<title>Using the Yocto Project</title>

    <para>
        This chapter describes common usage for the Yocto Project.
        The information is introductory in nature as other manuals in the Yocto Project
        documentation set provide more details on how to use the Yocto Project.
    </para>

<section id='usingpoky-build'>
    <title>Running a Build</title>

    <para>
        This section provides a summary of the build process and provides information
        for less obvious aspects of the build process.
        For general information on how to build an image using the OpenEmbedded build
        system, see the
        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;#qs-building-images'>Building Images</ulink>"
        section of the Yocto Project Quick Start.
    </para>

    <section id='build-overview'>
        <title>Build Overview</title>

        <para>
            In the development environment you will need to build an image whenever you change hardware
            support, add or change system libraries, or add or change services that have dependencies.
        </para>

        <mediaobject>
            <imageobject>
                <imagedata fileref="figures/building-an-image.png" format="PNG" align='center' scalefit='1'/>
            </imageobject>

                <para>Building an Image</para>
            </caption>
        </mediaobject>

        <para>
            The first thing you need to do is set up the OpenEmbedded build
            environment by sourcing an environment setup script
            (i.e.
            <link linkend='structure-core-script'><filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename></link>
            or
            <link linkend='structure-memres-core-script'><filename>oe-init-build-env-memres</filename></link>).
            Here is an example:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source &OE_INIT_FILE; [<replaceable>build_dir</replaceable>]
            </literallayout>
        </para>

        <para>
            The <replaceable>build_dir</replaceable> argument is optional and specifies the directory the
            OpenEmbedded build system uses for the build -
            the <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.
            If you do not specify a Build Directory, it defaults to a directory
            named <filename>build</filename> in your current working directory.
            A common practice is to use a different Build Directory for different targets.
            For example, <filename>~/build/x86</filename> for a <filename>qemux86</filename>
            target, and <filename>~/build/arm</filename> for a <filename>qemuarm</filename> target.
        </para>

        <para>
            Once the build environment is set up, you can build a target using:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ bitbake <replaceable>target</replaceable>
            </literallayout>
        </para>

        <para>
            The <replaceable>target</replaceable> is the name of the recipe you want to build.
            Common targets are the images in <filename>meta/recipes-core/images</filename>,
            <filename>meta/recipes-sato/images</filename>, etc. all found in the
            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
            Or, the target can be the name of a recipe for a specific piece of software such as
            BusyBox.
            For more details about the images the OpenEmbedded build system supports, see the
            "<link linkend="ref-images">Images</link>" chapter.
        </para>

        <note>
            Building an image without GNU General Public License Version
            3 (GPLv3), or similarly licensed, components is supported for
            only minimal and base images.
            See the "<link linkend='ref-images'>Images</link>" chapter for more information.

        <title>Building an Image Using GPL Components</title>

        <para>
            When building an image using GPL components, you need to maintain your original
            settings and not switch back and forth applying different versions of the GNU
            General Public License.
            If you rebuild using different versions of GPL, dependency errors might occur
            due to some components not being rebuilt.

<section id='usingpoky-install'>
    <title>Installing and Using the Result</title>

    <para>
        Once an image has been built, it often needs to be installed.
        The images and kernels built by the OpenEmbedded build system are placed in the
        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink> in
        <filename class="directory">tmp/deploy/images</filename>.
        For information on how to run pre-built images such as <filename>qemux86</filename>
        and <filename>qemuarm</filename>, see the
        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;#sdk-manual'>Yocto Project Software Development Kit (SDK) Developer's Guide</ulink>.
        For information about how to install these images, see the documentation for your
        particular board or machine.

<section id='usingpoky-debugging-tools-and-techniques'>
    <title>Debugging Tools and Techniques</title>

    <para>
        The exact method for debugging build failures depends on the nature of
        the problem and on the system's area from which the bug originates.
        Standard debugging practices such as comparison against the last
        known working version with examination of the changes and the
        re-application of steps to identify the one causing the problem are
        valid for the Yocto Project just as they are for any other system.
        Even though it is impossible to detail every possible potential failure,
        this section provides some general tips to aid in debugging.
    </para>

    <para>
        A useful feature for debugging is the error reporting tool.
        Configuring the Yocto Project to use this tool causes the
        OpenEmbedded build system to produce error reporting commands as
        part of the console output.
        You can enter the commands after the build completes
        to log error information
        into a common database, that can help you figure out what might be
        going wrong.
        For information on how to enable and use this feature, see the
        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#using-the-error-reporting-tool'>Using the Error Reporting Tool</ulink>"
        section in the Yocto Project Development Manual.
    </para>

