-Sphinx

-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:
 
-https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/tree/documentation/README
+     $ make DOC=bitbake-user-manual
 
-How to build the Yocto Project documentation
-============================================

+========
+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.

+
+    <para>
+        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
+                parallel thread execution on your build host by setting the
+                <link linkend='var-bb-BB_NUMBER_THREADS'><filename>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</filename></link>
+                variable in your project's <filename>local.conf</filename>

+
+            <para>
+                A common method to determine this value for your build host is to run
+                the following:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ grep processor /proc/cpuinfo
+                </literallayout>
+                This command returns the number of processors, which takes into
+                account hyper-threading.
+                Thus, a quad-core build host with hyper-threading most likely
+                shows eight processors, which is the value you would then assign to
+                <filename>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</filename>.

+
+            <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 first four variables in this list relate to how BitBake treats shell

+            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

+            BitBake first searches the current working directory for an

+            <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>

+            <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

+            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.

+            Some variables directly influence BitBake's behavior.
+            These variables might have been set from the environment

+            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.

+            A good way to get an idea of the configuration files and

+     $ bitbake -e > mybb.log
+            </literallayout>
+            Examining the top of the <filename>mybb.log</filename>

+                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

+     fakeroot create_shar() {

+     EOF
+     }
+                </literallayout>
+                Writing the recipe this way avoids the error:

+     fakeroot create_shar() {
+         cat &lt;&lt; "EOF" &gt; ${SDK_DEPLOY}/${TOOLCHAIN_OUTPUTNAME}.sh

+            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

+            </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

+        </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>:

+     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>
+            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>

+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            When a recipe uses <filename>PROVIDES</filename>, that recipe's
+            functionality can be found under an alternative name or names other
+            than the implicit <filename>PN</filename> name.
+            As an example, suppose a recipe named <filename>keyboard_1.0.bb</filename>

+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PROVIDES += "fullkeyboard"

+            The <filename>PROVIDES</filename> list for this recipe becomes

+            Consequently, the functionality found in
+            <filename>keyboard_1.0.bb</filename> can be found under two

+

+            A common example in which a target has multiple providers
+            is "virtual/kernel", which is on the

+            Each machine often selects the best kernel provider by using a

+     PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-yocto"

+        </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

+            variable to specify a particular version.
+            You can influence the order by using the

+            <filename>PREFERRED_VERSION</filename> overrides any
+            <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> setting.
+            <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> is often used to mark newer

+
+        <para>
+            When there are multiple “versions” of a given recipe,

+            <link linkend='var-bb-DEFAULT_PREFERENCE'><filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename></link>
+            set lower than the other recipes (default is 0), then

+            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>

+                It is common for a recipe to provide two versions -- a stable,

+            variable.
+            BitBake continues to fork threads as long as there are tasks ready to run,

+            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

+            The exact format of the stamps is partly configurable.
+            In modern versions of BitBake, a hash is appended to the

+            It is also possible to append extra metadata to the stamp using

+            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.

+        <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:

+            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.
+            <note>
+                It is likely that future versions of BitBake will
+                provide other signature handlers triggered through
+                additional "-S" parameters.

+            When BitBake is asked to build a given target, before building anything,

+            BitBake first calls the function defined by the

+            variable with a list of tasks and corresponding

+            Next, for each of the tasks that were returned as possibilities,

+                    and user configuration specify a handler named
+                    <filename>myhandler</filename>, the user defined one will
+                    replace the default. To prevent the user from inadvertently
+                    replacing a default handler, formatter, or filter, all of
+                    the default ones are named with a prefix of

+
+    <para>
+        BitBake's fetch module is a standalone piece of library code
+        that deals with the intricacies of downloading source code
+        and files from remote systems.
+        Fetching source code is one of the cornerstones of building software.
+        As such, this module forms an important part of BitBake.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The current fetch module is called "fetch2" and refers to the
+        fact that it is the second major version of the API.
+        The original version is obsolete and has been removed from the codebase.
+        Thus, in all cases, "fetch" refers to "fetch2" in this
+        manual.
+    </para>

+        <title>The Download (Fetch)</title>
+
+        <para>
+            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 \
+         svn://.*/.*   http://somemirror.org/sources/ \n"
+
+     MIRRORS =+ "\
+         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.

+            <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

+            The unpack process usually immediately follows the download.

+                The fetcher supports a parameter "downloadfilename" that

+                Specifying the name of the downloaded file is useful

+            <note>
+               Because URL parameters are delimited by semi-colons, this can
+               introduce ambiguity when parsing URLs that also contain semi-colons,
+               for example:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     SRC_URI = "http://abc123.org/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;a=snapshot;h=a5dd47"
+                </literallayout>
+               Such URLs should should be modified by replacing semi-colons with '&amp;' characters:
+               <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     SRC_URI = "http://abc123.org/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git&amp;a=snapshot&amp;h=a5dd47"

+                In most cases this should work. Treating semi-colons and '&amp;' in queries
+                identically is recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
+                Note that due to the nature of the URL, you may have to specify the name
+                of the downloaded file as well:

+            The tutorial describes how to create a new project

+        <title>Setting Up the BitBake Environment</title>
+
+        <para>
+            First, you need to be sure that you can run BitBake.
+            Set your working directory to where your local BitBake
+            files are and run the following command:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ ./bin/bitbake --version
+     BitBake Build Tool Core version 1.23.0, bitbake version 1.23.0
+            </literallayout>
+            The console output tells you what version you are running.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            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
+            <filename>PATH</filename>.
+            Here is an example that adds the
+            <filename>/home/scott-lenovo/bitbake/bin</filename> directory
+            to the front of the <filename>PATH</filename> variable:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ export PATH=/home/scott-lenovo/bitbake/bin:$PATH
+            </literallayout>
+            You should now be able to enter the <filename>bitbake</filename>
+            command from the command line while working from any directory.

+            The overall goal of this exercise is to build a
+            complete "Hello World" example utilizing task and layer
+            concepts.
+            Because this is how modern projects such as OpenEmbedded and
+            the Yocto Project utilize BitBake, the example
+            provides an excellent starting point for understanding
+            BitBake.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To help you understand how to use BitBake to build targets,
+            the example starts with nothing but the <filename>bitbake</filename>
+            command, which causes BitBake to fail and report problems.
+            The example progresses by adding pieces to the build to
+            eventually conclude with a working, minimal "Hello World"
+            example.

+            Also, you can actively participate in the

+            This example was inspired by and drew heavily from

+        <para>
+            As stated earlier, the goal of this example
+            is to eventually compile "Hello World".
+            However, it is unknown what BitBake needs and what you have
+            to provide in order to achieve that goal.
+            Recall that BitBake utilizes three types of metadata files:
+            <link linkend='configuration-files'>Configuration Files</link>,
+            <link linkend='classes'>Classes</link>, and
+            <link linkend='recipes'>Recipes</link>.
+            But where do they go?
+            How does BitBake find them?
+            BitBake's error messaging helps you answer these types of questions
+            and helps you better understand exactly what is going on.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Following is the complete "Hello World" example.

+            <listitem><para><emphasis>Create a Project Directory:</emphasis>
+                First, set up a directory for the "Hello World" project.
+                Here is how you can do so in your home directory:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ mkdir ~/hello
+     $ cd ~/hello
+                </literallayout>
+                This is the directory that BitBake will use to do all of
+                its work.
+                You can use this directory to keep all the metafiles needed
+                by BitBake.
+                Having a project directory is a good way to isolate your
+                project.

+            <listitem><para><emphasis>Run BitBake:</emphasis>
+                At this point, you have nothing but a project directory.
+                Run the <filename>bitbake</filename> command and see what
+                it does:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake
+     The BBPATH variable is not set and bitbake did not

+                <filename>BBPATH</filename> is not set and you need to set it.
+                Without <filename>BBPATH</filename>, BitBake cannot

+        Welcome to the BitBake User Manual.
+        This manual provides information on the BitBake tool.
+        The information attempts to be as independent as possible regarding
+        systems that use BitBake, such as OpenEmbedded and the
+        Yocto Project.
+        In some cases, scenarios or examples within the context of
+        a build system are used in the manual to help with understanding.
+        For these cases, the manual clearly states the context.

+            Fundamentally, BitBake is a generic task execution
+            engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
+            efficiently and in parallel while working within
+            complex inter-task dependency constraints.
+            One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core
+            and builds embedded Linux software stacks using

+
+        <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>
+            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

+
+        <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.

+            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>
+            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.

+                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.

+                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>
+                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

+                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:

+     busybox_1.21.%.bbappend

+                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

+                <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

+                If the <filename>busybox</filename> recipe was updated to

+     $ 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).

+                             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_&lt;task&gt;).
+       -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.

+                             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

+       -u UI, --ui=UI        The user interface to use (knotty, ncurses or taskexp
+                             - default knotty).
+       --token=XMLRPCTOKEN   Specify the connection token to be used when

+                             and everything needed, built.
+       --setscene-only       Only run setscene tasks, don't run any real tasks.

+                    Executing tasks for a single recipe file is relatively simple.
+                    You specify the file in question, and BitBake parses
+                    it and executes the specified task.
+                    If you do not specify a task, BitBake executes the default
+                    task, which is "build”.
+                    BitBake obeys inter-task dependencies when doing

+                    BitBake is able to generate dependency graphs using

+                    You can convert these graphs into images using the

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

+
+                <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>
+                    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:

+                    Here is an example for two extra multiconfigs:

+
+                <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

+                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.

+                The most common use for the "\" character is to split variable

+                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'>

+                    Unlike in Bourne shells, the curly braces are mandatory:

+                    <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"

+     B = "norf"
+     *At this point, ${A} equals "norf baz"*
+                </literallayout>

+
+            <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.

+                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:

+     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

+                "+=" 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>"

+     FOO[b] = "123"

+                The variable <filename>FOO</filename> has two flags:
+                <filename>[a]</filename> and <filename>[b]</filename>.
+                The flags are immediately set to "abc" and "123", respectively.

+                One extremely common application
+                is to attach some brief documentation to a BitBake variable as

+            <para>
+                You can use inline Python variable expansion to
+                set variables.
+                Here is an example:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     DATE = "${@time.strftime('%Y%m%d',time.gmtime())}"
+                </literallayout>
+                This example results in the <filename>DATE</filename>
+                variable being set to the current date.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Probably the most common use of this feature is to extract
+                the value of variables from BitBake's internal data dictionary,
+                <filename>d</filename>.
+                The following lines select the values of a package name
+                and its version number, respectively:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PN = "${@bb.parse.BBHandler.vars_from_file(d.getVar('FILE', False),d)[0] or 'defaultpkgname'}"
+     PV = "${@bb.parse.BBHandler.vars_from_file(d.getVar('FILE', False),d)[1] or '1.0'}"
+                </literallayout>
+                <note>
+                    Inline Python expressions work just like variable expansions
+                    insofar as the "=" and ":=" operators are concerned.
+                    Given the following assignment, <filename>foo()</filename>
+                    is called each time <filename>FOO</filename> is expanded:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     FOO = "${@foo()}"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    Contrast this with the following immediate assignment, where
+                    <filename>foo()</filename> is only called once, while the
+                    assignment is parsed:

+                Key expansion happens when the BitBake datastore is finalized.

