can use the following command to find out:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ devtool search libGL
+ mesa A free implementation of the OpenGL API
+ </literallayout>
+ Once you know the recipe (i.e. <filename>mesa</filename> in this
+ example), you can install it:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ devtool sdk-install mesa
+ </literallayout>
+ By default, the <filename>devtool sdk-install</filename> command
+ assumes the item is available in pre-built form from your SDK
+ provider.
+ If the item is not available and it is acceptable to build the item
+ from source, you can add the "-s" option as follows:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ devtool sdk-install -s mesa
+ </literallayout>
+ It is important to remember that building the item from source
+ takes significantly longer than installing the pre-built artifact.
+ Also, if no recipe exists for the item you want to add to the SDK,
+ you must instead add the item using the
+ <filename>devtool add</filename> command.

+ <title>Applying Updates to an Installed Extensible SDK</title>

+ <para>
+ To update your installed SDK, use <filename>devtool</filename> as

+ <para>
+ Welcome to the Yocto Project Application Development and the
+ Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK) manual.
+ This manual provides information that explains how to use both the
+ Yocto Project extensible and standard SDKs to develop
+ applications and images.
+ <note>
+ Prior to the 2.0 Release of the Yocto Project, application
+ development was primarily accomplished through the use of the
+ Application Development Toolkit (ADT) and the availability
+ of stand-alone cross-development toolchains and other tools.
+ With the 2.1 Release of the Yocto Project, application development
+ has transitioned to within a tool-rich extensible SDK and the more
+ traditional standard SDK.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ All SDKs consist of the following:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Cross-Development Toolchain</emphasis>:
+ This toolchain contains a compiler, debugger, and various
+ miscellaneous tools.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Libraries, Headers, and Symbols</emphasis>:
+ The libraries, headers, and symbols are specific to the image
+ (i.e. they match the image).
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Environment Setup Script</emphasis>:
+ This <filename>*.sh</filename> file, once run, sets up the
+ cross-development environment by defining variables and
+ preparing for SDK use.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Additionally, an extensible SDK has tools that allow you to easily add
+ new applications and libraries to an image, modify the source of an
+ existing component, test changes on the target hardware, and easily
+ integrate an application into the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can use an SDK to independently develop and test code
+ that is destined to run on some target machine.
+ SDKs are completely self-contained.
+ The binaries are linked against their own copy of
+ <filename>libc</filename>, which results in no dependencies
+ on the target system.
+ To achieve this, the pointer to the dynamic loader is
+ configured at install time since that path cannot be dynamically
+ altered.
+ This is the reason for a wrapper around the
+ <filename>populate_sdk</filename> and
+ <filename>populate_sdk_ext</filename> archives.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Another feature for the SDKs is that only one set of cross-compiler
+ toolchain binaries are produced for any given architecture.
+ This feature takes advantage of the fact that the target hardware can
+ be passed to <filename>gcc</filename> as a set of compiler options.
+ Those options are set up by the environment script and contained in
+ variables such as
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'><filename>CC</filename></ulink>
+ and
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LD'><filename>LD</filename></ulink>.
+ This reduces the space needed for the tools.
+ Understand, however, that every target still needs a sysroot because
+ those binaries are target-specific.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The SDK development environment consists of the following:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ The self-contained SDK, which is an
+ architecture-specific cross-toolchain and
+ matching sysroots (target and native) all built by the
+ OpenEmbedded build system (e.g. the SDK).
+ The toolchain and sysroots are based on a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>
+ configuration and extensions,
+ which allows you to cross-develop on the host machine for the
+ target hardware.
+ Additionally, the extensible SDK contains the
+ <filename>devtool</filename> functionality.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ The Quick EMUlator (QEMU), which lets you simulate
+ target hardware.
+ QEMU is not literally part of the SDK.
+ You must build and include this emulator separately.
+ However, QEMU plays an important role in the development
+ process that revolves around use of the SDK.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In summary, the extensible and standard SDK share many features.
+ However, the extensible SDK has powerful development tools to help you
+ more quickly develop applications.
+ Following is a table that summarizes the primary differences between
+ the standard and extensible SDK types when considering which to

+
+ <para>
+ The
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#cross-development-toolchain'>Cross-Development Toolchain</ulink>
+ consists of a cross-compiler, cross-linker, and cross-debugger
+ that are used to develop user-space applications for targeted
+ hardware.
+ Additionally, for an extensible SDK, the toolchain also has
+ built-in <filename>devtool</filename> functionality.
+ This toolchain is created by running a SDK installer script
+ or through a
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>
+ that is based on your metadata configuration or extension for
+ your targeted device.
+ The cross-toolchain works with a matching target sysroot.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='sysroot'>
+ <title>Sysroots</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The native and target sysroots contain needed headers and libraries
+ for generating binaries that run on the target architecture.
+ The target sysroot is based on the target root filesystem image
+ that is built by the OpenEmbedded build system and uses the same
+ metadata configuration used to build the cross-toolchain.