    <para>
        For discussions on debugging, see the
        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#platdev-gdb-remotedebug'>Debugging With the GNU Project Debugger (GDB) Remotely</ulink>" section
        in the Yocto Project Developer's Manual
        and the
        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;#adt-eclipse'>Working within Eclipse</ulink>"
        section in the Yocto Project Software Development Kit (SDK) Developer's Guide.
    </para>

    <note>
        The remainder of this section presents many examples of the
        <filename>bitbake</filename> command.
        You can learn about BitBake by reading the
        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#bitbake-user-manual'>BitBake User Manual</ulink>.
    </note>

    <section id='usingpoky-debugging-viewing-logs-from-failed-tasks'>
        <title>Viewing Logs from Failed Tasks</title>

        <para>
            You can find the log for a task in the file
            <filename>${</filename><link linkend='var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></link><filename>}/temp/log.do_</filename><replaceable>taskname</replaceable>.
            For example, the log for the
            <link linkend='ref-tasks-compile'><filename>do_compile</filename></link>
            task of the QEMU minimal image for the x86 machine
            (<filename>qemux86</filename>) might be in
            <filename>tmp/work/qemux86-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_compile</filename>.
            To see the commands
            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#bitbake-term'>BitBake</ulink> ran
            to generate a log, look at the corresponding
            <filename>run.do_</filename><replaceable>taskname</replaceable>
            file in the same directory.
        </para>

        <para>
            <filename>log.do_</filename><replaceable>taskname</replaceable> and
            <filename>run.do_</filename><replaceable>taskname</replaceable>
            are actually symbolic links to
            <filename>log.do_</filename><replaceable>taskname</replaceable><filename>.</filename><replaceable>pid</replaceable>
            and
            <filename>log.run_</filename><replaceable>taskname</replaceable><filename>.</filename><replaceable>pid</replaceable>,
            where <replaceable>pid</replaceable> is the PID the task had when
            it ran.
            The symlinks always point to the files corresponding to the most
            recent run.
        </para>
    </section>

    <section id='usingpoky-debugging-viewing-variable-values'>
        <title>Viewing Variable Values</title>
        <para>
            BitBake's <filename>-e</filename> option is used to display
            variable values after parsing.
            The following command displays the variable values after the
            configuration files (i.e. <filename>local.conf</filename>,
            <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>,
            <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> and so forth) have been
            parsed:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ bitbake -e
            </literallayout>
            The following command displays variable values after a specific
            recipe has been parsed.
            The variables include those from the configuration as well:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ bitbake -e recipename
            </literallayout>
            <note><para>
                Each recipe has its own private set of variables (datastore).
                Internally, after parsing the configuration, a copy of the
                resulting datastore is made prior to parsing each recipe.
                This copying implies that variables set in one recipe will
                not be visible to other recipes.</para>

                <para>Likewise, each task within a recipe gets a private
                datastore based on the recipe datastore, which means that
                variables set within one task will not be visible to
                other tasks.</para>
            </note>
        </para>

        <para>
            In the output of <filename>bitbake -e</filename>, each variable is
            preceded by a description of how the variable got its value,
            including temporary values that were later overriden.
            This description also includes variable flags (varflags) set on
            the variable.
            The output can be very helpful during debugging.
        </para>

        <para>
            Variables that are exported to the environment are preceded by
            <filename>export</filename> in the output of
            <filename>bitbake -e</filename>.
            See the following example:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     export CC="i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/home/ulf/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/qemux86"
            </literallayout>
        </para>

        <para>
            In addition to variable values, the output of the
            <filename>bitbake -e</filename> and
            <filename>bitbake -e</filename>&nbsp;<replaceable>recipe</replaceable>
            commands includes the following information:
            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem><para>
                    The output starts with a tree listing all configuration
                    files and classes included globally, recursively listing
                    the files they include or inherit in turn.
                    Much of the behavior of the OpenEmbedded build system
                    (including the behavior of the

                    into BitBake itself.

            Sometimes it can be hard to see why BitBake wants to build other
            recipes before the one you have specified.

            built.

                        DOT files use a plain text format.
                        The graphs generated using the
                        <filename>bitbake -g</filename> command are often so
                        large as to be difficult to read without special

                        <filename>-I</filename> option) and processing.
                        Despite the form and size of the graphs, the
                        corresponding <filename>.dot</filename> files can still
                        be possible to read and provide useful information.

            "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#checksums'>Checksums (Signatures)</ulink>"
            section of the BitBake User Manual, BitBake tries to automatically
            determine what variables a task depends on so that it can rerun
            the task if any values of the variables change.
            This determination is usually reliable.
            However, if you do things like construct variable names at runtime,
            then you might have to manually declare dependencies on those
            variables using <filename>vardeps</filename> as described in the
            "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#variable-flags'>Variable Flags</ulink>"

                    The <filename>sigdata</filename> files contain a pickled
                    Python database of all the metadata that went into creating
                    the input checksum for the task.
                    As an example, for the

                    In the output of the above command, you will find a line

                    This list also includes indirect dependencies from

            <filename>sigdata</filename> files.
            This command can be helpful when trying to figure out what changed
            between two versions of a task.
            If you call <filename>bitbake-diffsigs</filename> with just one

        <para>
            You can also use BitBake to dump out the signature construction
            information without executing tasks by using either of the
            following BitBake command-line options:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     &dash;&dash;dump-signatures=<replaceable>SIGNATURE_HANDLER</replaceable>
     -S <replaceable>SIGNATURE_HANDLER</replaceable>
            </literallayout>
            <note>
                Two common values for
                <replaceable>SIGNATURE_HANDLER</replaceable> are "none" and
                "printdiff", which dump only the signature or compare the
                dumped signature with the cached one, respectively.
            </note>
            Using BitBake with either of these options causes BitBake to dump
            out <filename>sigdata</filename> files in the
            <filename>stamps</filename> directory for every task it would have
            executed instead of building the specified target package.

        <para>
            Any given recipe consists of a set of tasks.
            The standard BitBake behavior in most cases is:
            <filename>do_fetch</filename>,
            <filename>do_unpack</filename>,
            <filename>do_patch</filename>, <filename>do_configure</filename>,

            <filename>do_package</filename>,
            <filename>do_package_write_*</filename>, and
            <filename>do_build</filename>.
            The default task is <filename>do_build</filename> and any tasks
            on which it depends build first.
            Some tasks, such as <filename>do_devshell</filename>, are not part
            of the default build chain.
            If you wish to run a task that is not part of the default build
            chain, you can use the <filename>-c</filename> option in BitBake.
            Here is an example:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c devshell
            </literallayout>
        </para>

        <para>
            If you wish to rerun a task, use the <filename>-f</filename> force
            option.
            For example, the following sequence forces recompilation after
            changing files in the work directory.
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
               .
               .
        <replaceable>make some changes to the source code in the work directory</replaceable>
               .
               .
     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c compile -f
     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
            </literallayout>
        </para>

        <para>
            This sequence first builds and then recompiles
            <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename>.
            The last command reruns all tasks (basically the packaging tasks)
            after the compile.
            BitBake recognizes that the <filename>do_compile</filename>
            task was rerun and therefore understands that the other tasks
            also need to be run again.
        </para>

        <para>
            You can view a list of tasks in a given package by running the
            <filename>do_listtasks</filename> task as follows:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c listtasks
            </literallayout>
            The results appear as output to the console and are also in the
            file <filename>${WORKDIR}/temp/log.do_listtasks</filename>.

        <title>Checking for Missing Build-Time Dependencies</title>

        <para>
            A recipe might build successfully even though some of its
            build-time dependencies are missing from
            <link linkend='var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></link>.
            Following are the two most common ways in which that can happen:
            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem><para>
                    The build-time dependency just happens to already exist in
                    the staging sysroot
                    (<link linkend='var-STAGING_DIR_HOST'><filename>STAGING_DIR_HOST</filename></link>)
                    by the time the recipe is built.
                    This situation occurs when the build-time dependency is
                    built earlier during recipe processing.
                    </para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                    The component built by the recipe conditionally enables
                    functionality depending on whether it can find the
                    build-time dependency in the staging sysroot.
                    If the build-time dependency is missing, the corresponding
                    functionality is disabled.
                    This condition is known as a "floating dependency".
                    </para></listitem>
            </itemizedlist>
        </para>

        <para>
            Because dealing with the second case is more complex, focus will
            be on the first case.
            The
            <link linkend='ref-classes-insane'><filename>build-deps</filename></link>
            QA check checks that every library the component linked against is
            declared as a build-time dependency.
            If that is not the case, then the first situation described in the
            previous list exists, and <filename>build-deps</filename> reports
            a missing build-time dependency.
        </para>