+                BitBake expands <filename>${B}</filename> into "2".
+                This expansion causes <filename>A2</filename>, which was

+                Despite the previous explanations that show the different forms of
+                variable definitions, it can be hard to work
+                out exactly what happens when variable operators, conditional
+                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".

+                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.

+                You could create an include file named <filename>foo.inc</filename>
+                that contains the common definitions needed to build "foo".
+                You need to be sure <filename>foo.inc</filename> is located in the

+                Once these conditions are set up, you can share the functionality
+                using a <filename>require</filename> directive from within each

+                When creating a configuration file (<filename>.conf</filename>),

+                configuration directive to inherit a class.
+                BitBake only supports this directive when used within

+            <para>
+                As an example, suppose you needed to inherit a class
+                file called <filename>abc.bbclass</filename> from a
+                configuration file as follows:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     INHERIT += "abc"
+                </literallayout>
+                This configuration directive causes the named
+                class to be inherited at the point of the directive
+                during parsing.
+                As with the <filename>inherit</filename> directive, the
+                <filename>.bbclass</filename> file must be located in a
+                "classes" subdirectory in one of the directories specified
+                in <filename>BBPATH</filename>.
+                <note>
+                    Because <filename>.conf</filename> files are parsed
+                    first during BitBake's execution, using
+                    <filename>INHERIT</filename> to inherit a class effectively
+                    inherits the class globally (i.e. for all recipes).
+                </note>
+                If you want to use the directive to inherit
+                multiple classes, you can provide them on the same line in the
+                <filename>local.conf</filename> file.
+                Use spaces to separate the classes.
+                The following example shows how to inherit both the
+                <filename>autotools</filename> and <filename>pkgconfig</filename>

+                Due to their simplicity, you should prefer regular Python functions

+                Regular Python functions in metadata are a more recent invention than

+                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")
+     }

+                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

+                    <listitem><para>
+                        The class needs to define the function as follows:

+     <replaceable>classname</replaceable><filename>_</filename><replaceable>functionname</replaceable>
+                        </literallayout>
+                        For example, if you have a class file

+                        <filename>do_foo</filename>, the class must define the function

+                        Continuing with the same example, if your recipe

+                <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 () {

+                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>
+                    You can also explicitly run the task and provide the

+                    command, you can omit the "do_" prefix as part of the

+                You might wonder about the practical effects of using

+                command and the task has dependencies, the dependencies are

+                For example, suppose you have three tasks named

+                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
+                build task environment, you must take these two steps:
+                <orderedlist>
+                    <listitem><para>
+                        Tell BitBake to load what you want from the environment
+                        into the datastore.
+                        You can do so through the
+                        <link linkend='var-bb-BB_ENV_WHITELIST'><filename>BB_ENV_WHITELIST</filename></link>
+                        and

+                        variables.
+                        For example, assume you want to prevent the build system from
+                        accessing your <filename>$HOME/.ccache</filename>
+                        directory.
+                        The following command "whitelists" the environment variable
+                        <filename>CCACHE_DIR</filename> causing BitBake to allow that
+                        variable into the datastore:
+                        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     export BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE="$BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE CCACHE_DIR"

+                        Tell BitBake to export what you have loaded into the
+                        datastore to the task environment of every running task.
+                        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:

+                            A side effect of the previous steps is that BitBake
+                            records the variable as a dependency of the build process
+                            in things like the setscene checksums.
+                            If doing so results in unnecessary rebuilds of tasks, you can
+                            whitelist the variable so that the setscene code
+                            ignores the dependency when it creates checksums.

+                The datastore object is useful, for example, to find the original

+            Variable flags (varflags) help control a task's functionality

+            BitBake reads and writes varflags to the datastore using the following

+            When working with varflags, the same syntax, with the exception of

+            In other words, you can set, append, and prepend varflags just like

+            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:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     addhandler myclass_eventhandler
+     python myclass_eventhandler() {
+         from bb.event import getName
+         print("The name of the Event is %s" % getName(e))
+         print("The file we run for is %s" % d.getVar('FILE'))
+     }
+     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.

+                    This variable allows a single recipe to build multiple versions of a

+                    You can also specify conditional metadata
+                    (using the
+                    <link linkend='var-bb-OVERRIDES'><filename>OVERRIDES</filename></link>
+                    mechanism) for a single version, or an optionally named range of versions.

+                BitBake looks through the build-time and runtime

+                This more generic form allows for inter-dependency

+            BitBake uses checksums (or signatures) along with the setscene
+            to determine if a task needs to be run.
+            This section describes the process.
+            To help understand how BitBake does this, the section assumes an
+            OpenEmbedded metadata-based example.

+            You can examine the checksums using the following BitBake command:

+     $ bitbake-dumpsigs
+            </literallayout>
+            This command returns the signature data in a readable format
+            that allows you to examine the inputs used when the
+            OpenEmbedded build system generates signatures.
+            For example, using <filename>bitbake-dumpsigs</filename>

+            task's “sigdata” for a C application (e.g.
+            <filename>bash</filename>).
+            Running the command also reveals that the “CC” variable is part of
+            the inputs that are hashed.
+            Any changes to this variable would invalidate the stamp and

+                      a threshold is broken.
+           WARN:      Issue a warning but continue the
+                      build when a threshold is broken.
+                      Subsequent warnings are issued as

+                      which must be defined.
+
+        &lt;dir&gt; is:
+           Any directory you choose. You can specify one or
+           more directories to monitor by separating the
+           groupings with a space.  If two directories are
+           on the same device, only the first directory
+           is monitored.
+
+        &lt;threshold&gt; is:
+           Either the minimum available disk space,
+           the minimum number of free inodes, or
+           both.  You must specify at least one.  To
+           omit one or the other, simply omit the value.
+           Specify the threshold using G, M, K for Gbytes,
+           Mbytes, and Kbytes, respectively. If you do
+           not specify G, M, or K, Kbytes is assumed by
+           default.  Do not use GB, MB, or KB.

+                    Some examples of these variants for recipes from the
+                    OpenEmbedded-Core metadata are "natives" such as
+                    <filename>quilt-native</filename>, which is a copy of
+                    Quilt built to run on the build system; "crosses" such
+                    as <filename>gcc-cross</filename>, which is a compiler
+                    built to run on the build machine but produces binaries
+                    that run on the target <filename>MACHINE</filename>;
+                    "nativesdk", which targets the SDK machine instead of

+                    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"

+                        <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>

+                        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

+                        You cannot use the wildcard character in any other

+                <para>
+                    Lists a package's runtime dependencies (i.e. other packages)
+                    that must be installed in order for the built package to run
+                    correctly.
+                    If a package in this list cannot be found during the build,
+                    you will get a build error.

+
+                <para>
+                    Because the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable applies
+                    to packages being built, you should always use the variable
+                    in a form with an attached package name.
+                    For example, suppose you are building a development package
+                    that depends on the <filename>perl</filename> package.
+                    In this case, you would use the following
+                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> statement:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     RDEPENDS_${PN}-dev += "perl"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    In the example, the development package depends on
+                    the <filename>perl</filename> package.
+                    Thus, the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable has the
+                    <filename>${PN}-dev</filename> package name as part of the
+                    variable.
+                </para>

+                    Although the syntax varies depending on the packaging
+                    format, BitBake hides these differences from you.
+                    Here is the general syntax to specify versions with
+                    the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable:

+     RDEPENDS_${PN} = "<replaceable>package</replaceable> (<replaceable>operator</replaceable> <replaceable>version</replaceable>)"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    For <filename>operator</filename>, you can specify the
+                    following:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     =

+     &gt;
+     &lt;=
+     &gt;=
+                    </literallayout>
+                    For example, the following sets up a dependency on version
+                    1.2 or greater of the package <filename>foo</filename>:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     RDEPENDS_${PN} = "foo (>= 1.2)"

+   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

-# 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.

+
+    <para>
+        Recall that earlier the manual discussed how to use an existing toolchain
+        tarball that had been installed into the default installation
+        directory, <filename>/opt/poky/&DISTRO;</filename>, which is outside of the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>
+        (see the section "<link linkend='using-an-existing-toolchain-tarball'>Using a Cross-Toolchain Tarball)</link>".
+        And, that sourcing your architecture-specific environment setup script
+        initializes a suitable cross-toolchain development environment.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        During this setup, locations for the compiler, QEMU scripts, QEMU binary,
+        a special version of <filename>pkgconfig</filename> and other useful
+        utilities are added to the <filename>PATH</filename> variable.
+        Also, variables to assist
+        <filename>pkgconfig</filename> and <filename>autotools</filename>
+        are also defined so that, for example, <filename>configure.sh</filename>
+        can find pre-generated test results for tests that need target hardware
+        on which to run.
+        You can see the
+        "<link linkend='setting-up-the-cross-development-environment'>Setting Up the Cross-Development Environment</link>"
+        section for the list of cross-toolchain environment variables
+        established by the script.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Collectively, these conditions allow you to easily use the toolchain
+        outside of the OpenEmbedded build environment on both Autotools-based
+        projects and Makefile-based projects.
+        This chapter provides information for both these types of projects.

+        Once you have a suitable cross-toolchain installed, it is very easy to

+                    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

+        <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
+     $ automake -a
+                </literallayout>

+
+    <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

+        </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

+                </para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para><emphasis>Case 3 - Variables Set when the <filename>Makefile</filename> is Executed from the Command Line:</emphasis>

+                In this case, environment variables are not considered unless

+     $ make -e <replaceable>file</replaceable>
+                </literallayout>
+                If you use this flag, then the environment values of the

+            The Eclipse IDE is a popular development environment and it fully supports
+            development using the Yocto Project.
+            When you install and configure the Eclipse Yocto Project Plug-in into
+            the Eclipse IDE, you maximize your Yocto Project experience.
+            Installing and configuring the Plug-in results in an environment that
+            has extensions specifically designed to let you more easily develop software.
+            These extensions allow for cross-compilation, deployment, and execution of
+            your output into a QEMU emulation session.
+            You can also perform cross-debugging and profiling.
+            The environment also supports a suite of tools that allows you to perform
+            remote profiling, tracing, collection of power data, collection of
+            latency data, and collection of performance data.

+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+    <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.

+    <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>

+                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>

+    <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.

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

+
+    <para>
+        The following list describes installation methods that set up varying
+        degrees of tool availability on your system.
+        Regardless of the installation method you choose,
+        you must <filename>source</filename> the cross-toolchain
+        environment setup script, which establishes several key
+        environment variables, before you use a toolchain.
+        See the

+

+        <para>
+            Avoid mixing installation methods when installing toolchains for
+            different architectures.
+            For example, avoid using the ADT Installer to install some
+            toolchains and then hand-installing cross-development toolchains
+            by running the toolchain installer for different architectures.
+            Mixing installation methods can result in situations where the
+            ADT Installer becomes unreliable and might not install the
+            toolchain.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            If you must mix installation methods, you might avoid problems by
+            deleting <filename>/var/lib/opkg</filename>, thus purging the
+            <filename>opkg</filename> package metadata.

