            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Extension to the Application Binary Interface (ABI)
                    field of the GNU canonical architecture name
                    (e.g. "eabi").
                </para>

                <para>
                   ABI extensions are set in the machine include files.
                   For example, the
                   <filename>meta/conf/machine/include/arm/arch-arm.inc</filename>
                   file sets the following extension:
                   <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ABIEXTENSION = "eabi"
                   </literallayout>
                </para>
            </glossdef>
        </glossentry>

         <glossentry id='var-ALLOW_EMPTY'><glossterm>ALLOW_EMPTY</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                   Specifies if an output package should still be produced if it is empty.
                   By default, BitBake does not produce empty packages.
                   This default behavior can cause issues when there is an
                   <link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'><filename>RDEPENDS</filename></link> or
                   some other hard runtime requirement on the existence of the package.
                </para>

                <para>
                   Like all package-controlling variables, you must always use them in
                   conjunction with a package name override, as in:
                   <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN} = "1"
     ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN}-dev = "1"
     ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN}-staticdev = "1"
                   </literallayout>
                </para>
            </glossdef>
         </glossentry>

         <glossentry id='var-ALTERNATIVE'><glossterm>ALTERNATIVE</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Lists commands in a package that need an alternative
                    binary naming scheme.
                    Sometimes the same command is provided in multiple packages.
                    When this occurs, the OpenEmbedded build system needs to
                    use the alternatives system to create a different binary
                    naming scheme so the commands can co-exist.
                </para>

                <para>
                    To use the variable, list out the package's commands
                    that also exist as part of another package.
                    For example, if the <filename>busybox</filename> package
                    has four commands that also exist as part of another
                    package, you identify them as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ALTERNATIVE_busybox = "sh sed test bracket"

                    Used by the alternatives system to map duplicated commands
                    to actual locations.
                    For example, if the <filename>bracket</filename> command
                    provided by the <filename>busybox</filename> package is
                    duplicated through another package, you must use the
                    <filename>ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME</filename> variable to
                    specify the actual location:

     ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[bracket] = "/usr/bin/["
                    </literallayout>
                    In this example, the binary for the

                    <filename>[</filename>) from the

        <replaceable>action</replaceable> is:
           ABORT:     Immediately abort the build when
                      a threshold is broken.
           STOPTASKS: Stop the build after the currently
                      executing tasks have finished when
                      a threshold is broken.
           WARN:      Issue a warning but continue the
                      build when a threshold is broken.
                      Subsequent warnings are issued as
                      defined by the
                      <link linkend='var-BB_DISKMON_WARNINTERVAL'>BB_DISKMON_WARNINTERVAL</link> variable,

        <replaceable>dir</replaceable> is:
           Any directory you choose. You can specify one or
           more directories to monitor by separating the
           groupings with a space.  If two directories are
           on the same device, only the first directory
           is monitored.

        <replaceable>threshold</replaceable> is:
           Either the minimum available disk space,
           the minimum number of free inodes, or
           both.  You must specify at least one.  To
           omit one or the other, simply omit the value.
           Specify the threshold using G, M, K for Gbytes,
           Mbytes, and Kbytes, respectively. If you do
           not specify G, M, or K, Kbytes is assumed by
           default.  Do not use GB, MB, or KB.

                    The first example works only if you also provide

                    in the <filename>conf/local.conf</filename>.
                    This example causes the build system to immediately
                    abort when either the disk space in <filename>${TMPDIR}</filename> drops
                    below 1 Gbyte or the available free inodes drops below
                    100 Kbytes.
                    Because two directories are provided with the variable, the
                    build system also issue a
                    warning when the disk space in the
                    <filename>${SSTATE_DIR}</filename> directory drops
                    below 1 Gbyte or the number of free inodes drops
                    below 100 Kbytes.
                    Subsequent warnings are issued during intervals as
                    defined by the <filename>BB_DISKMON_WARNINTERVAL</filename>
                    variable.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The second example stops the build after all currently
                    executing tasks complete when the minimum disk space
                    in the <filename>${<link linkend='var-TMPDIR'>TMPDIR</link>}</filename>
                    directory drops below 1 Gbyte.
                    No disk monitoring occurs for the free inodes in this case.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The final example immediately aborts the build when the
                    number of free inodes in the <filename>${TMPDIR}</filename> directory
                    drops below 100 Kbytes.
                    No disk space monitoring for the directory itself occurs
                    in this case.

                    For example, a layer that has a recipe with a higher <filename>PV</filename> value but for

                    For example, the value 6 has a higher precedence than the value 5.
                    If not specified, the <filename>BBFILE_PRIORITY</filename> variable is set based on layer
                    dependencies (see the

                    The default priority, if unspecified

                    In order for BitBake to build your image using Hob, your
                    <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file must include the
                    <filename>meta</filename> and <filename>meta-yocto</filename>
                    core layers.
                    Here is an example that shows these two layers listed in
                    the <filename>BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE</filename> statement:

                    Prevents BitBake from processing recipes and recipe
                    append files.
                    Use the <filename>BBMASK</filename> variable from within the
                    <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> file found
                    in the
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.

                <para>
                    You can use the <filename>BBMASK</filename> variable
                    to "hide" these <filename>.bb</filename> and
                    <filename>.bbappend</filename> files.
                    BitBake ignores any recipe or recipe append files that
                    match the expression.
                    It is as if BitBake does not see them at all.
                    Consequently, matching files are not parsed or otherwise
                    used by BitBake.</para>
                <para>
                    The value you provide is passed to Python's regular
                    expression compiler.
                    The expression is compared against the full paths to
                    the files.
                    For complete syntax information, see Python's
                    documentation at

                </para>

                <para>
                    The following example uses a complete regular expression
                    to tell BitBake to ignore all recipe and recipe append
                    files in the <filename>meta-ti/recipes-misc/</filename>
                    directory:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     BBMASK = "meta-ti/recipes-misc/"
                    </literallayout>
                    If you want to mask out multiple directories or recipes,
                    use the vertical bar to separate the regular expression
                    fragments.
                    This next example masks out multiple directories and
                    individual recipes:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     BBMASK = "meta-ti/recipes-misc/|meta-ti/recipes-ti/packagegroup/"
     BBMASK .= "|.*meta-oe/recipes-support/"

     BBMASK .= "|.*opencv"
     BBMASK .= "|.*lzma"
                    </literallayout>
                    Notice how the vertical bar is used to append the fragments.
                    <note>
                        When specifying a directory name, use the trailing
                        slash character to ensure you match just that directory
                        name.

