the setup: for better or worse, i and a local colleague are submitting a proposal to give a 1/2-day tutorial on OE/yocto at this year's ottawa linux symposium:
http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2012/ and my plan is to start from the absolute basics and walk attendees through the really simple operations they can do with OE, building up to (ideally) using yocto to configure and build an image for a pandaboard ES. along the way, there will be explanations of how to create and customize recipes and layers, how to define a whole new BSP and so on. but the most important part of all of this will be stressing the fundamentals -- what one can do beginning with an absolutely minimal OE/bitbake setup and slowly checking out additional layers. to that end, i'm going to start with nothing more than a git clone of oe-core and bitbake and demonstrate how much one can do with only that. obviously, with just that, you're restricted to generating only basic QEMU images but that's enough to demonstrate a great deal of OE. so over the next several posts, i'm going to be asking about one issue at a time, trying to clarify everything there is to know about it, condense it, and eventually push it back into the OE docs currently residing over at the yocto project. so the starting point is: $ git clone git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core oe-core $ cd oe-core $ git clone git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake bitbake first couple posts coming shortly ... rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