+                This method is the recommended way to install the ADT because it
+                automates much of the process for you.
+                For example, you can configure the installation to install the QEMU emulator
+                and the user-space NFS, specify which root filesystem profiles to download,

+                Using this method, you select and download an architecture-specific
+                toolchain installer and then run the script to hand-install the toolchain.
+                If you use this method, you just get the cross-toolchain and QEMU - you do not
+                get any of the other mentioned benefits had you run the ADT Installer script.</para></listitem>

+                you can build the cross-toolchain within the directory.
+                However, like the previous method mentioned, you only get the cross-toolchain and QEMU - you
+                do not get any of the other benefits without taking separate steps.</para></listitem>

+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>,

+            the cross-development environment setup script to establish

+            If you installed the toolchain by hand, the environment setup

+            <filename>/opt/poky/&DISTRO;</filename> directory.
+            The third command extracts the root filesystem from a previously
+            built filesystem that is located in the
+            <filename>~/Downloads</filename> directory.
+            Furthermore, this command extracts the root filesystem into the

+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.
+        <note>
+            Although not the preferred method, it is also possible to use

+            installer.
+            If you do use this method, you must separately install and extract
+            the target sysroot.
+            For information on how to install the sysroot, see the
+            "<link linkend='extracting-the-root-filesystem'>Extracting the Root Filesystem</link>"

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

+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake <replaceable>image</replaceable> -c populate_sdk
+        </literallayout>
+        The command results in a toolchain installer that contains the sysroot
+        that matches your target root filesystem.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Another powerful feature is that the toolchain is 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> archive.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Another feature is that only one set of cross-canadian toolchain
+        binaries are produced per 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 a sysroot is still needed for every target
+        since those binaries are target-specific.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+         Remember, before using any BitBake command, you
+         must source the build environment setup script
+         (i.e.

+         located in the Source Directory and you must make sure your
+         <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> variables are correct.
+         In particular, you need to be sure the
+         <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></ulink>
+         variable matches the architecture for which you are building and that

+         <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDKMACHINE'><filename>SDKMACHINE</filename></ulink>
+         variable is correctly set if you are building a toolchain designed to

+
+    <para>
+        When the <filename>bitbake</filename> command completes, the toolchain
+        installer will be in
+        <filename>tmp/deploy/sdk</filename> in the Build Directory.
+        <note>
+            By default, this toolchain does not build static binaries.
+            If you want to use the toolchain to build these types of libraries,

+                The following command form sets up the emulation environment.
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+                    qemuppc, qemumips, or qemuarm.
+
+         <replaceable>kernel-image</replaceable> is the architecture-specific kernel image.
+

+            </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

+            </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.

+            In general, layers are repositories that contain related sets of

+            to do.
+            Isolating related metadata into functionally specific layers
+            facilitates modular development and makes it easier to reuse the

+<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 \

+        Defining a common BSP directory structure allows
+        end-users to understand and become familiar with
+        that standard.
+        A common format also encourages standardization
+        of software support for hardware.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The proposed form described in this section does
+        have elements that are specific to the OpenEmbedded
+        build system.
+        It is intended that developers can use this structure
+        with other build systems besides the OpenEmbedded build
+        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
+        in one place using a standard format, which is useful
+        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
+        or other tools - the specification is concerned with
+        the hardware-specific components only.
+        At the end-distribution point, you can ship the BSP
+        layer combined with a build system and other tools.
+        Realize that it is important to maintain the distinction
+        that the BSP layer, a build system, and tools are
+        separate components that could be combined in
+        certain end products.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Before looking at the recommended form for the directory structure
+        inside a BSP layer, you should be aware that some
+        requirements do exist in order for a BSP layer to

+                Layers are ideal for isolating and storing work
+                for a given piece of hardware.
+                A layer is really just a location or area in which you
+                place the recipes and configurations for your BSP.
+                In fact, a BSP is, in itself, a special type of layer.
+                The simplest way to create a new BSP layer that is
+                compliant with the Yocto Project is to use the
+                <filename>bitbake-layers</filename> script.
+                For information about that script, see the
+                "<link linkend='creating-a-new-bsp-layer-using-the-bitbake-layers-script'>Creating a New BSP Layer Using the <filename>bitbake-layers</filename> Script</link>"
+                section.</para>
+
+                <para>Another example that illustrates a 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
+                recipes that define those dependencies are kept.
+                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.

+                If your layer does not support multiple machines,
+                the layer would not have that additional hierarchy
+                and the files would obviously not be able to reside

+    <title>BSP Licensing Considerations</title>
+
+    <para>
+        In some cases, a BSP contains separately-licensed
+        Intellectual Property (IP) for a component or components.
+        For these cases, you are required to accept the terms
+        of a commercial or other type of license that requires
+        some kind of explicit End User License Agreement (EULA).
+        Once you accept the license, the OpenEmbedded build system
+        can then build and include the corresponding component
+        in the final BSP image.
+        If the BSP is available as a pre-built image, you can
+        download the image after agreeing to the license or EULA.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        You could find that some separately-licensed components
+        that are essential for normal operation of the system might
+        not have an unencumbered (or free) substitute.
+        Without these essential components, the system would be
+        non-functional.
+        Then again, you might find that other licensed components
+        that are simply 'good-to-have' or purely elective do have
+        an unencumbered, free replacement component that you can
+        use rather than agreeing to the separately-licensed
+        component.
+        Even for components essential to the system, you might
+        find an unencumbered component that is not identical but
+        will work as a less-capable version of the licensed version
+        in the BSP recipe.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        For cases where you can substitute a free component and
+        still maintain the system's functionality, the "DOWNLOADS"
+        selection from the "SOFTWARE" tab on the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;'>Yocto Project website</ulink>
+        makes available de-featured BSPs that are completely free
+        of any IP encumbrances.
+        For these cases, you can use the substitution directly and
+        without any further licensing requirements.
+        If present, these fully de-featured BSPs are named
+        appropriately different as compared to the names of their
+        respective encumbered BSPs.
+        If available, these substitutions are your simplest and
+        most preferred options.
+        Obviously, use of these substitutions assumes the resulting
+        functionality meets system requirements.
+        <note>
+            If however, a non-encumbered version is unavailable or
+            it provides unsuitable functionality or quality, you can
+            use an encumbered version.

+                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

+                        Before creating a new layer, you should be sure someone
+                        has not already created a layer containing the Metadata
+                        you need.

+                        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.

+                        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

+                        the directory with the string "meta-".
+                        For example:

+     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.

+                        It is easiest to take an existing layer configuration

+                        <filename>conf</filename> directory and then modify the

+                        For your layer, you need to replace "yoctobsp" with

+                                Adds the layer's root directory to BitBake's
+                                search path.
+                                Through the use of the
+                                <filename>BBPATH</filename> variable, BitBake
+                                locates class files
+                                (<filename>.bbclass</filename>),
+                                configuration files, and files that are

+                                For these cases, BitBake uses the first file
+                                that matches the name found in

+                To create layers that are easier to maintain and that will

+                        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.

+                        <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.

+                        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:

+                                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:

+     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

+                                building machine "one", use a machine override

+                                You should follow the same strategy when using
+                                <filename>_append</filename> and
+                                <filename>_prepend</filename> operations:

+                When you create a layer used with the Yocto Project, it is
+                advantageous to make sure that the layer interacts well with
+                existing Yocto Project layers (i.e. the layer is compatible
+                with the Yocto Project).
+                Ensuring compatibility makes the layer easy to be consumed
+                by others in the Yocto Project community and could allow you
+                permission to use the Yocto Project Compatible Logo.

+                A recipe that appends Metadata to another recipe is called a

+                A BitBake append file uses the <filename>.bbappend</filename>

+                Being able to append information to an existing recipe not only

+                If you were copying recipes, you would have to manually merge

+                When you create an append file, you must use the same root

+                For example, the append file
+                <filename>someapp_&DISTRO;.bbappend</filename> must apply to
+                <filename>someapp_&DISTRO;.bb</filename>.
+                This means the original recipe and append file names are

+                If the corresponding recipe is renamed to update to a newer
+                version, you must also rename and possibly update

+                During the build process, BitBake displays an error on starting

+                                Consider the following example.
+                                Here, the <filename>bitbake-layers</filename>
+                                command adds the line
+                                <filename>#### bbappended ...</filename> so that
+                                you know where the following lines originate:
+                                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     ...

+                In its simplest form, you can use the following command form
+                to create a layer.
+                The command creates a layer whose name corresponds to
+                <replaceable>your_layer_name</replaceable> in the current
+                directory:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake-layers create-layer <replaceable>your_layer_name</replaceable>
+                </literallayout>
+                As an example, the following command creates a layer named
+                <filename>meta-scottrif</filename> in your home directory:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd /usr/home
+     $ bitbake-layers create-layer meta-scottrif
+     NOTE: Starting bitbake server...
+     Add your new layer with 'bitbake-layers add-layer meta-scottrif'

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                If you want to set the priority of the layer to other than the
+                default value of "6", you can either use the
+                <filename>&dash;&dash;priority</filename> option or you can
+                edit the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BBFILE_PRIORITY'><filename>BBFILE_PRIORITY</filename></ulink>
+                value in the <filename>conf/layer.conf</filename> after the
+                script creates it.
+                Furthermore, if you want to give the example recipe file
+                some name other than the default, you can
+                use the
+                <filename>&dash;&dash;example-recipe-name</filename> option.

+            <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:

+     IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " strace"
+                </literallayout>
+                Use of the syntax is important - specifically, the space between

+                <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

+                variable.
+                If you use this variable, only

+                You can also customize an image by creating a custom recipe
+                that defines additional software as part of the image.
+                The following example shows the form for the two lines you need:

+                Defining the software using a custom recipe gives you total
+                control over the contents of the image.
+                It is important to use the correct names of packages in the
+                <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'>IMAGE_INSTALL</ulink></filename>
+                variable.
+                You must use the OpenEmbedded notation and not the Debian notation for the names

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The other method for creating a custom image is to base it on an existing image.

+                but add the additional package <filename>strace</filename> to the image,
+                copy the <filename>meta/recipes-sato/images/core-image-sato.bb</filename> to a
+                new <filename>.bb</filename> and add the following line to the end of the copy:

+                used to build the image or images.
+                A good example of a package group recipe is

+                variable lists the package group packages to produce.
+                The <filename>inherit packagegroup</filename> statement
+                sets appropriate default values and automatically adds

+                    The <filename>inherit packagegroup</filename> line should be

+                Once testing is complete and you do not need to rebuild the

+                The path to the per-recipe temporary work directory depends

+                In this case, the work directory the build system uses to

+
+            <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

+                recipe where the source comes from a single tarball.
+                Notice the use of the

+            <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>.

