my idea of a quick start guide

since it's easier to just write something than suggest numerous
fixes, i took less than an hour and wrote this: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Yocto_Project_Quick_Start it's the sort of thing that would have been perfect for me when i first jumped into yocto. i'm going to add a couple more short sections but, technically, it contains everything i would have needed to know to build my first image. thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Several people have indicated a quick start section like Robert's wiki page would be good in the YP QS. I agree that the idea of diverting the super user to a shortened, more concise section that let's you kick the tires of Yocto is a good idea. I have created a section based on Robert's example from his wiki page. You can see it at this link:

You can see it at this link:It's not a bad section to have, but it doesn't feel integrated into the quickstart, especially the bit about building for Beagleboard xM. Users looking for a truly quick start will still have to troll through pages of introductory overview and concepts before they get to this. I still argue that a new user should be able to build and boot qemux86 sato using the QS guide without having to scroll down. -- Darren -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel |

Also, the Note and Tip blocks formatting has improved, but I still find

I could replace the Beagleboard xM machine with qemux86. The introductory bit up front provides minimal inconvenience to the reader to quickly hop down to the section via the link.

I find that irritating as well and will try and look into changing that.

I find it very annoying to slog through that much material when all I want are the 3 shell commands to get it going, from which I can typically infer a lot. Other have reported similar views. reader to quickly hop down to the section via the link.I missed this on my first scan, despite checking for it. My fault? Sure. But I'm not likely to be the only one. -- Darren Feedback and comments welcome. -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel |
