+# This is a single Makefile to handle all generated Yocto Project documents.
+# The Makefile needs to live in the documents directory and all figures used
+# in any manuals must be .PNG files and live in the individual book's figures
+# directory as well as in the figures directory for the mega-manual.
+# Note that the figures for the Yocto Project Development Manual
+# differ depending on the BRANCH being built.
+#
+# The Makefile has these targets:
+#
+#    pdf:      generates a PDF version of a manual.  Not valid for the Quick Start
+#              or the mega-manual (single, large HTML file comprised of all
+#              Yocto Project manuals).
+#    html:     generates an HTML version of a manual.
+#    eclipse:  generates an HTML version of a manual that can be used as
+#              eclipse help (including necessary metadata files).
+#    tarball:  creates a tarball for the doc files.
+#    validate: validates
+#    publish:  pushes generated files to the Yocto Project website
+#    clean:    removes files
+#
+# The Makefile generates an HTML and PDF version of every document except the
+# Yocto Project Quick Start and the single, HTML mega-manual, which is comprised
+# of all the individual Yocto Project manuals.  These two manuals are in HTML
+# form only.  The variable DOC indicates the folder name for a given manual. The
+# variable VER represents the distro version of the Yocto Release for which the
+# manuals are being generated.  The variable BRANCH is used to indicate the
+# branch (edison or denzil) and is used only when DOC=dev-manual or
+# DOC=mega-manual.  If you do not specify a BRANCH, the default branch used
+# will be for the latest Yocto Project release.  If you build for either
+# edison or denzil, you must use BRANCH. You do not need to use BRANCH for
+# any release beyond denzil.
+#
+# To build a manual, you must invoke Makefile with the DOC argument.  If you
+# are going to publish the manual, then you must invoke Makefile with both the
+# DOC and the VER argument.  Furthermore, if you are building or publishing
+# the edison or denzil versions of the Yocto Poject Development Manual or
+# the mega-manual, you must also use the BRANCH argument.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+#     make DOC=bsp-guide
+#     make DOC=yocto-project-qs
+#     make pdf DOC=ref-manual
+#     make DOC=dev-manual BRANCH=edison
+#     make DOC=mega-manual BRANCH=denzil
+#
+# The first example generates the HTML and PDF versions of the BSP Guide.
+# The second example generates the HTML version only of the Quick Start.  Note that
+# the Quick Start only has an HTML version available.  The third example generates
+# both the PDF and HTML versions of the Yocto Project Reference Manual. The
+# fourth example generates both the PDF and HTML 'edison' versions of the YP
+# Development Manual.  The last exmample generates the HTML version of the
+# mega-manual and uses the 'denzil' branch when choosing figures for the
+# tarball of figures.  Any example that does not use the BRANCH argument
+# builds the current version of the manual set.
+#
+# Use the publish target to push the generated manuals to the Yocto Project
+# website.  All files needed for the manual's HTML form are pushed as well as the
+# PDF version (if applicable).
+# Examples:
+#
+#    make publish DOC=bsp-guide VER=1.3
+#    make publish DOC=adt-manual VER=1.3
+#    make publish DOC=dev-manual VER=1.1.1 BRANCH=edison
+#    make publish DOC=dev-manual VER=1.2 BRANCH=denzil
+#
+# The first example publishes the 1.3 version of both the PDF and HTML versions of
+# the BSP Guide.  The second example publishes the 1.3 version of both the PDF and
+# HTML versions of the ADT Manual. The third example publishes the PDF and HTML
+# 'edison' versions of the YP Development Manual.  The fourth example publishes
+# the PDF and HTML 'denzil' versions of the YP Development Manual.

+documentation
+=============
+
+This is the directory that contains the Yocto Project documentation.  The Yocto
+Project source repositories at http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi have two
+instances of the "documentation" directory.  You should understand each of
+these instances.
+
+  poky/documentation - The directory within the poky Git repository containing
+                       the set of Yocto Project manuals.  When you clone the
+                       poky Git repository, the documentation directory
+                       contains the manuals.  The state of the manuals in this
+                       directory is guaranteed to reflect the latest Yocto
+                       Project release.  The manuals at the tip of this
+                       directory will also likely contain most manual
+                       development changes.
+
+  yocto-docs/documentation - The Git repository for the Yocto Project manuals.
+                             This repository is where manual development
+                             occurs.  If you plan on contributing back to the
+                             Yocto Project documentation, you should set up
+                             a local Git repository based on this upstream
+                             repository as follows:
+
+                               git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-docs
+
+                             Changes and patches are first pushed to the
+                             yocto-docs Git repository.  Later, they make it
+                             into the poky Git repository found at
+                             git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.
+
+Manual Organization
+===================
+
+Folders exist for individual manuals as follows:
+
+* adt-manual       - The Yocto Project Application Developer's Guide.
+* bsp-guide        - The Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide
+* dev-manual       - The Yocto Project Development Manual
+* kernel-dev       - The Yocto Project Linux Kernel Development Manual
+* ref-manual       - The Yocto Project Reference Manual
+* yocto-project-qs - The Yocto Project Quick Start
+* mega-manual      - An aggregated manual comprised of all YP manuals and guides
+* profile-manual   - The Yocto Project Profile and Tracing Manual
+
+Each folder is self-contained regarding content and figures.  Note that there
+is a sed file needed to process the links of the mega-manual.  The sed file
+is located in the tools directory.  Also note that the figures folder in the
+mega-manual directory contains duplicates of all the figures in the YP folders
+directories for all YP manuals and guides.
+
+If you want to find HTML versions of the Yocto Project manuals on the web,
+go to http://www.yoctoproject.org and click on the "Documentation" tab.  From
+there you have access to archived documentation from previous releases, current
+documentation for the latest release, and "Docs in Progress" for the release
+currently being developed.
+
+In general, the Yocto Project site (http://www.yoctoproject.org) is a great
+reference for both information and downloads.
+
+Makefile
+========
+
+The Makefile processes manual directories to create HTML, PDF,
+tarballs, etc.  Details on how the Makefile work are documented
+inside the Makefile.  See that file for more information.
+
+To build a manual, you run the make command and pass it the name
+of the folder containing the manual's contents.
+For example, the following command run from the documentation directory
+creates an HTML and a PDF version of the ADT manual.
+The DOC variable specifies the manual you are making:
+
+     $ make DOC=adt-manual
+
+poky.ent
+========
+
+This file defines variables used for documentation production.  The variables
+are used to define release pathnames, URLs for the published manuals, etc.
+
+template
+========
+Contains various templates, fonts, and some old PNG files.
+
+tools
+=====
+Contains a tool to convert the DocBook files to PDF format.  This folder also
+contains the mega-manual.sed file, which is used by Makefile to process
+cross-references from within the manual that normally go to an external
+manual.

+<title>Using the Command Line</title>
+
+    <para>
+        Recall that earlier the manual discussed how to use an existing toolchain
+        tarball that had been installed into the default installation
+        directory, <filename>/opt/poky/&DISTRO;</filename>, which is outside of the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>
+        (see the section "<link linkend='using-an-existing-toolchain-tarball'>Using a Cross-Toolchain Tarball)</link>".
+        And, that sourcing your architecture-specific environment setup script
+        initializes a suitable cross-toolchain development environment.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        During this setup, locations for the compiler, QEMU scripts, QEMU binary,
+        a special version of <filename>pkgconfig</filename> and other useful
+        utilities are added to the <filename>PATH</filename> variable.
+        Also, variables to assist
+        <filename>pkgconfig</filename> and <filename>autotools</filename>
+        are also defined so that, for example, <filename>configure.sh</filename>
+        can find pre-generated test results for tests that need target hardware
+        on which to run.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Collectively, these conditions allow you to easily use the toolchain
+        outside of the OpenEmbedded build environment on both autotools-based
+        projects and Makefile-based projects.
+        This chapter provides information for both these types of projects.

+<title>Autotools-Based Projects</title>
+
+    <para>
+        Once you have a suitable cross-toolchain installed, it is very easy to
+        develop a project outside of the OpenEmbedded build system.
+        This section presents a simple "Helloworld" example that shows how
+        to set up, compile, and run the project.

+                    was installed.
+                    Before you can use the tools to develop your project, you must
+                    source this setup script.
+                    The script begins with the string "environment-setup" and contains

+        <title>Passing Host Options</title>
+
+        <para>
+            For an Autotools-based project, you can use the cross-toolchain by just
+            passing the appropriate host option to <filename>configure.sh</filename>.
+            The host option you use is derived from the name of the environment setup
+            script found in the directory in which you installed the cross-toolchain.
+            For example, the host option for an ARM-based target that uses the GNU EABI
+            is <filename>armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
+            You will notice that the name of the script is
+            <filename>environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
+            Thus, the following command works:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ ./configure --host=armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi \
+        --with-libtool-sysroot=&lt;sysroot-dir&gt;
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            This single command updates your project and rebuilds it using the appropriate
+            cross-toolchain tools.
+            <note>
+                If <filename>configure</filename> script results in problems recognizing the
+                <filename>--with-libtool-sysroot=&lt;sysroot-dir&gt;</filename> option,
+                regenerate the script to enable the support by doing the following and then
+                run the script again:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ libtoolize --automake
+     $ aclocal -I ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/share/aclocal \
+        [-I &lt;dir_containing_your_project-specific_m4_macros&gt;]

+
+<para>
+    The Yocto Project provides an application development environment based on
+    an Application Development Toolkit (ADT) and the availability of stand-alone
+    cross-development toolchains and other tools.
+    This manual describes the ADT and how you can configure and install it,
+    how to access and use the cross-development toolchains, how to
+    customize the development packages installation,
+    how to use command line development for both Autotools-based and Makefile-based projects,
+    and an introduction to the <trademark class='trade'>Eclipse</trademark> IDE
+    Yocto Plug-in.
+    <note>
+        The ADT is distribution-neutral and does not require the Yocto
+        Project reference distribution, which is called Poky.
+        This manual, however, uses examples that use the Poky distribution.

+            The Eclipse IDE is a popular development environment and it fully supports

+            When you install and configure the Eclipse Yocto Project Plug-in into
+            the Eclipse IDE, you maximize your Yocto Project experience.
+            Installing and configuring the Plug-in results in an environment that
+            has extensions specifically designed to let you more easily develop software.
+            These extensions allow for cross-compilation, deployment, and execution of
+            your output into a QEMU emulation session.
+            You can also perform cross-debugging and profiling.
+            The environment also supports a suite of tools that allows you to perform
+            remote profiling, tracing, collection of power data, collection of
+            latency data, and collection of performance data.

+<title>Optionally Customizing the Development Packages Installation</title>
+
+    <para>
+        Because the Yocto Project is suited for embedded Linux development, it is
+        likely that you will need to customize your development packages installation.
+        For example, if you are developing a minimal image, then you might not need
+        certain packages (e.g. graphics support packages).
+        Thus, you would like to be able to remove those packages from your target sysroot.
+    </para>
+
+<section id='package-management-systems'>
+    <title>Package Management Systems</title>
+
+    <para>
+        The OpenEmbedded build system supports the generation of sysroot files using
+        three different Package Management Systems (PMS):
+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem><para><emphasis>OPKG:</emphasis> A less well known PMS whose use
+                originated in the OpenEmbedded and OpenWrt embedded Linux projects.
+                This PMS works with files packaged in an <filename>.ipk</filename> format.
+                See <ulink url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opkg'></ulink> for more
+                information about OPKG.</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para><emphasis>RPM:</emphasis> A more widely known PMS intended for GNU/Linux
+                distributions.
+                This PMS works with files packaged in an <filename>.rms</filename> format.
+                The build system currently installs through this PMS by default.
+                See <ulink url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager'></ulink>
+                for more information about RPM.</para></listitem>

+                is built on many PMS tools.

+    <title>Configuring the PMS</title>
+
+    <para>
+        Whichever PMS you are using, you need to be sure that the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGE_CLASSES'><filename>PACKAGE_CLASSES</filename></ulink>
+        variable in the <filename>conf/local.conf</filename>
+        file is set to reflect that system.
+        The first value you choose for the variable specifies the package file format for the root
+        filesystem at sysroot.
+        Additional values specify additional formats for convenience or testing.
+        See the configuration file for details.
+    </para>
+
+    <note>
+        For build performance information related to the PMS, see the
+        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-package'>Packaging - <filename>package*.bbclass</filename></ulink>" 
+        section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
+    </note>
+
+    <para>
+        As an example, consider a scenario where you are using OPKG and you want to add
+        the <filename>libglade</filename> package to the target sysroot.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        First, you should generate the <filename>ipk</filename> file for the
+        <filename>libglade</filename> package and add it
+        into a working <filename>opkg</filename> repository.
+        Use these commands:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake libglade
+     $ bitbake package-index
+        </literallayout>
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Next, source the environment setup script found in the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
+        Follow that by setting up the installation destination to point to your
+        sysroot as <filename>&lt;sysroot_dir&gt;</filename>.
+        Finally, have an OPKG configuration file <filename>&lt;conf_file&gt;</filename>
+        that corresponds to the <filename>opkg</filename> repository you have just created.
+        The following command forms should now work:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ opkg-cl –f &lt;conf_file&gt; -o &lt;sysroot_dir&gt; update
+     $ opkg-cl –f &lt;cconf_file&gt; -o &lt;sysroot_dir&gt; \
+        --force-overwrite install libglade
+     $ opkg-cl –f &lt;cconf_file&gt; -o &lt;sysroot_dir&gt; \
+        --force-overwrite install libglade-dbg
+     $ opkg-cl –f &lt;conf_file&gt; -o &lt;sysroot_dir&gt; \
+        --force-overwrite install libglade-dev
+        </literallayout>

+                This method is the recommended way to install the ADT because it
+                automates much of the process for you.
+                For example, you can configure the installation to install the QEMU emulator
+                and the user-space NFS, specify which root filesystem profiles to download,
+                and define the target sysroot location.</para></listitem>

+                Using this method, you select and download an architecture-specific
+                toolchain installer and then run the script to hand-install the toolchain.
+                If you use this method, you just get the cross-toolchain and QEMU - you do not

+                you can build the cross-toolchain within the directory.
+                However, like the previous method mentioned, you only get the cross-toolchain and QEMU - you
+                do not get any of the other benefits without taking separate steps.</para></listitem>

+            building or using one of the Yocto Project development images
+            (e.g. <filename>core-image-*-dev</filename>), you must be sure to
+            include the development packages as part of your image recipe.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Furthermore, if you plan on remotely deploying and debugging your
+            application from within the
+            Eclipse IDE, you must have an image that contains the Yocto Target Communication
+            Framework (TCF) agent (<filename>tcf-agent</filename>).
+            By default, the Yocto Project provides only one type of pre-built
+            image that contains the <filename>tcf-agent</filename>.
+            And, those images are SDK (e.g.<filename>core-image-sato-sdk</filename>).
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            If you want to use a different image type that contains the <filename>tcf-agent</filename>,
+            you can do so one of two ways:
+            <itemizedlist>
+                <listitem><para>Modify the <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> configuration in

+                    and then rebuild the image.
+                    With this method, you need to modify the
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES'><filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename></ulink>
+                    variable to have the value of "tools-debug" before rebuilding the image.
+                    Once the image is rebuilt, the <filename>tcf-agent</filename> will be included
+                    in the image and is launched automatically after the boot.</para></listitem>

+
+        <para>
+            If you install your toolchain by hand or build it using BitBake and
+            you need a root filesystem, you need to extract it separately.
+            If you use the ADT Installer to install the ADT, the root
+            filesystem is automatically extracted and installed.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Here are some cases where you need to extract the root filesystem:

+            </itemizedlist>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To extract the root filesystem, first <filename>source</filename>
+            the cross-development environment setup script.
+            If you built the toolchain in the Build Directory, you will find
+            the toolchain environment script in the
+            <filename>tmp</filename> directory.
+            If you installed the toolchain by hand, the environment setup
+            script is located in <filename>/opt/poky/&DISTRO;</filename>.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            After sourcing the environment script, use the
+            <filename>runqemu-extract-sdk</filename> command and provide the
+            filesystem image.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Following is an example.
+            The second command sets up the environment.
+            In this case, the setup script is located in the
+            <filename>/opt/poky/&DISTRO;</filename> directory.
+            The third command extracts the root filesystem from a previously
+            built filesystem that is located in the
+            <filename>~/Downloads</filename> directory.
+            Furthermore, this command extracts the root filesystem into the
+            <filename>qemux86-sato</filename> directory:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd ~

+            </literallayout>
+            You could now point to the target sysroot at

+
+    <para>
+        As an alternative to locating and downloading a toolchain installer,
+        you can build the toolchain installer one of two ways if you have a
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>:
+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem><para>Use <filename>bitbake meta-toolchain</filename>.
+                This method requires you to still install the target
+                sysroot by installing and extracting it separately.
+                For information on how to install the sysroot, see the
+                "<link linkend='extracting-the-root-filesystem'>Extracting the Root Filesystem</link>"

+            <listitem><para>Use
+                <filename>bitbake image -c populate_sdk</filename>.
+                This method has significant advantages over the previous method
+                because it results in a toolchain installer that contains the
+                sysroot that matches your target root filesystem.
+                </para></listitem>
+        </itemizedlist>
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+         Remember, before using any BitBake command, you
+         must source the build environment setup script
+         (i.e.
+         <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#structure-core-script'><filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename></ulink>
+         or
+         <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#structure-memres-core-script'><filename>oe-init-build-env-memres</filename></ulink>)
+         located in the Source Directory and you must make sure your
+         <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> variables are correct.
+         In particular, you need to be sure the
+         <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></ulink>
+         variable matches the architecture for which you are building and that
+         the
+         <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDKMACHINE'><filename>SDKMACHINE</filename></ulink>
+         variable is correctly set if you are building a toolchain designed to
+         run on an architecture that differs from your current development host
+         machine (i.e. the build machine).
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        When the BitBake command completes, the toolchain installer will be in
+        <filename>tmp/deploy/sdk</filename> in the Build Directory.
+        <note>
+            By default, this toolchain does not build static binaries.
+            If you want to use the toolchain to build these types of libraries,
+            you need to be sure your image has the appropriate static
+            development libraries.
+            Use the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'><filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename></ulink>
+            variable inside your <filename>local.conf</filename> file to
+            install the appropriate library packages.
+            Following is an example using <filename>eglibc</filename> static
+            development libraries:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+   Generic XHTML / DocBook XHTML CSS Stylesheet.
+   
+   Browser wrangling and typographic design by
+      Oyvind Kolas / pippin@gimp.org
+
+   Customised for Poky by
+      Matthew Allum / mallum@o-hand.com
+
+   Thanks to:
+     Liam R. E. Quin
+     William Skaggs
+     Jakub Steiner
+
+   Structure
+   ---------
+
+   The stylesheet is divided into the following sections:
+
+       Positioning
+          Margins, paddings, width, font-size, clearing.
+       Decorations
+          Borders, style
+       Colors
+          Colors
+       Graphics
+          Graphical backgrounds
+       Nasty IE tweaks
+          Workarounds needed to make it work in internet explorer,
+          currently makes the stylesheet non validating, but up until
+          this point it is validating.
+       Mozilla extensions
+          Transparency for footer

+        <title>Board Support Packages (BSP) - Developer's Guide</title>
+
+        <para>
+            A Board Support Package (BSP) is a collection of information that
+            defines how to support a particular hardware device, set of devices, or
+            hardware platform.
+            The BSP includes information about the hardware features
+            present on the device and kernel configuration information along with any
+            additional hardware drivers required.
+            The BSP also lists any additional software
+            components required in addition to a generic Linux software stack for both
+            essential and optional platform features.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            This guide presents information about BSP Layers, defines a structure for components
+            so that BSPs follow a commonly understood layout, discusses how to customize
+            a recipe for a BSP, addresses BSP licensing, and provides information that
+            shows you how to create and manage a

+            <title>BSP Layers</title>
+
+            <para>
+                The BSP consists of a file structure inside a base directory.
+                Collectively, you can think of the base directory and the file structure
+                as a BSP Layer.
+                Although not a strict requirement, layers in the Yocto Project use the
+                following well established naming convention:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     meta-&lt;bsp_name&gt;
+                </literallayout>
+                The string "meta-" is prepended to the machine or platform name, which is
+                "bsp_name" in the above form.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The layer's base directory (<filename>meta-&lt;bsp_name&gt;</filename>) is the root
+                of the BSP Layer.
+                This root is what you add to the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BBLAYERS'><filename>BBLAYERS</filename></ulink>
+                variable in the <filename>conf/bblayers.conf</filename> file found in the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.
+                Adding the root allows the OpenEmbedded build system to recognize the BSP
+                definition and from it build an image.
+                Here is an example:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     BBLAYERS ?= " \
+       /usr/local/src/yocto/meta \
+       /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-yocto \
+       /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-yocto-bsp \
+       /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-mylayer \
+       "
+
+     BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE ?= " \
+       /usr/local/src/yocto/meta \
+       /usr/local/src/yocto/meta-yocto \
+       "
+                </literallayout>
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Some BSPs require additional layers on
+                top of the BSP's root layer in order to be functional.
+                For these cases, you also need to add those layers to the
+                <filename>BBLAYERS</filename> variable in order to build the BSP.
+                You must also specify in the "Dependencies" section of the BSP's
+                <filename>README</filename> file any requirements for additional
+                layers and, preferably, any
+                build instructions that might be contained elsewhere
+                in the <filename>README</filename> file.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Some layers function as a layer to hold other BSP layers.
+                An example of this type of layer is the <filename>meta-intel</filename> layer.
+                The <filename>meta-intel</filename> layer contains over 10 individual BSP layers.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                For more detailed information on layers, see the
+                "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#understanding-and-creating-layers'>Understanding and Creating Layers</ulink>"

+            <para>
+                Providing a common form allows end-users to understand and become familiar
+                with the layout.
+                A common format also encourages standardization of software support of hardware.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The proposed form does have elements that are specific to the
+                OpenEmbedded build system.
+                It is intended that this information can be
+                used by other build systems besides the OpenEmbedded build system
+                and that it will be simple
+                to extract information and convert it to other formats if required.
+                The OpenEmbedded build system, through its standard layers mechanism, can directly
+                accept the format described as a layer.
+                The BSP captures all
+                the hardware-specific details in one place in a standard format, which is
+                useful for any person wishing to use the hardware platform regardless of
+                the build system they are using.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The BSP specification does not include a build system or other tools -
+                it is concerned with the hardware-specific components only.
+                At the end-distribution point, you can ship the BSP combined with a build system
+                and other tools.
+                However, it is important to maintain the distinction that these
+                are separate components that happen to be combined in certain end products.
+            </para>
+

+                Before looking at the common form for the file structure inside a BSP Layer,
+                you should be aware that some requirements do exist in order for a BSP to
+                be considered compliant with the Yocto Project.
+                For that list of requirements, see the
+                "<link linkend='released-bsp-requirements'>Released BSP Requirements</link>"

+                Below is the common form for the file structure inside a BSP Layer.
+                While you can use this basic form for the standard, realize that the actual structures
+                for specific BSPs could differ.

+                One thing missing in this particular BSP, which you will typically need when
+                developing a BSP, is the kernel configuration file (<filename>.config</filename>) for your BSP.
+                When developing a BSP, you probably have a kernel configuration file or a set of kernel
+                configuration files that, when taken together, define the kernel configuration for your BSP.
+                You can accomplish this definition by putting the configurations in a file or a set of files
+                inside a directory located at the same level as your kernel's append file and having the same
+                name as the kernel's main recipe file.
+                With all these conditions met, simply reference those files in a
+                <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement in the append file.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                For example, suppose you had some configuration options in a file called
+                <filename>network_configs.cfg</filename>.
+                You can place that file inside a directory named <filename>linux-yocto</filename> and then add
+                a <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement such as the following to the append file.
+                When the OpenEmbedded build system builds the kernel, the configuration options are
+                picked up and applied.
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+
+            <para>
+                To group related configurations into multiple files, you perform a similar procedure.
+                Here is an example that groups separate configurations specifically for Ethernet and graphics
+                into their own files and adds the configurations
+                by using a <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement like the following in your append file:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     SRC_URI += "file://myconfig.cfg \
+            file://eth.cfg \

+                variable is in boilerplate form in the
+                previous example in order to make it easy to do that.
+                This variable must be in your layer or BitBake will not find the patches or
+                configurations even if you have them in your <filename>SRC_URI</filename>.
+                The <filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename> variable enables the build process to
+                find those configuration files.
+            </para>
+
+            <note>
+                <para>
+                    Other methods exist to accomplish grouping and defining configuration options.
+                    For example, if you are working with a local clone of the kernel repository,
+                    you could checkout the kernel's <filename>meta</filename> branch, make your changes,
+                    and then push the changes to the local bare clone of the kernel.
+                    The result is that you directly add configuration options to the
+                    <filename>meta</filename> branch for your BSP.
+                    The configuration options will likely end up in that location anyway if the BSP gets
+                    added to the Yocto Project.
+                </para>
+
+                <para>
+                    In general, however, the Yocto Project maintainers take care of moving the
+                    <filename>SRC_URI</filename>-specified
+                    configuration options to the kernel's <filename>meta</filename> branch.
+                    Not only is it easier for BSP developers to not have to worry about putting those
+                   configurations in the branch, but having the maintainers do it allows them to apply
+                    'global' knowledge about the kinds of common configuration options multiple BSPs in
+                    the tree are typically using.
+                    This allows for promotion of common configurations into common features.

+                In some cases, a BSP contains separately licensed Intellectual Property (IP)
+                for a component or components.
+                For these cases, you are required to accept the terms of a commercial or other
+                type of license that requires some kind of explicit End User License Agreement (EULA).
+                Once the license is accepted, the OpenEmbedded build system can then build and
+                include the corresponding component in the final BSP image.
+                If the BSP is available as a pre-built image, you can download the image after
+                agreeing to the license or EULA.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                You could find that some separately licensed components that are essential
+                for normal operation of the system might not have an unencumbered (or free)
+                substitute.
+                Without these essential components, the system would be non-functional.
+                Then again, you might find that other licensed components that are simply
+                'good-to-have' or purely elective do have an unencumbered, free replacement
+                component that you can use rather than agreeing to the separately licensed component.
+                Even for components essential to the system, you might find an unencumbered component
+                that is not identical but will work as a less-capable version of the
+                licensed version in the BSP recipe.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>

+                makes available de-featured BSPs
+                that are completely free of any IP encumbrances.
+                For these cases, you can use the substitution directly and
+                without any further licensing requirements.
+                If present, these fully de-featured BSPs are named appropriately
+                different as compared to the names of the respective

+                If available, these substitutions are your
+                simplest and most preferred options.

+     SYNOPSIS
+         yocto-bsp create &lt;bsp-name&gt; &lt;karch&gt; [-o &lt;DIRNAME&gt; | --outdir &lt;DIRNAME&gt;]
+             [-i &lt;JSON PROPERTY FILE&gt; | --infile &lt;JSON PROPERTY_FILE&gt;]
+
+     DESCRIPTION
+         This command creates a Yocto BSP based on the specified
+         parameters.  The new BSP will be a new Yocto BSP layer contained
+         by default within the top-level directory specified as
+         'meta-bsp-name'.  The -o option can be used to place the BSP layer
+         in a directory with a different name and location.
+
+         The value of the 'karch' parameter determines the set of files
+         that will be generated for the BSP, along with the specific set of
+         'properties' that will be used to fill out the BSP-specific
+         portions of the BSP.  The possible values for the 'karch' parameter
+         can be listed via 'yocto-bsp list karch'.

+                    necessary to create a BSP and perform basic kernel maintenance on that BSP using

+                    This command requires you to specify a particular kernel architecture
+                    (<filename>karch</filename>) on which to base the BSP.
+                    Assuming you have sourced the environment, you can use the
+                    <filename>yocto-bsp list karch</filename> sub-command to list the
+                    architectures available for BSP creation as follows:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ yocto-bsp list karch
+     Architectures available:
+         powerpc
+         i386
+         x86_64
+         arm
+         qemu
+         mips

+
+                <para>
+                    The remainder of this section presents an example that uses
+                    <filename>myarm</filename> as the machine name and <filename>qemu</filename>
+                    as the machine architecture.
+                    Of the available architectures, <filename>qemu</filename> is the only architecture
+                    that causes the script to prompt you further for an actual architecture.
+                    In every other way, this architecture is representative of how creating a BSP for
+                    an actual machine would work.
+                    The reason the example uses this architecture is because it is an emulated architecture
+                    and can easily be followed without requiring actual hardware.
+                </para>
+
+                <para>
+                    As the <filename>yocto-bsp create</filename> command runs, default values for
+                    the prompts appear in brackets.
+                    Pressing enter without supplying anything on the command line or pressing enter
+                    with an invalid response causes the script to accept the default value.
+                    Once the script completes, the new <filename>meta-myarm</filename> BSP layer
+                    is created in the current working directory.
+                    This example assumes you have sourced the
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#structure-core-script'><filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename></ulink>

+                    Let's take a closer look at the example now:
+                    <orderedlist>
+                        <listitem><para>For the QEMU architecture,
+                            the script first prompts you for which emulated architecture to use.
+                            In the example, we use the ARM architecture.
+                            </para></listitem>
+                        <listitem><para>The script then prompts you for the kernel.
+                            The default 3.10 kernel is acceptable.
+                            So, the example accepts the default.
+                            If you enter 'n', the script prompts you to further enter the kernel
+                            you do want to use (e.g. 3.2, 3.2_preempt-rt, and so forth.).</para></listitem>
+                        <listitem><para>Next, the script asks whether you would like to have a new
+                            branch created especially for your BSP in the local
+                            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#local-kernel-files'>Linux Yocto Kernel</ulink>

+                            <para>In this example, the default (or "yes") is accepted.
+                            Thus, a new branch is created for the BSP rather than using a common, shared
+                            branch.
+                            The new branch is the branch committed to for any patches you might later add.
+                            The reason a new branch is the default is that typically
+                            new BSPs do require BSP-specific patches.
+                            The tool thus assumes that most of time a new branch is required.
+                            </para></listitem>
+                        <listitem><para>Regardless of which choice you make in the previous step,

+                            (or to re-use if you had elected to not create a new branch).
+                            Because this example is generating an ARM-based BSP, the example
+                            uses <filename>#1</filename> at the prompt, which selects the ARM-versatile branch.

+                    remove a patch using the <filename>yocto-kernel patch rm</filename> sub-command.
+                    Here is an example:

+
+                <para>
+                    In a completely similar way, you can use the <filename>yocto-kernel config add</filename>
+                    sub-command to add one or more kernel config item settings to a BSP.
+                    The following commands add a couple of config items to the

+

+                    You can list the config items now associated with the BSP.
+                    Doing so shows you the config items you added as well as others associated
+                    with the BSP:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ yocto-kernel config list myarm

+
+                <para>
+                    Finally, you can remove one or more config items using the
+                    <filename>yocto-kernel config rm</filename> sub-command in a manner
+                    completely analogous to <filename>yocto-kernel patch rm</filename>.

+            The OpenEmbedded build system supports organizing
+            <link linkend='metadata'>Metadata</link> into multiple layers.
+            Layers allow you to isolate different types of customizations from
+            each other.
+            You might find it tempting to keep everything in one layer when
+            working on a single project.
+            However, the more modular you organize your Metadata, the easier
+            it is to cope with future changes.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To illustrate how layers are used to keep things modular, consider
+            machine customizations.
+            These types of customizations typically reside in a special layer,
+            rather than a general layer, called a Board Support Package (BSP)
+            Layer.
+            Furthermore, the machine customizations should be isolated from
+            recipes and Metadata that support a new GUI environment,
+            for example.
+            This situation gives you a couple of layers: one for the machine
+            configurations, and one for the GUI environment.
+            It is important to understand, however, that the BSP layer can
+            still make machine-specific additions to recipes within the GUI
+            environment layer without polluting the GUI layer itself
+            with those machine-specific changes.
+            You can accomplish this through a recipe that is a BitBake append
+            (<filename>.bbappend</filename>) file, which is described later
+            in this section.

+                The <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>
+                contains both general layers and BSP
+                layers right out of the box.
+                You can easily identify layers that ship with a
+                Yocto Project release in the Source Directory by their
+                folder names.
+                Folders that represent layers typically have names that begin with
+                the string <filename>meta-</filename>.
+                <note>
+                    It is not a requirement that a layer name begin with the
+                    prefix <filename>meta-</filename>, but it's a commonly accepted
+                    standard in the Yocto Project community.
+                </note>
+                For example, when you set up the Source Directory structure,
+                you will see several layers:
+                <filename>meta</filename>, <filename>meta-hob</filename>,
+                <filename>meta-skeleton</filename>,
+                <filename>meta-yocto</filename>, and
+                <filename>meta-yocto-bsp</filename>.
+                Each of these folders represents a distinct layer.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Furthermore, if you set up a local copy of the
+                <filename>meta-intel</filename> Git repository
+                and then explore the folder of that general layer,
+                you will discover many Intel-specific BSP layers inside.

+                The Yocto Project ships with scripts that speed up creating

+                       It is easiest to take an existing layer configuration

+                    Rather, use <filename>.bbappend</filename> files to override the

+                    Avoid duplicating include files.
+                    Use <filename>.bbappend</filename> files for each recipe
+                    that uses an include file.
+                    Or, if you are introducing a new recipe that requires
+                    the included file, use the path relative to the original
+                    layer directory to refer to the file.
+                    For example, use
+                    <filename>require recipes-core/somepackage/somefile.inc</filename>
+                    instead of <filename>require somefile.inc</filename>.
+                    If you're finding you have to overlay the include file,
+                    it could indicate a deficiency in the include file in
+                    the layer to which it originally belongs.
+                    If this is the case, you need to address that deficiency
+                    instead of overlaying the include file.

+
+                <para>
+                    For example, consider how support plug-ins for the Qt 4
+                    database are configured.
+                    The Source Directory does not have MySQL or PostgreSQL.

+                    does.
+                    Consequently, <filename>meta-oe</filename> uses

+                            Suppose you have a layer named
+                            <filename>meta-one</filename> that adds support

+                            To do so, you use an append file named
+                            <filename>base-files.bbappend</filename> and
+                            create a dependency on "foo" by altering the

+                            The dependency is created during any build that

+                            <filename>meta-one</filename>.
+                            However, you might not want this dependency
+                            for all machines.
+                            For example, suppose you are building for

+                            <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file has the
+                            <filename>meta-one</filename> layer included.
+                            During the build, the

+                            "two" will also have the dependency on

+                variable.
+                Setting this variable in the <filename>.bbappend</filename>
+                file is the most reliable and recommended method for adding

+                Using the immediate expansion assignment operator

+                One way to get additional software into an image is to create a custom image.
+                The following example shows the form for the two lines you need:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     IMAGE_INSTALL = "packagegroup-core-x11-base package1 package2"

+
+            <para>
+                By creating a custom image, a developer has total control
+                over the contents of the image.
+                It is important to use the correct names of packages in the
+                <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'>IMAGE_INSTALL</ulink></filename>
+                variable.
+                You must use the OpenEmbedded notation and not the Debian notation for the names
+                (e.g. <filename>eglibc-dev</filename> instead of <filename>libc6-dev</filename>).
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The other method for creating a custom image is to base it on an existing image.
+                For example, if you want to create an image based on <filename>core-image-sato</filename>
+                but add the additional package <filename>strace</filename> to the image,
+                copy the <filename>meta/recipes-sato/images/core-image-sato.bb</filename> to a
+                new <filename>.bb</filename> and add the following line to the end of the copy:

+     IMAGE_INSTALL += "strace"

+
+            <para>
+                For complex custom images, the best approach is to create a
+                custom package group recipe that is used to build the image or
+                images.
+                A good example of a package group recipe is
+                <filename>meta/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-core-boot.bb</filename>.
+                The
+                <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGES'>PACKAGES</ulink></filename>
+                variable lists the package group packages you wish to produce.
+                <filename>inherit packagegroup</filename> sets appropriate
+                default values and automatically adds <filename>-dev</filename>,
+                <filename>-dbg</filename>, and <filename>-ptest</filename>
+                complementary packages for every package specified in
+                <filename>PACKAGES</filename>.
+                Note that the inherit line should be towards
+                the top of the recipe, certainly before you set
+                <filename>PACKAGES</filename>.
+                For each package you specify in <filename>PACKAGES</filename>,
+                you can use
+                <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-RDEPENDS'>RDEPENDS</ulink></filename>

+                entries to provide a list of packages the parent task package
+                should contain.
+                Following is an example:

+                You might want to customize your image by enabling or

+                variables.
+                Although the functions for both variables are nearly equivalent,
+                best practices dictate using <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename>
+                from within a recipe and using
+                <filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> from within

+
+            <para>
+                To understand how these features work, the best reference is

+                In summary, the file looks at the contents of the

+                those contents into a set of package groups.
+                Based on this information, the build system automatically
+                adds the appropriate packages to the

+                variable.
+                Effectively, you are enabling extra features by extending the
+                class or creating a custom class for use with specialized image
+                <filename>.bb</filename> files.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Use the <filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> variable
+                from within your local configuration file.
+                Using a separate area from which to enable features with
+                this variable helps you avoid overwriting the features in the
+                image recipe that are enabled with
+                <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename>.
+                The value of <filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> is added

+                To illustrate how you can use these variables to modify your
+                image, consider an example that selects the SSH server.
+                The Yocto Project ships with two SSH servers you can use
+                with your images: Dropbear and OpenSSH.
+                Dropbear is a minimal SSH server appropriate for
+                resource-constrained environments, while OpenSSH is a
+                well-known standard SSH server implementation.
+                By default, the <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image
+                is configured to use Dropbear.
+                The <filename>core-image-basic</filename> and
+                <filename>core-image-lsb</filename> images both
+                include OpenSSH.
+                The <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> image does not

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                You can customize your image and change these defaults.

+            <title>Customizing Images Using <filename>local.conf</filename></title>
+
+            <para>
+                It is possible to customize image contents by using variables from your
+                local configuration in your <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> file.
+                Because it is limited to local use, this method generally only allows you to
+                add packages and is not as flexible as creating your own customized image.
+                When you add packages using local variables this way, you need to realize that
+                these variable changes affect all images at the same time and might not be
+                what you require.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The simplest way to add extra packages to all images is by using the
+                <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'>IMAGE_INSTALL</ulink></filename>
+                variable with the <filename>_append</filename> operator:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " strace"
+                </literallayout>
+                Use of the syntax is important - specifically, the space between
+                the quote and the package name, which is
+                <filename>strace</filename> in this example.
+                This space is required since the <filename>_append</filename>
+                operator does not add the space.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Furthermore, you must use <filename>_append</filename> instead of the <filename>+=</filename>
+                operator if you want to avoid ordering issues.
+                The reason for this is because doing so unconditionally appends to the variable and
+                avoids ordering problems due to the variable being set in image recipes and
+                <filename>.bbclass</filename> files with operators like <filename>?=</filename>.
+                Using <filename>_append</filename> ensures the operation takes affect.

+
+            <para>
+                As shown in its simplest use, <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL_append</filename> affects
+                all images.
+                It is possible to extend the syntax so that the variable applies to a specific image only.
+                Here is an example:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     IMAGE_INSTALL_append_pn-core-image-minimal = " strace"
+                </literallayout>
+                This example adds <filename>strace</filename> to <filename>core-image-minimal</filename>

+                The OpenEmbedded build system needs to be able to build a kernel for the machine.
+                You need to either create a new kernel recipe for this machine, or extend an
+                existing recipe.
+                You can find several kernel examples in the
+                Source Directory at <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux</filename>
+                that you can use as references.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                If you are creating a new recipe, normal recipe-writing rules apply for setting

+                Thus, you need to specify any necessary patches and set
+                <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-S'>S</ulink></filename> to point at the source code.
+                You need to create a <filename>configure</filename> task that configures the
+                unpacked kernel with a defconfig.
+                You can do this by using a <filename>make defconfig</filename> command or,
+                more commonly, by copying in a suitable <filename>defconfig</filename> file and and then running
+                <filename>make oldconfig</filename>.
+                By making use of <filename>inherit kernel</filename> and potentially some of the
+                <filename>linux-*.inc</filename> files, most other functionality is

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                If you are extending an existing kernel, it is usually a matter of adding a
+                suitable defconfig file.
+                The file needs to be added into a location similar to defconfig files
+                used for other machines in a given kernel.
+                A possible way to do this is by listing the file in the
+                <filename>SRC_URI</filename> and adding the machine to the expression in

+                A formfactor configuration file provides information about the
+                target hardware for which the image is being built and information that
+                the build system cannot obtain from other sources such as the kernel.
+                Some examples of information contained in a formfactor configuration file include
+                framebuffer orientation, whether or not the system has a keyboard,
+                the positioning of the keyboard in relation to the screen, and
+                the screen resolution.
+            </para>

+            <para>
+                The build system uses reasonable defaults in most cases.
+                However, if customization is
+                necessary, you need to create a <filename>machconfig</filename> file

+                The build system offers the ability to build libraries with different

+                into one system image.
+                You can link different binaries in the image
+                against the different libraries as needed for specific use cases.
+                This feature is called "Multilib."
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                An example would be where you have most of a system compiled in 32-bit

+                engine, that needs to be a 64-bit application and uses 64-bit libraries.

+                While the Multilib feature is most commonly used for 32 and 64-bit differences,

+                You could compile some binaries to use one set of libraries and other binaries
+                to use other different sets of libraries.

+                    Many standard recipes are already extended and support multiple libraries.

+                    For the most part, the Multilib class extension works automatically to

+
+            <para>
+                Situations can exist where you need to install and use
+                multiple versions of the same library on the same system
+                at the same time.
+                These situations almost always exist when a library API
+                changes and you have multiple pieces of software that
+                depend on the separate versions of the library.
+                To accommodate these situations, you can install multiple
+                versions of the same library in parallel on the same system.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The process is straight forward as long as the libraries use
+                proper versioning.
+                With properly versioned libraries, all you need to do to
+                individually specify the libraries is create separate,
+                appropriately named recipes where the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></ulink> part of the
+                name includes a portion that differentiates each library version
+                (e.g.the major part of the version number).
+                Thus, instead of having a single recipe that loads one version
+                of a library (e.g. <filename>clutter</filename>), you provide
+                multiple recipes that result in different versions
+                of the libraries you want.
+                As an example, the following two recipes would allow the
+                two separate versions of the <filename>clutter</filename>
+                library to co-exist on the same system:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     clutter-1.6_1.6.20.bb
+     clutter-1.8_1.8.4.bb
+                </literallayout>
+                Additionally, if you have other recipes that depend on a given
+                library, you need to use the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></ulink>
+                variable to create the dependency.
+                Continuing with the same example, if you want to have a recipe
+                depend on the 1.8 version of the <filename>clutter</filename>
+                library, use the following in your recipe:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     DEPENDS = "clutter-1.8"
+                </literallayout>

+
+        <para>
+            Creating an image for a particular hardware target using the
+            OpenEmbedded build system does not necessarily mean you can boot
+            that image as is on your device.
+            Physical devices accept and boot images in various ways depending
+            on the specifics of the device.
+            Usually, information about the hardware can tell you what image
+            format the device requires.
+            Should your device require multiple partitions on an SD card, flash,
+            or an HDD, you can use the OpenEmbedded Image Creator
+            () to create the properly partitioned image.

+
+        <para>
+            The <filename>wic</filename> command generates partitioned images
+            from existing OpenEmbedded build artifacts.
+            Image generation is driven by partitioning commands contained
+            in an Openembedded kickstart file (<filename>.wks</filename>)
+            specified either directly on the command-line or as one of a
+            selection of canned <filename>.wks</filename> files
+            (see 'wic list images').
+            When applied to a given set of build artifacts, the result is an
+            image or set of images that can be directly written onto media and
+            used on a particular system.

+
+                <para>
+                    Because <filename>wic</filename> image creation is driven
+                    by the kickstart file, it is easy to drive image creation
+                    by changing the parameters in the file.
+                    This next example demonstrates that through modification
+                    of the <filename>directdisk</filename> kickstart file.
+                </para>
+
+                <para>
+                    As mentioned earlier, you can use the command
+                    <filename>wic list images</filename> to show the list
+                    of provided kickstart files.
+                    The directory in which these files reside is in the
+                    <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>
+                    in <filename>scripts/lib/image/canned-wks/</filename>.
+                    Because the available files reside in this directory, you
+                    can create and add your own custom files to the directory.
+                    Subsequent use of the <filename>wic list images</filename>
+                    command would then include your kickstart files.

+
+                <para>
+                    In this example, the existing
+                    <filename>directdisk</filename> file already does most
+                    of what is needed.
+                    However, for the hardware in this example, the image will
+                    need to boot from <filename>sdb</filename> instead of
+                    <filename>sda</filename>, which is what the

+
+                <para>
+                    The example begins by making a copy of the

+                    <filename>scripts/lib/image/canned-wks</filename>
+                    directory and then changing the lines that specify the

+                    </literallayout>
+                    Next, the example modifies the
+                    <filename>directdisksdb.wks</filename> file and changes all
+                    instances of "<filename>--ondisk sda</filename>"
+                    to "<filename>--ondisk sdb</filename>".
+                    The example changes the following two lines and leaves the
+                    remaining lines untouched:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+                    (I AM HERE)
+                    Once the lines are changed, Once we've made that change, we generate a directdisksdb image,
+pointing the process at the core-image-minimal artifacts for the nuc
+(Next Unit of Computing), selected as our current MACHINE in

+
+                <para>
+                    Once we've set the build up, we run a core-image-minimal nuc build:

+     $ bitbake core-image-minimal
+                    </literallayout>
+            Once the build is finished, we can then use nuc to create our
+directdisk image for the nuc to boot. In this case, we'll use the

+     --size
+      The minimum partition size in megabytes. Specify an integer value
+      here such as 500. Do not append the number with MB. Not needed if
+      --source is used.
+
+     --source
+      bootimg
+      rootfs
+
+      The --source option is a wic-specific option that can currently
+      have one of two values, 'bootimg' or 'rootfs'.
+
+      If '--source rootfs' is used, it tells the wic command to create a
+      partition as large as needed to fill with the contents of /rootfs
+      (specified by the -r 'wic' option) and to fill it with the
+      contents of /rootfs.
+
+      If '--source bootimg' is used, it tells the wic command to create
+      a partition as large as needed to fill with the contents of the
+      boot partition (specified by the -b 'wic' option). Exactly what
+      those contents are depend on the value of the --fstype option for
+      that partition. If '--fstype=efi' is specified, the boot
+      artifacts contained in HDDDIR are used, and if '--fstype=msdos' is
+      specified, the boot artifacts found in STAGING_DATADIR are used.
+
+     --ondisk or --ondrive
+      Forces the partition to be created on a particular disk.
+
+     --fstype
+      Sets the file system type for the partition. Valid values are:
+      msdos
+      efi
+      ext4
+      ext3
+      ext2
+      btrfs
+      swap
+
+     --label label
+      Specify the label to give to the filesystem to be made on the
+      partition. If the given label is already in use by another
+      filesystem, a new label will be created for this partition.
+
+     --active
+      Mark the partition as active.
+
+     --align (in kB)
+      The '--align' option is a mic-specific option that says to start a
+      partition on an x kB boundary.

+      Specifies kernel parameters. These will be added to the syslinux
+      APPEND or grub kernel command line.
+
+     The boot type is determined by the fstype of the /boot mountpoint. If
+     the fstype is 'msdos' the boot type is 'pcbios', otherwise it's the

+                The easiest way to define kernel configurations is to set them through the

+                This tool provides an interactive method with which

+                To use the <filename>menuconfig</filename> tool in the Yocto Project development
+                environment, you must build the tool using BitBake.
+                Thus, the environment must be set up using the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#structure-core-script'><filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename></ulink>
+                or

+                Once <filename>menuconfig</filename> comes up, its standard interface allows you to

+                After making your changes, simply exit the tool and save your changes to

+                Thus, the following commands from the shell in which you previously sourced the

+                Saving the selections updates the <filename>.config</filename> configuration file.
+                This is the file that the OpenEmbedded build system uses to configure the
+                kernel during the build.
+                You can find and examine this file in the Build Directory in
+                <filename>tmp/work/</filename>.
+                The actual <filename>.config</filename> is located in the area where the
+                specific kernel is built.
+                For example, if you were building a Linux Yocto kernel based on the
+                Linux 3.4 kernel and you were building a QEMU image targeted for
+                <filename>x86</filename> architecture, the

+                    Also, depending on the kernel you are using, the exact pathname

+
+            <para>
+                Within the <filename>.config</filename> file, you can see the kernel settings.
+                For example, the following entry shows that symmetric multi-processor support
+                is not set:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     # CONFIG_SMP is not set

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                A good method to isolate changed configurations is to use a combination of the
+                <filename>menuconfig</filename> tool and simple shell commands.
+                Before changing configurations with <filename>menuconfig</filename>, copy the
+                existing <filename>.config</filename> and rename it to something else,
+                use <filename>menuconfig</filename> to make
+                as many changes an you want and save them, then compare the renamed configuration
+                file against the newly created file.
+                You can use the resulting differences as your base to create configuration fragments
+                to permanently save in your kernel layer.
+                <note>
+                    Be sure to make a copy of the <filename>.config</filename> and don't just
+                    rename it.
+                    The build system needs an existing <filename>.config</filename>
+                    from which to work.

+                Syntactically, the configuration statement is identical to what would appear

+
+            <para>
+                It is simple to create a configuration fragment.
+                For example, issuing the following from the shell creates a configuration fragment
+                file named <filename>my_smp.cfg</filename> that enables multi-processor support

+                    All configuration files must use the <filename>.cfg</filename> extension in order

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Where do you put your configuration files?
+                You can place these configuration files in the same area pointed to by
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>.
+                The OpenEmbedded build system will pick up the configuration and add it to the

+                For example, suppose you had a set of configuration options in a file called

+                a <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement such as the following to the kernel's append file,
+                those configuration options will be picked up and applied when the kernel is built.

+                For example, you could group separate configurations specifically for Ethernet and graphics

+                The layer is where you place your configuration files, append

+                Memory consists of static, dynamic, and temporary memory.
+                Static memory is the TEXT (code), DATA (initialized data
+                in the code), and BSS (uninitialized data) sections.
+                Dynamic memory contains memory that is allocated at runtime,
+                stacks, hash tables, and so forth.
+                Temporary memory is recovered after the boot process.
+                This memory consists of memory used for decompressing

+
+            <para>
+                The root filesystem is made up of packages for booting,
+                libraries, and applications.
+                To change things, you can configure how the packaging happens,
+                which changes the way you build them.
+                You can also tweak the filesystem itself or select a different
+                filesystem.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                First, find out what is hogging your root filesystem by running the
+                <filename>dirsize.py</filename> script from your root directory:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd &lt;root-directory-of-image&gt;
+     $ dirsize.py 100000 > dirsize-100k.log
+     $ cat dirsize-100k.log
+                </literallayout>
+                You can apply a filter to the script to ignore files under
+                a certain size.
+                This example filters out anything below 100 Kbytes.
+                The sizes reported by the tool are uncompressed and thus,
+                will be smaller by a relatively constant factor in a
+                compressed root filesystem.
+                When you examine your log file, you can focus on areas of the
+                root filesystem that take up large amounts of memory.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                You need to be sure that what you eliminate does not cripple
+                the functionality you need.
+                One way to see how packages relate to each other is by using
+                the Dependency Explorer UI with the BitBake command:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd &lt;image-directory&gt;
+     $ bitbake -u depexp -g &lt;image&gt;
+                </literallayout>
+                Use the interface to select potential packages you wish to
+                eliminate and see their dependency relationships.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                When deciding how to reduce the size, get rid of packages that
+                result in minimal impact on the feature set.
+                For example, you might not need a VGA display.
+                Or, you might be able to get by with <filename>devtmpfs</filename>
+                and <filename>mdev</filename> instead of
+                <filename>udev</filename>.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Use the <filename>local.conf</filename> file to make changes.
+                For example, to eliminate <filename>udev</filename> and
+                <filename>glib</filename>, set the following in the
+                local configuration file:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager = ""
+                </literallayout>
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Finally, you should consider exactly the type of root
+                filesystem you need to meet your needs while also reducing
+                its size.
+                For example, consider <filename>cramfs</filename>,
+                <filename>squashfs</filename>, <filename>ubifs</filename>,
+                <filename>ext2</filename>, or an <filename>initramfs</filename>
+                using <filename>initramfs</filename>.
+                Be aware that <filename>ext3</filename> requires a 1 Mbyte
+                journal.
+                If you are okay with running read-only you do not need this
+                journal.
+            </para>
+
+            <note>
+                After each round of elimination, you need to rebuild your
+                system and then use the tools to see the effects of your
+                reductions.

+                Run the <filename>ksize.py</filename> script from the top-level

+                When you examine the log, you will see how much space is

+                drivers, networking, core kernel files, filesystem, sound,

+                The sizes reported by the tool are uncompressed and thus,
+                will be smaller by a relatively constant factor in a compressed
+                kernel image.
+                Look to reduce the areas that are large and taking up around

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Use your log file to see what you can eliminate from the kernel
+                based on features you can let go.
+                For example, if you are not going to need sound, you do not
+                need any drivers that support sound.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                After figuring out what to eliminate, you need to reconfigure
+                the kernel to reflect those changes during the next build.
+                You could run <filename>menuconfig</filename> and make all your

+                However, that makes it difficult to see the effects of your

+                the changes for perhaps another target device.
+                A better method is to start with no configurations using
+                <filename>allnoconfig</filename>, create configuration
+                fragments for individual changes, and then manage the

+                You might find it necessary to prevent specific packages
+                from being installed into an image.
+                If so, you can use several variables to direct the build
+                system to essentially ignore installing recommended packages
+                or to not install a package at all.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The following list introduces variables you can use to
+                prevent packages from being installed into your image.
+                Each of these variables only works with IPK and RPM
+                package types.
+                Support for Debian packages does not exist.
+                Also, you can use these variables from your
+                <filename>local.conf</filename> file or attach them to a
+                specific image recipe by using a recipe name override.
+                For more detail on the variables, see the descriptions in the

+                Given that one of the challenges any build system and its

+                with existing package manager applications such as
+                RPM, APT, and OPKG, using an automated system is much
+                preferred over a manual system.
+                In either system, the main requirement is that version
+                numbering increases in a linear fashion and that a number of
+                version components exist that support that linear progression.

+                    increasing numbers, particularly the revision field,
+                    which removes the human element.

+

+                    The Yocto Project uses variables in order of
+                    decreasing priority to facilitate revision numbering (i.e.
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PE'><filename>PE</filename></ulink>,
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></ulink>, and

+                    for epoch, version and revision, respectively).
+                    The values are highly dependent on the policies and
+                    procedures of a given distribution and package feed.
+                </para>
+
+                <para>
+                    Because the OpenEmbedded build system uses
+                    "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#checksums'>signatures</ulink>",
+                    which are unique to a given build, the build system
+                    knows when to rebuild packages.
+                    All the inputs into a given task are represented by a
+                    signature, which can trigger a rebuild when different.
+                    Thus, the build system itself does not rely on the
+                    <filename>PR</filename> numbers to trigger a rebuild.
+                    The signatures, however, can be used to generate
+                    <filename>PR</filename> values.

+
+                <para>
+                    The PR Service works with both
+                    <filename>OEBasic</filename> and
+                    <filename>OEBasicHash</filename> generators.
+                    The value of <filename>PR</filename> bumps when the
+                    checksum changes and the different generator mechanisms
+                    change signatures under different circumstances.

+
+                <para>
+                    As implemented, the build system includes values from
+                    the PR Service into the <filename>PR</filename> field as
+                    an addition using the form "<filename>.x</filename>" so
+                    <filename>r0</filename> becomes <filename>r0.1</filename>,
+                    <filename>r0.2</filename> and so forth.
+                    This scheme allows existing <filename>PR</filename> values
+                    to be used for whatever reasons, which include manual
+                    <filename>PR</filename> bumps should it be necessary.

+
+                <para>
+                    By default, the PR Service is not enabled or running.
+                    Thus, the packages generated are just "self consistent".
+                    The build system adds and removes packages and
+                    there are no guarantees about upgrade paths but images
+                    will be consistent and correct with the latest changes.

+
+                <para>
+                    The simplest form for a PR Service is for it to exist
+                    for a single host development system that builds the
+                    package feed (building system).
+                    For this scenario, you can enable the PR Service by adding
+                    the following to your <filename>local.conf</filename>
+                    file in the
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PRSERV_HOST = "localhost:0"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    Once the service is started, packages will automatically
+                    get increasing <filename>PR</filename> values and
+                    BitBake will take care of starting and stopping the server.
+                </para>
+
+                <para>
+                    If you have a more complex setup where multiple host
+                    development systems work against a common, shared package
+                    feed, you have a single PR Service running and it is
+                    connected to each building system.
+                    For this scenario, you need to start the PR Service using
+                    the <filename>bitbake-prserv</filename> command:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     bitbake-prserv &dash;&dash;host &lt;ip&gt; &dash;&dash;port &lt;port&gt; &dash;&dash;start
+                    </literallayout>
+                    In addition to hand-starting the service, you need to
+                    update the <filename>local.conf</filename> file of each
+                    building system as described earlier so each system
+                    points to the server and port.

+
+                <para>
+                    It is also recommended you use Build History, which adds
+                    some sanity checks to package versions, in conjunction with
+                    the server that is running the PR Service.
+                    To enable build history, add the following to each building
+                    system's <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     # It is recommended to activate "buildhistory" for testing the PR service

+                    The alternative to setting up a PR Service is to manually

+            <para>
+                Sometimes a package name you are using might exist under an alias or as a similarly named
+                package in a different distribution.
+                The OpenEmbedded build system implements a <filename>distro_check</filename>
+                task that automatically connects to major distributions
+                and checks for these situations.
+                If the package exists under a different name in a different distribution, you get a
+                <filename>distro_check</filename> mismatch.
+                You can resolve this problem by defining a per-distro recipe name alias using the
+                <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DISTRO_PN_ALIAS'>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</ulink></filename>
+                variable.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Following is an example that shows how you specify the <filename>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</filename>
+                variable:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     DISTRO_PN_ALIAS_pn-PACKAGENAME = "distro1=package_name_alias1 \
+                                       distro2=package_name_alias2 \
+                                       distro3=package_name_alias3 \

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                If you have more than one distribution alias, separate them with a space.
+                Note that the build system currently automatically checks the
+                Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu,
+                and Mandriva distributions for source package recipes without having to specify them
+                using the <filename>DISTRO_PN_ALIAS</filename> variable.
+                For example, the following command generates a report that lists the Linux distributions
+                that include the sources for each of the recipes.
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+     recursive
+        True to perform a recursive search - default
+        False
+     hook
+        A hook function to be called for every match.

+        modulename
+           The module name derived using file_regex
+
+     extra_depends
+        Extra runtime dependencies (RDEPENDS) to be
+        set for all packages. The default value of None
+        causes a dependency on the main package
+        (${PN}) - if you do not want this, pass empty
+        string '' for this parameter.
+     aux_files_pattern
+        Extra item(s) to be added to FILES for each
+        package. Can be a single string item or a list

+                A simple build that targets just one device produces
+                more than one package database.
+                In other words, the packages produced by a build are separated
+                out into a couple of different package groupings based on
+                criteria such as the target's CPU architecture, the target
+                board, or the C library used on the target.
+                For example, a build targeting the <filename>qemuarm</filename>
+                device produces the following three package databases:
+                <filename>all</filename>, <filename>armv5te</filename>, and
+                <filename>qemuarm</filename>.
+                If you wanted your <filename>qemuarm</filename> device to be
+                aware of all the packages that were available to it,
+                you would need to point it to each of these databases
+                individually.
+                In a similar way, a traditional Linux distribution usually is
+                configured to be aware of a number of software repositories
+                from which it retrieves packages.

+                    as well as have the relevant tools available on the

+                    Whenever you perform any sort of build step that can
+                    potentially generate a package or modify an existing
+                    package, it is always a good idea to re-generate the

+                    Each module can have multiple classes with multiple test

+
+        <para>
+            GDB allows you to examine running programs, which in turn helps you to understand and fix problems.
+            It also allows you to perform post-mortem style analysis of program crashes.
+            GDB is available as a package within the Yocto Project and is
+            installed in SDK images by default.
+            See the "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-images'>Images</ulink>" chapter
+            in the Yocto Project Reference Manual for a description of these images.
+            You can find information on GDB at <ulink url="http://sourceware.org/gdb/"/>.
+        </para>
+
+        <tip>
+            For best results, install <filename>-dbg</filename> packages for
+            the applications you are going to debug.
+            Doing so makes extra debug symbols available that give you more
+            meaningful output.
+        </tip>
+
+        <para>
+            Sometimes, due to memory or disk space constraints, it is not possible
+            to use GDB directly on the remote target to debug applications.
+            These constraints arise because GDB needs to load the debugging information and the
+            binaries of the process being debugged.
+            Additionally, GDB needs to perform many computations to locate information such as function
+            names, variable names and values, stack traces and so forth - even before starting the
+            debugging process.
+            These extra computations place more load on the target system and can alter the
+            characteristics of the program being debugged.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To help get past the previously mentioned constraints, you can use Gdbserver.
+            Gdbserver runs on the remote target and does not load any debugging information
+            from the debugged process.
+            Instead, a GDB instance processes the debugging information that is run on a
+            remote computer - the host GDB.
+            The host GDB then sends control commands to Gdbserver to make it stop or start the debugged
+            program, as well as read or write memory regions of that debugged program.
+            All the debugging information loaded and processed as well
+            as all the heavy debugging is done by the host GDB.
+            Offloading these processes gives the Gdbserver running on the target a chance to remain
+            small and fast.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Because the host GDB is responsible for loading the debugging information and
+            for doing the necessary processing to make actual debugging happen, the
+            user has to make sure the host can access the unstripped binaries complete
+            with their debugging information and also be sure the target is compiled with no optimizations.
+            The host GDB must also have local access to all the libraries used by the
+            debugged program.
+            Because Gdbserver does not need any local debugging information, the binaries on
+            the remote target can remain stripped.
+            However, the binaries must also be compiled without optimization
+            so they match the host's binaries.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To remain consistent with GDB documentation and terminology, the binary being debugged
+            on the remote target machine is referred to as the "inferior" binary.

+

+            Toaster is an Application Programming Interface (API) and
+            web-based interface to the OpenEmbedded build system, which uses
+            BitBake.
+            Both interfaces are based on a Representational State Transfer
+            (REST) API that queries for and returns build information using
+            <filename>GET</filename> and <filename>JSON</filename>.
+            These types of search operations retrieve sets of objects from
+            a data store used to collect build information.
+            The results contain all the data for the objects being returned.
+            You can order the results of the search by key and the search
+            parameters are consistent for all object types.
+        </para>

+            This profiler provides answers to questions like "Which functions does my application spend

+            Because the OpenEmbedded build system is well integrated with OProfile, it makes profiling

+            To use OProfile, you need an image that has OProfile installed.

+            <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_FEATURES'>IMAGE_FEATURES</ulink></filename> variable.
+            You also need debugging symbols to be available on the system where the analysis
+            takes place.
+            You can gain access to the symbols by using <filename>dbg-pkgs</filename> in the
+            <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> variable or by

+            variable to "1" in the <filename>local.conf</filename> configuration file.

+                Callgraphing logs information about time spent in functions and about a function's

+                The higher the callgraphing depth, the more accurate the results.
+                However, higher depths also increase the logging overhead.
+                Consequently, you should take care when setting the callgraphing depth.
+                <note>
+                    On ARM, binaries need to have the frame pointer enabled for callgraphing to work.
+                    To accomplish this use the <filename>-fno-omit-framepointer</filename> option

+                    The OpenEmbedded build system generates separate <filename>vmlinux</filename>
+                    packages for each kernel it builds.

+                    The files are automatically installed into development and profiling images
+                    alongside OProfile.

+
+        <para>
+            One of the concerns for a development organization using open source
+            software is how to maintain compliance with various open source
+            licensing during the lifecycle of the product.
+            While this section does not provide legal advice or
+            comprehensively cover all scenarios, it does
+            present methods that you can use to
+            assist you in meeting the compliance requirements during a software
+            release.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            With hundreds of different open source licenses that the Yocto
+            Project tracks, it is difficult to know the requirements of each
+            and every license.
+            However, we can begin to cover the requirements of the major FLOSS licenses, by
+            assuming that there are three main areas of concern:
+            <itemizedlist>
+                <listitem><para>Source code must be provided.</para></listitem>
+                <listitem><para>License text for the software must be

+                    </para></listitem>
+            </itemizedlist>
+            There are other requirements beyond the scope of these
+            three and the methods described in this section
+            (e.g. the mechanism through which source code is distributed).
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            As different organizations have different methods of complying with
+            open source licensing, this section is not meant to imply that
+            there is only one single way to meet your compliance obligations,
+            but rather to describe one method of achieving compliance.
+            The remainder of this section describes methods supported to meet the
+            previously mentioned three requirements.
+            Once you take steps to meet these requirements,
+            and prior to releasing images, sources, and the build system,
+            you should audit all artifacts to ensure completeness.
+            <note>
+                The Yocto Project generates a license manifest during
+                image creation that is located
+                in <filename>${DEPLOY_DIR}/licenses/&lt;image_name-datestamp&gt;</filename>
+                to assist with any audits.

+                Compliance activities should begin before you generate the
+                final image.
+                The first thing you should look at is the requirement that
+                tops the list for most compliance groups - providing
+                the source.
+                The Yocto Project has a few ways of meeting this
+                requirement.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                One of the easiest ways to meet this requirement is
+                to provide the entire
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DL_DIR'><filename>DL_DIR</filename></ulink>
+                used by the build.
+                This method, however, has a few issues.
+                The most obvious is the size of the directory since it includes
+                all sources used in the build and not just the source used in
+                the released image.
+                It will include toolchain source, and other artifacts, which
+                you would not generally release.
+                However, the more serious issue for most companies is accidental
+                release of proprietary software.
+                The Yocto Project provides an archiver class to help avoid
+                some of these concerns.
+                See the
+                "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-archiver'>Archiving Sources - <filename>archive*.bbclass</filename></ulink>"
+                section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual for information
+                on this class.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Before you employ <filename>DL_DIR</filename> or the
+                archiver class, you need to decide how you choose to
+                provide source.
+                The source archiver class can generate tarballs and SRPMs
+                and can create them with various levels of compliance in mind.
+                One way of doing this (but certainly not the only way) is to
+                release just the original source as a tarball.
+                You can do this by adding the following to the
+                <filename>local.conf</filename> file found in the

+                During the creation of your image, the source from all
+                recipes that deploy packages to the image is placed within

+                <filename>DEPLOY_DIR/sources</filename> based on the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LICENSE'><filename>LICENSE</filename></ulink>
+                for each recipe.
+                Releasing the entire directory enables you to comply with
+                requirements concerning providing the unmodified source.
+                It is important to note that the size of the directory can

+
+            <para>
+                A way to help mitigate the size issue is to only release
+                tarballs for licenses that require the release of
+                source.
+                Let's assume you are only concerned with GPL code as
+                identified with the following:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd poky/build/tmp/deploy/sources
+     $ mkdir ~/gpl_source_release
+     $ for dir in */*GPL*; do cp -r $dir ~/gpl_source_release; done
+                </literallayout>
+                At this point, you could create a tarball from the
+                <filename>gpl_source_release</filename> directory and
+                provide that to the end user.
+                This method would be a step toward achieving compliance
+                with section 3a of GPLv2 and with section 6 of GPLv3.
+            </para>
+        </section>

+            <title>Providing License Text</title>
+
+            <para>
+                One requirement that is often overlooked is inclusion
+                of license text.
+                This requirement also needs to be dealt with prior to
+                generating the final image.
+                Some licenses require the license text to accompany
+                the binary.
+                You can achieve this by adding the following to your
+                <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1"
+     COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1"
+                </literallayout>
+                Adding these statements to the configuration file ensures
+                that the licenses collected during package generation
+                are included on your image.
+                As the source archiver has already archived the original
+                unmodified source that contains the license files,
+                you would have already met the requirements for inclusion
+                of the license information with source as defined by the GPL
+                and other open source licenses.

+                By releasing the version of the OpenEmbedded build system

+                and a distro layer, and those those layers are used to patch,
+                compile, package, or modify (in any way) any open source
+                software included in your released images, you
+                may be required to to release those layers under section 3 of
+                GPLv2 or section 1 of GPLv3.
+                One way of doing that is with a clean
+                checkout of the version of the Yocto Project and layers used
+                during your build.
+                Here is an example:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     # We built using the &DISTRO_NAME; branch of the poky repo
+     $ git clone -b &DISTRO_NAME; git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky

+     # We built using the release_branch for our layers
+     $ git clone -b release_branch git://git.mycompany.com/meta-my-bsp-layer
+     $ git clone -b release_branch git://git.mycompany.com/meta-my-software-layer
+     # clean up the .git repos
+     $ find . -name ".git" -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;
+                </literallayout>
+                One thing a development organization might want to consider
+                for end-user convenience is to modify
+                <filename>meta-yocto/conf/bblayers.conf.sample</filename> to
+                ensure that when the end user utilizes the released build
+                system to build an image, the development organization's
+                layers are included in the <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>
+                file automatically:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     # LAYER_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
+     # changes incompatibly

+                (recipes, configuration files, and so forth)
+                enables you to meet your
+                requirements to include the scripts to control compilation
+                as well as any modifications to the original source.

+        <title>Introduction</title>
+
+        <para>
+            Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Manual!
+            This manual provides information on how to use the Yocto Project to
+            develop embedded Linux images and user-space applications that
+            run on targeted devices.
+            The manual provides an overview of image, kernel, and
+            user-space application development using the Yocto Project.
+            Because much of the information in this manual is general, it
+            contains many references to other sources where you can find more
+            detail.
+            For example, you can find detailed information on Git, repositories,
+            and open source in general in many places on the Internet.
+            Another example specific to the Yocto Project is how to quickly
+            set up your host development system and build an image, which you
+            find in the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;'>Yocto Project Quick Start</ulink>.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The Yocto Project Development Manual does, however, provide
+            guidance and examples on how to change the kernel source code,
+            reconfigure the kernel, and develop an application using the
+            popular <trademark class='trade'>Eclipse</trademark> IDE.
+        </para>
+
+        <note>
+            By default, using the Yocto Project creates a Poky distribution.
+            However, you can create your own distribution by providing key
+            <link linkend='metadata'>Metadata</link>.
+            A good example is Angstrom, which has had a distribution
+            based on the Yocto Project since its inception.
+            Other examples include  commercial distributions like
+            Wind River Linux, Mentor Embedded Linux, and ENEA Linux.
+            See the "<link linkend='creating-your-own-distribution'>Creating Your Own Distribution</link>"
+            section for more information.

+    <title>System Development Workflow</title>
+
+    <para>
+        System development involves modification or creation of an image that you want to run on
+        a specific hardware target.
+        Usually, when you want to create an image that runs on embedded hardware, the image does
+        not require the same number of features that a full-fledged Linux distribution provides.
+        Thus, you can create a much smaller image that is designed to use only the
+        features for your particular hardware.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        To help you understand how system development works in the Yocto Project, this section
+        covers two types of image development:  BSP creation and kernel modification or
+        configuration.

+        <title>Developing a Board Support Package (BSP)</title>
+
+        <para>
+            A BSP is a package of recipes that, when applied during a build, results in
+            an image that you can run on a particular board.
+            Thus, the package when compiled into the new image, supports the operation of the board.

+                    Layers are ideal for
+                    isolating and storing work for a given piece of hardware.
+                    A layer is really just a location or area in which you place
+                    the recipes and configurations for your BSP.
+                    In fact, a BSP is, in itself, a special type of layer.
+                    The simplest way to create a new BSP layer that is compliant with the
+                    Yocto Project is to use the <filename>yocto-bsp</filename> script.
+                    For information about that script, see the
+                    "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;#creating-a-new-bsp-layer-using-the-yocto-bsp-script'>Creating a New BSP Layer Using the yocto-bsp Script</ulink>"
+                    section in the Yocto Project Board Support (BSP) Developer's Guide.

+                    <para>
+                    Another example that illustrates a layer is an application.
+                    Suppose you are creating an application that has library or other dependencies in
+                    order for it to compile and run.
+                    The layer, in this case, would be where all the recipes that define those dependencies
+                    are kept.
+                    The key point for a layer is that it is an isolated area that contains
+                    all the relevant information for the project that the OpenEmbedded build
+                    system knows about.
+                    For more information on layers, see the
+                    "<link linkend='understanding-and-creating-layers'>Understanding and Creating Layers</link>"
+                    section.
+                    For more information on BSP layers, see the

+                    <para>When you set up a layer for a new BSP, you should follow a standard layout.

+                    You can see the standard layout for a BSP by examining

+            Configuration changes can be added in the form of configuration fragments, while recipe

+            <para>
+                Traditionally, when one thinks of a patched kernel, they think of a base kernel
+                source tree and a fixed structure that contains kernel patches.
+                The Yocto Project, however, employs mechanisms that, in a sense, result in a kernel source
+                generator.
+                By the end of this section, this analogy will become clearer.

+                If you look at the interface, you will see to the left a grouping of
+                Git repositories titled "Yocto Linux Kernel."
+                Within this group, you will find several kernels supported by

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The kernels are maintained using the Git revision control system
+                that structures them using the familiar "tree", "branch", and "leaf" scheme.
+                Branches represent diversions from general code to more specific code, while leaves
+                represent the end-points for a complete and unique kernel whose source files,
+                when gathered from the root of the tree to the leaf, accumulate to create the files
+                necessary for a specific piece of hardware and its features.
+                The following figure displays this concept:
+            <para>
+                <imagedata fileref="figures/kernel-overview-1.png"
+                    width="6in" depth="6in" align="center" scale="100" />
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Within the figure, the "Kernel.org Branch Point" represents the point in the tree
+                where a supported base kernel is modified from the Linux kernel.
+                For example, this could be the branch point for the <filename>linux-yocto-3.4</filename>
+                kernel.
+                Thus, everything further to the right in the structure is based on the
+                <filename>linux-yocto-3.4</filename> kernel.
+                Branch points to right in the figure represent where the
+                <filename>linux-yocto-3.4</filename> kernel is modified for specific hardware
+                or types of kernels, such as real-time kernels.
+                Each leaf thus represents the end-point for a kernel designed to run on a specific
+                targeted device.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The overall result is a Git-maintained repository from which all the supported
+                kernel types can be derived for all the supported devices.
+                A big advantage to this scheme is the sharing of common features by keeping them in
+                "larger" branches within the tree.
+                This practice eliminates redundant storage of similar features shared among kernels.
+            </para>
+
+            <note>
+                Keep in mind the figure does not take into account all the supported Yocto
+                Project kernel types, but rather shows a single generic kernel just for conceptual purposes.
+                Also keep in mind that this structure represents the Yocto Project source repositories
+                that are either pulled from during the build or established on the host development system
+                prior to the build by either cloning a particular kernel's Git repository or by
+                downloading and unpacking a tarball.
+            </note>
+
+            <para>
+                Upstream storage of all the available kernel source code is one thing, while
+                representing and using the code on your host development system is another.
+                Conceptually, you can think of the kernel source repositories as all the
+                source files necessary for all the supported kernels.
+                As a developer, you are just interested in the source files for the kernel on
+                which you are working.
+                And, furthermore, you need them available on your host system.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Kernel source code is available on your host system a couple of different
+                ways.
+                If you are working in the kernel all the time, you probably would want
+                to set up your own local Git repository of the kernel tree.
+                If you just need to make some patches to the kernel, you can access
+                temporary kernel source files that were extracted and used
+                during a build.
+                We will just talk about working with the temporary source code.
+                For more information on how to get kernel source code onto your
+                host system, see the
+                "<link linkend='local-kernel-files'>Yocto Project Kernel</link>"

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                What happens during the build?
+                When you build the kernel on your development system, all files needed for the build
+                are taken from the source repositories pointed to by the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink> variable
+                and gathered in a temporary work area
+                where they are subsequently used to create the unique kernel.
+                Thus, in a sense, the process constructs a local source tree specific to your
+                kernel to generate the new kernel image - a source generator if you will.
+            </para>
+                The following figure shows the temporary file structure
+                created on your host system when the build occurs.

+        Application development involves creating an application that you want

+            actual target hardware.
+            You can also perform cross-debugging and profiling.

+
+    <para>
+        You might
+        find it helpful during development to modify the temporary source code used by recipes
+        to build packages.
+        For example, suppose you are developing a patch and you need to experiment a bit
+        to figure out your solution.
+        After you have initially built the package, you can iteratively tweak the
+        source code, which is located in the
+        <link linkend='build-directory'>Build Directory</link>, and then
+        you can force a re-compile and quickly test your altered code.
+        Once you settle on a solution, you can then preserve your changes in the form of
+        patches.
+        You can accomplish these steps all within either a
+        <ulink url='http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt'>Quilt</ulink> or
+        <link linkend='git'>Git</link> workflow.

+        <title>Finding the Temporary Source Code</title>
+
+        <para>
+            During a build, the unpacked temporary source code used by recipes
+            to build packages is available in the Build Directory as
+            defined by the
+            <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-S'>S</ulink></filename> variable.
+            Below is the default value for the <filename>S</filename> variable as defined in the
+            <filename>meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename> configuration file in the
+            <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     S = "${WORKDIR}/${BP}"
+            </literallayout>
+            You should be aware that many recipes override the <filename>S</filename> variable.
+            For example, recipes that fetch their source from Git usually set
+            <filename>S</filename> to <filename>${WORKDIR}/git</filename>.
+            <note>
+                The
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BP'><filename>BP</filename></ulink>

+
+        <para>
+            The path to the work directory for the recipe
+            (<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></ulink>) depends
+            on the recipe name and the architecture of the target device.
+            For example, here is the work directory for recipes and resulting packages that are
+            not device-dependent:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     ${TMPDIR}/work/${PACKAGE_ARCH}-poky-${TARGET_OS}/${PN}/${EXTENDPE}${PV}-${PR}
+            </literallayout>
+            Let's look at an example without variables.
+            Assuming a top-level <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>
+            named <filename>poky</filename>
+            and a default Build Directory of <filename>poky/build</filename>,
+            the following is the work directory for the <filename>acl</filename> recipe that
+            creates the <filename>acl</filename> package:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     poky/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/acl/2.2.51-r3/
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            If your resulting package is dependent on the target device,
+            the work directory varies slightly:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     ${TMPDIR}/work/${MACHINE}-poky-${TARGET_OS}/${PN}/${EXTENDPE}${PV}-${PR}
+            </literallayout>
+            Again, assuming top-level Source Directory named <filename>poky</filename>
+            and a default Build Directory of <filename>poky/build</filename>, the
+            following are the work and temporary source directories, respectively,
+            for the <filename>acl</filename> package that is being
+            built for a MIPS-based device:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     poky/build/tmp/work/mips-poky-linux/acl/2.2.51-r2

+            Git is an even more powerful tool that allows you to capture source code changes without having
+            a clean source tree.
+            This section outlines the typical workflow you can use to modify temporary source code,
+            test changes, and then preserve the changes in the form of a patch all using Git.
+            For general information on Git as it is used in the Yocto Project, see the

+        </para>
+
+        <note>
+            This workflow uses Git only for its ability to manage local changes to the source code

+        When debugging certain commands or even when just editing packages,
+        <filename>devshell</filename> can be a useful tool.
+        When you invoke <filename>devshell</filename>, source files are
+        extracted into your working directory and patches are applied.
+        Then, a new terminal is opened and you are placed in the working directory.
+        In the new terminal, all the OpenEmbedded build-related environment variables are
+        still defined so you can use commands such as <filename>configure</filename> and
+        <filename>make</filename>.
+        The commands execute just as if the OpenEmbedded build system were executing them.
+        Consequently, working this way can be helpful when debugging a build or preparing
+        software to be used with the OpenEmbedded build system.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>

+

+        This command spawns a terminal with a shell prompt within the OpenEmbedded build environment.
+        The <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-OE_TERMINAL'><filename>OE_TERMINAL</filename></ulink>
+        variable controls what type of shell is opened.

+
+    <para>
+        Within this environment, you can run configure or compile

+
+    <para>

+
+    <note>
+        <para>
+            It is worth remembering that when using <filename>devshell</filename>
+            you need to use the full compiler name such as <filename>arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc</filename>
+            instead of just using <filename>gcc</filename>.
+            The same applies to other applications such as <filename>binutils</filename>,
+            <filename>libtool</filename> and so forth.
+            BitBake sets up environment variables such as <filename>CC</filename>
+            to assist applications, such as <filename>make</filename> to find the correct tools.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            It is also worth noting that <filename>devshell</filename> still works over

+<title>The Yocto Project Open Source Development Environment</title>
+
+<para>
+    This chapter helps you understand the Yocto Project as an open source development project.
+    In general, working in an open source environment is very different from working in a
+    closed, proprietary environment.
+    Additionally, the Yocto Project uses specific tools and constructs as part of its development
+    environment.
+    This chapter specifically addresses open source philosophy, using the
+    Yocto Project in a team environment, source repositories, Yocto Project
+    terms, licensing, the open source distributed version control system Git,
+    workflows, bug tracking, and how to submit changes.

