I can give you a bit of an idea from a practical standpoint, since I've also started working on a BSP for a new board just recently (i.e. I'm actually still on the learning curve myself, hopefully

Kernel is the biggest part you'd work out which thanks to Bruce you should have rich information below. Besides, you may also have some board specific firmware, 3rd party components, xserver,

Would you ever have a situation where you build the SDK on one distro version but install and use it on another one? If so, does this affect your decisions?

In general this is true.... however there are cases where a helper application needs to be built, i.e. to generate a structure list... to compile some specialized code, etc.. This can use the host

Hello, I'd like to get some better clarity about what constitutes host contamination when it comes to building packages. Could someone with deeper knowledge of these issues clarify or comment on the

Hi Gary, I just setup my machine for ppc and create a new auto tools based c project and everything seems working fine for me, so if you go "Window->Preferecencs->Yocto SDK" in that setup window, do

I can answer from the kernel point of view. The supported yocto kernel(s) (currently 2.6.34 and shortly 2.6.37-rcX) are the place where I can assist in getting you up and running with a new

BTW, this was on my console (hidden by the eclipse window), in case it helps: get env key CC value powerpc-poky-linux-gcc get env key CXX value powerpc-poky-linux-g++ get env key GDB value

I did that and now I can move a bit farther. I managed to select my SDK type (ppc603e-poky-linux) and started with the autotools example. However, I get this error when trying to run

You can use ASSUME_PROVIDED to use system versions of native tools, though it's generally not recommended. git grep for the term to find some examples. As to building things which seem unrelated,

Thanks, I installed Helios directly from the Eclipse site and that's working better now. I also installed the components you mention above. When I try to configure Yocto, I'm trying to use the Poky

Gary Thomas wrote on 2010-11-22: Gary, Sorry for the thin documentation about eclipse plug-in installation. The Yocto eclipse plugin has some dependencies on other eclipse plugins: - C/C++

I tried to follow the documentation in the Poky manual (still thin...), but it seems I'm now stuck. I get this error: Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be

Hi all, This is latest Yocto bug trend chart. The open bug number rises a little to 152(last week was 148). With bug triage, most of undecided bugs are set to Medium priority. We have fixed the

I'm interested in trying the Yocto Eclipse plugin with my Poky based builds. That said, I'm a true Eclipse novice :-( Does anyone have some guidance on what packages I might need to install to get a

I've created a new layer which provides a linux kernel. This layer applies to boards (ie beagleboard) that are defined in meta/conf/machines which specify linux-wrs as their preferred kernel. Is

By changing machine type (and therefor architecture) I probably trigger at least all the non -native builds. These were clean builds. I'd just like to eliminate as much of that as possible when

That's interesting. Did you build from scratch or incrementally? Ideally only recipes being changed will be rebuilt in incremental way. "bitbake -k" is one method if you're sure the dependency

While working on a single package, I need to be able to tweak a variable in the new recipe, change the MACHINE in local.conf, etc. I'd like to be able to rapidly test my changes, but some of these