+ The QEMU emulator allows you to simulate your hardware while

+ QEMU is not part of the SDK but is made available a number of
+ different ways:

+ If you have cloned the <filename>poky</filename> Git

+ <title>SDK Development Model</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Fundamentally, the SDK fits into the development process as follows:
+ <imagedata fileref="figures/sdk-environment.png" align="center" width="6in" depth="5in" scalefit="100" />
+ The SDK is installed on any machine and can be used to develop
+ applications, images, and kernels.
+ An SDK can even be used by a QA Engineer or Release Engineer.
+ The fundamental concept is that the machine that has the SDK installed
+ does not have to be associated with the machine that has the
+ Yocto Project installed.
+ A developer can independently compile and test an object on their
+ machine and then, when the object is ready for integration into an
+ image, they can simply make it available to the machine that has the
+ Yocto Project.
+ Once the object is available, the image can be rebuilt using the
+ Yocto Project to produce the modified image.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You just need to follow these general steps:

+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Install the SDK for your target hardware:</emphasis>
+ For information on how to install the SDK, see the
+ "<link linkend='sdk-installing-the-sdk'>Installing the SDK</link>"

+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Download or Build the Target Image:</emphasis>
+ The Yocto Project supports several target architectures
+ and has many pre-built kernel images and root filesystem
+ images.</para>
+
+ <para>If you are going to develop your application on
+ hardware, go to the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_MACHINES_DL_URL;'><filename>machines</filename></ulink>
+ download area and choose a target machine area
+ from which to download the kernel image and root filesystem.
+ This download area could have several files in it that
+ support development using actual hardware.
+ For example, the area might contain
+ <filename>.hddimg</filename> files that combine the
+ kernel image with the filesystem, boot loaders, and
+ so forth.
+ Be sure to get the files you need for your particular
+ development process.</para>
+
+ <para>If you are going to develop your application and
+ then run and test it using the QEMU emulator, go to the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_QEMU_DL_URL;'><filename>machines/qemu</filename></ulink>
+ download area.
+ From this area, go down into the directory for your
+ target architecture (e.g. <filename>qemux86_64</filename>
+ for an <trademark class='registered'>Intel</trademark>-based
+ 64-bit architecture).
+ Download the kernel, root filesystem, and any other files you
+ need for your process.
+ <note>
+ To use the root filesystem in QEMU, you need to extract it.
+ See the
+ "<link linkend='sdk-extracting-the-root-filesystem'>Extracting the Root Filesystem</link>"
+ section for information on how to extract the root
+ filesystem.
+ </note>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Develop and Test your Application:</emphasis>
+ At this point, you have the tools to develop your application.

+ you can go to
+ <ulink url='http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page'>QEMU Home Page</ulink>
+ to download and learn about the emulator.
+ See the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#dev-manual-qemu'>Using the Quick EMUlator (QEMU)</ulink>"

+ <note>

+ You can use a standard SDK to work on Makefile and Autotools-based

+ <title>Why use the Standard SDK and What is in It?</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The Standard SDK provides a cross-development toolchain and
+ libraries tailored to the contents of a specific image.
+ You would use the Standard SDK if you want a more traditional
+ toolchain experience as compared to the extensible SDK, which
+ provides an internal build system and the
+ <filename>devtool</filename> functionality.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The installed Standard SDK consists of several files and
+ directories.
+ Basically, it contains an SDK environment setup script, some
+ configuration files, and host and target root filesystems to
+ support usage.
+ You can see the directory structure in the
+ "<link linkend='sdk-installed-standard-sdk-directory-structure'>Installed Standard SDK Directory Structure</link>"
+ section.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='sdk-installing-the-sdk'>
+ <title>Installing the SDK</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The first thing you need to do is install the SDK on your
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>Build Host</ulink>
+ by running the <filename>*.sh</filename> installation script.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can download a tarball installer, which includes the
+ pre-built toolchain, the <filename>runqemu</filename>
+ script, and support files from the appropriate
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'>toolchain</ulink>
+ directory within the Index of Releases.
+ Toolchains are available for several 32-bit and 64-bit
+ architectures with the <filename>x86_64</filename> directories,
+ respectively.
+ The toolchains the Yocto Project provides are based off the
+ <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
+ <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> images and contain
+ libraries appropriate for developing against that image.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The names of the tarball installer scripts are such that a
+ string representing the host system appears first in the
+ filename and then is immediately followed by a string
+ representing the target architecture.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ poky-glibc-<replaceable>host_system</replaceable>-<replaceable>image_type</replaceable>-<replaceable>arch</replaceable>-toolchain-<replaceable>release_version</replaceable>.sh
+
+ Where:
+ <replaceable>host_system</replaceable> is a string representing your development system:
+
+ i686 or x86_64.
+
+ <replaceable>image_type</replaceable> is the image for which the SDK was built:
+
+ core-image-minimal or core-image-sato.
+
+ <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the tuned target architecture:
+
+ aarch64, armv5e, core2-64, i586, mips32r2, mips64, ppc7400, or cortexa8hf-neon.
+
+ <replaceable>release_version</replaceable> is a string representing the release number of the Yocto Project:
+
+ &DISTRO;, &DISTRO;+snapshot
+ </literallayout>
+ For example, the following SDK installer is for a 64-bit
+ development host system and a i586-tuned target architecture
+ based off the SDK for <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
+ using the current &DISTRO; snapshot:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-&DISTRO;.sh
+ </literallayout>
+ <note>
+ As an alternative to downloading an SDK, you can build the
+ SDK installer.
+ For information on building the installer, see the
+ "<link linkend='sdk-building-an-sdk-installer'>Building an SDK Installer</link>"
+ section.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The SDK and toolchains are self-contained and by default are
+ installed into the <filename>poky_sdk</filename> folder in your
+ home directory.
+ You can choose to install the extensible SDK in any location when
+ you run the installer.
+ However, because files need to be written under that directory
+ during the normal course of operation, the location you choose
+ for installation must be writable for whichever
+ users need to use the SDK.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The following command shows how to run the installer given a
+ toolchain tarball for a 64-bit x86 development host system and
+ a 64-bit x86 target architecture.
+ The example assumes the SDK installer is located in
+ <filename>~/Downloads/</filename> and has execution rights.
+ <note>
+ If you do not have write permissions for the directory
+ into which you are installing the SDK, the installer
+ notifies you and exits.
+ For that case, set up the proper permissions in the directory
+ and run the installer again.

+ <title>Running the SDK Environment Setup Script</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Once you have the SDK installed, you must run the SDK environment
+ setup script before you can actually use the SDK.
+ This setup script resides in the directory you chose when you
+ installed the SDK, which is either the default
+ <filename>/opt/poky/&DISTRO;</filename> directory or the directory
+ you chose during installation.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Before running the script, be sure it is the one that matches the
+ architecture for which you are developing.
+ Environment setup scripts begin with the string
+ "<filename>environment-setup</filename>" and include as part of
+ their name the tuned target architecture.
+ As an example, the following commands set the working directory
+ to where the SDK was installed and then source the environment
+ setup script.
+ In this example, the setup script is for an IA-based
+ target machine using i586 tuning:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ source /opt/poky/&DISTRO;/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
+ </literallayout>
+ When you run the setup script, the same environment variables are
+ defined as are when you run the setup script for an extensible SDK.
+ See the
+ "<link linkend='sdk-running-the-extensible-sdk-environment-setup-script'>Running the Extensible SDK Environment Setup Script</link>"
+ section for more information.

+ <emphasis>Source the Cross-Toolchain

+ As described earlier in the manual, installing the
+ cross-toolchain creates a cross-toolchain
+ environment setup script in the directory that the SDK
+ was installed.
+ Before you can use the tools to develop your project,
+ you must source this setup script.
+ The script begins with the string "environment-setup"
+ and contains the machine architecture, which is
+ followed by the string "poky-linux".
+ For this example, the command sources a script from the
+ default SDK installation directory that uses the
+ 32-bit Intel x86 Architecture and the
+ &DISTRO_NAME; Yocto Project release:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ The <filename>autoreconf</filename> tool takes care

+ <filename>autoconf</filename>, and
+ <filename>automake</filename>.
+ <note>
+ If you get errors from

+ <emphasis>Cross-Compile the Project:</emphasis>
+ This command compiles the project using the
+ cross-compiler.
+ The
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CONFIGURE_FLAGS'><filename>CONFIGURE_FLAGS</filename></ulink>
+ environment variable provides the minimal arguments for
+ GNU configure:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ ./configure ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS}
+ </literallayout>
+ For an Autotools-based project, you can use the
+ cross-toolchain by just passing the appropriate host
+ option to <filename>configure.sh</filename>.
+ The host option you use is derived from the name of the
+ environment setup script found in the directory in which
+ you installed the cross-toolchain.
+ For example, the host option for an ARM-based target that
+ uses the GNU EABI is
+ <filename>armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
+ You will notice that the name of the script is
+ <filename>environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
+ Thus, the following command works to update your project
+ and rebuild it using the appropriate cross-toolchain tools:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ ./configure --host=armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi --with-libtool-sysroot=<replaceable>sysroot_dir</replaceable>

+ </note>
+ This next command is a simple way to verify the
+ installation of your project.
+ Running the command prints the architecture on which

+ Simple Makefile-based projects use and interact with the

+ The environment variables are subject to general
+ <filename>make</filename> rules.

+
+ <para>
+ This section presents a simple Makefile development flow and
+ provides an example that lets you see how you can use
+ cross-toolchain environment variables and Makefile variables
+ during development.
+ <imagedata fileref="figures/sdk-makefile-flow.png" width="6in" height="7in" align="center" />
+ </para>

+ <para>
+ The main point of this section is to explain the following three
+ cases regarding variable behavior:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Case 1 - No Variables Set in the
+ <filename>Makefile</filename> Map to Equivalent
+ Environment Variables Set in the SDK Setup Script:</emphasis>
+ Because matching variables are not specifically set in the
+ <filename>Makefile</filename>, the variables retain their
+ values based on the environment setup script.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Case 2 - Variables Are Set in the Makefile that
+ Map to Equivalent Environment Variables from the SDK
+ Setup Script:</emphasis>
+ Specifically setting matching variables in the
+ <filename>Makefile</filename> during the build results in
+ the environment settings of the variables being
+ overwritten.
+ In this case, the variables you set in the
+ <filename>Makefile</filename> are used.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Case 3 - Variables Are Set Using the Command Line
+ that Map to Equivalent Environment Variables from the
+ SDK Setup Script:</emphasis>
+ Executing the <filename>Makefile</filename> from the
+ command line results in the environment variables being
+ overwritten.
+ In this case, the command-line content is used.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <note>
+ Regardless of how you set your variables, if you use
+ the "-e" option with <filename>make</filename>, the
+ variables from the SDK setup script take precedence:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ make -e <replaceable>target</replaceable>
+ </literallayout>
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The remainder of this section presents a simple Makefile example
+ that demonstrates these variable behaviors.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In a new shell environment variables are not established for the
+ SDK until you run the setup script.
+ For example, the following commands show a null value for the
+ compiler variable (i.e.
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'><filename>CC</filename></ulink>).
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ echo ${CC}

+ Running the SDK setup script for a 64-bit build host and an
+ i586-tuned target architecture for a
+ <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image using the current
+ &DISTRO; Yocto Project release and then echoing that variable
+ shows the value established through the script:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ source /opt/poky/&DISTRO;/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux

+ After setting up the directory, populate it with files

+ <emphasis>Create the <filename>Makefile</filename>:</emphasis>
+ For this example, the Makefile contains two lines that
+ can be used to set the <filename>CC</filename> variable.
+ One line is identical to the value that is set when you
+ run the SDK environment setup script, and the other line
+ sets <filename>CC</filename> to "gcc", the default GNU

+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Make the Project:</emphasis>
+ Use the <filename>make</filename> command to create the

+ set when the SDK environment setup file was run:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+ From the results of the previous command, you can see that
+ the compiler used was the compiler established through