+    <title>Open Source Philosophy</title>
+
+    <para>
+        Open source philosophy is characterized by software development directed by peer production
+        and collaboration through an active community of developers.
+        Contrast this to the more standard centralized development models used by commercial software
+        companies where a finite set of developers produces a product for sale using a defined set
+        of procedures that ultimately result in an end product whose architecture and source material
+        are closed to the public.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Open source projects conceptually have differing concurrent agendas, approaches, and production.
+        These facets of the development process can come from anyone in the public (community) that has a
+        stake in the software project.
+        The open source environment contains new copyright, licensing, domain, and consumer issues
+        that differ from the more traditional development environment.
+        In an open source environment, the end product, source material, and documentation are
+        all available to the public at no cost.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        A benchmark example of an open source project is the Linux Kernel, which was initially conceived
+        and created by Finnish computer science student Linus Torvalds in 1991.
+        Conversely, a good example of a non-open source project is the
+        <trademark class='registered'>Windows</trademark> family of operating
+        systems developed by <trademark class='registered'>Microsoft</trademark> Corporation.

+    <title>Using the Yocto Project in a Team Environment</title>
+
+    <para>
+        It might not be immediately clear how you can use the Yocto
+        Project in a team environment, or scale it for a large team of
+        developers.
+        One of the strengths of the Yocto Project is that it is extremely
+        flexible.
+        Thus, you can adapt it to many different use cases and scenarios.
+        However, these characteristics can cause a struggle if you are trying
+        to create a working setup that scales across a large team.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        To help with these types of situations, this section presents
+        some of the project's most successful experiences,
+        practices, solutions, and available technologies that work well.
+        Keep in mind, the information here is a starting point.
+        You can build off it and customize it to fit any
+        particular working environment and set of practices.

+            Systems across a large team should meet the needs of
+            two types of developers: those working on the contents of the
+            operating system image itself and those developing applications.
+            Regardless of the type of developer, their workstations must
+            be both reasonably powerful and run Linux.

+                        stack.

+
+            <para>
+                For core system development, it is often best to have the
+                build system itself available on the developer workstations
+                so developers can run their own builds and directly
+                rebuild the software stack.
+                You should keep the core system unchanged as much as
+                possible and do your work in layers on top of the core system.
+                Doing so gives you a greater level of portability when
+                upgrading to new versions of the core system or Board
+                Support Packages (BSPs).
+                You can share layers amongst the developers of a particular
+                project and contain the policy configuration that defines
+                the project.

+        From the interface, you can click on any particular item in the "Name" column and
+        see the URL at the bottom of the page that you need to clone a Git repository for
+        that particular item.
+        Having a local Git repository of the Source Directory (poky) allows you to

+        and use them within the Yocto Project environment.
+        All that is required is a particular release of the Yocto Project and
+        your application source code.

+                For example, downloading and unpacking <filename>&YOCTO_POKY_TARBALL;</filename>
+                results in a Source Directory whose top-level folder is named

+                the top-level folder of the local copy of the poky Git repository.
+                So, for example, cloning the <filename>poky</filename> Git repository results in a

+                Any changes you make to your local files in the Source Directory are on top of the release.
+                On the other hand, when you clone the <filename>poky</filename> Git repository, you have an
+                active development repository.
+                In this case, any local changes you make to the Source Directory can be later applied

+            Git repositories use branching techniques that track content change (not files)
+            within a project (e.g. a new feature or updated documentation).
+            Creating a tree-like structure based on project divergence allows for excellent historical

+            This methodology also allows for an environment from which you can do lots of

+            It is important to understand that Git tracks content change and not files.
+            Git uses "branches" to organize different development efforts.
+            For example, the <filename>poky</filename> repository has

+            <filename>dylan</filename>, <filename>dora</filename>,
+            and <filename>master</filename> branches among others.
+            You can see all the branches by going to
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi/poky/'></ulink> and

+
+        <para>
+            Each of these branches represents a specific area of development.
+            The <filename>master</filename> branch represents the current or most recent

+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            When you create a local copy of a Git repository, the copy has the same set
+            of branches as the original.
+            This means you can use Git to create a local working area (also called a branch)
+            that tracks a specific development branch from the source Git repository.
+            in other words, you can define your local Git environment to work on any development
+            branch in the repository.
+            To help illustrate, here is a set of commands that creates a local copy of the
+            <filename>poky</filename> Git repository and then creates and checks out a local
+            Git branch that tracks the Yocto Project &DISTRO; Release (&DISTRO_NAME;) development:

+     $ cd poky
+     $ git checkout -b &DISTRO_NAME; origin/&DISTRO_NAME;
+            </literallayout>
+            In this example, the name of the top-level directory of your local
+            <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>
+            is <filename>poky</filename>,
+            and the name of that local working area (local branch) you just
+            created and checked out is <filename>&DISTRO_NAME;</filename>.
+            The files in your local repository now reflect the same files that
+            are in the <filename>&DISTRO_NAME;</filename> development
+            branch of the Yocto Project's <filename>poky</filename>
+            upstream repository.
+            It is important to understand that when you create and checkout a
+            local working branch based on a branch name,
+            your local environment matches the "tip" of that development branch
+            at the time you created your local branch, which could be
+            different from the files at the time of a similarly named release.
+            In other words, creating and checking out a local branch based on the
+            <filename>&DISTRO_NAME;</filename> branch name is not the same as
+            cloning and checking out the <filename>master</filename> branch.

+            Git uses "tags" to mark specific changes in a repository.
+            Typically, a tag is used to mark a special point such as the final change
+            before a project is released.
+            You can see the tags used with the <filename>poky</filename> Git repository
+            by going to <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi/poky/'></ulink> and

+
+        <para>
+            Some key tags are <filename>bernard-5.0</filename>, <filename>denzil-7.0</filename>,

+            These tags represent Yocto Project releases.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            When you create a local copy of the Git repository, you also have access to all the
+            tags.
+            Similar to branches, you can create and checkout a local working Git branch based
+            on a tag name.
+            When you do this, you get a snapshot of the Git repository that reflects
+            the state of the files when the change was made associated with that tag.
+            The most common use is to checkout a working branch that matches a specific
+            Yocto Project release.
+            Here is an example:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd ~
+     $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
+     $ cd poky
+     $ git checkout -b my-&DISTRO_NAME;-&POKYVERSION; &DISTRO_NAME;-&POKYVERSION;
+            </literallayout>
+            In this example, the name of the top-level directory of your local Yocto Project
+            Files Git repository is <filename>poky</filename>.
+            And, the name of the local branch you have created and checked out is
+            <filename>my-&DISTRO_NAME;-&POKYVERSION;</filename>.
+            The files in your repository now exactly match the Yocto Project &DISTRO;
+            Release tag (<filename>&DISTRO_NAME;-&POKYVERSION;</filename>).
+            It is important to understand that when you create and checkout a local
+            working branch based on a tag, your environment matches a specific point
+            in time and not the entire development branch.

+
+        <para>
+            Git has an extensive set of commands that lets you manage changes and perform
+            collaboration over the life of a project.
+            Conveniently though, you can manage with a small set of basic operations and workflows
+            once you understand the basic philosophy behind Git.
+            You do not have to be an expert in Git to be functional.
+            A good place to look for instruction on a minimal set of Git commands is

+            The following list briefly describes some basic Git operations as a way to get started.
+            As with any set of commands, this list (in most cases) simply shows the base command and
+            omits the many arguments they support.
+            See the Git documentation for complete descriptions and strategies on how to use these commands:

+                    Commits are used for historical purposes, for determining if a maintainer of a project
+                    will allow the change, and for ultimately pushing the change from your local Git repository
+                    into the project’s upstream (or master) repository.</para></listitem>

+    <title>Workflows</title>
+
+    <para>
+        This section provides some overview on workflows using Git.
+        In particular, the information covers basic practices that describe roles and actions in a
+        collaborative development environment.
+        Again, if you are familiar with this type of development environment, you might want to just
+        skip this section.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The Yocto Project files are maintained using Git in a "master" branch whose Git history
+        tracks every change and whose structure provides branches for all diverging functionality.
+        Although there is no need to use Git, many open source projects do so.
+        For the Yocto Project, a key individual called the "maintainer" is responsible for the "master"
+        branch of a given Git repository.
+        The "master" branch is the “upstream” repository where the final builds of the project occur.
+        The maintainer is responsible for allowing changes in from other developers and for
+        organizing the underlying branch structure to reflect release strategies and so forth.
+        <note>For information on finding out who is responsible (maintains)
+            for a particular area of code, see the
+            "<link linkend='how-to-submit-a-change'>How to Submit a Change</link>"
+            section.
+        </note>
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The project also has contribution repositories known as "contrib" areas.
+        These areas temporarily hold changes to the project that have been submitted or committed
+        by the Yocto Project development team and by community members that contribute to the project.
+        The maintainer determines if the changes are qualified to be moved from the "contrib" areas
+        into the "master" branch of the Git repository.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Developers (including contributing community members) create and maintain cloned repositories
+        of the upstream "master" branch.
+        These repositories are local to their development platforms and are used to develop changes.
+        When a developer is satisfied with a particular feature or change, they "push" the changes
+        to the appropriate "contrib" repository.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Developers are responsible for keeping their local repository up-to-date with "master".
+        They are also responsible for straightening out any conflicts that might arise within files
+        that are being worked on simultaneously by more than one person.
+        All this work is done locally on the developer’s machines before anything is pushed to a
+        "contrib" area and examined at the maintainer’s level.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        A somewhat formal method exists by which developers commit changes and push them into the
+        "contrib" area and subsequently request that the maintainer include them into "master"
+        This process is called “submitting a patch” or "submitting a change."
+        For information on submitting patches and changes, see the
+        "<link linkend='how-to-submit-a-change'>How to Submit a Change</link>" section.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        To summarize the environment:  we have a single point of entry for changes into the project’s
+        "master" branch of the Git repository, which is controlled by the project’s maintainer.
+        And, we have a set of developers who independently develop, test, and submit changes
+        to "contrib" areas for the maintainer to examine.
+        The maintainer then chooses which changes are going to become a permanent part of the project.

+        While each development environment is unique, there are some best practices or methods
+        that help development run smoothly.
+        The following list describes some of these practices.
+        For more information about Git workflows, see the workflow topics in the
+        <ulink url='http://book.git-scm.com'>Git Community Book</ulink>.
+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem><para><emphasis>Make Small Changes:</emphasis> It is best to keep the changes you commit
+                small as compared to bundling many disparate changes into a single commit.
+                This practice not only keeps things manageable but also allows the maintainer
+                to more easily include or refuse changes.</para>
+                <para>It is also good practice to leave the repository in a state that allows you to
+                still successfully build your project.  In other words, do not commit half of a feature,
+                then add the other half as a separate, later commit.
+                Each commit should take you from one buildable project state to another
+                buildable state.</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para><emphasis>Use Branches Liberally:</emphasis> It is very easy to create, use, and
+                delete local branches in your working Git repository.
+                You can name these branches anything you like.
+                It is helpful to give them names associated with the particular feature or change
+                on which you are working.
+                Once you are done with a feature or change and have merged it
+                into your local master branch, simply discard the temporary
+                branch.</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para><emphasis>Merge Changes:</emphasis> The <filename>git merge</filename>
+                command allows you to take the
+                changes from one branch and fold them into another branch.
+                This process is especially helpful when more than a single developer might be working
+                on different parts of the same feature.
+                Merging changes also automatically identifies any collisions or "conflicts"
+                that might happen as a result of the same lines of code being altered by two different
+                developers.</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para><emphasis>Manage Branches:</emphasis> Because branches are easy to use, you should
+                use a system where branches indicate varying levels of code readiness.
+                For example, you can have a "work" branch to develop in, a "test" branch where the code or
+                change is tested, a "stage" branch where changes are ready to be committed, and so forth.
+                As your project develops, you can merge code across the branches to reflect ever-increasing
+                stable states of the development.</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para><emphasis>Use Push and Pull:</emphasis> The push-pull workflow is based on the
+                concept of developers "pushing" local commits to a remote repository, which is
+                usually a contribution repository.
+                This workflow is also based on developers "pulling" known states of the project down into their
+                local development repositories.
+                The workflow easily allows you to pull changes submitted by other developers from the
+                upstream repository into your work area ensuring that you have the most recent software
+                on which to develop.
+                The Yocto Project has two scripts named <filename>create-pull-request</filename> and
+                <filename>send-pull-request</filename> that ship with the release to facilitate this
+                workflow.
+                You can find these scripts in the <filename>scripts</filename>
+                folder of the
+                <link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link>.
+                For information on how to use these scripts, see the
+                "<link linkend='pushing-a-change-upstream'>Using Scripts to Push a Change Upstream and Request a Pull</link>" section.
+                </para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para><emphasis>Patch Workflow:</emphasis> This workflow allows you to notify the
+                maintainer through an email that you have a change (or patch) you would like considered
+                for the "master" branch of the Git repository.
+                To send this type of change, you format the patch and then send the email using the Git commands
+                <filename>git format-patch</filename> and <filename>git send-email</filename>.
+                For information on how to use these scripts, see the

+        In a collaborative environment, it is necessary to have some sort of standard
+        or method through which you submit changes.
+        Otherwise, things could get quite chaotic.
+        One general practice to follow is to make small, controlled changes.
+        Keeping changes small and isolated aids review, makes merging/rebasing easier
+        and keeps the change history clean when anyone needs to refer to it in future.

+
+    <para>
+        When you make a commit, you must follow certain standards established by the
+        OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project development teams.
+        For each commit, you must provide a single-line summary of the change and you
+        should almost always provide a more detailed description of what you did (i.e.
+        the body of the commit message).
+        The only exceptions for not providing a detailed description would be if your
+        change is a simple, self-explanatory change that needs no further description
+        beyond the summary.
+        Here are the guidelines for composing a commit message:
+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem><para>Provide a single-line, short summary of the change.
+                This summary is typically viewable in the "shortlist" of changes.
+                Thus, providing something short and descriptive that gives the reader
+                a summary of the change is useful when viewing a list of many commits.
+                This short description should be prefixed by the recipe name (if changing a recipe), or
+                else the short form path to the file being changed.
+                </para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para>For the body of the commit message, provide detailed information
+                that describes what you changed, why you made the change, and the approach
+                you used. It may also be helpful if you mention how you tested the change.
+                Provide as much detail as you can in the body of the commit message.
+                </para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para>If the change addresses a specific bug or issue that is
+                associated with a bug-tracking ID, include a reference to that ID in
+                your detailed description.
+                For example, the Yocto Project uses a specific convention for bug
+                references - any commit that addresses a specific bug should include the
+                bug ID in the description (typically at the beginning) as follows:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     [YOCTO #&lt;bug-id&gt;]
+
+     &lt;detailed description of change&gt;

+                Where &lt;bug-id&gt; is replaced with the specific bug ID from the

+    <title>Introducing the Yocto Project</title>
+
+    <para>
+        The Yocto Project is an open-source collaboration project focused on embedded Linux development.
+        The project currently provides a build system that is
+        referred to as the OpenEmbedded build system in the Yocto Project documentation.
+        The Yocto Project provides various ancillary tools for the embedded developer
+        and also features the Sato reference User Interface, which is optimized for
+        stylus driven, low-resolution screens.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        You can use the OpenEmbedded build system, which uses
+        BitBake, to develop complete Linux
+        images and associated user-space applications for architectures based
+        on ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, x86 and x86-64.
+        <note>
+            By default, using the Yocto Project creates a Poky distribution.
+            However, you can create your own distribution by providing key

+                openSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS as these releases are frequently tested against the Yocto Project
+                and officially supported.

