Since Linus Torvalds has switched the linux git from kernel.org to https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git , Is there a simple edit to make the switch in Yocto/poky??? Jim A

I tried to duplicate the Yocto Project Decelopment Manual Appendix A build of a Crownbay NOEMGD image, no changes just dulicate the instructions. This is using the latest Yocto 1.1. I did get a long w

Just to clear up the basics, Prior to following Appendix A verbatim, I did the following 1. install prerequisites from GS guide 2. git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky 3. cd poky 4. git clone git

The odd thing is not only is the bzImage file is missing, but also is the whole kernel directory that bzImage is supposed to be locate in. /home/jim/poky/yocto-build/tmp/sysroots/mymachine/kernel/bzIm

okay, what you mentioned as the steps below, I agree with, but a couple I don't understand. first, in the linux-yocto_3.0.bbappend file, why is the KMACHINE statement changed to common-pc/atom-pc? If

That's a lot clearer now. So does this mean that If I'm working with edison branch, should I have to change the commits strings at all??? Because the commit strings from your cat'ing of the your file

Well, I finally got a "successful" build without erros of the Appendix A example for Crownbay, but the image created was only 216MB in size and kernel panic'ed because it couldn't find a valid root fi

I'm building on Core i5 desktop with Ubuntu 10.10. One of the odd things I've noticed during the build is it takes the usual long time (couple of hours) to build. However when it get to task ~4000, it

I'm noticing fetcher failures while my bitbake is working. They are listed as warning. Do I ignore these?? WARNING: Fetcher failure for URL: 'None'. Fetch command export HOME="/home/jim"; export SSH_A

I had some success, so I thought I'd report that out: Following a combination of the Yocto Project Development Manual and Tom's notes below, I got a successful build and the image booted from a USB fl

I approach embedded Linux from a path of taking a Distro like Ubuntu or Fedora and chopping it down to a working set of code that forms the final solution. Obviously, not the same methology as Yocto.

I thought the idea was to build a recipe for your device that could create the software complete with all the pieces. Certainly, having a list of packages that you need to install via zypper is fine,

So if I wanted to build Firefox into my Yocto project. How is that done?? Jim A

A couple of items I think need changed in the subject document. 1. the command to copy the license needs recipe changed to recipe-graphics. 2. both of the cp commands need some additional directory re

Question on the subject document: In the atom-pc platform section, the Hard Disk option mentions a bitbake target of 'core-image-minimal-directdisk'. This target is not listed as an option for bitbake

In the past I've built the crownbay-noemgd successfully, using the Development Manual Appendix A corrected instructions that have been patched. I thought I'd try my hand at building the crownbay with

If I remember my MeeGo stuff, then removing this file will eliminate the ability to do Media decode acceleration?? Jim A

Not sure what it takes to get past this error. Just removing the file and rerunning bitbake gets the same error. Do I need to reset something before rerunning???

Okay, that fixed the issue. Now, how was I to know that? Is that a basic step in reruns? I'm guessing if I started from scratch and rm'ed the video file the first time it would have run with PR = "r7"

I was one chapter behind. :-) I guess for my background there are a lot of new concepts. In normal kernel development, back in the day, you edited a file and the date changed and make found it and it'