                    This select list of features contains features that make
                    sense to be controlled both at the machine and distribution
                    configuration level.
                    For example, the "bluetooth" feature requires hardware
                    support but should also be optional at the distribution
                    level, in case the hardware supports Bluetooth but you
                    do not ever intend to use it.

                    complementary packages for all the packages explicitly
                    (or implicitly) installed in an image.
                    The resulting list of complementary packages is associated
                    with an item that can be added to
                    <link linkend='var-IMAGE_FEATURES'><filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename></link>.
                    An example usage of this is the "dev-pkgs" item that when
                    added to <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> will
                    install -dev packages (containing headers and other
                    development files) for every package in the image.

                <para>

                    variable flag to specify the feature item name and
                    use the value to specify the wildcard.
                    Here is an example:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     COMPLEMENTARY_GLOB[dev-pkgs] = '*-dev'

                <para>
                    Identifies editable or configurable files that are part of a package.
                    If the Package Management System (PMS) is being used to update
                    packages on the target system, it is possible that
                    configuration files you have changed after the original installation
                    and that you now want to remain unchanged are overwritten.
                    In other words, editable files might exist in the package that you do not
                    want reset as part of the package update process.
                    You can use the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> variable to list the files in the
                    package that you wish to prevent the PMS from overwriting during this update process.
                </para>

                <para>
                    To use the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> variable, provide a package name
                    override that identifies the resulting package.
                    Then, provide a space-separated list of files.
                    Here is an example:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     CONFFILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/file1 \
        ${sysconfdir}/file2 ${sysconfdir}/file3"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    A relationship exists between the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> and
                    <filename><link linkend='var-FILES'>FILES</link></filename> variables.
                    The files listed within <filename>CONFFILES</filename> must be a subset of
                    the files listed within <filename>FILES</filename>.
                    Because the configuration files you provide with <filename>CONFFILES</filename>
                    are simply being identified so that the PMS will not overwrite them,
                    it makes sense that
                    the files must already be included as part of the package through the
                    <filename>FILES</filename> variable.
                </para>

                <note>
                    When specifying paths as part of the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> variable,
                    it is good practice to use appropriate path variables.
                    For example, <filename>${sysconfdir}</filename> rather than
                    <filename>/etc</filename> or <filename>${bindir}</filename> rather
                    than <filename>/usr/bin</filename>.
                    You can find a list of these variables at the top of the
                    <filename>meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename> file in the
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.

                    Identifies the initial RAM disk (initramfs) source files.
                    The OpenEmbedded build system receives and uses
                    this kernel Kconfig variable as an environment variable.
                    By default, the variable is set to null ("").

                <para>
                    The <filename>CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE</filename> can be
                    either a single cpio archive with a
                    <filename>.cpio</filename> suffix or a
                    space-separated list of directories and files for building
                    the initramfs image.
                    A cpio archive should contain a filesystem archive
                    to be used as an initramfs image.
                    Directories should contain a filesystem layout to be
                    included in the initramfs image.
                    Files should contain entries according to the format
                    described by the
                    <filename>usr/gen_init_cpio</filename> program in the

                    If you specify multiple directories and files, the

                    Lists a recipe's build-time dependencies
                    (i.e. other recipe files).
                    The system ensures that all the dependencies listed
                    have been built and have their contents in the appropriate
                    sysroots before the recipe's configure task is executed.

                <para>
                    Consider this simple example for two recipes named "a" and
                    "b" that produce similarly named packages.
                    In this example, the <filename>DEPENDS</filename>
                    statement appears in the "a" recipe:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     DEPENDS = "b"
                    </literallayout>
                    Here, the dependency is such that the
                    <link linkend='ref-tasks-configure'><filename>do_configure</filename></link>
                    task for recipe "a" depends on the
                    <link linkend='ref-tasks-populate_sysroot'><filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename></link>
                    task of recipe "b".
                    This means anything that recipe "b" puts into sysroot
                    is available when recipe "a" is configuring itself.

                </para>

                <para>
                    By default, the signature is set to an automatically
                    generated random value that allows the OpenEmbedded
                    build system to create a boot loader.
                    You can override the signature in the image recipe
                    by setting <filename>DISK_SIGNATURE</filename> to an
                    8-digit hex string.
                    You might want to override
                    <filename>DISK_SIGNATURE</filename> if you want the disk
                    signature to remain constant between image builds.

                <para>
                    When using Linux 3.8 or later, you can use
                    <filename>DISK_SIGNATURE</filename> to specify the root
                    by UUID to allow the kernel to locate the root device
                    even if the device name changes due to differences in
                    hardware configuration.
                    By default, <filename>SYSLINUX_ROOT</filename> is set
                    as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     SYSLINUX_ROOT = "root=/dev/sda2"
                    </literallayout>
                    However, you can change this to locate the root device
                    using the disk signature instead:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     SYSLINUX_ROOT = "root=PARTUUID=${DISK_SIGNATURE}-02"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    As previously mentioned, it is possible to set the
                    <filename>DISK_SIGNATURE</filename> variable in your
                    <filename>local.conf</filename> file to a fixed
                    value if you do not want <filename>syslinux.cfg</filename>
                    changing for each build.
                    You might find this useful when you want to upgrade the
                    root filesystem on a device without having to recreate or
                    modify the master boot record.

                    that contains the distribution configuration.
                    The value for <filename>DISTRO</filename> must not contain

                    In most cases, the presence or absence of a feature in

                    For example, specifying "x11" in
                    <filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename>, causes
                    every piece of software built for the target that can
                    optionally support X11 to have its X11 support enabled.

                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
"dbg-pkgs" - Adds -dbg packages for all installed packages
             including symbol information for debugging and
             profiling.