+    <title>Using Pre-Built Binaries and QEMU</title>
+
+    <para>
+        Another option you have to get started is to use pre-built binaries.
+        The Yocto Project provides many types of binaries with each release.
+        See the "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-images'>Images</ulink>"
+        chapter in the Yocto Project Reference Manual
+        for descriptions of the types of binaries that ship with a Yocto Project
+        release.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Using a pre-built binary is ideal for developing software applications to run on your
+        target hardware.
+        To do this, you need to be able to access the appropriate cross-toolchain tarball for
+        the architecture on which you are developing.
+        If you are using an SDK type image, the image ships with the complete toolchain native to
+        the architecture.
+        If you are not using an SDK type image, you need to separately download and
+        install the stand-alone Yocto Project cross-toolchain tarball.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Regardless of the type of image you are using, you need to download the pre-built kernel
+        that you will boot in the QEMU emulator and then download and extract the target root
+        filesystem for your target machine’s architecture.
+        You can get architecture-specific binaries and file systems from
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_MACHINES_DL_URL;'>machines</ulink>.
+        You can get installation scripts for stand-alone toolchains from
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'>toolchains</ulink>.
+        Once you have all your files, you set up the environment to emulate the hardware
+        by sourcing an environment setup script.
+        Finally, you start the QEMU emulator.
+        You can find details on all these steps in the
+        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;#using-pre-built'>Using Pre-Built Binaries and QEMU</ulink>"
+        section of the Yocto Project Quick Start.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Using QEMU to emulate your hardware can result in speed issues
+        depending on the target and host architecture mix.
+        For example, using the <filename>qemux86</filename> image in the emulator
+        on an Intel-based 32-bit (x86) host machine is fast because the target and
+        host architectures match.
+        On the other hand, using the <filename>qemuarm</filename> image on the same Intel-based
+        host can be slower.
+        But, you still achieve faithful emulation of ARM-specific issues.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        To speed things up, the QEMU images support using <filename>distcc</filename>
+        to call a cross-compiler outside the emulated system.
+        If you used <filename>runqemu</filename> to start QEMU, and the
+        <filename>distccd</filename> application is present on the host system, any
+        BitBake cross-compiling toolchain available from the build system is automatically
+        used from within QEMU simply by calling <filename>distcc</filename>.
+        You can accomplish this by defining the cross-compiler variable
+        (e.g. <filename>export CC="distcc"</filename>).
+        Alternatively, if you are using a suitable SDK image or the appropriate
+        stand-alone toolchain is present,
+        the toolchain is also automatically used.
+    </para>
+
+    <note>
+        Several mechanisms exist that let you connect to the system running on the
+        QEMU emulator:
+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem><para>QEMU provides a framebuffer interface that makes standard
+                consoles available.</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para>Generally, headless embedded devices have a serial port.
+                If so, you can configure the operating system of the running image
+                to use that port to run a console.
+                The connection uses standard IP networking.</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para>SSH servers exist in some QEMU images.
+                The <filename>core-image-sato</filename> QEMU image has a Dropbear secure
+                shell (SSH) server that runs with the root password disabled.
+                The <filename>core-image-basic</filename> and <filename>core-image-lsb</filename> QEMU images
+                have OpenSSH instead of Dropbear.
+                Including these SSH servers allow you to use standard <filename>ssh</filename> and
+                <filename>scp</filename> commands.
+                The <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> QEMU image, however, contains no SSH
+                server.</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para>You can use a provided, user-space NFS server to boot the QEMU session
+                using a local copy of the root filesystem on the host.
+                In order to make this connection, you must extract a root filesystem tarball by using the
+                <filename>runqemu-extract-sdk</filename> command.
+                After running the command, you must then point the <filename>runqemu</filename>
+                script to the extracted directory instead of a root filesystem image file.</para></listitem>

+    <title>Overview</title>
+
+    <para>
+        In addition to supporting configuration fragments and patches, the
+        Yocto Project kernel tools also support rich
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink> that you can
+        use to define complex policies and Board Support Package (BSP) support.
+        The purpose of the Metadata and the tools that manage it, known as
+        the kern-tools (<filename>kern-tools-native_git.bb</filename>), is
+        to help you manage the complexity of the configuration and sources
+        used to support multiple BSPs and Linux kernel types.
+    </para>
+</section>
+
+<section id='using-kernel-metadata-in-a-recipe'>
+    <title>Using Kernel Metadata in a Recipe</title>
+
+    <para>
+        The kernel sources in the Yocto Project contain kernel Metadata, which is
+        located in the <filename>meta</filename> branches of the kernel source
+        Git repositories.
+        This Metadata defines Board Support Packages (BSPs) that
+        correspond to definitions in linux-yocto recipes for the same BSPs.
+        A BSP consists of an aggregation of kernel policy and hardware-specific
+        feature enablements.
+        The BSP can be influenced from within the linux-yocto recipe.
+        <note>
+            Linux kernel source that contains kernel Metadata is said to be
+            "linux-yocto style" kernel source.
+            A Linux kernel recipe that inherits from the
+            <filename>linux-yocto.inc</filename> include file is said to be a
+            "linux-yocto style" recipe.
+        </note>
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Every linux-yocto style recipe must define the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KMACHINE'><filename>KMACHINE</filename></ulink>
+        variable.
+        This variable is typically set to the same value as the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></ulink>
+        variable, which is used by BitBake (e.g. "routerstationpro" or "fri2").
+        Multiple BSPs can reuse the same <filename>KMACHINE</filename>
+        name if they are built using the same BSP description.
+        The "fri2" and "fri2-noemgd" BSP combination
+        in the <filename>meta-intel</filename>
+        layer is a good example of two BSPs using the same
+        <filename>KMACHINE</filename> value (i.e. "fri2").
+        See the <link linkend='bsp-descriptions'>BSP Descriptions</link> section
+        for more information.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The linux-yocto style recipes can optionally define the following
+        variables:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KBRANCH'>KBRANCH</ulink>
+     <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KERNEL_FEATURES'>KERNEL_FEATURES</ulink>
+     <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KBRANCH_DEFAULT'>KBRANCH_DEFAULT</ulink>
+     <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE'>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</ulink>
+        </literallayout>
+        <filename>KBRANCH_DEFAULT</filename> defines the Linux kernel source
+        repository's default branch to use to build the Linux kernel.
+        The value is used as the default for <filename>KBRANCH</filename>, which
+        can define an alternate branch typically with a machine override as
+        follows:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     KBRANCH_fri2 = "standard/fri2"
+        </literallayout>
+        Unless you specify otherwise, <filename>KBRANCH_DEFAULT</filename>
+        initializes to "master".
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        <filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename> defines the kernel type to be
+        used in assembling the configuration.
+        If you do not specify a <filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename>,
+        it defaults to "standard".
+        Together with
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KMACHINE'><filename>KMACHINE</filename></ulink>,
+        <filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename> defines the search
+        arguments used by the kernel tools to find the
+        appropriate description within the kernel Metadata with which to
+        build out the sources and configuration.
+        The linux-yocto recipes define "standard", "tiny", and "preempt-rt"
+        kernel types.

+        Kernel Metadata can be defined in either the kernel recipe
+        (recipe-space) or in the kernel tree (in-tree).
+        Where you choose to define the Metadata depends on what you want
+        to do and how you intend to work.
+        Regardless of where you define the kernel Metadata, the syntax used
+        applies equally.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        If you are unfamiliar with the Linux kernel and only wish
+        to apply a configuration and possibly a couple of patches provided to
+        you by others, the recipe-space method is recommended.
+        This method is also a good approach if you are working with Linux kernel
+        sources you do not control or if you just do not want to maintain a
+        Linux kernel Git repository on your own.
+        For partial information on how you can define kernel Metadata in
+        the recipe-space, see the

+

+        Conversely, if you are actively developing a kernel and are already
+        maintaining a Linux kernel Git repository of your own, you might find
+        it more convenient to work with the kernel Metadata in the same
+        repository as the Linux kernel sources.
+        This method can make iterative development of the Linux kernel
+        more efficient outside of the BitBake environment.

+            <para>
+                <filename>scc</filename> stands for Series Configuration
+                Control, but the naming has less significance in the
+                current implementation of the tooling than it had in the
+                past.
+                Consider <filename>scc</filename> files to be description files.
+            </para>
+        </footnote>
+        description files, configuration fragments, and patches.
+        The <filename>scc</filename> files define variables and include or
+        otherwise reference any of the three file types.
+        The description files are used to aggregate all types of kernel
+        Metadata into
+        what ultimately describes the sources and the configuration required
+        to build a Linux kernel tailored to a specific machine.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The <filename>scc</filename> description files are used to define two
+        fundamental types of kernel Metadata:

+            <listitem><para>Features</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para>Board Support Packages (BSPs)</para></listitem>
+        </itemizedlist>
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Features aggregate sources in the form of patches and configuration
+        fragments into a modular reusable unit.
+        You can use features to implement conceptually separate kernel
+        Metadata descriptions such as pure configuration fragments,
+        simple patches, complex features, and kernel types.
+        <link linkend='kernel-types'>Kernel types</link> define general

+
+    <para>
+        BSPs define hardware-specific features and aggregate them with kernel
+        types to form the final description of what will be assembled and built.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        While the kernel Metadata syntax does not enforce any logical
+        separation of configuration fragments, patches, features or kernel
+        types, best practices dictate a logical separation of these types
+        of Metadata.
+        The following Metadata file hierarchy is recommended:

+        The <filename>bsp</filename> directory contains the

+        <title>BSP Descriptions</title>
+
+        <para>
+            BSP descriptions combine kernel types with hardware-specific
+            features.
+            The hardware-specific portion is typically defined
+            independently, and then aggregated with each supported kernel
+            type.
+            Consider this simple BSP description that supports the "mybsp"
+            machine:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     mybsp.scc:
+        define KMACHINE mybsp
+        define KTYPE standard
+        define KARCH i386
+
+        kconf mybsp.cfg
+            </literallayout>
+            Every BSP description should define the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KMACHINE'><filename>KMACHINE</filename></ulink>,
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KTYPE'><filename>KTYPE</filename></ulink>,
+            and <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KARCH'><filename>KARCH</filename></ulink>
+            variables.
+            These variables allow the OpenEmbedded build system to identify
+            the description as meeting the criteria set by the recipe being
+            built.
+            This simple example supports the "mybsp" machine for the "standard"
+            kernel and the "i386" architecture.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Be aware that a hard link between the
+            <filename>KTYPE</filename> variable and a kernel type
+            description file does not exist.
+            Thus, if you do not have kernel types defined in your kernel
+            Metadata, you only need to ensure that the kernel recipe's
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE'><filename>LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE</filename></ulink>
+            variable and the <filename>KTYPE</filename> variable in the
+            BSP description file match.
+            <note>
+                Future versions of the tooling make the specification of
+                <filename>KTYPE</filename> in the BSP optional.
+            </note>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            If you did want to separate your kernel policy from your
+            hardware configuration, you could do so by specifying a kernel
+            type, such as "standard" and including that description file
+            in the BSP description file.
+            See the "<link linkend='kernel-types'>Kernel Types</link>" section
+            for more information.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            You might also have multiple hardware configurations that you
+            aggregate into a single hardware description file that you
+            could include in the BSP description file, rather than referencing
+            a single <filename>.cfg</filename> file.
+            Consider the following:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     mybsp.scc:
+        define KMACHINE mybsp
+        define KTYPE standard
+        define KARCH i386
+
+        include standard.scc
+        include mybsp-hw.scc
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            In the above example, <filename>standard.scc</filename>
+            aggregates all the configuration fragments, patches, and
+            features that make up your standard kernel policy whereas
+            <filename>mybsp-hw.scc</filename> aggregates all those necessary
+            to support the hardware available on the "mybsp" machine.
+            For information on how to break a complete
+            <filename>.config</filename> file into the various
+            configuration fragments, see the
+            "<link linkend='generating-configuration-files'>Generating Configuration Files</link>"
+            section.

+
+        <para>
+            Many real-world examples are more complex.
+            Like any other <filename>.scc</filename> file, BSP
+            descriptions can aggregate features.
+            Consider the Fish River Island 2 (fri2)
+            BSP definition from the <filename>linux-yocto-3.4</filename>
+            Git repository:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     fri2.scc:

+        include cfg/dmaengine.scc
+        include features/ericsson-3g/f5521gw.scc
+        include features/power/intel.scc
+        include cfg/efi.scc
+        include features/usb/ehci-hcd.scc
+        include features/usb/ohci-hcd.scc
+        include features/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.scc
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The <filename>fri2.scc</filename> description file includes
+            a hardware configuration fragment
+            (<filename>fri2.cfg</filename>) specific to the Fish River
+            Island 2 BSP as well as several more general configuration
+            fragments and features enabling hardware found on the
+            machine.
+            This description file is then included in each of the three
+            "fri2" description files for the supported kernel types
+            (i.e. "standard", "preempt-rt", and "tiny").
+            Consider the "fri2" description for the "standard" kernel
+            type:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     fri2-standard.scc:

+        define KTYPE standard
+        define KARCH i386

+        include ktypes/standard/standard.scc
+        branch fri2
+
+        git merge emgd-1.14

+
+        # default policy for standard kernels
+        include cfg/usb-mass-storage.scc
+            </literallayout>
+            The <filename>include</filename> command midway through the file
+            includes the <filename>fri2.scc</filename> description that
+            defines all hardware enablements for the BSP that is common to all
+            kernel types.
+            Using this command significantly reduces duplication.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            This "fri2" standard description introduces a few more variables
+            and commands that are worth further discussion.
+            Notice the <filename>branch fri2</filename> command, which creates
+            a machine-specific branch into which source changes are applied.
+            With this branch set up, the <filename>git merge</filename> command
+            uses Git to merge in a feature branch named "emgd-1.14".
+            You could also handle this with the <filename>patch</filename>
+            command.
+            However, for commonly used features such as this, feature branches
+            are a convenient mechanism.
+            See the "<link linkend='feature-branches'>Feature Branches</link>"
+            section for more information.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Now consider the "fri2" description for the "tiny" kernel type:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     fri2-tiny.scc:

+        branch fri2
+
+        include fri2.scc
+            </literallayout>
+            As you might expect, the "tiny" description includes quite a
+            bit less.
+            In fact, it includes only the minimal policy defined by the
+            "tiny" kernel type and the hardware-specific configuration required
+            for booting the machine along with the most basic functionality of
+            the system as defined in the base "fri2" description file.
+        </para>
+

+            and <filename>KARCH</filename>.
+            Of these variables, only the <filename>KTYPE</filename> has changed.

+
+    <para>
+        Many recipes based on the <filename>linux-yocto-custom.bb</filename>
+        recipe use Linux kernel sources that have only a single
+        branch - "master".
+        This type of repository structure is fine for linear development
+        supporting a single machine and architecture.
+        However, if you work with multiple boards and architectures,
+        a kernel source repository with multiple branches is more
+        efficient.
+        For example, suppose you need a series of patches for one board to boot.
+        Sometimes, these patches are works-in-progress or fundamentally wrong,
+        yet they are still necessary for specific boards.
+        In these situations, you most likely do not want to include these
+        patches in every kernel you build (i.e. have the patches as part of
+        the lone "master" branch).

+            If you find
+            yourself with numerous branches, you might consider using a
+            hierarchical branching system similar to what the linux-yocto Linux
+            kernel repositories use:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     &lt;common&gt;/&lt;kernel_type&gt;/&lt;machine&gt;
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            If you had two kernel types, "standard" and "small" for
+            instance, and three machines, the branches in your
+            Git repository might look like this:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     common/base
+     common/standard/base
+     common/standard/machine_a
+     common/standard/machine_b
+     common/standard/machine_c
+     common/small/base
+     common/small/machine_a
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            This organization can help clarify the branch relationships.
+            In this case, <filename>common/standard/machine_a</filename>
+            includes everything in <filename>common/base</filename> and
+            <filename>common/standard/base</filename>.
+            The "standard" and "small" branches add sources specific to those
+            kernel types that for whatever reason are not appropriate for the
+            other branches.
+            <note>The "base" branches are an artifact of the way Git manages
+                its data internally on the filesystem: Git will not allow you
+                to use <filename>common/standard</filename> and
+                <filename>common/standard/machine_a</filename> because it
+                would have to create a file and a directory named "standard".

+<para>
+    This chapter presents several common tasks you perform when you
+    work with the Yocto Project Linux kernel.
+    These tasks include preparing a layer, modifying an existing recipe,
+    iterative development, working with your own sources, and incorporating
+    out-of-tree modules.

+
+        <para>
+            If you are going to be modifying kernel recipes, it is recommended
+            that you create and prepare your own layer in which to do your
+            work.
+            Your layer contains its own BitBake append files
+            (<filename>.bbappend</filename>) and provides a convenient
+            mechanism to create your own recipe files
+            (<filename>.bb</filename>).
+            For details on how to create and work with layers, see the following

+        <para>
+            In many cases, you can customize an existing linux-yocto recipe to
+            meet the needs of your project.
+            Each release of the Yocto Project provides a few Linux
+            kernel recipes from which you can choose.
+            These are located in the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>

+            Before modifying an existing recipe, be sure that you have created
+            a minimal, custom layer from which you can work.
+            See the "<link linkend='creating-and-preparing-a-layer'>Creating and Preparing a Layer</link>"
+            section for some general resources.

