%poky; ] > The Yocto Project build process supports several types of images to satisfy different needs. When you issue the bitbake command you provide a “top-level” recipe that essentially begins the build for the type of image you want. Building an image without GNU Public License Version 3 (GPLv3) components is only supported for minimal and base images. Furthermore, if you are going to build an image using non-GPLv3 components, you must make the following changes in the local.conf file before using the BitBake command to build the minimal or base image: 1. Comment out the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line 2. Set INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPLv3" From within the poky Git repository, use the following command to list the supported images: $ ls meta*/recipes*/images/*.bb These recipes reside in the meta/recipes-core/images, meta/recipes-extended/images, meta/recipes-graphics/images, and meta/recipes-sato/images directories of your local Yocto Project file structure (Git repository or extracted release tarball). Although the recipe names are somewhat explanatory, here is a list that describes them: core-image-base: A console-only image that fully supports the target device hardware. core-image-core: An X11 image with simple applications such as terminal, editor, and file manager. core-image-minimal: A small image just capable of allowing a device to boot. core-image-minimal-dev: A core-image-minimal image suitable for development work using the host. The image includes headers and libraries you can use in a host development environment. core-image-minimal-initramfs: A core-image-minimal image that has the Minimal RAM-based Initial Root Filesystem (initramfs) as part of the kernel, which allows the system to find the first “init” program more efficiently. core-image-minimal-mtdutils: A core-image-minimal image that has support for the Minimal MTD Utilities, which let the user interact with the MTD subsystem in the kernel to perform operations on flash devices. core-image-basic: A foundational basic image without support for X that can be reasonably used for customization. core-image-lsb: A core-image-basic image suitable for implementations that conform to Linux Standard Base (LSB). core-image-lsb-dev: A core-image-lsb image that is suitable for development work using the host. The image includes headers and libraries you can use in a host development environment. core-image-lsb-sdk: A core-image-lsb that includes everything in meta-toolchain but also includes development headers and libraries to form a complete standalone SDK. This image is suitable for development using the target. See the " External Development Using the Poky SDK" section for more information. core-image-clutter: An image with support for the Open GL-based toolkit Clutter, which enables development of rich and animated graphical user interfaces. core-image-sato: An image with Sato support, a mobile environment and visual style that works well with mobile devices. The image supports X11 with a Sato theme and Pimlico applications and also contains terminal, editor, and file manager. core-image-sato-dev: A core-image-sato image suitable for development using the host. The image includes libraries needed to build applications on the device itself, testing and profiling tools, and debug symbols. This image was formerly core-image-sdk. core-image-sato-sdk: A core-image-sato image that includes everything in meta-toolchain. The image also includes development headers and libraries to form a complete standalone SDK and is suitable for development using the target. See the " External Development Using the Poky SDK" section for more information. From the Yocto Project release 1.1 onwards, -live and -directdisk images have been replaced by a "live" option in IMAGE_FSTYPES that will work with any image to produce an image file that can be copied directly to a CD or USB device and run as is. To build a live image, simply add "live" to IMAGE_FSTYPES within the local.conf file or wherever appropriate and then build the desired image as normal.