+
+ <para>You can override the <filename>CC</filename>
+ environment variable with the same variable as set from

+
+ <para>This next case shows how to override a variable
+ by providing the variable as part of the command line.
+ Go into the Makefile and re-insert the comment character
+ so that running <filename>make</filename> uses
+ the established SDK compiler.
+ However, when you run <filename>make</filename>, use a
+ command-line argument to set <filename>CC</filename>
+ to "gcc":
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ make clean
+ rm -rf *.o
+ rm target_bin
+ #
+ # Edit the Makefile to comment out the line setting CC to "gcc"

+ <para> Welcome to the Yocto Project Test Environment Manual! This manual is a work in
+ progress. The manual contains information about the testing environment used by the
+ Yocto Project to make sure each major and minor release works as intended. All the
+ project's testing infrastructure and processes are publicly visible and available so
+ that the community can see what testing is being performed, how it's being done and the
+ current status of the tests and the project at any given time. It is intended that Other
+ organizations can leverage off the process and testing environment used by the Yocto
+ Project to create their own automated, production test environment, building upon the
+ foundations from the project core. </para>
+
+ <para> Currently, the Yocto Project Test Environment Manual has no projected release date.

+ <title>Yocto Project Autobuilder Overview</title>
+
+ <para>The Yocto Project Autobuilder collectively refers to the software, tools, scripts, and
+ procedures used by the Yocto Project to test released software across supported hardware
+ in an automated and regular fashion. Basically, during the development of a Yocto
+ Project release, the Autobuilder tests if things work. The Autobuilder builds all test
+ targets and runs all the tests. </para>
+
+ <para>The Yocto Project uses now uses standard upstream <ulink
+ url="https://docs.buildbot.net/0.9.15.post1/">Buildbot</ulink> (version 9) to drive
+ its integration and testing. Buildbot Nine has a plug-in interface that the Yocto
+ Project customizes using code from the <filename>yocto-autobuilder2</filename>
+ repository, adding its own console UI plugin. The resulting UI plug-in allows you to
+ visualize builds in a way suited to the project's needs.</para>
+
+ <para>A <filename>helper</filename> layer provides configuration and job management through
+ scripts found in the <filename>yocto-autobuilder-helper</filename> repository. The
+ <filename>helper</filename> layer contains the bulk of the build configuration
+ information and is release-specific, which makes it highly customizable on a per-project
+ basis. The layer is CI system-agnostic and contains a number of Helper scripts that can
+ generate build configurations from simple JSON files. <note>
+ <para>The project uses Buildbot for historical reasons but also because many of the
+ project developers have knowledge of python. It is possible to use the outer
+ layers from another Continuous Integration (CI) system such as <ulink
+ url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins_(software)">Jenkins</ulink>
+ instead of Buildbot. </para>

+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>bitbake-selftest</emphasis>: </para>
+ <para>These tests are self-contained and test BitBake as well as its APIs, which

+ <title>Considerations When Writing Tests</title>
+ <para>When writing good tests, there are several things to keep in mind. Since things
+ running on the Autobuilder are accessed concurrently by multiple workers, consider the
+ following:</para>
+ <formalpara>
+ <title>Running "cleanall" is not permitted</title>
+ <para>This can delete files from DL_DIR which would potentially break other builds
+ running in parallel. If this is required, DL_DIR must be set to an isolated
+ directory.</para>
+ </formalpara>
+ <formalpara>
+ <title>Running "cleansstate" is not permitted</title>
+ <para>This can delete files from SSTATE_DIR which would potentially break other builds
+ running in parallel. If this is required, SSTATE_DIR must be set to an isolated
+ directory. Alternatively, you can use the "-f" option with the
+ <filename>bitbake</filename> command to "taint" tasks by changing the sstate
+ checksums to ensure sstate cache items will not be reused.</para>
+ </formalpara>
+ <formalpara>
+ <title>Tests should not change the metadata</title>
+ <para>This is particularly true for oe-selftests since these can run in parallel and
+ changing metadata leads to changing checksums, which confuses BitBake while running
+ in parallel. If this is necessary, copy layers to a temporary location and modify
+ them. Some tests need to change metadata, such as the devtool tests. To prevent the
+ metadate from changes, set up temporary copies of that data first.</para>