"debug-tweaks" - Makes an image suitable for development.
                 For example, ssh root access has a blank
                 password.  You should remove this feature
                 before you produce a production image.

"dev-pkgs" - Adds -dev packages for all installed packages.
             This is useful if you want to develop against
             the libraries in the image.

"read-only-rootfs" - Creates an image whose root
                     filesystem is read-only. See the
                     "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#creating-a-read-only-root-filesystem'>Creating a Read-Only Root Filesystem</ulink>"

                     Development Manual for more
                     information

"tools-debug" - Adds debugging tools such as gdb and
                strace.

"tools-profile" - Adds profiling tools such as oprofile,
                  exmap, lttng and valgrind (x86 only).

"tools-sdk" - Adds development tools such as gcc, make,
              pkgconfig and so forth.

"tools-testapps" - Adds useful testing tools such as
                   ts_print, aplay, arecord and so
                   forth.

     FEED_DEPLOYDIR_BASE_URI = "http://192.168.7.1/BOARD-dir"
                    </literallayout>
                    This example assumes you are serving your packages over
                    HTTP and your databases are located in a directory
                    named <filename>BOARD-dir</filename>, which is underneath
                    your HTTP server's document-root.
                    In this case, the OpenEmbedded build system generates a set
                    of configuration files for you in your target that work
                    with the feed.

                <para>
                    To use the <filename>FILES</filename> variable, provide a
                    package name override that identifies the resulting package.
                    Then, provide a space-separated list of files or paths
                    that identify the files you want included as part of the
                    resulting package.
                    Here is an example:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     FILES_${PN} += "${bindir}/mydir1/ ${bindir}/mydir2/myfile"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <note>
                    When specifying paths as part of the
                    <filename>FILES</filename> variable, it is good practice
                    to use appropriate path variables.
                    For example, use <filename>${sysconfdir}</filename> rather
                    than <filename>/etc</filename>, or
                    <filename>${bindir}</filename> rather than
                    <filename>/usr/bin</filename>.
                    You can find a list of these variables at the top of the
                    <filename>meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename> file in the
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.

                    If some of the files you provide with the

                    know they should not be overwritten during the package
                    update process by the Package Management System (PMS), you
                    can identify these files so that the PMS will not
                    overwrite them.

                    Extends the search path the OpenEmbedded build system uses
                    when looking for files and patches as it processes recipes
                    and append files.
                    The default directories BitBake uses when it processes
                    recipes are initially defined by the
                    <link linkend='var-FILESPATH'><filename>FILESPATH</filename></link>
                    variable.
                    You can extend <filename>FILESPATH</filename> variable
                    by using <filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Best practices dictate that you accomplish this by using
                    <filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename> from within a
                    <filename>.bbappend</filename> file and that you prepend
                    paths as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
                    </literallayout>
                    In the above example, the build system first looks for files
                    in a directory that has the same name as the corresponding
                    append file.
                    <note>
                        <para>When extending <filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename>,
                        be sure to use the immediate expansion
                        (<filename>:=</filename>) operator.
                        Immediate expansion makes sure that BitBake evaluates
                        <link linkend='var-THISDIR'><filename>THISDIR</filename></link>
                        at the time the directive is encountered rather than at
                        some later time when expansion might result in a
                        directory that does not contain the files you need.
                        </para>
                        <para>Also, include the trailing separating colon
                        character if you are prepending.
                        The trailing colon character is necessary because you
                        are directing BitBake to extend the path by prepending
                        directories to the search path.</para>
                    </note>
                    Here is another common use:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
                    </literallayout>
                    In this example, the build system extends the
                    <filename>FILESPATH</filename> variable to include a
                    directory named <filename>files</filename> that is in the
                    same directory as the corresponding append file.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Here is a final example that specifically adds three paths:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "path_1:path_2:path_3:"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    By prepending paths in <filename>.bbappend</filename>
                    files, you allow multiple append files that reside in
                    different layers but are used for the same recipe to
                    correctly extend the path.

                    You typically do not need to set this variable unless

                    For example, setting <filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename>
                    as follows causes the build system to create root
                    filesystems using two formats: <filename>.ext3</filename>
                    and <filename>.tar.bz2</filename>:

                        variable, which allows the initial RAM disk (initramfs)

                    Additionally, "helper" classes exist, such as

                    lists and turn these into auto-generated entries in

                <para>
                    Using <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename> with the

                    an image recipe is not recommended as it can cause ordering
                    issues.
                    Since <filename>core-image.bbclass</filename> sets
                    <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename> to a default value using
                    the <filename>?=</filename> operator, using a
                    <filename>+=</filename> operation against
                    <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename> will result in
                    unexpected behavior when used in
                    <filename>conf/local.conf</filename>.
                    Furthermore, the same operation from within an image
                    recipe may or may not succeed depending on the specific
                    situation.
                    In both these cases, the behavior is contrary to how most
                    users expect the <filename>+=</filename> operator to work.

                    When you use this variable, it is best to use it as follows:

                    during the root filesystem construction process.
                    The OpenEmbedded build system automatically splits locale
                    files, which are used for localization, into separate
                    packages.
                    Setting the <filename>IMAGE_LINGUAS</filename> variable
                    ensures that any locale packages that correspond to packages
                    already selected for installation into the image are also
                    installed.
                    Here is an example:

                    Defines a multiplier that the build system applies to the initial image
                    size for cases when the multiplier times the returned disk usage value
                    for the image is greater than the sum of
                    <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE'>IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE</link></filename>
                    and
                    <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE'>IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE</link></filename>.
                    The result of the multiplier applied to the initial image size creates
                    free disk space in the image as overhead.
                    By default, the build process uses a multiplier of 1.3 for this variable.
                    This default value results in 30% free disk space added to the image when this
                    method is used to determine the final generated image size.
                    You should be aware that post install scripts and the package management
                    system uses disk space inside this overhead area.
                    Consequently, the multiplier does not produce an image with
                    all the theoretical free disk space.
                    See <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE'>IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE</link></filename>
                    for information on how the build system determines the overall image size.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The default 30% free disk space typically gives the image enough room to boot
                    and allows for basic post installs while still leaving a small amount of
                    free disk space.
                    If 30% free space is inadequate, you can increase the default value.
                    For example, the following setting gives you 50% free space added to the image:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR = "1.5"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    Alternatively, you can ensure a specific amount of free disk space is added
                    to the image by using the
                    <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE'>IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE</link></filename>
                    variable.

