124 | Each Yocto Project release introduces a new set of linux-yocto kernel recipes, | ||
125 | tracking the latest upstream developments and introducing newly supported | ||
126 | platforms. In addition to the new kernel recipes, the previous recipes are | ||
127 | refreshed and supported for at least one additional release. As they align, | ||
128 | these previous releases are updated to include the latest from the LTSI project. | ||
129 | Besides these recipes, a linux-yocto-dev recipe is available for working with | ||
130 | the very latest in upstream Linux kernel development as well as meta-data | ||
131 | development. | ||
132 | |||
133 | If you do not maintain your own kernel sources and need to make only minimal | ||
134 | changes to the sources, these recipes provide a vetted base upon which to layer | ||
135 | your changes. Doing so allows you to benefit from the continual kernel | ||
136 | integration and testing performed during development of the Yocto Project. | ||
137 | |||
138 | If, instead, you have a very specific Linux kernel source tree and are unable to | ||
139 | align with one of the many official linux-yocto releases, an alternative | ||
140 | exists by which you can use the Yocto Project Linux kernel tools with your own | ||
141 | sources. | ||
142 | |||
143 | The sections that follow provide instructions for completing specific Linux | ||
144 | kernel development tasks. They assume familiarity with working with bitbake | ||
145 | recipes and basic open-source development tools. Understanding these concepts | ||
146 | will facilitate the process of working with the kernel recipes. If you find you | ||
147 | need some additional background, please be sure to review and understand the | ||
148 | following documentation: | ||
149 | |||
150 | o Yocto Project Getting Started Guide | ||
151 | o Yocto Project Development Manual | ||
152 | - 4.3 Modifying Temporary Source Code | ||
153 | - 5.1 Understanding and Creating Layers | ||
154 | - 4.1.2 Modifying the Kernel | ||
155 | (This section should be retired, as well as 5.6, 5.7 - with this document | ||
156 | providing the necessary information) | ||
157 | |||
158 | Finally, while this document focuses on the manual creation of recipes, patches, | ||
159 | and configuration files, the Yocto Project BSP tools are available to automate | ||
160 | this process with existing content and work well to create the initial framework | ||
161 | and boilerplate code. For details, refer to the Yocto Project BSP Developer's | ||
162 | Guide. | ||