+ <section id='test-daily-devel'>
+ <title>Day to Day Development</title>
+
+ <para>This section details how the project tests changes, through automation on the
+ Autobuilder or with the assistance of QA teams, through to making releases.</para>
+
+ <para>The project aims to test changes against our test matrix before those changes are
+ merged into the master branch. As such, changes are queued up in batches either in the
+ <filename>master-next</filename> branch in the main trees, or in user trees such as
+ <filename>ross/mut</filename> in <filename>poky-contrib</filename> (Ross Burton
+ helps review and test patches and this is his testing tree).</para>
+ <para>We have two broad categories of test builds, including "full" and "quick". On the
+ Autobuilder, these can be seen as "a-quick" and "a-full", simply for ease of sorting in
+ the UI. Use our Autobuilder console view to see where me manage most test-related items,
+ available at: <link linkend=""
+ >https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/console</link>.</para>
+ <para>Builds are triggered manually when the test branches are ready. The builds are
+ monitored by the SWAT team. For additional information, see <link linkend=""
+ >https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team</link>. If
+ successful, the changes would usually be merged to the <filename>master</filename>
+ branch. If not successful, someone would respond to the changes on the mailing list
+ explaining that there was a failure in testing. The choice of quick or full would depend
+ on the type of changes and the speed with which the result was required.</para>
+ <para>The Autobuilder does build the <filename>master</filename> branch once daily for
+ several reasons, in particular, to ensure the current <filename>master</filename> branch
+ does build, but also to keep <filename>yocto-testresults</filename> (<link linkend=""
+ >http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/yocto-testresults/</link>), buildhistory
+ (<link linkend="">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-buildhistory/</link>),
+ and our sstate up to date. On the weekend, there is a master-next build instead to
+ ensure the test results are updated for the less frequently run targets.</para>
+ <para>Performance builds (buildperf-* targets in the console) are triggered separately every
+ six hours and automatically push their results to the buildstats repository at: <link
+ linkend="">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/yocto-buildstats/</link>. </para>
+ <para>The 'quick' targets have been selected to be the ones which catch the most failures or
+ give the most valuable data. We run 'fast' ptests in this case for example but not the
+ ones which take a long time. The quick target doesn't include *-lsb builds for all
+ architectures, some world builds and doesn't trigger performance tests or ltp testing.
+ The full build includes all these things and is slower but more comprehensive.</para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='test-yocto-project-autobuilder-overview'>
+ <title>Release Builds</title>
+
+ <para>The project typically has two major releases a year with a six month cadence in April
+ and October. Between these there would be a number of milestone releases (usually four)
+ with the final one being stablization only along with point releases of our stable
+ branches.</para>
+ <para>The build and release process for these project releases is similar to that in <link
+ linkend="test-daily-devel">Day to Day Development</link>, in that the a-full target
+ of the Autobuilder is used but in addition the form is configured to generate and
+ publish artefacts and the milestone number, version, release candidate number and other
+ information is entered. The box to "generate an email to QA"is also checked.</para>
+ <para>When the build completes, an email is sent out using the send-qa-email script in the
+ <filename>yocto-autobuilder-helper</filename> repository to the list of people
+ configured for that release. Release builds are placed into a directory in <link
+ linkend="">https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases</link> on the Autobuilder which
+ is included in the email. The process from here is more manual and control is
+ effectively passed to release engineering. The next steps include:<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>QA teams respond to the email saying which tests they plan to run and when
+ the results will be available.</para>
+ </listitem>