                    Defines additional free disk space created in the image in Kbytes.
                    By default, this variable is set to "0".
                    This free disk space is added to the image after the build system determines

                    This variable is particularly useful when you want to ensure that a
                    specific amount of free disk space is available on a device after an image
                    is installed and running.
                    For example, to be sure 5 Gbytes of free disk space is available, set the
                    variable as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE = "5242880"

                </para>

                <para>
                    For example, the Yocto Project Build Appliance specifically requests 40 Gbytes
                    of extra space with the line:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE = "41943040"

                    Defines the size in Kbytes for the generated image.
                    The OpenEmbedded build system determines the final size for the generated
                    image using an algorithm that takes into account the initial disk space used
                    for the generated image, a requested size for the image, and requested
                    additional free disk space to be added to the image.
                    Programatically, the build system determines the final size of the
                    generated image as follows:

    if (image-du * overhead) &lt; rootfs-size:

    where:

      image-du = Returned value of the du command on
                 the image.

      overhead = IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR

      rootfs-size = IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE

      internal-rootfs-size = Initial root filesystem
                             size before any modifications.

                <para>Helps define the recipe revision for recipes that share
                    a common <filename>include</filename> file.
                    You can think of this variable as part of the recipe revision
                    as set from within an include file.</para>
                <para>Suppose, for example, you have a set of recipes that
                    are used across several projects.
                    And, within each of those recipes the revision
                    (its <link linkend='var-PR'><filename>PR</filename></link>
                    value) is set accordingly.
                    In this case, when the revision of those recipes changes,
                    the burden is on you to find all those recipes and
                    be sure that they get changed to reflect the updated
                    version of the recipe.
                    In this scenario, it can get complicated when recipes
                    that are used in many places and provide common functionality
                    are upgraded to a new revision.</para>
                <para>A more efficient way of dealing with this situation is
                    to set the <filename>INC_PR</filename> variable inside
                    the <filename>include</filename> files that the recipes
                    share and then expand the <filename>INC_PR</filename>
                    variable within the recipes to help
                    define the recipe revision.
                    </para>
                <para>
                    The following provides an example that shows how to use
                    the <filename>INC_PR</filename> variable
                    given a common <filename>include</filename> file that
                    defines the variable.
                    Once the variable is defined in the
                    <filename>include</filename> file, you can use the
                    variable to set the <filename>PR</filename> values in
                    each recipe.
                    You will notice that when you set a recipe's
                    <filename>PR</filename> you can provide more granular
                    revisioning by appending values to the
                    <filename>INC_PR</filename> variable:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
recipes-graphics/xorg-font/xorg-font-common.inc:INC_PR = "r2"
recipes-graphics/xorg-font/encodings_1.0.4.bb:PR = "${INC_PR}.1"
recipes-graphics/xorg-font/font-util_1.3.0.bb:PR = "${INC_PR}.0"
recipes-graphics/xorg-font/font-alias_1.0.3.bb:PR = "${INC_PR}.3"
                    </literallayout>
                    The first line of the example establishes the baseline
                    revision to be used for all recipes that use the
                    <filename>include</filename> file.
                    The remaining lines in the example are from individual
                    recipes and show how the <filename>PR</filename> value
                    is set.</para>

            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    An environment variable that defines the directory where
                    post installation hooks are installed for the
                    post install environment.
                    This variable is fixed as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ${WORKDIR}/intercept_scripts
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    After installation of a target's root filesystem,
                    post installation scripts, which are essentially bash scripts,
                    are all executed just a single time.
                    Limiting execution of these scripts minimizes installation
                    time that would be lengthened due to  certain packages
                    triggering redundant operations.
                    For example, consider the installation of font packages
                    as a common example.
                    Without limiting the execution of post installation scripts,
                    all font directories would be rescanned to create the
                    cache after each individual font package was installed.

                <para>
                    A regular expression used by the build process to explicitly
                    identify the kernel branch that is validated, patched
                    and configured during a build.
                    The <filename>KBRANCH</filename> variable is optional.
                    You can use it to trigger checks to ensure the exact kernel
                    branch you want is being used by the build process.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Values for this variable are set in the kernel's recipe
                    file and the kernel's append file.
                    For example, if you are using the Yocto Project kernel that
                    is based on the Linux 3.10 kernel, the kernel recipe file
                    is the
                    <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.10.bb</filename>
                    file.
                    Following is the default value for <filename>KBRANCH</filename>
                    and the default override for the architectures the Yocto
                    Project supports:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     KBRANCH_DEFAULT = "standard/base"
     KBRANCH = "${KBRANCH_DEFAULT}"
                    </literallayout>
                    This branch exists in the <filename>linux-yocto-3.10</filename>
                    kernel Git repository
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto-3.10/refs/heads'></ulink>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    This variable is also used from the kernel's append file
                    to identify the kernel branch specific to a particular
                    machine or target hardware.
                    The kernel's append file is located in the BSP layer for
                    a given machine.
                    For example, the kernel append file for the Crown Bay BSP is in the
                    <filename>meta-intel</filename> Git repository and is named
                    <filename>meta-crownbay/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.10.bbappend</filename>.
                    Here are the related statements from the append file:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_crownbay = "crownbay"
     KMACHINE_crownbay = "crownbay"
     KBRANCH_crownbay = "standard/crownbay"
     KERNEL_FEATURES_append_crownbay = " features/drm-emgd/drm-emgd-1.18 cfg/vesafb"

     COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_crownbay-noemgd = "crownbay-noemgd"
     KMACHINE_crownbay-noemgd = "crownbay"
     KBRANCH_crownbay-noemgd = "standard/crownbay"
     KERNEL_FEATURES_append_crownbay-noemgd = " cfg/vesafb"
                    </literallayout>
                        The <filename>KBRANCH_*</filename> statements identify
                        the kernel branch to use when building for the Crown
                        Bay BSP.
                        In this case there are two identical statements: one
                        for each type of Crown Bay machine.