+                other than a version control system, BitBake attempts to

+                ensure they have not been tampered with or otherwise modified
+                since the recipe was written.
+                Two checksums are used:

+
+            <para>
+                If your <filename>SRC_URI</filename> variable points to
+                more than a single URL (excluding SCM URLs), you need to
+                provide the <filename>md5</filename> and
+                <filename>sha256</filename> checksums for each URL.
+                For these cases, you provide a name for each URL as part of

+                As part of the error message, the build system provides

+                When you specify local files using the

+            <para>
+                For trying this out I created a new recipe named
+                <filename>htop_1.0.2.bb</filename> and put it in
+                <filename>poky/meta/recipes-extended/htop</filename>.
+                There are two license type statements in my very simple
+                recipe:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     LICENSE = ""
+
+     LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = ""
+
+     SRC_URI[md5sum] = ""
+     SRC_URI[sha256sum] = ""
+                </literallayout>
+                Evidently, you need to run a <filename>bitbake -c cleanall htop</filename>.
+                Next, you delete or comment out the two <filename>SRC_URI</filename>
+                lines at the end and then attempt to build the software with
+                <filename>bitbake htop</filename>.
+                Doing so causes BitBake to report some errors and and give
+                you the actual strings you need for the last two
+                <filename>SRC_URI</filename> lines.
+                Prior to this, you have to dig around in the home page of the
+                source for <filename>htop</filename> and determine that the
+                software is released under GPLv2.
+                You can provide that in the <filename>LICENSE</filename>
+                statement.
+                Now you edit your recipe to have those two strings for
+                the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statements:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     LICENSE = "GPLv2"
+
+     LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = ""
+
+     SRC_URI = "${SOURCEFORGE_MIRROR}/htop/htop-${PV}.tar.gz"
+     SRC_URI[md5sum] = "0d01cca8df3349c74569cefebbd9919e"
+     SRC_URI[sha256sum] = "ee60657b044ece0df096c053060df7abf3cce3a568ab34d260049e6a37ccd8a1"
+                </literallayout>
+                At this point, you can build the software again using the
+                <filename>bitbake htop</filename> command.
+                There is just a set of errors now associated with the
+                empty <filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename> variable now.

+            <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").

+                Most software provides some means of setting build-time
+                configuration options before compilation.
+                Typically, setting these options is accomplished by running a
+                configure script with options, or by modifying a build
+                configuration file.
+                <note>
+                    As of Yocto Project Release 1.7, some of the core recipes
+                    that package binary configuration scripts now disable the
+                    scripts due to the scripts previously requiring error-prone
+                    path substitution.
+                    The OpenEmbedded build system uses

+                Once configuration succeeds, it is always good practice to

+                ensure that the appropriate options have been enabled and no

+                For example, if the configure script reports that it found

+                Looking at the log might also reveal items being checked for,

+                If your recipe builds an application that needs to
+                communicate with some device or needs an API into a custom
+                kernel, you will need to provide appropriate header files.
+                Under no circumstances should you ever modify the existing
+                <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux-libc-headers/linux-libc-headers.inc</filename>
+                file.
+                These headers are used to build <filename>libc</filename> and
+                must not be compromised with custom or machine-specific
+                header information.
+                If you customize <filename>libc</filename> through modified
+                headers all other applications that use
+                <filename>libc</filename> thus become affected.
+                <note><title>Warning</title>
+                    Never copy and customize the <filename>libc</filename>

+                </note>
+                The correct way to interface to a device or custom kernel is
+                to use a separate package that provides the additional headers
+                for the driver or other unique interfaces.
+                When doing so, your application also becomes responsible for
+                creating a dependency on that specific provider.

+            <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>

+                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.

+                A subset of the files installed by the

+                variable to automatically populate the sysroot.
+                It is possible to modify the list of directories that populate
+                the sysroot.
+                The following example shows how you could add the

+                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.

+                A common scenario where a virtual provider is used would be
+                for the kernel recipe.
+                Suppose you have three kernel recipes whose

+                values map to <filename>kernel-big</filename>,

+                <filename>kernel-small</filename>.
+                Furthermore, each of these recipes in some way uses a

+                statement that essentially identifies itself as being able

+                Here is one way through the

+                Any recipe that inherits the <filename>kernel</filename> class

+                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

+                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:

+
+            <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
+                    select between mutually exclusive alternative providers.

+                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

+                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>.

+                will not correctly trigger an upgrade.
+            </para>

+            <para>
+                In order to ensure the versions compare properly, the

+                To add a post-installation script to a package, add a

+                tools that have dependencies during rootfs construction, you

+                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.

+                    Sometimes, you need to add pre-compiled binaries to an
+                    image.
+                    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,
+                    you cannot use a typical recipe that expects to fetch the
+                    source specified in
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>

+
+                <para>
+                    One method is to package the binaries and then install them
+                    as part of the image.
+                    Generally, it is not a good idea to package binaries
+                    since, among other things, it can hinder the ability to
+                    reproduce builds and could lead to compatibility problems
+                    with ABI in the future.
+                    However, sometimes you have no choice.

+
+                <para>
+                    The easiest solution is to create a recipe that uses

+                    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>

+                When writing recipes, it is good to conform to existing

+
+            <para>
+                It is common for existing recipes to deviate a bit from this
+                style.
+                However, aiming for at least a consistent style is a good idea.
+                Some practices, such as omitting spaces around
+                <filename>=</filename> operators in assignments or ordering
+                recipe components in an erratic way, are widely seen as poor

+                        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
+                        internal methods are also available.</para>
+
+                        <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

+                        BitBake recipes use only a few keywords.

+                            The expansion of these expressions happens
+                            on-demand later (e.g. usually when a function that

+                            This behavior ensures that the values are most

+                        "standard/arm-versatile-926ejs", you would do the
+                        following:

+                        Overrides are also used to separate alternate values
+                        of a variable in other situations.
+                        For example, when setting variables such as

+                        specifies the name of the package.

+            <para>
+                The OpenEmbedded build system needs to be able to build a kernel
+                for the machine.
+                You need to either create a new kernel recipe for this machine,
+                or extend an existing kernel recipe.
+                You can find several kernel recipe examples in the
+                Source Directory at
+                <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux</filename>
+                that you can use as references.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                If you are creating a new kernel recipe, normal recipe-writing
+                rules apply for setting up a
+                <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'>SRC_URI</ulink></filename>.
+                Thus, you need to specify any necessary patches and set
+                <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-S'>S</ulink></filename>
+                to point at the source code.
+                You need to create a <filename>do_configure</filename> task that
+                configures the unpacked kernel with a
+                <filename>defconfig</filename> file.
+                You can do this by using a <filename>make defconfig</filename>
+                command or, more commonly, by copying in a suitable
+                <filename>defconfig</filename> file and then running
+                <filename>make oldconfig</filename>.
+                By making use of <filename>inherit kernel</filename> and
+                potentially some of the <filename>linux-*.inc</filename> files,
+                most other functionality is centralized and the defaults of the

+
+            <para>
+                If you are extending an existing kernel recipe, it is usually
+                a matter of adding a suitable <filename>defconfig</filename>
+                file.
+                The file needs to be added into a location similar to
+                <filename>defconfig</filename> files used for other machines
+                in a given kernel recipe.
+                A possible way to do this is by listing the file in the
+                <filename>SRC_URI</filename> and adding the machine to the

+            You can use the Automated Upgrade Helper (AUH) to set up

+            Alternatively, you can use <filename>devtool upgrade</filename>
+            to set up semi-automatic version upgrades.
+            Finally, you can manually upgrade a recipe by editing the

+            <title>Using the Auto Upgrade Helper (AUH)</title>
+
+            <para>
+                The AUH utility works in conjunction with the
+                OpenEmbedded build system in order to automatically generate
+                upgrades for recipes based on new versions being
+                published upstream.
+                Use AUH when you want to create a service that performs the
+                upgrades automatically and optionally sends you an email with
+                the results.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                AUH allows you to update several recipes with a single use.
+                You can also optionally perform build and integration tests
+                using images with the results saved to your hard drive and
+                emails of results optionally sent to recipe maintainers.
+                Finally, AUH creates Git commits with appropriate commit
+                messages in the layer's tree for the changes made to recipes.
+                <note>
+                    Conditions do exist when you should not use AUH to upgrade
+                    recipes and you should instead use either
+                    <filename>devtool upgrade</filename> or upgrade your
+                    recipes manually:

+                            This situation usually results because custom
+                            patches carried by the recipe cannot be
+                            automatically rebased to the new version.

+                A typical scenario involves having used Git to clone an
+                upstream repository that you use during build operations.
+                Because you are (or have) built the recipe in the past, the
+                layer is likely added to your configuration already.
+                If for some reason, the layer is not added, you could add
+                it easily using the

+                recipe from the <filename>meta-oe</filename> layer in the
+                <filename>meta-openembedded</filename> repository.

+

+            You might find it helpful during development to modify the

+            For example, suppose you are developing a patch and you need to
+            experiment a bit to figure out your solution.
+            After you have initially built the package, you can iteratively
+            tweak the source code, which is located in the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>,
+            and then you can force a re-compile and quickly test your altered
+            code.
+            Once you settle on a solution, you can then preserve your changes

+            During a build, the unpacked temporary source code used by recipes

+            Similar to working within a development shell as described in
+            the previous section, you can also spawn and work within an
+            interactive Python development shell.
+            When debugging certain commands or even when just editing packages,
+            <filename>devpyshell</filename> can be a useful tool.

+            are run for the specified target.
+            Then a new terminal is opened.
+            Additionally, key Python objects and code are available in the same
+            way they are to BitBake tasks, in particular, the data store 'd'.
+            So, commands such as the following are useful when exploring the data
+            store and running functions:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+     '${TMPDIR}/sysroots'
+     pydevshell> d.setVar("FOO", "bar")
+     pydevshell> d.getVar("FOO")
+     'bar'
+     pydevshell> d.delVar("FOO")

+     pydevshell> bb.build.exec_func("do_unpack", d)
+     pydevshell>
+            </literallayout>
+            The commands execute just as if the OpenEmbedded build system were executing them.

+                            You need to create a single configuration file for
+                            each build target (each multiconfig).
+                            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.
+                            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

+                    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>
+                   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

+                An initial RAM filesystem (initramfs) image provides a temporary
+                root filesystem used for early system initialization (e.g.
+                loading of modules needed to locate and mount the "real" root
+                filesystem).
+                <note>
+                    The initramfs image is the successor of initial RAM disk
+                    (initrd).
+                    It is a "copy in and out" (cpio) archive of the initial
+                    filesystem that gets loaded into memory during the Linux
+                    startup process.
+                    Because Linux uses the contents of the archive during
+                    initialization, the initramfs image needs to contain all of the
+                    device drivers and tools needed to mount the final root

+                        The unpacked initramfs image is then passed to the kernel's

+                    Memory consists of static, dynamic, and temporary memory.
+                    Static memory is the TEXT (code), DATA (initialized data
+                    in the code), and BSS (uninitialized data) sections.
+                    Dynamic memory represents memory that is allocated at runtime:
+                    stacks, hash tables, and so forth.
+                    Temporary memory is recovered after the boot process.
+                    This memory consists of memory used for decompressing
+                    the kernel and for the <filename>__init__</filename>
+                    functions.