+
+<title>Understanding the Yocto Project Autobuilder</title>
+ <section>
+ <title>Execution Flow within the Autobuilder</title>
+ <para>The "a-full" and "a-quick" targets are the usual entry points into the Autobuilder and
+ it makes sense to follow the process through the system starting there. This is best
+ visualised from the Autobuilder Console view (<link linkend=""
+ >https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/console</link>). </para>
+ <para>Each item along the top of that view represents some "target build" and these targets
+ are all run in parallel. The 'full' build will trigger the majority of them, the "quick"
+ build will trigger some subset of them. The Autobuilder effectively runs whichever
+ configuration is defined for each of those targets on a seperate buildbot worker. To
+ understand the configuration, you need to look at the entry on
+ <filename>config.json</filename> file within the
+ <filename>yocto-autobuilder-helper</filename> repository. The targets are defined in
+ the ‘overrides' section, a quick example could be qemux86-64 which looks
+ like:<literallayout class="monospaced">
+ "qemux86-64" : {
+ "MACHINE" : "qemux86-64",
+ "TEMPLATE" : "arch-qemu",
+ "step1" : {
+ "extravars" : [
+ "IMAGE_FSTYPES_append = ' wic wic.bmap'"
+ ]
+ }
+ },
+ </literallayout>And
+ to expand that, you need the "arch-qemu" entry from the "templates" section, which looks
+ like:<literallayout class="monospaced">
+ "arch-qemu" : {
+ "BUILDINFO" : true,
+ "BUILDHISTORY" : true,
+ "step1" : {
+ "BBTARGETS" : "core-image-sato core-image-sato-dev core-image-sato-sdk core-image-minimal core-image-minimal-dev core-image-sato:do_populate_sdk",
+ "SANITYTARGETS" : "core-image-minimal:do_testimage core-image-sato:do_testimage core-image-sato-sdk:do_testimage core-image-sato:do_testsdk"
+ },
+ "step2" : {
+ "SDKMACHINE" : "x86_64",
+ "BBTARGETS" : "core-image-sato:do_populate_sdk core-image-minimal:do_populate_sdk_ext core-image-sato:do_populate_sdk_ext",
+ "SANITYTARGETS" : "core-image-sato:do_testsdk core-image-minimal:do_testsdkext core-image-sato:do_testsdkext"
+ },
+ "step3" : {
+ "BUILDHISTORY" : false,
+ "EXTRACMDS" : ["${SCRIPTSDIR}/checkvnc; DISPLAY=:1 oe-selftest ${HELPERSTMACHTARGS} -j 15"],
+ "ADDLAYER" : ["${BUILDDIR}/../meta-selftest"]
+ }
+ },
+ </literallayout>Combining
+ these two entries you can see that "qemux86-64" is a three step build where the
+ <filename>bitbake BBTARGETS</filename> would be run, then <filename>bitbake
+ SANITYTARGETS</filename> for each step; all for
+ <filename>MACHINE="qemx86-64"</filename> but with differing SDKMACHINE settings. In
+ step 1 an extra variable is added to the <filename>auto.conf</filename> file to enable
+ wic image generation.</para>
+ <para>While not every detail of this is covered here, you can see how the templating
+ mechanism allows quite complex configurations to be built up yet allows duplication and
+ repetition to be kept to a minimum.</para>
+ <para>The different build targets are designed to allow for parallelisation, so different
+ machines are usually built in parallel, operations using the same machine and metadata
+ are built sequentially, with the aim of trying to optimise build efficiency as much as
+ possible.</para>
+ <para>The <filename>config.json</filename> file is processed by the scripts in the Helper
+ repository in the <filename>scripts</filename> directory. The following section details
+ how this works.</para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='test-autobuilder-target-exec-overview'>
+ <title>Autobuilder Target Execution Overview</title>
+
+ <para>For each given target in a build, the Autobuilder executes several steps. These are
+ configured in <filename>yocto-autobuilder2/builders.py</filename> and roughly consist
+ of: <orderedlist>
+ <listitem id='test-list-tgt-exec-clobberdir'>
+ <para><emphasis>Run <filename>clobberdir</filename></emphasis></para>
+ <para>This cleans out any previous build. Old builds are left around to allow
+ easier debugging of failed builds. For additional information, see <link
+ linkend="test-clobberdir"><filename>clobberdir</filename></link>.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis>Obtain yocto-autobuilder-helper</emphasis></para>
+ <para>This step clones the <filename>yocto-autobuilder-helper</filename> git
+ repository. This is necessary to prevent the requirement to maintain all the
+ release or project-specific code within Buildbot. The branch chosen matches
+ the release being built so we can support older releases and still make
+ changes in newer ones.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis>Write layerinfo.json</emphasis></para>
+ <para>This transfers data in the Buildbot UI when the build was configured to
+ the Helper.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis>Call scripts/shared-repo-unpack</emphasis></para>
+ <para>This is a call into the Helper scripts to set up a checkout of all the
+ pieces this build might need. It might clone the BitBake repository and the
+ OpenEmbedded-Core repository. It may clone the Poky repository, as well as
+ additional layers. It will use the data from the
+ <filename>layerinfo.json</filename> file to help understand the
+ configuration. It will also use a local cache of repositories to speed up
+ the clone checkouts. For additional information, see <link
+ linkend="test-autobuilder-clone-cache">Autobuilder Clone
+ Cache</link>.</para>
+ <para>This step has two possible modes of operation. If the build is part of a
+ parent build, its possible that all the repositories needed may already be
+ available, ready in a pre-prepared directory. An "a-quick" or "a-full" build
+ would prepare this before starting the other sub-target builds. This is done
+ for two reasons:<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>the upstream may change during a build, for example, from a
+ forced push and this ensures we have matching content for the
+ whole build</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>if 15 Workers all tried to pull the same data from the same
+ repos, we can hit resource limits on upstream servers as they
+ can think they are under some kind of network attack</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>This pre-prepared directory is shared among the Workers over
+ NFS. If the build is an individual build and there is no "shared" directory
+ available, it would clone from the cache and the upstreams as necessary.
+ This is considered the fallback mode.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis>Call scripts/run-config</emphasis></para>
+ <para>This is another call into the Helper scripts where its expected that the
+ main functionality of this target will be executed.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist></para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-autobuilder-tech'>
+ <title>Autobuilder Technology</title>
+ <para>The Autobuilder has Yocto Project-specific functionality to allow builds to operate
+ with increased efficiency and speed.</para>
+ <section id='test-clobberdir'>
+ <title>clobberdir</title>
+ <para>When deleting files, the Autobuilder uses <filename>clobberdir</filename>, which
+ is a special script that moves files to a special location, rather than deleting
+ them. Files in this location are deleted by an <filename>rm</filename> command,
+ which is run under <filename>ionice -c 3</filename>. For example, the deletion only
+ happens when there is idle IO capacity on the Worker. The Autobuilder Worker Janitor
+ runs this deletion. See <link linkend="test-autobuilder-worker-janitor">Autobuilder
+ Worker Janitor</link>.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-autobuilder-clone-cache'>
+ <title>Autobuilder Clone Cache</title>
+ <para>Cloning repositories from scratch each time they are required was slow on the
+ Autobuilder. We therefore have a stash of commonly used repositories pre-cloned on
+ the Workers. Data is fetched from these during clones first, then "topped up" with
+ later revisions from any upstream when necesary. The cache is maintained by the
+ Autobuilder Worker Janitor. See <link linkend="test-autobuilder-worker-janitor"
+ >Autobuilder Worker Janitor</link>.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-autobuilder-worker-janitor'>
+ <title>Autobuilder Worker Janitor</title>
+ <para>This is a process running on each Worker that performs two basic operations,
+ including background file deletion at IO idle (see <link
+ linkend="test-list-tgt-exec-clobberdir">Target Execution: clobberdir</link>) and
+ maintainenance of a cache of cloned repositories to improve the speed the system can
+ checkout repositories.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-shared-dl-dir'>
+ <title>Shared DL_DIR</title>
+ <para>The Workers are all connected over NFS which allows DL_DIR to be shared between
+ them. This reduces network accesses from the system and allows the build to be sped
+ up. Usage of the directory within the build system is designed to be able to be
+ shared over NFS.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-shared-sstate-cache'>
+ <title>Shared SSTATE_DIR</title>
+ <para>The Workers are all connected over NFS which allows the
+ <filename>sstate</filename> directory to be shared between them. This means once
+ a Worker has built an artefact, all the others can benefit from it. Usage of the
+ directory within the directory is designed for sharing over NFS.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section id='test-resulttool'>
+ <title>Resulttool</title>
+ <para>All of the different tests run as part of the build generate output into
+ <filename>testresults.json</filename> files. This allows us to determine which
+ tests ran in a given build and their status. Additional information, such as failure
+ logs or the time taken to run the tests, may also be included.</para>
+ <para>Resulttool is part of OpenEmbedded-Core and is used to manipulate these json
+ results files. It has the ability to merge files together, display reports of the
+ test results and compare different result files.</para>
+ <para>For details, see <link linkend=""

+ <section id='test-run-config-tgt-execution'>
+ <title>run-config Target Execution</title>
+ <para>The <filename>scripts/run-config</filename> execution is where most of the work within

