Hello Yocto community members, Currently I am working on the task of using Yocto to build customized Embedded Linux distribution for an embedded product. I have created a new BSP layer for my project (meta-custommachine) and have successfully created barebox, Linux Kernel and root filesystem images for my board.
Now I wish to create an internal repository for Yocto project to track and maintain the changes. I am unclear what is the better way to create an repository. I googled for the same and found that the Freescale community is maintaining their Yocto project using the repo tool. So I tried to have a similar structure for my project. I created a repo with the default.xml file which has the information about where to fetch the repositories for poky, meta-ptx and meta-custommachine. I am seeing the folder structures as expected and build is also fine. I had a discussion with one of my senior team member about this and he is interested in using git submodules. So I tried to add the layers meta-custommachine and meta-ptx within poky repository as sub-modules. Is this the proper way of adding new layers within the poky repository? Or may I know how can I maintain a Yocto repository using git submodules. Does git submodules work better than repo tool ? I am newbie to create and maintain a repo, so I am not able to visualize what is the future effect of choosing one over the other. Currently I am using the krogoth release of Yocto and planning to update this with new Yocto releases. Any information on the topic would be helpful. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Vinothkumar Eswaran
