* documentation: Updated the section on creating a general scriptScott Rifenbark2018-03-251-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split this section into two sections: one for creating the layer using bitbake-layers create-layer and one for adding the layer to bblayers.conf using bitbake-layers add-layer. Needed to update some references in the yocto-project-qs and kernel-dev manuals.

* bsp-guide: Removed deprecated tool sectionsScott Rifenbark2018-03-251-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 This tool is no longer maintained and there is no equivalent tool.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.

* kernel-dev: Added new "in-tree" defconfig file section.Scott Rifenbark2015-07-281-0/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I added the new section "Using an "In-Tree" defconfig File" section. This section addresses the ability to not use the default location for defconfig files, which is usually in the metadata layer. The section describes how to use the KBUILD_DEFCONFIG variable.

* kernel-dev: Added detail to start of generating config fileScott Rifenbark2015-07-281-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #7474] The "Generating Configuration Files" section has a procedure that starts with a step to complete a build at least through the kernel configuration task. This is needed but we could use a bit of explanation here. I added some rationale behind why you should do this.