+
+                <para>
+                    The root filesystem is made up of packages for booting,
+                    libraries, and applications.
+                    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
+                    <filename>udev</filename>.
+                </para>
+
+                <para>
+                    Use your <filename>local.conf</filename> file to make changes.
+                    For example, to eliminate <filename>udev</filename> and
+                    <filename>glib</filename>, set the following in the
+                    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>squashfs</filename>, <filename>ubifs</filename>,
+                    <filename>ext2</filename>, or an <filename>initramfs</filename>
+                    using <filename>initramfs</filename>.
+                    Be aware that <filename>ext3</filename> requires a 1 Mbyte
+                    journal.
+                    If you are okay with running read-only, you do not need this
+                    journal.
+                </para>
+
+                <note>
+                    After each round of elimination, you need to rebuild your
+                    system and then use the tools to see the effects of your
+                    reductions.

+                    Run the <filename>ksize.py</filename> script from the top-level
+                    Linux build directory to get an idea of what is making up
+                    the kernel:

+                    </literallayout>
+                    When you examine the log, you will see how much space is
+                    taken up with the built-in <filename>.o</filename> files for
+                    drivers, networking, core kernel files, filesystem, sound,

+                    The sizes reported by the tool are uncompressed, and thus
+                    will be smaller by a relatively constant factor in a compressed
+                    kernel image.
+                    Look to reduce the areas that are large and taking up around

+
+                <para>
+                    To examine, or drill down, into any particular area, use the

+                    </literallayout>
+                    Using this option breaks out the individual file information
+                    for each area of the kernel (e.g. drivers, networking, and

+                    Use your log file to see what you can eliminate from the kernel

+                    For example, if you are not going to need sound, you do not

+                    After figuring out what to eliminate, you need to reconfigure
+                    the kernel to reflect those changes during the next build.
+                    You could run <filename>menuconfig</filename> and make all your

+                    However, that makes it difficult to see the effects of your
+                    individual eliminations and also makes it difficult to replicate
+                    the changes for perhaps another target device.
+                    A better method is to start with no configurations using
+                    <filename>allnoconfig</filename>, create configuration
+                    fragments for individual changes, and then manage the

+                A common scenario developers face is creating images for several
+                different machines that use the same software environment.
+                In this situation, it is tempting to set the
+                tunings and optimization flags for each build specifically for
+                the targeted hardware (i.e. "maxing out" the tunings).
+                Doing so can considerably add to build times and package feed
+                maintenance collectively for the machines.
+                For example, selecting tunes that are extremely specific to a
+                CPU core used in a system might enable some micro optimizations
+                in GCC for that particular system but would otherwise not gain
+                you much of a performance difference across the other systems
+                as compared to using a more general tuning across all the builds
+                (e.g. setting
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DEFAULTTUNE'><filename>DEFAULTTUNE</filename></ulink>
+                specifically for each machine's build).
+                Rather than "max out" each build's tunings, you can take steps that
+                cause the OpenEmbedded build system to reuse software across the
+                various machines where it makes sense.

+                        share the Vivante GPU.
+                        This class inspects the BitBake datastore to identify if

+                        value based on the <filename>MACHINE_SUBARCH</filename>
+                        value.

+                By default, the OpenEmbedded build system uses the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>
+                when building source code.
+                The build process involves fetching the source files, unpacking
+                them, and then patching them if necessary before the build takes
+                place.
+            </para>

+                Situations exist where you might want to build software from source
+                files that are external to and thus outside of the
+                OpenEmbedded build system.
+                For example, suppose you have a project that includes a new BSP with
+                a heavily customized kernel.
+                And, you want to minimize exposing the build system to the
+                development team so that they can focus on their project and
+                maintain everyone's workflow as much as possible.
+                In this case, you want a kernel source directory on the development
+                machine where the development occurs.
+                You want the recipe's
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+                variable to point to the external directory and use it as is, not
+                copy it.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                To build from software that comes from an external source, all you
+                need to do is inherit the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-externalsrc'><filename>externalsrc</filename></ulink>
+                class and then set the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-EXTERNALSRC'><filename>EXTERNALSRC</filename></ulink>
+                variable to point to your external source code.
+                Here are the statements to put in your
+                <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     INHERIT += "externalsrc"
+     EXTERNALSRC_pn-<replaceable>myrecipe</replaceable> = "<replaceable>path-to-your-source-tree</replaceable>"
+                </literallayout>
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                This next example shows how to accomplish the same thing by setting
+                <filename>EXTERNALSRC</filename> in the recipe itself or in the
+                recipe's append file:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     EXTERNALSRC = "<replaceable>path</replaceable>"
+     EXTERNALSRC_BUILD = "<replaceable>path</replaceable>"

+                <note>
+                    In order for these settings to take effect, you must globally
+                    or locally inherit the
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-externalsrc'><filename>externalsrc</filename></ulink>

+                By default, <filename>externalsrc.bbclass</filename> builds

+                    After you have set up the recipes, you need to define the actual
+                    combination of multiple libraries you want to build.
+                    You accomplish this through your <filename>local.conf</filename>
+                    configuration file in the

+                    normal target packages.
+                    When combining these "lib32" alternatives, the example uses "x86" for tuning.
+                    For information on this particular tuning, see

+            <para>
+                Situations can exist where you need to install and use
+                multiple versions of the same library on the same system
+                at the same time.
+                These situations almost always exist when a library API
+                changes and you have multiple pieces of software that
+                depend on the separate versions of the library.
+                To accommodate these situations, you can install multiple
+                versions of the same library in parallel on the same system.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The process is straightforward as long as the libraries use
+                proper versioning.
+                With properly versioned libraries, all you need to do to
+                individually specify the libraries is create separate,
+                appropriately named recipes where the
+                <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
+                two separate versions of the <filename>clutter</filename>
+                library to co-exist on the same system:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     clutter-1.6_1.6.20.bb
+     clutter-1.8_1.8.4.bb
+                </literallayout>
+                Additionally, if you have other recipes that depend on a given
+                library, you need to use the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></ulink>
+                variable to create the dependency.
+                Continuing with the same example, if you want to have a recipe
+                depend on the 1.8 version of the <filename>clutter</filename>
+                library, use the following in your recipe:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     DEPENDS = "clutter-1.8"

+            Some processing environments prefer using 32-bit applications even

+            Consider the i386 psABI, which is a very old 32-bit ABI for Intel
+            64-bit platforms.
+            The i386 psABI does not provide efficient use and access of the
+            Intel 64-bit processor resources, leaving the system underutilized.
+            Now consider the x86_64 psABI.
+            This ABI is newer and uses 64-bits for data sizes and program
+            pointers.
+            The extra bits increase the footprint size of the programs,
+            libraries, and also increases the memory and file system size
+            requirements.

+            and system resources more efficiently while keeping the memory

+            This section describes the Yocto Project support for generating
+            and packaging GObject introspection data.
+            GObject introspection data is a description of the
+            API provided by libraries built on top of GLib framework,
+            and, in particular, that framework's GObject mechanism.
+            GObject Introspection Repository (GIR) files go to
+            <filename>-dev</filename> packages,
+            <filename>typelib</filename> files go to main packages as they
+            are packaged together with libraries that are introspected.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The data is generated when building such a library, by linking
+            the library with a small executable binary that asks the library
+            to describe itself, and then executing the binary and
+            processing its output.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Generating this data in a cross-compilation environment
+            is difficult because the library is produced for the target
+            architecture, but its code needs to be executed on the build host.
+            This problem is solved with the OpenEmbedded build system by
+            running the code through QEMU, which allows precisely that.
+            Unfortunately, QEMU does not always work perfectly as mentioned
+            in the
+            "<link linkend='known-issues'>Known Issues</link>" section.

+                All the examples assume the list of requirements in the

+                section have been met.
+                The examples assume the previously generated image is

+                    <filename>mkefidisk</filename> kickstart file:

+                    The previous example shows the easiest way to create
+                    an image by running in cooked mode and supplying

+                    existing build artifacts.
+                    Your <filename>local.conf</filename> file needs to have

+                    Once the image builds, the output provides image

+
+                <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
+                    will need to boot from <filename>sdb</filename> instead
+                    of <filename>sda</filename>, which is what the
+                    <filename>directdisk-gpt</filename> kickstart file
+                    uses.

+
+                <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 class='monospaced'>
+     $ cp /home/stephano/poky/scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks/directdisk-gpt.wks \

+                    </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
+                    the remaining lines untouched:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     part /boot --source bootimg-pcbios --ondisk sdb --label boot --active --align 1024

+                    </literallayout>
+                    Once the lines are changed, the example generates the

+                    For example, you can use Wic to delete the kernel partition

+
+        <para>
+            A fast and easy way to flash an image to a bootable device
+            is to use Bmaptool, which is integrated into the OpenEmbedded
+            build system.
+            Bmaptool is a generic tool that creates a file's block map (bmap)
+            and then uses that map to copy the file.
+            As compared to traditional tools such as dd or cp, Bmaptool
+            can copy (or flash) large files like raw system image files
+            much faster.

+            If you are producing your own customized version
+            of the build system for use by other users, you might
+            want to customize the message shown by the setup script or
+            you might want to change the template configuration files (i.e.
+            <filename>local.conf</filename> and
+            <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>) that are created in

+
+        <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
+            your directory.
+        </para>

+        <para>
+            Best practices dictate that you should keep your
+            template configuration directory in your custom distribution layer.
+            For example, suppose you have a layer named
+            <filename>meta-mylayer</filename> located in your home directory
+            and you want your template configuration directory named
+            <filename>myconf</filename>.
+            Changing the <filename>.templateconf</filename> as follows
+            causes the OpenEmbedded build system to look in your directory
+            and base its configuration files on the
+            <filename>*.sample</filename> configuration files it finds.
+            The final configuration files (i.e.
+            <filename>local.conf</filename> and
+            <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> ultimately still end up in
+            your Build Directory, but they are based on your
+            <filename>*.sample</filename> files.

+
+        <para>
+            Aside from the <filename>*.sample</filename> configuration files,
+            the <filename>conf-notes.txt</filename> also resides in the
+            default <filename>meta-poky/conf</filename> directory.
+            The script that sets up the build environment
+            (i.e.
+            <ulink url="&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#structure-core-script"><filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename></ulink>)
+            uses this file to display BitBake targets as part of the script
+            output.
+            Customizing this <filename>conf-notes.txt</filename> file is a
+            good way to make sure your list of custom targets appears
+            as part of the script's output.