        <para>
            Another, more manual, way to check a recipe for missing build-time
            dependencies of the first type is to build with an empty staging
            sysroot.
            This method can also find missing build-time dependencies
            that are not in the form of libraries, which the
            <filename>build-deps</filename> QA check is unable to find.
        </para>

        <para>
            An easy way to empty the staging sysroots is to simply remove
            <link linkend='var-TMPDIR'><filename>TMPDIR</filename></link>,
            which is usually
            <filename>${</filename><link linkend='var-BUILDDIR'><filename>BUILDDIR</filename></link><filename>}/tmp</filename>,
            as it includes the staging sysroots.
            Another, faster method to empty the staging sysroots is to use the
            <filename>scripts/wipe-sysroot</filename> script,
            which removes just the staging sysroots and keeps everything else
            in <filename>TMPDIR</filename>.
            <note>
                The <filename>scripts/</filename> directory appears in
                <filename>PATH</filename> after running the build environment
                initialization script (i.e.
                <link linkend='structure-core-script'><filename>oe-init-build-env</filename></link>
                or
                <link linkend='structure-memres-core-script'><filename>oe-init-build-env-memres</filename></link>),
                which results in the ability to to run
                <filename>wipe-sysroot</filename> immediately.

                    For example, you do not want references to local system

                    Doing so prevents <filename>psplash</filename> from loading

                    It is also possible to switch out of the splashscreen by
                    switching the virtual console (e.g. Fn+Left or Fn+Right

                        workaround rather than a fix.
                        Consequently, trying to determine the underlying cause
                        of an issue before removing the directory is a good
                        idea.

                    Understanding how a feature is used in practice within
                    existing recipes can be very helpful.
                    It is recommended that you configure some method that
                    allows you to quickly search through files.</para>

                    <para>Using GNU Grep, you can use the following shell
                    function to recursively search through common
                    recipe-related files, skipping binary files,
                    <filename>.git</filename> directories, and the
                    Build Directory (assuming its name starts with
                    "build"):
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     g() {
         grep -Ir \
              --exclude-dir=.git \
              --exclude-dir='build*' \
              --include='*.bb*' \
              --include='*.inc*' \
              --include='*.conf*' \
              --include='*.py*' \
              "$@"
     }
                    </literallayout>
                    Following are some usage examples:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ g FOO    # Search recursively for "FOO"
     $ g -i foo # Search recursively for "foo", ignoring case
     $ g -w FOO # Search recursively for "FOO" as a word, ignoring e.g. "FOOBAR"
                    </literallayout>
                    If figuring out how some feature works requires a lot of
                    searching, it might indicate that the documentation should
                    be extended or improved.
                    In such cases, consider filing a documentation bug using
                    the Yocto Project implementation of

    <title>Maintaining Build Output Quality</title>

    <para>
        Many factors can influence the quality of a build.
        For example, if you upgrade a recipe to use a new version of an upstream software
        package or you experiment with some new configuration options, subtle changes
        can occur that you might not detect until later.
        Consider the case where your recipe is using a newer version of an upstream package.
        In this case, a new version of a piece of software might introduce an optional
        dependency on another library, which is auto-detected.
        If that library has already been built when the software is building,
        the software will link to the built library and that library will be pulled
        into your image along with the new software even if you did not want the
        library.
    </para>

    <para>
        The
        <link linkend='ref-classes-buildhistory'><filename>buildhistory</filename></link>
        class exists to help you maintain
        the quality of your build output.
        You can use the class to highlight unexpected and possibly unwanted
        changes in the build output.
        When you enable build history, it records information about the contents of
        each package and image and then commits that information to a local Git
        repository where you can examine the information.

        <title>Enabling and Disabling Build History</title>

        <para>
            Build history is disabled by default.
            To enable it, add the following <filename>INHERIT</filename>
            statement and set the
            <link linkend='var-BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT'><filename>BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT</filename></link>
            variable to "1" at the end of your
            <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> file found in the
            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     INHERIT += "buildhistory"
     BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT = "1"
            </literallayout>
            Enabling build history as previously described
            causes the build process to collect build
            output information and commit it to a local
            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#git'>Git</ulink> repository.
            <note>
                Enabling build history increases your build times slightly,
                particularly for images, and increases the amount of disk
                space used during the build.
            </note>
        </para>

        <para>
            You can disable build history by removing the previous statements
            from your <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> file.