                    The machine as known by the kernel.
                    Sometimes the machine name used by the kernel does not match the machine name
                    used by the OpenEmbedded build system.
                    For example, the machine name that the OpenEmbedded build system understands as
                    <filename>qemuarm</filename> goes by a different name in the Linux Yocto kernel.
                    The kernel understands that machine as <filename>arm_versatile926ejs</filename>.
                    For cases like these, the <filename>KMACHINE</filename> variable maps the
                    kernel machine name to the OpenEmbedded build system machine name.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Kernel machine names are initially defined in the
                    Yocto Linux Kernel's <filename>meta</filename> branch.
                    From the <filename>meta</filename> branch, look in
                    the <filename>meta/cfg/kernel-cache/bsp/&lt;bsp_name&gt;/&lt;bsp-name&gt;-&lt;kernel-type&gt;.scc</filename> file.
                    For example, from the <filename>meta</filename> branch in the
                    <filename>linux-yocto-3.0</filename> kernel, the
                    <filename>meta/cfg/kernel-cache/bsp/cedartrail/cedartrail-standard.scc</filename> file
                    has the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     define KMACHINE cedartrail
     define KTYPE standard
     define KARCH i386

     include ktypes/standard
     branch cedartrail

     include cedartrail.scc
                    </literallayout>
                    You can see that the kernel understands the machine name for
                    the Cedar Trail Board Support Package (BSP) as
                    <filename>cedartrail</filename>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    If you look in the Cedar Trail BSP layer in the
                    <filename>meta-intel</filename>
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-repositories'>Source Repositories</ulink>
                    at <filename>meta-cedartrail/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.0.bbappend</filename>,
                    you will find the following statements among others:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_cedartrail = "cedartrail"
     KMACHINE_cedartrail  = "cedartrail"
     KBRANCH_cedartrail  = "yocto/standard/cedartrail"
     KERNEL_FEATURES_append_cedartrail += "bsp/cedartrail/cedartrail-pvr-merge.scc"
     KERNEL_FEATURES_append_cedartrail += "cfg/efi-ext.scc"

     COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_cedartrail-nopvr = "cedartrail"
     KMACHINE_cedartrail-nopvr  = "cedartrail"
     KBRANCH_cedartrail-nopvr  = "yocto/standard/cedartrail"
     KERNEL_FEATURES_append_cedartrail-nopvr += " cfg/smp.scc"
                    </literallayout>
                    The <filename>KMACHINE</filename> statements in the kernel's append file make sure that
                    the OpenEmbedded build system and the Yocto Linux kernel understand the same machine
                    names.
                </para>

                <para>
                    This append file uses two <filename>KMACHINE</filename> statements.
                    The first is not really necessary but does ensure that the machine known to the
                    OpenEmbedded build system as <filename>cedartrail</filename> maps to the machine
                    in the kernel also known as <filename>cedartrail</filename>:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     KMACHINE_cedartrail  = "cedartrail"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    The second statement is a good example of why the <filename>KMACHINE</filename> variable
                    is needed.
                    In this example, the OpenEmbedded build system uses the <filename>cedartrail-nopvr</filename>
                    machine name to refer to the Cedar Trail BSP that does not support the proprietary
                    PowerVR driver.
                    The kernel, however, uses the machine name <filename>cedartrail</filename>.
                    Thus, the append file must map the <filename>cedartrail-nopvr</filename> machine name to
                    the kernel's <filename>cedartrail</filename> name:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     KMACHINE_cedartrail-nopvr  = "cedartrail"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    BSPs that ship with the Yocto Project release provide all mappings between the Yocto
                    Project kernel machine names and the OpenEmbedded machine names.
                    Be sure to use the <filename>KMACHINE</filename> if you create a BSP and the machine
                    name you use is different than that used in the kernel.

                    The first example is from the recipes for Qt, which the user

                    The second example is from Cairo where two licenses cover

                    The final example is from <filename>sysstat</filename>,

                    You define this variable in the kernel recipe.

                    kernel recipe found in

                    You define this variable in the kernel recipe.
                    For example, the linux-yocto kernel recipes all define

                    A list of recommended machine-specific packages to install as part of
                    the image being built.
                    The build process does not depend on these packages being present.
                    However, because this is a "machine essential" variable, the list of
                    packages are essential for the machine to boot.
                    The impact of this variable affects images based on
                    <filename>packagegroup-core-boot</filename>,
                    including the <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> image.

                    This variable is similar to the

                    variable with the exception that the image being built does not have a build
                    dependency on the variable's list of packages.
                    In other words, the image will still build if a package in this list is not found.
                    Typically, this variable is used to handle essential kernel modules, whose
                    functionality may be selected to be built into the kernel rather than as a module,
                    in which case a package will not be produced.
                </para>
                <para>
                    Consider an example where you have a custom kernel where a specific touchscreen
                    driver is required for the machine to be usable.
                    However, the driver can be built as a module or
                    into the kernel depending on the kernel configuration.
                    If the driver is built as a module, you want it to be installed.
                    But, when the driver is built into the kernel, you still want the
                    build to succeed.
                    This variable sets up a "recommends" relationship so that in the latter case,
                    the build will not fail due to the missing package.
                    To accomplish this, assuming the package for the module was called
                    <filename>kernel-module-ab123</filename>, you would use the
                    following in the machine's <filename>.conf</filename> configuration
                    file:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>

                    The package containing the firmware for the WiFi hardware is always

                <para>
                    By default, the value of this variable is set to

                    when building for the target,

                    build host and "${SDK_ARCH}-${SDKPKGSUFFIX}" when building
                    for the SDK.
                    However, if your recipe's output packages are built
                    specific to the target machine rather than general for
                    the architecture of the machine, you should set
                    <filename>PACKAGE_ARCH</filename> to the value of
                    <link linkend='var-MACHINE_ARCH'><filename>MACHINE_ARCH</filename></link>

                <para>
                    You can provide one or more of the following arguments for
                    the variable:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm package_deb package_ipk package_tar"
                    </literallayout>
                    The build system uses only the first argument in the list
                    as the package manager when creating your image or SDK.
                    However, packages will be created using any additional
                    packaging classes you specify.
                    For example, if you use the following in your
                    <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_ipk package_tar"
                    </literallayout>
                    The OpenEmbedded build system uses the IPK package manager
                    to create your image or SDK as well as generating
                    TAR packages.