+

+            Here is the default list of targets displayed as a result of

+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     You can now run 'bitbake &lt;target&gt;'

+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Changing the listed common targets is as easy as editing your
+            version of <filename>conf-notes.txt</filename> in your
+            custom template configuration directory and making sure you
+            have <filename>TEMPLATECONF</filename> set to your directory.

+                    The Yocto Project uses variables in order of

+                    for epoch, version, and revision, respectively).
+                    The values are highly dependent on the policies and
+                    procedures of a given distribution and package feed.

+
+                <para>
+                    Because the OpenEmbedded build system uses

+                    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

+                    This scheme allows existing <filename>PR</filename> values
+                    to be used for whatever reasons, which include manual

+                    The build system adds and removes packages and

+                    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>
+                    in your <filename>local.conf</filename> file in the

+                    </literallayout>
+                    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>
+                    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'>

+                    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.

+                    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:

+                    If a committed change results in changing the package

+                    For new recipes you should add the <filename>PR</filename>

+                    the default.
+                    Even though the default value is "r0", the practice of

+                    Here is an example:

+                Many pieces of software split functionality into optional
+                modules (or plugins) and the plugins that are built
+                might depend on configuration options.
+                To avoid having to duplicate the logic that determines what
+                modules are available in your recipe or to avoid having
+                to package each module by hand, the OpenEmbedded build system
+                provides functionality to handle module packaging dynamically.

+                    To ensure the module packaging actually gets done, you use

+                    the <filename>populate_packages</filename> Python function
+                    in your recipe.
+                    The <filename>do_split_packages</filename> function
+                    searches for a pattern of files or directories under a
+                    specified path and creates a package for each one it finds

+     recursive
+        True to perform a recursive search - default
+        False
+     hook
+        A hook function to be called for every match.
+        The function will be called with the following

+
+     extra_depends
+        Extra runtime dependencies (RDEPENDS) to be
+        set for all packages. The default value of None
+        causes a dependency on the main package
+        (${PN}) - if you do not want this, pass empty
+        string '' for this parameter.
+     aux_files_pattern
+        Extra item(s) to be added to FILES for each

+     match_path
+        match file_regex on the whole relative path to
+        the root rather than just the file name
+     aux_files_pattern_verbatim
+        Extra item(s) to be added to FILES for each

+        False
+     summary
+        Summary to set for each package. Must include %s;
+        defaults to description if not set.

+                In all these situations, you have something similar to a more
+                traditional Linux distribution in that in-field devices
+                are able to receive pre-compiled packages from a server for
+                installation or update.
+                Being able to install these packages on a running,
+                in-field device is what is termed "runtime package
+                management".
+            </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>
+                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.

+                But if you want to make use of runtime package management,

+                    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

+                    However, this is not strictly necessary.
+                    You could start your image off without any databases
+                    but only include the required on-target package

+                    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.

+                    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.

+                            However, for production use, it is better to copy

+                            the build area and use that location.
+                            Doing so avoids situations where the build system

+                    Although it is useful to package modules already in the

+                    This section covers the NPM projects code method, which is
+                    very similar to the "registry" approach described in the
+                    previous section.
+                    In the NPM projects method, you provide

+                    The recipe this command generates is very similar to the

+                    However, the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> looks like the

+                    Other than those differences, the recipe is basically the
+                    same between the two methods.
+                    You can build and deploy the package exactly as described
+                    in the previous section that uses the registry modules

+            By default, the Yocto Project uses SysVinit as the initialization

+            However, support also exists for systemd,
+            which is a full replacement for init with

+
+        <para>

+            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:

+            <note>
+                Each runlevel has a dependency on the previous runlevel.

+

+            In comparison, systemd treats components as units.

+                It is very important that you make sure all

+                These scripts cannot attempt to run during first-boot on the
+                target device.
+                With the "read-only-rootfs" feature enabled,
+                the build system checks during root filesystem creation to make
+                sure all post-installation scripts succeed.
+                If any of these scripts still need to be run after the root
+                filesystem is created, the build immediately fails.

+
+        <para>
+            Many factors can influence the quality of a build.
+            For example, if you upgrade a recipe to use a new version of an
+            upstream software package or you experiment with some new
+            configuration options, subtle changes can occur that you might
+            not detect until later.
+            Consider the case where your recipe is using a newer version of
+            an upstream package.
+            In this case, a new version of a piece of software might
+            introduce an optional dependency on another library, which is
+            auto-detected.
+            If that library has already been built when the software is
+            building, the software will link to the built library and that
+            library will be pulled into your image along with the new
+            software even if you did not want the library.

+        <para>
+            The OpenEmbedded build system makes available a series of automated
+            tests for images to verify runtime functionality.
+            You can run these tests on either QEMU or actual target hardware.
+            Tests are written in Python making use of the
+            <filename>unittest</filename> module, and the majority of them
+            run commands on the target system over SSH.
+            This section describes how you set up the environment to use these
+            tests, run available tests, and write and add your own tests.

+                To create a new test, start by copying an existing module

+                <filename>gcc.py</filename> are good ones to use).

+
+        <para>
+            The exact method for debugging build failures depends on the nature
+            of the problem and on the system's area from which the bug
+            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
+            valid for the Yocto Project just as they are for any other system.
+            Even though it is impossible to detail every possible potential
+            failure, this section provides some general tips to aid in
+            debugging given a variety of situations.
+            <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.
+                For information on how to enable and use this feature, see the
+                "<link linkend='using-the-error-reporting-tool'>Using the Error Reporting Tool</link>"

+                These implicit changes affect a task's output but do not

+                Consider an example during which a tool changes its output.
+                Assume that the output of <filename>rpmdeps</filename>
+                changes.

+                <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.

+            <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>
+                Using this option invalidates the given task and then runs the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-build'><filename>do_build</filename></ulink>
+                task, which is the default task if no task is given, and the
+                tasks on which it depends.
+                You could replace the final two commands in the previous example
+                with the following single command:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -C compile
+                </literallayout>
+                Internally, the <filename>-f</filename> and
+                <filename>-C</filename> options work by tainting (modifying) the
+                input checksum of the specified task.
+                This tainting indirectly causes the task and its
+                dependent tasks to be rerun through the normal task dependency
+                mechanisms.
+                <note>
+                    BitBake explicitly keeps track of which tasks have been
+                    tainted in this fashion, and will print warnings such as the
+                    following for builds involving such tasks:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     WARNING: /home/ulf/poky/meta/recipes-sato/matchbox-desktop/matchbox-desktop_2.1.bb.do_compile is tainted from a forced run
+                    </literallayout>
+                    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
+                    directory and rebuild the recipe, as follows:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c clean
+     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
+                    </literallayout>

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                You can view a list of tasks in a given package by running the
+                <filename>do_listtasks</filename> task as follows:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c listtasks
+                </literallayout>
+                The results appear as output to the console and are also in the

+                A parallel <filename>make</filename> race occurs when the build
+                consists of several parts that are run simultaneously and
+                a situation occurs when the output or result of one
+                part is not ready for use with a different part of the build
+                that depends on that output.
+                Parallel make races are annoying and can sometimes be difficult
+                to reproduce and fix.
+                However, some simple tips and tricks exist that can help

+                    So the first thing to do is build "neard" locally.
+                    Before you start the build, set the

+                    variable in your <filename>local.conf</filename> file to
+                    a high number (e.g. "-j 20").
+                    Using a high value for <filename>PARALLEL_MAKE</filename>
+                    increases the chances of the race condition showing up:

+

+                    Because there is a missing dependency for the Makefile

+                    <filename>Makefile.am</filename> file, which is generated
+                    from <filename>Makefile.in</filename>.
+                    You can use Quilt to create the patch:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ quilt new parallelmake.patch
+     Patch patches/parallelmake.patch is now on top

+
+                <para>
+                    At this point you need to make the edits to
+                    <filename>Makefile.am</filename> to add the missing
+                    dependency.
+                    For our example, you have to add the following line
+                    to the file:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     tools/snep-send.$(OBJEXT): include/near/dbus.h
+                    </literallayout>

+
+                <para>
+                    Once you have edited the file, use the
+                    <filename>refresh</filename> command to create the patch:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ quilt refresh
+     Refreshed patch patches/parallelmake.patch
+                    </literallayout>
+                    Once the patch file exists, you need to add it back to the
+                    originating recipe folder.
+                    Here is an example assuming a top-level
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+                    named <filename>poky</filename>:

+     $ cp patches/parallelmake.patch poky/meta/recipes-connectivity/neard/neard
+                    </literallayout>
+                    The final thing you need to do to implement the fix in the
+                    build is to update the "neard" recipe (i.e.
+                    <filename>neard-0.14.bb</filename>) so that the
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+                    statement includes the patch file.
+                    The recipe file is in the folder above the patch.
+                    Here is what the edited <filename>SRC_URI</filename>
+                    statement would look like:

+                GDB allows you to examine running programs, which in turn helps

+                It also allows you to perform post-mortem style analysis of

+                GDB is available as a package within the Yocto Project and is
+                installed in SDK images by default.

+                    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.

+                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.

+                        The build system does this by looking at what is in the

+                The previous section addressed using GDB remotely for debugging
+                purposes, which is the most usual case due to the inherent
+                hardware limitations on many embedded devices.
+                However, debugging in the target hardware itself is also
+                possible with more powerful devices.
+                This section describes what you need to do in order to support
+                using GDB to debug on the target hardware.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                To support this kind of debugging, you need do the following:

+                    <listitem><para>
+                        Ensure that GDB is on the target.
+                        You can do this by adding "gdb" to
+                        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'><filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename></ulink>:

+                        </literallayout>
+                        Alternatively, you can do the following to include all
+                        the debug symbols:
+                        <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+                <note>
+                    To improve the debug information accuracy, you can reduce
+                    the level of optimization used by the compiler.
+                    For example, when adding the following line to your
+                    <filename>local.conf</filename> file, you will reduce
+                    optimization from
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FULL_OPTIMIZATION'><filename>FULL_OPTIMIZATION</filename></ulink>

+     DEBUG_BUILD = "1"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    Consider that this will reduce the application's performance

+                        It is recommended that you configure some method that

+
+                        <para>Using GNU Grep, you can use the following shell

+            <para>
+                Contributions to the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded are very welcome.
+                Because the system is extremely configurable and flexible, we recognize
+                that developers will want to extend, configure or optimize it for
+                their specific uses.

+                The Yocto Project uses a mailing list and a patch-based workflow
+                that is similar to the Linux kernel but contains important
+                differences.
+                In general, a mailing list exists through which you can submit
+                patches.
+                You should send patches to the appropriate mailing list so that they
+                can be reviewed and merged by the appropriate maintainer.
+                The specific mailing list you need to use depends on the
+                location of the code you are changing.
+                Each component (e.g. layer) should have a
+                <filename>README</filename> file that indicates where to send
+                the changes and which process to follow.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                You can send the patch to the mailing list using whichever approach
+                you feel comfortable with to generate the patch.
+                Once sent, the patch is usually reviewed by the community at large.
+                If somebody has concerns with the patch, they will usually voice
+                their concern over the mailing list.
+                If a patch does not receive any negative reviews, the maintainer of
+                the affected layer typically takes the patch, tests it, and then
+                based on successful testing, merges the patch.

