* kernel-dev, sdk-manual: Unified question spacingGianfranco Costamagna2019-04-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | unify the spacing for questions in various places e.g. before the [Y/n] there should be a space, and before "?" there should be none.

Also, every link using the ENTITY "YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" was changed to "YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL". Most manuals had several occurrences of these links. The makefile needed updating to process the new manual and not process the old "getting-started" manual.

* documentation: Purged the YP Quick Start references from YP setScott Rifenbark2018-05-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original Yocto Project Quick Start is being retired for the YP 2.5 release (sumo). I have purged all the various references from the YP manual set and replaced them with references to the appropriate doc. The references were mainly into the YP dev-manual for setting up the host or for building an image. There were a few references into the new "Yocto Project Quick Build" document for overviewing manual-type references.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I took out the sections at the end of the manual that talked about the yocto-kernel tool. This tool is no longer maintained and there is no equivalent tool. I also fixed the yocto-bsp tool to be the bitbake-layers tool. This involved some consolidation of sections. I fixed some links in the kernel-dev and toaster-manual.

* documentation: Created new "Getting Started" manual.Scott Rifenbark2018-02-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Creation involved removing the overview-manual and replacing it with the getting-started manual. All links to the string "&YOCTO_DOCS_OVERVIEW_URL" had to be replaced with "&YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" across the entire YP manual set. I renamed files used to create the manual with prefixes suited for the new manual name, which is "Getting Started With Yocto Project". The style sheet for the new manual needed updating to display the new .PNG image for the title page. The mega-manual file had to be updated to include the files. The mega-manual.sed file had to be updated to include the new manual and not use the overview manual.

* documentation: Created new YP Overview ManualScott Rifenbark2018-02-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #12370] Added a new chapter to the newly created Yocto Project Overview Manual. This chapter originated from the YP Reference Manual and was the old chapter 3, which talked a lot about various concepts. This information is better suited for the new overview manual. The change involved moving the entire chapter and renaming it. This move of the content affected many, many external references and links into the old area. Consequently, I had to recast all these links from the different manual. Changes also included fixing the mega-manual.xml file so that it would include the new overview manual as part of it. Many figures had to be relocated as part of the move as well. This meant deleting them from the ref-manual/figures folder and putting them into the overview-manual/figures folder.

* dev-manual, kernel-dev: Replaced yocto-layers with bitbake-layers commandScott Rifenbark2017-10-301-29/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The yocto-layers script is being deprecated in the 2.4 YP release and the preferred script is now bitbake-layers. In particular, the section that talks about creating a general layer was using yocto-layers create. I have replaced it with bitbake-layers create-layer command. The bsp-guide and kernel-dev manual had links that used (in the case of kernel-dev) and referenced yocto-layers. I had to change these to reflect using bitbake-layers create-layers.

One was a new section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained. Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.

* documentation: Fixed links to "bitbake-term"Scott Rifenbark2017-06-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] Moving the "Yocto Project Terms" section from the dev-manual to the ref-manual. Doing so caused all the links to the id "bitbake-term" to break. These had to be individually fixed. Discovered two unresolved references that were a consequence of moving that section to the ref-manual. These were fixed as well.

* bsp-guide, kernel-dev: Updates to how kernel metadata is foundScott Rifenbark2017-03-311-2/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #10946] There was insufficient information in the combination of the BSP Guide and the Kernel Development Manual on just how to locate and use kernel metadata. * bsp-guide - Removed the detailed append file example for the kernel recipe. This is moved now to the chapter in the kernel manual that describes append files. * kernel-dev - Placed the example from the BSP Guide into the section that describes kernel append files. Cleaned up some terminology issues throughout chapter 3. Added information about how BitBake picks up kernel metadata when the metadata is in a hierarchical directory and not just a simple *.scc file.

* kernel-dev: Fix the locations of .config and source directoryScott Rifenbark2016-06-061-5/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The locations of the kernel .config file and source direcotry moved a couple releases ago. Updated the documentation accordingly. Also added a note explaining how to check the expansion of variables, which servs a couple of purposes: * For curious readers, shows them how to understand where these variables come from and how they are used. * For suspicious readers, shows them how they can verify that the variables in the documentation are actually correct.
