Hi Nicolas, I guess part of your problem is that DISTRO does not end up in any package grouping, unlike MACHINE and ARCH and so. So if OE/Yocto does The Right Thing, this means that it will have to re

Quick answer: Don't build multiple distros in one build directory. You might get away with setting TMPDIR = "tmp-${DISTRO}" to give each its own. But I'd rather advice to set up two separate builds an

I'd suggest adding some "bogus" things to your machine-extra.conf, because I don't think the file will actually be used (or even parsed) anywhere. You can override SERIAL_CONSOLES in your DISTRO confi

Ah, just writing to the list appeared to have helped. For the dependency to work, you need both a "Requires" and an "After" directive, i.e. [unit] ... Requires=sys-devices-platform-gpu-graphics-fb0.de

psplash doesn't work on my system because systemd attempts to start it at 1.6 seconds into boot, while the fb device is created 1.9 seconds after booting. This results in: [FAILED] Failed to start Sta

I tend to use a reasonably standard image, usually the one that will evolve into the product, and once the network (usb, ethernet or wifi) is up, use "opkg install" to grab whatever else I need from m

You can use both by changing the directory for downloads and sstate-cache. Put these in your local.conf: SSTATE_DIR = "/opt/sstate-cache" DL_DIR = "/opt/downloads" (You change "/opt" to some other loc

The simplest solution is to use autotools or Cmake for your project. That will automatically "do the right thing" to get the library properly installed and registered. Even if your project is just one

We're sharing the sstate-cache on plain Ubuntu LTS machines, all installed from wherever, and no issues with low hitrates. Even if the build server was running something like ubuntu 14 and "my" machin

My guess is that your busybox isn't configured to produce mdev. Run "bitbake -c menuconfig busybox" and enable it (and save the config fragment for later)

It would be really great if some sort of "weight" could be attached to a task. This relates to memory usage. My system has 16 cores but only 8GB RAM. With both parallelization options to "16", I might

You should really investigate the sstate-cache. Oh, and don't delete everything after every build... If you take a brand new Ubuntu machine to our network, clone the repo and run a build, the XFCE des

Seems a bit excessive to buy hardware just to handle a particular corner case. Most of OE/Yocto code is plain C, not even C++. My rig only has 8GB but doesn't run into memory issues during big GUI bui