                    Files using the <filename>.tar</filename> format cannot
                    be used as a substitute packaging format
                    for DEB, RPM, and IPK formatted files for your image or SDK.

                            directory on the target.
                            For example, if a binary is installed into

                    You can set this variable globally in your
                    <filename>local.conf</filename> file or you can attach it to
                    a specific image recipe by using the recipe name override:

                    If you choose to not install
                    a package using this variable and some other package is
                    dependent on it (i.e. listed in a recipe's
                    <link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'><filename>RDEPENDS</filename></link>
                    variable), the OpenEmbedded build system generates a fatal
                    installation error.
                    Because the build system halts the process with a fatal
                    error, you can use the variable with an iterative
                    development process to remove specific components from a

                <para>
                    Because the package manager controls actual installation
                    of all packages, the list of packages passed using
                    <filename>PACKAGE_INSTALL</filename> is not the final list
                    of packages that are actually installed.
                    This variable is internal to the image construction
                    code.
                    Consequently, in general, you should use the
                    <link linkend='var-IMAGE_INSTALL'><filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename></link>
                    variable to specify packages for installation.
                    The exception to this is when working with
                    the
                    <link linkend='images-core-image-minimal-initramfs'><filename>core-image-minimal-initramfs</filename></link>

                    When working with an initial RAM disk (initramfs)

                    This variable provides a means of enabling or disabling
                    features of a recipe on a per-recipe basis.
                    <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename> blocks are defined
                    in recipes when you specify features and then arguments
                    that define feature behaviors.
                    Here is the basic block structure:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     PACKAGECONFIG ??= "f1 f2 f3 ..."
     PACKAGECONFIG[f1] = "--with-f1,--without-f1,build-deps-f1,rt-deps-f1"
     PACKAGECONFIG[f2] = "--with-f2,--without-f2,build-deps-f2,rt-deps-f2"
     PACKAGECONFIG[f3] = "--with-f3,--without-f3,build-deps-f3,rt-deps-f3"
                    </literallayout>
                    The <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename>
                    variable itself specifies a space-separated list of the
                    features to enable.
                    Following the features, you can determine the behavior of
                    each feature by providing up to four order-dependent
                    arguments, which are separated by commas.
                    You can omit any argument you like but must retain the
                    separating commas.
                    The order is important and specifies the following:
                    <orderedlist>
                        <listitem><para>Extra arguments
                            that should be added to the configure script

                            (<link linkend='var-EXTRA_OECONF'><filename>EXTRA_OECONF</filename></link>)
                            if the feature is enabled.</para></listitem>
                        <listitem><para>Extra arguments

                <para>
                    Consider the following
                    <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename> block taken from the
                    <filename>librsvg</filename> recipe.
                    In this example the feature is <filename>croco</filename>,
                    which has three arguments that determine the feature's
                    behavior.
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     PACKAGECONFIG ??= "croco"
     PACKAGECONFIG[croco] = "--with-croco,--without-croco,libcroco"
                    </literallayout>
                    The <filename>--with-croco</filename> and
                    <filename>libcroco</filename> arguments apply only if
                    the feature is enabled.
                    In this case, <filename>--with-croco</filename> is
                    added to the configure script argument list and
                    <filename>libcroco</filename> is added to
                    <filename><link linkend='var-DEPENDS'>DEPENDS</link></filename>.
                    On the other hand, if the feature is disabled say through
                    a <filename>.bbappend</filename> file in another layer, then
                    the second argument <filename>--without-croco</filename> is
                    added to the configure script rather than
                    <filename>--with-croco</filename>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The basic <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename> structure
                    previously described holds true regardless of whether you
                    are creating a block or changing a block.
                    When creating a block, use the structure inside your
                    recipe.
                </para>

                <para>
                    If you want to change an existing
                    <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename> block, you can do so
                    one of two ways:
                    <itemizedlist>
                        <listitem><para><emphasis>Append file:</emphasis>
                            Create an append file named
                            <replaceable>recipename</replaceable><filename>.bbappend</filename>
                            in your layer and override the value of
                            <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename>.
                            You can either completely override the variable:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     PACKAGECONFIG="f4 f5"
                            </literallayout>
                            Or, you can just append the variable:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     PACKAGECONFIG_append = " f4"
                            </literallayout></para></listitem>
                        <listitem><para><emphasis>Configuration file:</emphasis>
                            This method is identical to changing the block
                            through an append file except you edit your
                            <filename>local.conf</filename> or
                            <filename><replaceable>mydistro</replaceable>.conf</filename> file.
                            As with append files previously described,
                            you can either completely override the variable:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     PACKAGECONFIG_pn-<replaceable>recipename</replaceable>="f4 f5"
                            </literallayout>
                            Or, you can just amend the variable:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-<replaceable>recipename</replaceable> = " f4"

                    splitting of files into individual packages.
                    Recipes can either prepend to this variable or prepend
                    to the <filename>populate_packages</filename> function
                    in order to perform additional package splitting.
                    In either case, the function should set
                    <link linkend='var-PACKAGES'><filename>PACKAGES</filename></link>,

                <para>
                    A promise that your recipe satisfies runtime dependencies
                    for optional modules that are found in other recipes.
                    <filename>PACKAGES_DYNAMIC</filename>
                    does not actually satisfy the dependencies, it only states that
                    they should be satisfied.
                    For example, if a hard, runtime dependency
                    (<link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'><filename>RDEPENDS</filename></link>)
                    of another package is satisfied
                    at build time through the <filename>PACKAGES_DYNAMIC</filename>
                    variable, but a package with the module name is never actually
                    produced, then the other package will be broken.
                    Thus, if you attempt to include that package in an image,
                    you will get a dependency failure from the packaging system
                    during the
                    <link linkend='ref-tasks-rootfs'><filename>do_rootfs</filename></link>
                    task.
                </para>
                <para>
                    Typically, if there is a chance that such a situation can
                    occur and the package that is not created is valid
                    without the dependency being satisfied, then you should use
                    <link linkend='var-RRECOMMENDS'><filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename></link>
                    (a soft runtime dependency) instead of

                <para>
                    For an example of how to use the <filename>PACKAGES_DYNAMIC</filename>

                    If your development host supports multiple cores, a good
                    rule of thumb is to set this variable to twice the number
                    of cores on the host.
                    If you do not set <filename>PARALLEL_MAKE</filename>, it
                    defaults to the number of cores your build system has.
                    <note>
                        Individual recipes might clear out this variable if

                <para>

                    Setting the value to "user" causes the build system to
                    launch a shell and places you in the right location so that

                    The name is normally extracted from the recipe file name.

