[yocto] Yocto Kernel Module Workflow Question

I am developing a codec kernel driver/module for the BeagleBone Black and have a question about the recommended work-flow for developing this module in the context of the Yocto/poky environment. Currently I'm working with the Daisy release using the meta-ti layer and the linux-ti-staging_3.14

[yocto] [PATCH] Fix gitsm.py bug that prevents fetching submodules within submodules.

Previous versions of the gitsm.py fetcher did not anticipate submodules themselves having additional submodules. This fix adds a recursive option so all nested submodules are fetched as well. --- bitbake/lib/bb/fetch2/gitsm.py | 6 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff

[yocto] How to use Git sub-module fetcher (gitsm://) in a recipe?

I noticed a new fetcher recently that appears to support fetching Git sub-modules from within a Git project. Unfortunately, I cannot find any examples of how it's used from within a recipe. There is a GitHub project I'd like my fetcher to clone that contains a submodule. Obviously I'd like the

[yocto] OPKG configuration questions

I have several questions regarding configuring the OPKG package management support in my target image. 1) I'm having difficulty getting the /var/lib/opkg directory to be created and populated with a list of installed packages. 2) I can't figure out (e.g. can find no documentation) that describe

[yocto] Syntax for specifying multiple URI's in a PREMIRRORS statement?

I'm trying to figure out the syntax for specifying more than one URI in a single PREMIRROR statement, e.g. PREMIRRORS_append = git://.*/.* file://toplevel/premirror ftp://ftp.acme.com/pre_mirror/foo \n So for all git fetches I want it to *first* look in a local premirror directory and if the

[yocto] Is there still a Yocto dependency on bash (versus dash)?

I recall a while back that OE/poky had issues with Ubuntu's dash shell (Ubuntu's replacement for bash) which required the the shell to be linked to bash rather than dash. Is this (bash) still a requirement for Yocto/Poky or does it work with dash now.

[yocto] Creating a meta-layer for a third-party GCC-based binary tool-chain - how?

I'm trying to create a meta-layer for a third-party GCC-based proprietary tool-chain. I need to be able to select this tool-chain on a per-recipe basis while other recipes may either the standard Yocto native/cross-tool-chain. This proprietary tool chain is divided into a host-tool part (where all

[yocto] Trying to Integrate QNX's Neutrino 6.5.0 toolcain into OE/Yocto as a foreign (external) tool-chain

The company I work for tends to do a fair amount of work in both Linux and QNX. Primarily we use the Bitbake/OpenEmbedded/Yocto build framework to build individual recipes (packages, e.g. libraries, apps, etc...) and ultimately Linux BSP images for several HW platforms and CPUs. As I understand it