+                The "poky" repository, which is the Yocto Project's reference build
+                environment, is a hybrid repository that contains several

+                and so forth) built using the combo-layer tool.

+                Maintainers use these branches to test submissions prior to merging

+                    This system is imperfect and changes can sometimes get lost in the

+                            into which you pushed the change, and provides a subject

+                            One of the patch files is a cover letter.</para>

+                            After editing the cover letter, send the pull request.
+                            For example, the following command runs the script and
+                            specifies the patch directory and email address.
+                            In this example, the email address is a mailing list:

+                    <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,
+                    the correct md5 checksum is placed in the build log and
+                    can be easily copied to the recipe.

+                    Generally, however, every project requires a few
+                    specifications for license tracking.
+                    Many projects have a "COPYING" file that stores the
+                    license information for all the source code files.
+                    This practice allows you to just track the "COPYING"
+                    file as long as it is kept up to date.

+                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>

+                Here is a slightly more complicated example that contains both

+                <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> definition to be enabled and
+                included in an image, it needs to have a matching entry in the

+                <filename>local.conf</filename> file.
+                For example, to enable the
+                <filename>poky/meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly</filename>

+	            <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".

+		            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>
+                    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.

+                            You can specify a versioned string in the recipe

+                            The build system expands this string to

+                            Combine this license flag with a whitelist that has

+
+            <para>
+                One of the concerns for a development organization using open source
+                software is how to maintain compliance with various open source
+                licensing during the lifecycle of the product.
+                While this section does not provide legal advice or
+                comprehensively cover all scenarios, it does
+                present methods that you can use to
+                assist you in meeting the compliance requirements during a software

+            <para>
+                With hundreds of different open source licenses that the Yocto
+                Project tracks, it is difficult to know the requirements of each
+                and every license.
+                However, the requirements of the major FLOSS licenses can begin
+                to be covered by
+                assuming that three main areas of concern exist:
+                <itemizedlist>
+                    <listitem><para>Source code must be provided.</para></listitem>

+                </itemizedlist>
+                There are other requirements beyond the scope of these
+                three and the methods described in this section
+                (e.g. the mechanism through which source code is distributed).

+
+            <para>
+                As different organizations have different methods of complying with
+                open source licensing, this section is not meant to imply that
+                there is only one single way to meet your compliance obligations,
+                but rather to describe one method of achieving compliance.
+                The remainder of this section describes methods supported to meet the
+                previously mentioned three requirements.
+                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.

+                    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>
+                    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

+                    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.

+                    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

+     #!/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.

+                    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_DIRS = "1"

+                    Adding these statements to the configuration file ensures
+                    that the licenses collected during package generation
+                    are included on your image.

+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>

+                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

+                You can run the command to send the error file to the server.
+                For example, the following command sends the errors to an

+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+                In the previous example, the errors are sent to a public

+                Once you satisfy these prompts, the command returns a link

+        <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.

+            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

+            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>
+            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
+            appropriate stand-alone toolchain is present, the toolchain is
+            also automatically used.

+     $ 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>).

+
+     Usage: you can run this script with any valid combination
+     of the following environment variables (in any order):
+       KERNEL - the kernel image file to use
+       ROOTFS - the rootfs image file or nfsroot directory to use
+       MACHINE - the machine name (optional, autodetected from KERNEL filename if unspecified)
+       Simplified QEMU command-line options can be passed with:
+         nographic - disable video console
+         serial - enable a serial console on /dev/ttyS0
+         slirp - enable user networking, no root privileges is required
+         kvm - enable KVM when running x86/x86_64 (VT-capable CPU required)
+         kvm-vhost - enable KVM with vhost when running x86/x86_64 (VT-capable CPU required)
+         publicvnc - enable a VNC server open to all hosts
+         audio - enable audio
+         [*/]ovmf* - OVMF firmware file or base name for booting with UEFI
+       tcpserial=&lt;port&gt; - specify tcp serial port number
+       biosdir=&lt;dir&gt; - specify custom bios dir

+
+<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.

+                <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.

+                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.

+                is advisable.
+                Of all of the SCMs supported by BitBake, the Yocto Project team strongly

+                <para>It is relatively easy to set up Git services and create

+                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
+                necessary.

+                    For example, to access the files for the Yocto Project
+                    &DISTRO; Release (&DISTRO_NAME;), use the following command:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+                    </literallayout>
+                    The previous command checks out the "&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;"
+                    development branch and reports that the branch is tracking

+        <title>Checking Out by Tag in Poky</title>
+
+        <para>
+            Similar to branches, the upstream repository uses tags
+            to mark specific commits associated with significant points in
+            a development branch (i.e. a release point or stage of a
+            release).
+            You might want to set up a local branch based on one of those
+            points in the repository.
+            The process is similar to checking out by branch name except you
+            use tag names.
+            <note>
+                Checking out a branch based on a tag gives you a
+                stable set of files not affected by development on the
+                branch above the tag.

+
+   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.

+        In addition to supporting configuration fragments and patches, the

+        The purpose of the Metadata and the tools that manage it is

+        Kernel Metadata exists in many places.
+        One area in the Yocto Project

+        is the <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename> Git repository.

+    <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

+    <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:

+        # 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

+            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

+
+        <para>
+            Patch descriptions are very similar to configuration fragment

+            However, instead of a <filename>.cfg</filename> file, these

+
+        <para>
+            A typical patch includes a description file and the patch itself.

+

+            Features are complex kernel Metadata types that consist
+            of configuration fragments, patches, and possibly other feature
+            description files.
+            As an example, consider the following generic listing:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     features/<replaceable>myfeature</replaceable>.scc
+        define KFEATURE_DESCRIPTION "Enable <replaceable>myfeature</replaceable>"
+
+        patch 0001-<replaceable>myfeature</replaceable>-core.patch

+        include cfg/<replaceable>myfeature</replaceable>_dependency.scc
+        kconf non-hardware <replaceable>myfeature</replaceable>.cfg
+            </literallayout>
+            This example shows how the <filename>patch</filename> and
+            <filename>kconf</filename> commands are used as well as
+            how an additional feature description file is included with

+
+        <para>
+            Typically, features are less granular than configuration
+            fragments and are more likely than configuration fragments
+            and patches to be the types of things you want to specify
+            in the <filename>KERNEL_FEATURES</filename> variable of the
+            Linux kernel recipe.

+
+        <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

+            <filename>poky/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc</filename>
+            file, which has the following statement that defines the default
+            kernel type:

+     LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE ??= "standard"
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Another example would be the real-time kernel (i.e.
+            <filename>linux-yocto-rt_4.12.bb</filename>).
+            This kernel recipe directly sets the kernel type as follows:

+                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

+                followed by the kernel type.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Examine the <filename>beaglebone-standard.scc</filename>
+                file:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     define KMACHINE beaglebone

+     include features/latencytop/latencytop.scc
+     include features/profiling/profiling.scc
+                </literallayout>
+                Every top-level BSP description file should define the

+                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>
+                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>"
+                section for more information.
+            </para>
+
+            <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

+                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>
+                The BeagleBone example does not include these types of

+        Kernel Metadata always exists outside of the kernel tree either

+        Regardless of where you define the kernel Metadata, the syntax used

+
+    <para>
+        If you are unfamiliar with the Linux kernel and only wish

+        you by others, the recipe-space method is recommended.
+        This method is also a good approach if you are working with Linux kernel
+        sources you do not control or if you just do not want to maintain a
+        Linux kernel Git repository on your own.
+        For partial information on how you can define kernel Metadata in

+        Conversely, if you are actively developing a kernel and are already

+        recipe-space.
+        Working with Metadata in this area can make iterative development of

+
+    <para>
+        Many recipes based on the <filename>linux-yocto-custom.bb</filename>
+        recipe use Linux kernel sources that have only a single
+        branch - "master".
+        This type of repository structure is fine for linear development

+        However, if you work with multiple boards and architectures,
+        a kernel source repository with multiple branches is more
+        efficient.
+        For example, suppose you need a series of patches for one board to boot.
+        Sometimes, these patches are works-in-progress or fundamentally wrong,
+        yet they are still necessary for specific boards.
+        In these situations, you most likely do not want to include these
+        patches in every kernel you build (i.e. have the patches as part of
+        the lone "master" branch).
+        It is situations like these that give rise to multiple branches used

+            to be appropriate.
+            Given this scenario, you do not need to create any branches in the
+            source repository.
+            Rather, you just take the static patches you need and encapsulate
+            them within a feature description.
+            Once you have the feature description, you simply include that into
+            the BSP description as described in the
+            "<link linkend='bsp-descriptions'>BSP Descriptions</link>"

+                The "base" branches are an artifact of the way Git manages

+            When you are actively developing new features, it can be more

+            as a set of patches that have to be regularly updated.

+<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.

+            "<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>"

+            <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"

+            </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.

+                For example, if you want to add support for a basic serial

+                It might be desirable to have kernel configuration fragment

+                is pulled from the kernel source tree for the configured

+                By default, the OpenEmbedded build system looks for

+                through, for example, append files, you can direct the

+                Aside from modifying your kernel recipe and providing your own

+            Patching the kernel involves changing or adding configurations
+            to an existing kernel, changing or adding recipes to the kernel
+            that are needed to support specific hardware features, or even

+
+        <para>
+            The example in this section creates a simple patch by adding some

+            <filename>printk</filename> statements in the kernel's
+            <filename>calibrate.c</filename> source code file.
+            Applying the patch and booting the modified image causes the added

+                Using the interface, you can find the option under

+                on the <filename>linux-yocto-4.12</filename> kernel and you
+                were building a QEMU image targeted for
+                <filename>x86</filename> architecture, the

+                    in order to make it more readable.

+                A good method to isolate changed configurations is to use a
+                combination of the <filename>menuconfig</filename> tool and
+                simple shell commands.
+                Before changing configurations with
+                <filename>menuconfig</filename>, copy the existing
+                <filename>.config</filename> and rename it to something else,
+                use <filename>menuconfig</filename> to make as many changes as
+                you want and save them, then compare the renamed configuration
+                file against the newly created file.
+                You can use the resulting differences as your base to create
+                configuration fragments to permanently save in your kernel
+                layer.
+                <note>
+                    Be sure to make a copy of the <filename>.config</filename>
+                    file and do not just rename it.
+                    The build system needs an existing
+                    <filename>.config</filename> file from which to work.

+                It is simple to create a configuration fragment.
+                One method is to use shell commands.
+                For example, issuing the following from the shell creates a
+                configuration fragment file named
+                <filename>my_smp.cfg</filename> that enables multi-processor
+                support within the kernel:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ echo "CONFIG_SMP=y" >> my_smp.cfg
+                </literallayout>
+                <note>
+                    All configuration fragment files must use the
+                    <filename>.cfg</filename> extension in order for the
+                    OpenEmbedded build system to recognize them as a
+                    configuration fragment.

