| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Should have been two commits but I forgot to do them separately. 1. I updated the YP Compatible Program section. 2. I moved the "Configuring the Kernel" section from the dev-manual to the kernel-dev manual.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11968] Purged all occurrences of the "oe-init-build-env-memres" script from the YP documentation set. Occurrences in a lot of places.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The section on the devtool workflow in the dev-manual was 99% identical to what was in the sdk-manual. I have moved the workflow procedure from the old "Model" chapter of the dev-manual to be merged with what was in the sdk-manual. In truth, the only things added were a note about devtool not being exclusive to SDK development. The result of moving (deleting) this section was that the "model" chapter of the dev-manual went away. The devtool stuff, Quilt, devshell, and python shell are all out now and there is no chapter left. So, mega-manual had to be adjusted to not pull that chapter in when building the dev-manual. I had to delete three figures that were used in the flow. The figures were already replicated in the sdk-manual. The figures were deleted from the figures folder of both the dev-manual and the mega-manual. I had to make sure all references to the old devtool stuf in the YP doc set were adjusted.

I have moved this section to the ref-manual under "The Yocto Project Development Environment" section. Moving the section affected several things. Three figures that where in the dev-manual were copied and moved to the figures folder of the ref-manual. This required deleting them from the dev-manual and adding them to the ref-manual. The makefile had to be edited to move those figures into the ref-manual and delete them from the latest version of the dev-manual in order for the tarball of files to be correct when the manuals are made.

* kernel-dev: Provided better wording for recipe-space metadata sectionScott Rifenbark2017-03-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #10946] Based on feedback, I made some minor rewrites to a sentence describing when you need to use a different form to get BitBake to pick up hierarchical data as kernel data.

* bsp-guide, kernel-dev: Updates to how kernel metadata is foundScott Rifenbark2017-03-312-165/+374
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Reorganized Kernel Metadata Location and Syntax sectionsScott Rifenbark2017-03-241-169/+169
| | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems that the two sections "Kernel Metadata Location" and "Kernel Metadata Syntax" were flipped regarding their order of apperance in the kernel-dev manual. I belive that syntax should be first and then followed by a discussion on the location. I have swapped these section's ordering in the manual.

* kernel-dev: Corrected linking format for two variables.Scott Rifenbark2017-03-241-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Convention is to avoid using hyperlinks for variables that appear in <literallayout>/</literallalyout> coded blocks. I removed the links for the KERNEL_FEATURES and LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE variables, which appeared in a literal block and put the links into the context of the description.