                    If multiple recipes provide an item, this variable
                    determines which recipe should be given preference.
                    You should always suffix the variable with the name of the

                    <link linkend='var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></link>
                    of the recipe to which you want to give precedence.
                    Some examples:

                    If there are multiple versions of recipes available, this

                    you want to select, and you should set the
                    <link linkend='var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link>
                    accordingly for precedence.
                    You can use the "<filename>%</filename>" character as a
                    wildcard to match any number of characters, which can be
                    useful when specifying versions that contain long revision

                    known.
                    By default, a recipe's own
                    <filename><link linkend='var-PN'>PN</link></filename>
                    is implicitly already in its <filename>PROVIDES</filename>
                    list.
                    If a recipe uses <filename>PROVIDES</filename>, the
                    additional aliases are synonyms for the recipe and can
                    be useful satisfying dependencies of other recipes during
                    the build as specified by
                    <filename><link linkend='var-DEPENDS'>DEPENDS</link></filename>.

                    <filename>expat_2.0.1.bb</filename>, then the default value of <filename>PV</filename>
                    will be "2.0.1".
                    <filename>PV</filename> is generally not overridden within
                    a recipe unless it is building an unstable (i.e. development) version from a source code repository

                   Like all package-controlling variables, you must always use

                   <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "<replaceable>another-conflicting-package-name</replaceable>"

                    BitBake, which the OpenEmbedded build system uses, supports
                    specifying versioned dependencies.
                    Although the syntax varies depending on the packaging
                    format, BitBake hides these differences from you.
                    Here is the general syntax to specify versions with
                    the <filename>RCONFLICTS</filename> variable:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "<replaceable>package</replaceable> (<replaceable>operator</replaceable> <replaceable>version</replaceable>)"
                    </literallayout>
                    For <filename>operator</filename>, you can specify the
                    following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     =
     &lt;
     &gt;
     &lt;=
     &gt;=
                    </literallayout>
                    For example, the following sets up a dependency on version
                    1.2 or greater of the package <filename>foo</filename>:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "foo (>= 1.2)"

            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Lists a package's runtime dependencies (i.e. other packages)
                    that must be installed in order for the built package to run
                    correctly.
                    If a package in this list cannot be found during the build,
                    you will get a build error.
                </para>

                <para>
                    When you use the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable
                    in a recipe, you are essentially stating that the recipe's
                    <link linkend='ref-tasks-build'><filename>do_build</filename></link>
                    task depends on the existence of a specific package.
                    Consider this simple example for two recipes named "a" and
                    "b" that produce similarly named IPK packages.
                    In this example, the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename>
                    statement appears in the "a" recipe:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RDEPENDS_${PN} = "b"
                    </literallayout>
                    Here, the dependency is such that the
                    <filename>do_build</filename> task for recipe "a" depends
                    on the
                    <link linkend='ref-tasks-package_write_ipk'><filename>do_package_write_ipk</filename></link>
                    task of recipe "b".
                    This means the package file for "b" must be available when
                    the output for recipe "a" has been completely built.
                    More importantly, package "a" will be marked as depending
                    on package "b" in a manner that is understood by the
                    package manager.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The names of the packages you list within
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> must be the names of other
                    packages - they cannot be recipe names.
                    Although package names and recipe names usually match,
                    the important point here is that you are
                    providing package names within the
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable.
                    For an example of the default list of packages created from
                    a recipe, see the
                    <link linkend='var-PACKAGES'><filename>PACKAGES</filename></link>
                    variable.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Because the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable applies
                    to packages being built, you should always use the variable
                    in a form with an attached package name.
                    For example, suppose you are building a development package
                    that depends on the <filename>perl</filename> package.
                    In this case, you would use the following
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> statement:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RDEPENDS_${PN}-dev += "perl"
                    </literallayout>
                    In the example, the development package depends on
                    the <filename>perl</filename> package.
                    Thus, the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable has the
                    <filename>${PN}-dev</filename> package name as part of the
                    variable.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The package name you attach to the
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable must appear
                    as it would in the <filename>PACKAGES</filename>
                    namespace before any renaming of the output package by
                    classes like
                    <link linkend='ref-classes-debian'><filename>debian</filename></link>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    In many cases you do not need to explicitly add
                    runtime dependencies using
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> since some automatic
                    handling occurs:

                    BitBake, which the OpenEmbedded build system uses, supports
                    specifying versioned dependencies.
                    Although the syntax varies depending on the packaging
                    format, BitBake hides these differences from you.
                    Here is the general syntax to specify versions with
                    the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RDEPENDS_${PN} = "<replaceable>package</replaceable> (<replaceable>operator</replaceable> <replaceable>version</replaceable>)"
                    </literallayout>
                    For <filename>operator</filename>, you can specify the
                    following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     =
     &lt;
     &gt;
     &lt;=
     &gt;=
                    </literallayout>
                    For example, the following sets up a dependency on version
                    1.2 or greater of the package <filename>foo</filename>:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RDEPENDS_${PN} = "foo (>= 1.2)"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    For information on build-time dependencies, see the
                    <link linkend='var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></link>
                    variable.

                    class, this
                    variable identifies distribution features that must
                    exist in the current configuration in order for the
                    OpenEmbedded build system to build the recipe.
                    In other words, if the
                    <filename>REQUIRED_DISTRO_FEATURES</filename> variable
                    lists a feature that does not appear in
                    <filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename> within the
                    current configuration, an error occurs and the
                    build stops.