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Another method is to create a configuration fragment using the
+                differences between two configuration files: one previously
+                created and saved, and one freshly created using the
+                <filename>menuconfig</filename> tool.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                To create a configuration fragment using this method, follow

+                        Complete a build at least through the kernel

+                        Because situations exist where your build state might

+                Where do you put your configuration fragment files?
+                You can place these files in an area pointed to by
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+                as directed by your <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file,
+                which is located in your layer.
+                The OpenEmbedded build system picks up the configuration and
+                adds it to the kernel's configuration.
+                For example, suppose you had a set of configuration options
+                in a file called <filename>myconfig.cfg</filename>.
+                If you put that file inside a directory named

+                directory as the kernel's append file within your layer
+                and then add the following statements to the kernel's append
+                file, those configuration options will be picked up and applied
+                when the kernel is built:

+                <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement as well.
+                For example, you could group separate configurations
+                specifically for Ethernet and graphics into their own files
+                and add those by using a <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement

+                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>

+                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

+            <para>
+                To get started, copy this recipe to your layer and give it a
+                meaningful name (e.g. <filename>mymodule_1.0.bb</filename>).
+                In the same directory, create a new directory named

+                patches, or other files necessary for building
+                the module that do not come with the sources.
+                Finally, update the recipe as needed for the module.
+                Typically, you will need to set the following variables:

+                Depending on the build system used by the module sources,
+                you might need to make some adjustments.
+                For example, a typical module <filename>Makefile</filename>
+                looks much like the one provided with the

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The important point to note here is the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KERNEL_SRC'><filename>KERNEL_SRC</filename></ulink>
+                variable.

+                class sets this variable and the

+                with the necessary Linux kernel build information to build
+                modules.
+                If your module <filename>Makefile</filename> uses a different
+                variable, you might want to override the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-compile'><filename>do_compile</filename></ulink>
+                step, or create a patch to

+                <filename>KERNEL_SRC</filename> or
+                <filename>KERNEL_PATH</filename> variables.

+                After you have prepared your recipe, you will likely want to
+                include the module in your images.
+                To do this, see the documentation for the following variables in

+                Modules are often not required for boot and can be excluded from

+     MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS += "kernel-module-mymodule"
+                </literallayout>
+                The value is derived by appending the module filename without

+                and not a

+            A common question when working with a kernel is:
+            "What changes have been applied to this tree?"
+            Rather than using "grep" across directories to see what has
+            changed, you can use Git to inspect or search the kernel tree.
+            Using Git is an efficient way to see what has changed in the tree.

+                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

+                (<replaceable>commit</replaceable><filename>..</filename><replaceable>commit</replaceable>).

+
+        <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 &dash; 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.

+
+        <para>
+            As mentioned earlier, a key goal of the Yocto Project is

+        <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.

+            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.

+            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>
+            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>
+            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

+            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>
+            The resulting tree structure presents a clear path of markers

+            requirements.

+                Keep in mind the figure does not take into account all the

+            Working with the kernel as a structured tree follows recognized

+            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).

+            Because commits only change at significant release points in the

+            kernel.
+            As mentioned previously, the structure is transparent to the

+    <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.

+        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
+        <filename>recipes-kernel</filename> area in a kernel layer you create.

+        <title>Tree Construction</title>
+
+        <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>

+        <para>
+            The following steps describe what happens when the Yocto Project

+            (or tree) found at

+            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
+            of kernel development, which is building a kernel image.
+            Some prerequisites exist that are validated by the build process
+            before compilation starts:

+                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
+                <filename>linux-yocto_4.12</filename> kernel reside in the

+            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.

+            The Yocto Project Mega-Manual is a concatenation of the published
+            Yocto Project HTML manuals along with the corresponding BitBake
+            User Manual for the given release.
+            The Mega-Manual exists to help users efficiently search for strings
+            across the entire Yocto Project documentation set inclusive of
+            the BitBake User Manual.

+        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

+            BitBake handles the parsing and execution of the data files.

+            BitBake knows how to combine multiple data sources together and

+            <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

+                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>

+                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

+            </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.

+            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.

+                        You can use the <filename>conf/site.conf</filename>
+                        configuration file to configure multiple
+                        build directories.
+                        For example, suppose you had several build environments
+                        and they shared some common features.
+                        You can set these default build properties here.
+                        A good example is perhaps the packaging format to use

+                        <para>One useful scenario for using the

+                        <filename>conf/site.conf</filename>.
+                        Then, when BitBake looks for Metadata using

+                        your common configurations found in the file.
+                        To override configurations in a particular build

+                When you launch your build with the

+                command, BitBake sorts out the configurations to ultimately
+                define your build environment.
+                It is important to understand that the

+                reads the configuration files in a specific order:

+                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>,
+                <replaceable>variable1</replaceable> is assigned the value from

+                In order for the OpenEmbedded build system to create an
+                image or any target, it must be able to access source files.

+                <link linkend='general-workflow-figure'>general workflow figure</link>
+                represents source files using the "Upstream Project Releases",
+                "Local Projects", and "SCMs (optional)" boxes.
+                The figure represents mirrors, which also play a role in
+                locating source files, with the "Source Materials" box.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The method by which source files are ultimately organized is
+                a function of the project.
+                For example, for released software, projects tend to use
+                tarballs or other archived files that can capture the
+                state of a release guaranteeing that it is statically
+                represented.
+                On the other hand, for a project that is more dynamic or
+                experimental in nature, a project might keep source files in a
+                repository controlled by a Source Control Manager (SCM) such as
+                Git.
+                Pulling source from a repository allows you to control
+                the point in the repository (the revision) from which you
+                want to build software.
+                Finally, a combination of the two might exist, which would
+                give the consumer a choice when deciding where to get
+                source files.

+                A good method for using a download directory is to have

+                Build Directory.
+                Doing so allows you to safely delete the Build Directory

+                    to build everything and no available prebuilt objects
+                    exist.
+                    BitBake does support skipping tasks if prebuilt objects are
+                    available.
+                    These objects are usually made available in the form of a

+                    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

+                    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

+                    In the build system, the common tasks that have setscene

+                    Notice that these tasks represent most of the tasks whose

+                    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>
+                    The availability of objects in the sstate cache is
+                    handled by the function specified by the

+                    relationship the function needs to be passed.
+                    The function returns a True or False value.

+                When the SDK installer file is run, it installs the SDK.

+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#bitbake-term'>BitBake</ulink>
+            to create an image, the OpenEmbedded build system
+            uses the host <filename>gcc</filename> compiler to bootstrap a

+            can cause problems.

+            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
+            to be valid.

+                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.

+        <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>

+                Thus far, this section has limited discussion to the direct

+                Information based on direct inputs is referred to as the

+                depends.
+                Choosing which dependencies to add is a policy decision.
+                However, the effect is to generate a master checksum that

+                At the code level, a variety of ways exist by which both the

+                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

+                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.

+                It is also worth noting that the end result of these

+            Some tasks are easier to implement when allowed to perform certain

+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-package_write_deb'><filename>do_package_write*</filename></ulink>,

+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-image'><filename>do_image*</filename></ulink>).
+            For example, the <filename>do_install</filename> task benefits
+            from being able to set the UID and GID of installed files to
+            arbitrary values.

+
+        <para>
+            One approach to allowing tasks to perform root-only operations

+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#bitbake-term'>BitBake</ulink>
+            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
+            from root privileges in a "fake" root environment.
+            Within this environment, the task and its child processes believe
+            that they are running as the root user, and see an internally
+            consistent view of the filesystem.
+            As long as generating the final output (e.g. a package or an image)
+            does not require root privileges, the fact that some earlier
+            steps ran in a fake root environment does not cause problems.

+            The capability to run tasks in a fake root environment is known as

+            which is derived from the BitBake keyword/variable

+            In the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>,
+            the program that implements fakeroot is known as
+            <ulink url='https://www.yoctoproject.org/software-item/pseudo/'>Pseudo</ulink>.
+            Pseudo overrides system calls by using the environment variable
+            <filename>LD_PRELOAD</filename>, which results in the illusion
+            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
+                cannot see the fake file ownership and permissions set by the
+                other task.
+                You need to also add a dependency on
+                <filename>virtual/fakeroot-native:do_populate_sysroot</filename>,
+                giving the following:

+<title>The Yocto Project Development Environment</title>
+
+<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.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+    Specifically, this chapter addresses open source philosophy, source
+    repositories, workflows, Git, and licensing.

+<section id='open-source-philosophy'>
+    <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.

+        Wikipedia has a good historical description of the Open Source
+        Philosophy

+    <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.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Once your development host is set up to use the Yocto Project,
+        several methods exist for you to do work in the Yocto Project
+        environment:

+                which uses BitBake, in a command-line environment from a shell
+                on your development host.
+                You can accomplish this from a host that is a native Linux
+                machine or from a host that has been set up with CROPS.
+                Either way, you create, modify, and build images and

+        <filename>poky-contrib</filename>.
+        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.

+        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.

+        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.

+

+        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
+        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#how-to-submit-a-change'>Submitting a Change to the Yocto Project</ulink>"

+        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
+        submit changes to "contrib" areas for the maintainer to examine.
+        The maintainer then chooses which changes are going to become a
+        permanent part of the project.

+                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.

+                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

+                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

+                Once you are done with a feature or change and have merged it
+                into your local master branch, simply discard the temporary

+                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.

+                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.

+                <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

+            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.

+            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.

+            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

+            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).

+            Git has an extensive set of commands that lets you manage changes
+            and perform collaboration over the life of a project.
+            Conveniently though, you can manage with a small set of basic
+            operations and workflows once you understand the basic
+            philosophy behind Git.
+            You do not have to be an expert in Git to be functional.
+            A good place to look for instruction on a minimal set of Git

+        If a module requires a license that is not in the base list, the

+
+        <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.

+                        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

+                        <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).

+                    <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.

+                        <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.

+                        <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.

+                        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.

+                        You can build and rebuild individual packages as
+                        needed.
+                        Yocto Project accomplishes this through its

+                        (sstate) scheme.

+                        The sstate mechanism significantly reduces times

+
+        <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.

+        <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>.

+            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

+                        Prelinking is the process of pre-computing the load

+
+                        <para>Historically, cross-prelink is a variant of

+                        a number of years ago.
+                        Both prelink and cross-prelink are maintained in the
+                        same repository albeit on separate branches.
+                        By providing an emulated runtime dynamic linker

+                        cross-prelink project extends the prelink software's
+                        ability to prelink a sysroot environment.
+                        Additionally, the cross-prelink software enables the

+
+                        <para>The dynamic linker determines standard load

+                        function conflicts.
+                        The prelink tool uses this information, from the
+                        dynamic linker, to determine unique load addresses
+                        for executable and linkable format (ELF) binaries
+                        that are shared libraries and dynamically linked.

+                        pre-computed information.
+                        The result is faster loading and often lower memory
+                        consumption because more of the library code can
+                        be re-used from shared Copy-On-Write (COW) pages.