+<chapter id='toaster-manual-reference'>
+
+<title>Concepts and Reference</title>
+
+ <para>
+ In order to configure and use Toaster, you should understand some
+ concepts and have some basic command reference material available.
+ This final chapter provides conceptual information on layer sources,
+ releases, and JSON configuration files.
+ Also provided is a quick look at some useful
+ <filename>manage.py</filename> commands that are Toaster-specific.
+ Information on <filename>manage.py</filename> commands does exist
+ across the Web and the information in this manual by no means
+ attempts to provide a command comprehensive reference.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='layer-source'>
+ <title>Layer Source</title>
+
+ <para>
+ In general, a "layer source" is a source of information about
+ existing layers.
+ In particular, we are concerned with layers that you can use
+ with the Yocto Project and Toaster.
+ This chapter describes a particular type of layer source called
+ a "layer index."
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A layer index is a web application that contains information
+ about a set of custom layers.
+ A good example of an existing layer index is the
+ OpenEmbedded Layer Index.
+ A public instance of this layer index exists at
+ <ulink url='http://layers.openembedded.org'></ulink>.
+ You can find the code for this layer index's web application at
+ <ulink url='http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/layerindex-web/'></ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you tie a layer source into Toaster, it can query the layer
+ source through a
+ <ulink url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer'>REST</ulink>
+ API, store the information about the layers in the Toaster
+ database, and then show the information to users.
+ Users are then able to view that information and build layers
+ from Toaster itself without worrying about cloning or editing
+ the BitBake layers configuration file
+ <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Tying a layer source into Toaster is convenient when you have
+ many custom layers that need to be built on a regular basis by
+ a community of developers.
+ In fact, Toaster comes pre-configured with the OpenEmbedded
+ Metadata Index.
+ <note>
+ You do not have to use a layer source to use Toaster.
+ Tying into a layer source is optional.
+ </note>
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='layer-source-using-with-toaster'>
+ <title>Setting Up and Using a Layer Source</title>
+
+ <para>
+ To use your own layer source, you need to set up the layer
+ source and then tie it into Toaster.
+ This section describes how to tie into a layer index in a manner
+ similar to the way Toaster ties into the OpenEmbedded Metadata
+ Index.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='understanding-your-layers'>
+ <title>Understanding Your Layers</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The obvious first step for using a layer index is to have
+ several custom layers that developers build and access using
+ the Yocto Project on a regular basis.
+ This set of layers needs to exist and you need to be
+ familiar with where they reside.
+ You will need that information when you set up the
+ code for the web application that "hooks" into your set of
+ layers.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For general information on layers, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#the-yocto-project-layer-model'>The Yocto Project Layer Model</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual.
+ For information on how to create layers, see the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#understanding-and-creating-layers'>Understanding and Creating Layers</ulink>"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='configuring-toaster-to-hook-into-your-layer-source'>
+ <title>Configuring Toaster to Hook Into Your Layer Index</title>
+
+ <para>
+ If you want Toaster to use your layer index, you must host
+ the web application in a server to which Toaster can
+ connect.
+ You also need to give Toaster the information about your
+ layer index.
+ In other words, you have to configure Toaster to use your
+ layer index.
+ This section describes two methods by which you can
+ configure and use your layer index.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In the previous section, the code for the OpenEmbedded
+ Metadata Index (i.e.
+ <ulink url='http://layers.openembedded.org'></ulink>) was
+ referenced.
+ You can use this code, which is at
+ <ulink url='http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/layerindex-web/'></ulink>,
+ as a base to create your own layer index.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='use-the-administration-interface'>
+ <title>Use the Administration Interface</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Access the administration interface through a
+ browser by entering the URL of your Toaster instance and
+ adding "<filename>/admin</filename>" to the end of the
+ URL.
+ As an example, if you are running Toaster locally, use
+ the following URL:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The administration interface has a "Layer sources"
+ section that includes an "Add layer source" button.
+ Click that button and provide the required information.
+ Make sure you select "layerindex" as the layer source type.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='use-the-fixture-feature'>
+ <title>Use the Fixture Feature</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The Django fixture feature overrides the default layer
+ server when you use it to specify a custom URL. To use
+ the fixture feature, create (or edit) the file
+ <filename>bitbake/lib/toaster.orm/fixtures/custom.xml</filename>,
+ and then set the following Toaster setting to your
+ custom URL:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ <?xml version="1.0" ?>
+ <django-objects version="1.0">
+ <object model="orm.toastersetting" pk="100">
+ <field name="name" type="CharField">CUSTOM_LAYERINDEX_SERVER</field>
+ <field name="value" type="CharField">https://layers.my_organization.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/</field>
+ </object>
+ <django-objects>
+ </literallayout>
+ When you start Toaster for the first time, or if you
+ delete the file <filename>toaster.sqlite</filename> and restart,
+ the database will populate cleanly from this layer index server.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once the information has been updated, verify the new layer
+ information is available by using the Toaster web interface.
+ To do that, visit the "All compatible layers" page inside a
+ Toaster project. The layers from your layer source should be
+ listed there.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you change the information in your layer index server,
+ refresh the Toaster database by running the following command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py lsupdates
+ </literallayout>
+ If Toaster can reach the API URL, you should see a message
+ telling you that Toaster is updating the layer source information.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+ </section>
+ </section>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='toaster-releases'>
+ <title>Releases</title>
+
+ <para>
+ When you create a Toaster project using the web interface,
+ you are asked to choose a "Release."
+ In the context of Toaster, the term "Release" refers to a set of
+ layers and a BitBake version the OpenEmbedded build system uses
+ to build something.
+ As shipped, Toaster is pre-configured with releases that
+ correspond to Yocto Project release branches.
+ However, you can modify, delete, and create new releases
+ according to your needs.
+ This section provides some background information on releases.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='toaster-releases-supported'>
+ <title>Pre-Configured Releases</title>
+
+ <para>
+ As shipped, Toaster is configured to use a specific set of
+ releases.
+ Of course, you can always configure Toaster to use any
+ release.
+ For example, you might want your project to build against a
+ specific commit of any of the "out-of-the-box" releases.
+ Or, you might want your project to build against different
+ revisions of OpenEmbedded and BitBake.