                    Defines the root home directory.
                    By default, this directory is set as follows in the
                    BitBake configuration file:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ROOT_HOME ??= "/home/root"
                    </literallayout>
                    <note>
                        This default value is likely used because some
                        embedded solutions prefer to have a read-only root
                        filesystem and prefer to keep writeable data in one
                        place.
                    </note>
                </para>

                <para>
                    You can override the default by setting the variable
                    in any layer or in the <filename>local.conf</filename> file.
                    Because the default is set using a "weak" assignment
                    (i.e. "??="), you can use either of the following forms
                    to define your override:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ROOT_HOME = "/root"
     ROOT_HOME ?= "/root"
                    </literallayout>
                    These override examples use <filename>/root</filename>,
                    which is probably the most commonly used override.

                    The <filename>ROOTFS</filename> variable is an optional

                    If you need to pass the path to the root filesystem within
                    the command, you can use
                    <filename>${IMAGE_ROOTFS}</filename>, which points to
                    the root filesystem image.

                    A list of package name aliases that a package also provides.

                   As with all package-controlling variables, you must always

                    A list of packages that extends the usability of a package
                    being built.
                    The package being built does not depend on this list of
                    packages in order to successfully build, but rather
                    uses them for extended usability.
                    To specify runtime dependencies for packages, see the
                    <filename><link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'>RDEPENDS</link></filename>

                    The package manager will automatically install the
                    <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> list of packages when
                    installing the built package.
                    However, you can prevent listed packages from being
                    installed by using the
                    <link linkend='var-BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS'><filename>BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS</filename></link>,

                    Packages specified in
                    <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> need not actually be
                    produced.
                    However, a recipe must exist that provides each package,
                    either through the
                    <link linkend='var-PACKAGES'><filename>PACKAGES</filename></link>

                    variables or the
                    <link linkend='var-RPROVIDES'><filename>RPROVIDES</filename></link>
                    variable, or an error will occur during the build.
                    If such a recipe does exist and the package is not produced,
                    the build continues without error.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Because the <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> variable
                    applies to packages being built, you should always attach
                    an override to the variable to specify the particular
                    package whose usability is being extended.
                    For example, suppose you are building a development package
                    that is extended to support wireless functionality.
                    In this case, you would use the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RRECOMMENDS_${PN}-dev += "<replaceable>wireless_package_name</replaceable>"
                    </literallayout>
                    In the example, the package name
                    (<filename>${<link linkend='var-PN'>PN</link>}-dev</filename>)
                    must appear as it would in the
                    <filename><link linkend='var-PACKAGES'>PACKAGES</link></filename>
                    namespace before any renaming of the output package by
                    classes such as <filename>debian.bbclass</filename>.

                    BitBake, which the OpenEmbedded build system uses, supports

                    </literallayout>
                    For <filename>operator</filename>, you can specify the

     &lt;=
     &gt;=
                    </literallayout>
                    For example, the following sets up a recommend on version
                    1.2 or greater of the package <filename>foo</filename>:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>

                    In order to also have the other package(s) removed at the

                    Use of this variable is one mechanism to remove dependencies
                    that affect task signatures and thus force rebuilds when a
                    recipe changes.

                        If you add an inappropriate dependency for a recipe
                        relationship, the software might break during
                        runtime if the interface of the second recipe was
                        changed after the first recipe had been built.

                    For example, if the recipe or append file only needs to
                    fetch a tarball from the Internet, the recipe or
                    append file uses a single <filename>SRC_URI</filename>
                    entry.
                    On the other hand, if the recipe or append file needs to
                    fetch a tarball, apply two patches, and include a custom
                    file, the recipe or append file would include four

                    another different system (e.g. cross-canadian recipes).
                    Using terminology from GNU, the primary system is referred
                    to as the "HOST" and the secondary, or different, system is
                    referred to as the "TARGET".
                    Thus, the binaries run on the "HOST" system and
                    and generate binaries for the "TARGET" system.

                    When you specify the IP address, you can also include a

                    Specifying a port is useful when SSH is started on a

                <para>
                    The OpenEmbedded build system provides a core set of tests
                    that can be used against images.
                    <note>
                        Currently, there is only support for running these tests
                        under QEMU.
                    </note>
                    Tests include <filename>ping</filename>,
                    <filename>ssh</filename>, <filename>df</filename> among
                    others.
                    You can add your own tests to the list of tests by
                    appending <filename>TEST_SUITES</filename> as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     TEST_SUITES_append = " <replaceable>mytest</replaceable>"
                    </literallayout>
                    Alternatively, you can provide the "auto" option to
                    have all applicable tests run against the image.
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     TEST_SUITES_append = " auto"
                    </literallayout>
                    Using this option causes the build system to automatically
                    run tests that are applicable to the image.
                    Tests that are not applicable are skipped.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The order in which tests are run is important.
                    Tests that depend on another test must appear later in the

                    For example, if you append the list of tests with two

                    This variable is the base directory the OpenEmbedded
                    build system uses for all build output and intermediate
                    files (other than the shared state cache).
                    By default, the <filename>TMPDIR</filename> variable points
                    to <filename>tmp</filename> within the
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.

                    If you want to establish this directory in a location other
                    than the default, you can uncomment and edit the following
                    statement in the
                    <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> file in the
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>:

     #TMPDIR = "${TOPDIR}/tmp"
                    </literallayout>
                    An example use for this scenario is to set
                    <filename>TMPDIR</filename> to a local disk, which does
                    not use NFS, while having the Build Directory use NFS.

                <para>
                    The filesystem used by <filename>TMPDIR</filename> must
                    have standard filesystem semantics (i.e. mixed-case files
                    are unique, POSIX file locking, and persistent inodes).
                    Due to various issues with NFS and bugs in some
                    implementations, NFS does not meet this minimum
                    requirement.
                    Consequently, <filename>TMPDIR</filename> cannot be on
                    NFS.