        <para>
            At the top level, there is a <filename>metadata-revs</filename> file

            The rest of the data splits into separate

                name-value pairs with information about the package.
                For example, <filename>buildhistory/packages/i586-poky-linux/busybox/busybox/latest</filename>
                contains the following:
                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     PV = 1.22.1

                Most of these name-value pairs correspond to variables used
                to produce the package.
                The exceptions are <filename>FILELIST</filename>, which is the

                in the package in bytes.
            </para>

            <para>
                There is also a file corresponding to the recipe from which the

                Finally, for those recipes fetched from a version control
                system (e.g., Git), a file exists that lists source revisions
                that are specified in the recipe and lists the actual revisions
                used during the build.
                Listed and actual revisions might differ when
                <link linkend='var-SRCREV'><filename>SRCREV</filename></link>

                You can use the <filename>buildhistory-collect-srcrevs</filename>

                collect the stored <filename>SRCREV</filename> values
                from build history and report them in a format suitable for
                use in global configuration (e.g.,
                <filename>local.conf</filename> or a distro include file) to

            <para>
                As you can see, build history produces image information,
                including dependency graphs, so you can see why something
                was pulled into the image.

                you can enable writing only image information without
                any history by adding the following to your

    <title>Speeding Up the Build</title>

    <para>
        Build time can be an issue.
        By default, the build system uses simple controls to try and maximize
        build efficiency.
        In general, the default settings for all the following variables
        result in the most efficient build times when dealing with single
        socket systems (i.e. a single CPU).
        If you have multiple CPUs, you might try increasing the default
        values to gain more speed.

        As mentioned, these variables all scale to the number of processor
        cores available on the build system.
        For single socket systems, this auto-scaling ensures that the build
        system fundamentally takes advantage of potential parallel operations
        during the build based on the build machine's capabilities.

                the need to write to the disk, thus increasing the build
                performance.

                Choosing the packaging backend:
                Of the available packaging backends, IPK is the fastest.
                Additionally, selecting a singular packaging backend also
                helps.

                While this can help speed up the build, the benefits are
                limited due to the compiler using
                <filename>-pipe</filename>.
                The build system goes to some lengths to avoid
                <filename>sync()</filename> calls into the
                file system on the principle that if there was a significant
                failure, the
                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>
                contents could easily be rebuilt.

                Inheriting the
                <link linkend='ref-classes-rm-work'><filename>rm_work</filename></link>
                class:
                Inheriting this class has shown to speed up builds due to
                significantly lower amounts of data stored in the data
                cache as well as on disk.
                Inheriting this class also makes cleanup of
                <link linkend='var-TMPDIR'><filename>TMPDIR</filename></link>
                faster, at the expense of being easily able to dive into the
                source code.
                File system maintainers have recommended that the fastest way
                to clean up large numbers of files is to reformat partitions
                rather than delete files due to the linear nature of partitions.
                This, of course, assumes you structure the disk partitions and
                file systems in a way that this is practical.

        Aside from the previous list, you should keep some trade offs in
        mind that can help you speed up the build:
        <itemizedlist>
            <listitem><para>
                Remove items from
                <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename></link>
                that you might not need.
                </para></listitem>
            <listitem><para>
                Exclude debug symbols and other debug information:
                If you do not need these symbols and other debug information,
                disabling the <filename>*-dbg</filename> package generation
                can speed up the build.
                You can disable this generation by setting the
                <link linkend='var-INHIBIT_PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT'><filename>INHIBIT_PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT</filename></link>
                variable to "1".

                Disable static library generation for recipes derived from
                <filename>autoconf</filename> or <filename>libtool</filename>:
                Following is an example showing how to disable static
                libraries and still provide an override to handle exceptions:
                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     STATICLIBCONF = "--disable-static"
     STATICLIBCONF_sqlite3-native = ""
     EXTRA_OECONF += "${STATICLIBCONF}"
                </literallayout>
                <note><title>Notes</title>
                    <itemizedlist>
                        <listitem><para>
                            Some recipes need static libraries in order to work
                            correctly (e.g. <filename>pseudo-native</filename>
                            needs <filename>sqlite3-native</filename>).
                            Overrides, as in the previous example, account for
                            these kinds of exceptions.
                            </para></listitem>
                        <listitem><para>
                            Some packages have packaging code that assumes the
                            presence of the static libraries.
                            If so, you might need to exclude them as well.
                            </para></listitem>