+<title>Preparing to Use Toaster</title>
+

+ This chapter describes how you need to prepare your system in order to
+ use Toaster.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='toaster-setting-up-the-basic-system-requirements'>
+ <title>Setting Up the Basic System Requirements</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Before you can use Toaster, you need to first set up your
+ build system to run the Yocto Project.
+ To do this, follow the instructions in the
+ "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#dev-preparing-the-build-host'>Preparing the Build Host</ulink>"
+ section of the Yocto Project Development Tasks
+ Manual.
+ For Ubuntu/Debian, you might also need to do an additional install
+ of pip3.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id='toaster-establishing-toaster-system-dependencies'>
+ <title>Establishing Toaster System Dependencies</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Toaster requires extra Python dependencies in order to run.
+ A Toaster requirements file named
+ <filename>toaster-requirements.txt</filename> defines the
+ Python dependencies.
+ The requirements file is located in the
+ <filename>bitbake</filename> directory, which is located in the
+ root directory of the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+ (e.g. <filename>poky/bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt</filename>).
+ The dependencies appear in a <filename>pip</filename>,
+ install-compatible format.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='toaster-load-packages'>
+ <title>Install Toaster Packages</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You need to install the packages that Toaster requires.
+ Use this command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ pip3 install --user -r bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt
+ </literallayout>
+ The previous command installs the necessary Toaster modules
+ into a local python 3 cache in your
+ <filename>$HOME</filename> directory.
+ The caches is actually located in
+ <filename>$HOME/.local</filename>.
+ To see what packages have been installed into your
+ <filename>$HOME</filename> directory, do the following:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ pip3 list installed --local
+ </literallayout>
+ If you need to remove something, the following works:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ pip3 uninstall PackageNameToUninstall
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+<!-- Commenting this section out for now in case it needs to be used again.
+
+ <section id='toaster-install-daemon'>
+ <title>Install <filename>daemon</filename></title>
+
+ <para>
+ Toaster depends on
+ <ulink url='http://www.libslack.org/daemon/'><filename>daemon</filename></ulink>.
+ Depending on your distribution, how you install
+ <filename>daemon</filename> differs:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Debian-Based Systems:</emphasis>
+ If you are running a Debian-based distribution,
+ install <filename>daemon</filename> using the
+ following command:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ sudo apt-get install daemon​
+ </literallayout>
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para><emphasis>Non-Debian-Based Systems:</emphasis>
+ If you are not running a Debian-based distribution
+ (Redhat-based distribution such as Fedora),
+ you need to download ​the file relevant to the
+ architecture and then install
+ <filename>daemon</filename> manually.
+ Following are the commands for 64-bit distributions:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ wget http://libslack.org/daemon/download/daemon-0.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm
+ $ sudo rpm -i daemon-0.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm
+ </literallayout>
+ Here are the commands for a 32-bit distribution:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ wget http://libslack.org/daemon/download/daemon-0.6.4-1.i686.rpm
+ $ sudo rpm -i ​daemon-0.6.4-1.i686.rpm​

-Subject: [PATCH] mips: add 34Kf-64tlb fictitious cpu type like 34Kf but with
- 64 TLBs
-
-In Yocto Project CI runs it was observed that test run
-of 32 bit mips image takes almost twice longer than 64 bit
-mips image with the same logical load and CI execution
-hits timeout.
-
-See https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13992
-
-Yocto project uses 34Kf cpu type to run 32 bit mips image,
-and MIPS64R2-generic cpu type to run 64 bit mips64 image.
-
-Upon qemu behavior differences investigation between mips
-and mips64 two prominent observations came up: under
-logically similar load (same definition and configuration
-of user-land image) in case of mips get_physical_address
-function is called almost twice more often, meaning
-twice more memory accesses involved in this case. Also
-number of tlbwr instruction executed (r4k_helper_tlbwr
-qemu function) almost 16 time bigger in mips case than in
-mips64.
-
-It turns out that 34Kf cpu has 16 TLBs, but in case of
-MIPS64R2-generic it is 64 TLBs. So that explains why
-some many more tlbwr had to be execute by kernel TLB refill
-handler in case of 32 bit misp.
-
-The idea of the fix is to come up with new 34Kf-64tlb fictitious
-cpu type, that would behave exactly as 34Kf but it would
-contain 64 TLBs to reduce TLB trashing. After all, adding
-more TLBs to soft mmu is easy.
-
-Experiment with some significant non-trvial load in Yocto
-environment by running do_testimage load shows that 34Kf-64tlb
-cpu performs 40% or so better than original 34Kf cpu wrt test
-execution real time.
-
-It is not ideal to have cpu type that does not exist in the
-wild but given performance gains it seems to be justified.

+ WARNING: File '.../tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/bjam' \

-Subject: [PATCH] rngd: fix --debug to also filter syslog() calls
-
-Debug logs were only controlled by --debug flag while in --foreground
-mode. In --daemon mode /var/log/message got stuffed with details of
-entropy pool refilling, which is useless in production, and hamful
-when log rotation then gets rid of the more useful logs. This is
-especially true for embedded systems.
-
-This change makes the two modes consistently only produce debug logs when
---debug is specified.
