* bsp-guide, kernel-dev: Updates to how kernel metadata is foundScott Rifenbark2017-03-313-542/+635
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* dev-manual: Fixed "recipetool create" exampleMartin Vuille2017-01-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #10763] The final example in the section describing how to create the base recipe using receipetool create was wrong. I updated it to use the -d option in addition to the -o opetion. I also changed the description to match appropriately.

* dev-manual, ref-manual: Created new section on initramfsScott Rifenbark2017-01-113-20/+124
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #7096] We did not document how to create an initramfs image to be included with a kernel build. Various variables sort of inferred the knowledge. I created a new section in the "Common Tasks" section of the dev-manual that describes how to create an initramfs image. Also, I updated the kernel.bbclass reference section to point back to the new "how-to" section. Finally, I also created a bunch of cross-reference links from various related variables back to the new "how-to" section.

* ref-manual: Added KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME change to 2.2 migrationScott Rifenbark2016-12-081-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fact that the OpenEmbedded build system can now build multiple image types caused the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable to have the KERNEL_IMAGETYPE portion removed. This could cause existing recipes that use the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable directly issues. I added a section indicating that the user should address those recipes to avoid problems.
