Thanks for your prompt reply. But is not there any way similar to add
support for TLS1.3 instead of moving to new yocto releases

openssl is tricky to update and requires backporting fixes for many, many recipes
to get builds passing etc. Depending on project size, it may be possible
to update only those components which you use, e.g. backport commits from
poky master or release branches like warrior. The number of backported changes
will be large. I've ported openssl 1.1.1d patches to yocto 2.5 sumo but it wasn't
pretty. A strategy with regular yocto updates is much better and forces you
to think of your dependencies and patches much harder.

Hope this helps,

Do you perhaps want gdb-cross-mipsel ?

cross-canadian is designed to be run as part of the SDK.

Hi,

Good pointers in this thread already. Here are mine:

* Share sstate mirror and download cache from release builds to
developer topic builds. NFS, web server or rsync before calling bitbake
will work.

* I've added buildhistory and prserv database as extra files to sstate mirror
and use that to initiate new developer topic and release builds. This way
we don't add prserv or buildhistory git trees to critical path in builds
but get the benefits of QA checks, binary package versions, full history etc.

* Don't use virtual machines or clouds to build. Bare metal throw away machines
are much faster and more reliable. We've broken all clouds.

* Use rm_work to reduce disk space usage during builds.

* Tune build machines to bind things into memory and to not flush things to disk
all the time since bitbake tmp, images etc are anyways going to be tar'ed
as build output. If they fit to page cache in RAM, you can avoid a lot of IO and
save disks/ssd. Linux kernel vm tuning does this:

$ cat /etc/sysctl.d/99-build_server_fs_ops_to_memory.conf
# fs cache can use 90% of memory before system starts io to disk,
# keep as much as possible in RAM
vm.dirty_background_bytes = 0
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 90
# keep stuff for 12h in memory before writing to disk,
# allows reusing data as much as possible between builds
vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 4320000
vm.dirtytime_expire_seconds = 432000
# allow single process to use 60% of system RAM for file caches, e.g. image build
vm.dirty_bytes = 0
vm.dirty_ratio = 60
# disable periodic background writes, only write when running out of RAM
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 0

* Finding optimal cost and power combination for build slaves is tricky.
Track CPU, memory, IO and network usage for your project and find out which
one is the bottle neck. For us it was RAM. CPUs are not effectly used by bitbake
builds except when all hell breaks loose with C++ projects and their templates.
Lots of CPU time is wasted when running single threaded bitbake tasks and
creating images. Avoiding IO to disk and caching to RAM helps. I've not seen benefits
of having more than 64 gigs of RAM or more than 32 CPUs (with hyper threading).
Also project evolve over time and suddenly may start eating more RAM and triggering
the kernel OOM killer, shivers..

Hope this helps,

None of the techniques from my bag-of-tricks works.
I guess I could go grab the source myself, manually apply the patches
myself, build it, and see if that works.
Or I could sit down real hard and think about why I am trying to debug
the canadian-cross built tool on my development host... perhaps I
should try debugging the native (cross)-gdb on my native host. I'll
go try that now, but, in the mean time, I thought it was about time
for me to ask others for some clues.
Any clues or pointers?

its perhaps due to the fact that host where this will run is sdkhost and not your normal buildhost, so perhaps you can use uninative tarball provided glibc to run it if your sdkhost is similar to buildhost and that might work.

how big is the image its creating, might affect the time. Secondly

Hi Mikko,

Thanks for your reply. I checked your suggestion but does not work for me.
I did included a .bbappend file in which I:

- re-set EXTRA_OECMAKE to an empty string (i.e. ""). - my intention was
to pass no arguments when building the nativesdk. Now I know that this
accion overwrites the value of EXTRA_OECMAKE in the original .bb file
- added the line BBCLASSEXTEND = "nativesdk" to this new .bbappend file
- added the line DEPENDS_class-target += "systemd" to the original .bb
file

I found out that this configures both the target and the nativesdk
libraries without systemd - which later on causes a failure when bitbake
attempts to pull up everything to create the final image.

Basically, I'd like to find a way to unset or overwrite the following
variables when building the nativesdk package:

- SYSTEMD_PACKAGES
- SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN}
- SYSTEMD_AUTO_ENABLE_${PN}
- SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN}-systemd
- SYSTEMD_AUTO_ENABLE_${PN}-systemd
- EXTRA_OECMAKE

You can add _class-[target|native|nativesdk] to all variables
to override defaults.

Verify with "bitbake -e".

Hope this helps,

-Mikko

Is it possible to do so? Or do I come up with another recipe of the sama
package exclusively for the nativesdk?

Thanks again.

Make the systemd dependency for target only, e.g. DEPENDS_class-target +=

There may be relevant use cases to build some of systemd components or

None. Or all of them, depends on how one sees it.

You just create a directory in do_install of a recipe.

You then make sure this directory is part of a package by checking it's

It may be missing /var/log but with systemd there should not be needs to

The volatile did not have the log, so /var/log -> volatile/log was an
invalid link, should I manually create it?

Thanks Mikko,

Well I have zeus and am using read-only rootfs with volatile binds and
I did not need anything extra. I would dig into this /var/log thing

Failed at step STATE_DIRECTORY spawning /lib/systemd/systemd-rfkill:
Read-only file system, did it try to write something in /lib/systemd?
How should I fix it?

Was the problem to write to /var/log, the /var/volatile does not have a log?

All system mount is the same as the original RW rootfs, did both write
to none standard RW system mount?

Here is defined system mount in fstab:

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
tmpfs /run tmpfs
mode=0755,nodev,nosuid,strictatime 0 0
tmpfs /var/volatile tmpfs defaults 0 0


Here is the mount:

# mount
ubi0:rootfs-volume on / type ubifs (ro,relatime,assert=read-only,ubi=0,vol=2)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs
(rw,relatime,size=84564k,nr_inodes=21141,mode=755)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

How should I fix it?

Thank you.

Hi,

I think you may be missing volatile-binds package and service from your image.
See poky/meta/recipes-core/volatile-binds/volatile-binds.bb

It may be missing /var/log but with systemd there should not be needs to write
to that location after image builds...

Does anybody have any tips or tricks for how I might debug the
(cross-canadian) gdb built by Yocto's SDK?

I need to add some printf's to the gdb code to help track down why
something isn't working, but none of my traditional
get-ready-to-debug-this-code techniques are working.

How can I run the gdb that I just built? Note that I am presuming that I can

$ bitbake gdb-cross-canadian-mipsel -ccompile -f

to rebuild gdb after I add a printf or two to it... but I can't figure
out how to run gdb without going through the sdk installation step.

$ bitbake gdb-cross-canadian-mipsel -cdevshell

None of the techniques from my bag-of-tricks works.

I guess I could go grab the source myself, manually apply the patches
myself, build it, and see if that works.

Or I could sit down real hard and think about why I am trying to debug
the canadian-cross built tool on my development host... perhaps I
should try debugging the native (cross)-gdb on my native host. I'll
go try that now, but, in the mean time, I thought it was about time
for me to ask others for some clues.

Any clues or pointers?
