Experience survey of using Yocto 1.2
Q: Which architecture did you choose to build? A: qemu x86 and beagleboard Q: How easily were you able to build an image and boot an image? A: very simple. The format of the local.conf is straight forward Q: Is there any surprise to you in the process of doing this Beta testing? If so, would you please describe it and tell us how you expected it to work? A: It took long to build than I expected. Not sure if the parallel build on my machine was working properly. Q: How do you like our HOB interface? Please provide us with your thoughts and suggestions on HOB interface and functionality. A: I had trouble using hob for the beagleboard. I only got to play with it for qemu. I had trouble with package selection. When I tried to build a package list, it often didn't come back with a list. I also saw a number of errors reported in the background terminal when hob was launched. It just reported building packages list ... for a long time. Not sure what it was doing. Since I haven't seen this work to completion, not sure where to file a defect. Q: Was it easy to find the support you needed to build and boot an image? A: yes Q: Which Bugzilla reports did you submit? A: Bug 2232 - hob fails to configure project for beagleboard Q: Did you try anything else with Yocto 1.2? A: I am still in the process of setting up a gdbserver test with beagleboard. I would like to have a easier way to select to create a debug filesystem. I think you can do this with hob, but I had troubles above. Q: What would you like to have in Yocto Project for future releases? A: In the next beta phase, it would be good to get a kick off meeting to got over new features for that release. We could go over suggestion to "divide and conquer" what we should focus on. Also a primer on hob might be a good discussion. I only got to work with it for a few days, since I was on vacation all last week. Considering the short amount of time spent, it went fairly well.