+                You create this file in your custom layer.
+                You also name it accordingly based on the linux-yocto recipe
+                you are using.
+                For example, if you are modifying the
+                <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.4.bb</filename>
+                recipe, the append file will typical be located as follows

+                </literallayout>
+                The append file should initially extend the

+                search path by prepending the directory that contains your

+                expands to "linux-yocto" in the current directory for this
+                example.
+                If you add any new files that modify the kernel recipe and you
+                have extended <filename>FILESPATH</filename> as

+                If you have a single patch or a small series of patches
+                that you want to apply to the Linux kernel source, you
+                can do so just as you would with any other recipe.
+                You first copy the patches to the path added to
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESEXTRAPATHS'><filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename></ulink>
+                in your <filename>.bbappend</filename> file as described in
+                the previous section, and then reference them in

+                statements.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                For example, you can apply a three-patch series by adding the

+                The next time you run BitBake to build the Linux kernel, BitBake
+                detects the change in the recipe and fetches and applies the patches
+                before building the kernel.

+                You can make wholesale or incremental changes to the Linux
+                kernel <filename>.config</filename> file by including a

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                If you have a final Linux kernel <filename>.config</filename>
+                file you want to use, copy it to a directory named
+                <filename>files</filename>, which must be in
+                your layer's <filename>recipes-kernel/linux</filename>
+                directory, and name the file "defconfig".
+                Then, add the following lines to your linux-yocto

+                </literallayout>
+                The <filename>SRC_URI</filename> tells the build system how to
+                search for the file, while the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILESEXTRAPATHS'><filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename></ulink>
+                extends the

+                variable (search directories) to include the

+            </para>
+

+                The build system applies the configurations from the

+                subsequent configuration fragments.
+                The final kernel configuration is a combination of the
+                configurations in the <filename>.config</filename> file and
+                any configuration fragments you provide.
+                You need to realize that if you have any configuration
+                fragments, the build system applies these on top of and
+                after applying the existing <filename>.config</filename>
+                file configurations.
+            </note>
+
+            <para>
+                Generally speaking, the preferred approach is to determine the
+                incremental change you want to make and add that as a
+                configuration fragment.
+                For example, if you want to add support for a basic serial
+                console, create a file named <filename>8250.cfg</filename> in
+                the <filename>files</filename> directory with the following
+                content (without indentation):
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y
+     CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y

+     CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=4
+     CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
+     CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
+                </literallayout>
+                Next, include this configuration fragment and extend the
+                <filename>FILESPATH</filename> variable in your
+                <filename>.bbappend</filename> file:

+     FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
+     SRC_URI += "file://8250.cfg"
+                </literallayout>
+                The next time you run BitBake to build the Linux kernel, BitBake
+                detects the change in the recipe and fetches and applies the

+                If kernel images are being built with "-dirty" on the

+                used to build a linux-yocto recipe with the

+     $ bitbake linux-yocto -c menuconfig

+                This command starts the Linux kernel configuration tool,
+                which allows you to prepare a new
+                <filename>.config</filename> file for the build.
+                When you exit the tool, be sure to save your changes

+                A better method is to create a configuration fragment using the

+                Ultimately, the configuration fragment file needs to be a
+                list of Linux kernel <filename>CONFIG_</filename> assignments.
+                It cannot be in <filename>diff</filename> format.
+                Here is an example of a command that creates your
+                configuration fragment file.
+                Regardless of the exact command you use, plan on reviewing
+                the output as you can usually remove some of the defaults:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ diff -Nurp config.orig .config | sed -n "s/^\+//p" > frag.cfg

+                configuration fragment.
+                <note>
+                    You can also use this method to create configuration
+                    fragments for a BSP.
+                    See the "<link linkend='bsp-descriptions'>BSP Descriptions</link>"

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The kernel tools also provide configuration validation.
+                You can use these tools to produce warnings for when a
+                requested configuration does not appear in the final
+                <filename>.config</filename> file or when you override a
+                policy configuration in a hardware configuration fragment.
+                Here is an example with some sample output of the command

+            <para>
+                You can experiment with source code changes and create a
+                simple patch without leaving the BitBake environment.
+                To get started, be sure to complete a build at
+                least through the kernel configuration task:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake linux-yocto -c kernel_configme -f
+                </literallayout>
+                Taking this step ensures you have the sources prepared
+                and the configuration completed.
+                You can find the sources in the
+                <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></ulink><filename>}/linux</filename> directory.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                You can edit the sources as you would any other Linux source
+                tree.
+                However, keep in mind that you will lose changes if you
+                trigger the <filename>fetch</filename> task for the recipe.
+                You can avoid triggering this task by not issuing BitBake's
+                <filename>cleanall</filename>, <filename>cleansstate</filename>,
+                or forced <filename>fetch</filename> commands.
+                Also, do not modify the recipe itself while working
+                with temporary changes or BitBake might run the
+                <filename>fetch</filename> command depending on the
+                changes to the recipe.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                To test your temporary changes, instruct BitBake to run the
+                <filename>compile</filename> again.
+                The <filename>-f</filename> option forces the command to run
+                even though BitBake might think it has already done so:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake linux-yocto -c compile -f
+                </literallayout>
+                If the compile fails, you can update the sources and repeat
+                the <filename>compile</filename>.
+                Once compilation is successful, you can inspect and test
+                the resulting build (i.e. kernel, modules, and so forth) from
+                the <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     ${WORKDIR}/linux-${MACHINE}-${KTYPE}-build
+                </literallayout>
+                Alternatively, you can run the <filename>deploy</filename>
+                command to place the kernel image in the
+                <filename>tmp/deploy/images</filename> directory:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+        $ bitbake linux-yocto -c deploy
+                </literallayout>
+                And, of course, you can perform the remaining installation and
+                packaging steps by issuing:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+        $ bitbake linux-yocto
+                </literallayout>
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                For rapid iterative development, the edit-compile-repeat loop
+                described in this section is preferable to rebuilding the
+                entire recipe because the installation and packaging tasks
+                are very time consuming.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Once you are satisfied with your source code modifications,
+                you can make them permanent by generating patches and

+            While it is always preferable to work with sources integrated
+            into the Linux kernel sources, if you need an external kernel
+            module, the <filename>hello-mod.bb</filename> recipe is available
+            as a template from which you can create your own out-of-tree
+            Linux kernel module recipe.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            This template recipe is located in the

+
+        <para>
+            To get started, copy this recipe to your layer and give it a
+            meaningful name (e.g. <filename>mymodule_1.0.bb</filename>).
+            In the same directory, create a directory named
+            <filename>files</filename> where you can store any source files,
+            patches, or other files necessary for building
+            the module that do not come with the sources.
+            Finally, update the recipe as appropriate for the module.
+            Typically you will need to set the following variables:
+            <itemizedlist>
+                <listitem><para><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DESCRIPTION'><filename>DESCRIPTION</filename></ulink>

+
+        <para>
+            Depending on the build system used by the module sources, you might
+            need to make some adjustments.
+            For example, a typical module <filename>Makefile</filename> looks
+            much like the one provided with the <filename>hello-mod</filename>
+            template:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     obj-m := hello.o
+
+     SRC := $(shell pwd)
+
+     all:
+         $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_SRC) M=$(SRC)
+
+     modules_install:
+         $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_SRC) M=$(SRC) modules_install
+     ...
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The important point to note here is the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KERNEL_SRC'><filename>KERNEL_SRC</filename></ulink>
+            variable.
+            The class <filename>module.bbclass</filename> sets this variable,
+            as well as the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KERNEL_PATH'><filename>KERNEL_PATH</filename></ulink>
+            variable to

+            with the necessary Linux kernel build information to build modules.
+            If your module <filename>Makefile</filename> uses a different
+            variable, you might want to override the
+            <filename>do_compile()</filename> step, or create a patch to
+            the <filename>Makefile</filename> to work with the more typical
+            <filename>KERNEL_SRC</filename> or <filename>KERNEL_PATH</filename>
+            variables.

+            After you have prepared your recipe, you will likely want to
+            include the module in your images.
+            To do this, see the documentation for the following variables in
+            the Yocto Project Reference Manual and set one of them as
+            appropriate in your machine configuration file:
+            <itemizedlist>

+            modules are often not required for boot and can be excluded from

+            The following allows for the most flexibility:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS += "kernel-module-mymodule"
+            </literallayout>

+        </para>
+

+
+        <para>
+            A common question when working with a kernel is:
+            "What changes have been applied to this tree?"
+            Rather than using "grep" across directories to see what has
+            changed, you can use Git to inspect or search the kernel tree.
+            Using Git is an efficient way to see what has changed in the tree.

+                Following are a few examples that show how to use Git
+                commands to examine changes.
+                These examples are by no means the only way to see changes.
+                <note>
+                    In the following examples, unless you provide a commit
+                    range, <filename>kernel.org</filename> history is blended
+                    with Yocto Project kernel changes.
+                    You can form ranges by using branch names from the
+                    kernel tree as the upper and lower commit markers with
+                    the Git commands.
+                    You can see the branch names through the web interface
+                    to the Yocto Project source repositories at
+                    <ulink url='http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi'></ulink>.
+                </note>
+                To see a full range of the changes, use the
+                <filename>git whatchanged</filename> command and specify a
+                commit range for the branch
+                (<filename>&lt;commit&gt;..&lt;commit&gt;</filename>).
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Here is an example that looks at what has changed in the

+                <filename>linux-yocto-3.4</filename> kernel.
+                The lower commit range is the commit associated with the
+                <filename>standard/base</filename> branch, while
+                the upper commit range is the commit associated with the

+        <title>Yocto Project Kernel Development and Maintenance</title>
+        <para>
+            Kernels available through the Yocto Project, like other kernels, are based off the Linux
+            kernel releases from <ulink url='http://www.kernel.org'></ulink>.
+            At the beginning of a major development cycle, the Yocto Project team
+            chooses its kernel based on factors such as release timing, the anticipated release
+            timing of final upstream <filename>kernel.org</filename> versions, and Yocto Project
+            feature requirements.
+            Typically, the kernel chosen is in the
+            final stages of development by the community.
+            In other words, the kernel is in the release
+            candidate or "rc" phase and not yet a final release.
+            But, by being in the final stages of external development, the team knows that the
+            <filename>kernel.org</filename> final release will clearly be within the early stages of
+            the Yocto Project development window.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            This balance allows the team to deliver the most up-to-date kernel
+            possible, while still ensuring that the team has a stable official release for
+            the baseline Linux kernel version.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            The ultimate source for kernels available through the Yocto Project are released kernels
+            from <filename>kernel.org</filename>.
+            In addition to a foundational kernel from <filename>kernel.org</filename>, the
+            kernels available contain a mix of important new mainline
+            developments, non-mainline developments (when there is no alternative),
+            Board Support Package (BSP) developments,
+            and custom features.
+            These additions result in a commercially released Yocto Project Linux kernel that caters
+            to specific embedded designer needs for targeted hardware.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            Once a kernel is officially released, the Yocto Project team goes into
+            their next development cycle, or upward revision (uprev) cycle, while still
+            continuing maintenance on the released kernel.
+            It is important to note that the most sustainable and stable way
+            to include feature development upstream is through a kernel uprev process.
+            Back-porting hundreds of individual fixes and minor features from various
+            kernel versions is not sustainable and can easily compromise quality.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            During the uprev cycle, the Yocto Project team uses an ongoing analysis of
+            kernel development, BSP support, and release timing to select the best
+            possible <filename>kernel.org</filename> version.
+            The team continually monitors community kernel
+            development to look for significant features of interest.
+            The team does consider back-porting large features if they have a significant advantage.
+            User or community demand can also trigger a back-port or creation of new
+            functionality in the Yocto Project baseline kernel during the uprev cycle.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            Generally speaking, every new kernel both adds features and introduces new bugs.
+            These consequences are the basic properties of upstream kernel development and are
+            managed by the Yocto Project team's kernel strategy.
+            It is the Yocto Project team's policy to not back-port minor features to the released kernel.
+            They only consider back-porting significant technological jumps - and, that is done
+            after a complete gap analysis.
+            The reason for this policy is that back-porting any small to medium sized change
+            from an evolving kernel can easily create mismatches, incompatibilities and very
+            subtle errors.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            These policies result in both a stable and a cutting
+            edge kernel that mixes forward ports of existing features and significant and critical
+            new functionality.
+            Forward porting functionality in the kernels available through the Yocto Project kernel
+            can be thought of as a "micro uprev."
+            The many “micro uprevs” produce a kernel version with a mix of
+            important new mainline, non-mainline, BSP developments and feature integrations.
+            This kernel gives insight into new features and allows focused
+            amounts of testing to be done on the kernel, which prevents
+            surprises when selecting the next major uprev.
+            The quality of these cutting edge kernels is evolving and the kernels are used in leading edge
+            feature and BSP development.

+                As mentioned earlier, a key goal of the Yocto Project is to present the
+                developer with
+                a kernel that has a clear and continuous history that is visible to the user.
+                The architecture and mechanisms used achieve that goal in a manner similar to the

+            </para>
+            <para>
+                You can think of a Yocto Project kernel as consisting of a baseline Linux kernel with
+                added features logically structured on top of the baseline.
+                The features are tagged and organized by way of a branching strategy implemented by the
+                source code manager (SCM) Git.
+                For information on Git as applied to the Yocto Project, see the

+                The result is that the user has the ability to see the added features and

+                From this point "up" in the tree, features and differences are organized and tagged.

+            <para>
+                The "Yocto Project Baseline Kernel" contains functionality that is common to every kernel
+                type and BSP that is organized further up the tree.
+                Placing these common features in the
+                tree this way means features do not have to be duplicated along individual branches of the
+                structure.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                From the Yocto Project Baseline Kernel, branch points represent specific functionality
+                for individual BSPs as well as real-time kernels.
+                The illustration represents this through three BSP-specific branches and a real-time
+                kernel branch.
+                Each branch represents some unique functionality for the BSP or a real-time kernel.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                In this example structure, the real-time kernel branch has common features for all

+                more branches for individual BSP-specific real-time kernels.
+                The illustration shows three branches as an example.
+                Each branch points the way to specific, unique features for a respective real-time

+                The resulting tree structure presents a clear path of markers (or branches) to the

+                of requirements.

+            <title>Branching Strategy and Workflow</title>
+            <para>
+                The Yocto Project team creates kernel branches at points where functionality is
+                no longer shared and thus, needs to be isolated.
+                For example, board-specific incompatibilities would require different functionality
+                and would require a branch to separate the features.
+                Likewise, for specific kernel features, the same branching strategy is used.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                This branching strategy results in a tree that has features organized to be specific
+                for particular functionality, single kernel types, or a subset of kernel types.
+                This strategy also results in not having to store the same feature twice
+                internally in the tree.
+                Rather, the kernel team stores the unique differences required to apply the
+                feature onto the kernel type in question.
+                <note>
+                    The Yocto Project team strives to place features in the tree such that they can be
+                    shared by all boards and kernel types where possible.
+                    However, during development cycles or when large features are merged,
+                    the team cannot always follow this practice.
+                    In those cases, the team uses isolated branches to merge features.
+                </note>
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                BSP-specific code additions are handled in a similar manner to kernel-specific additions.
+                Some BSPs only make sense given certain kernel types.
+                So, for these types, the team creates branches off the end of that kernel type for all
+                of the BSPs that are supported on that kernel type.
+                From the perspective of the tools that create the BSP branch, the BSP is really no
+                different than a feature.
+                Consequently, the same branching strategy applies to BSPs as it does to features.
+                So again, rather than store the BSP twice, the team only stores the unique
+                differences for the BSP across the supported multiple kernels.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                While this strategy can result in a tree with a significant number of branches, it is
+                important to realize that from the developer's point of view, there is a linear
+                path that travels from the baseline <filename>kernel.org</filename>, through a select
+                group of features and ends with their BSP-specific commits.
+                In other words, the divisions of the kernel are transparent and are not relevant
+                to the developer on a day-to-day basis.
+                From the developer's perspective, this path is the "master" branch.
+                The developer does not need to be aware of the existence of any other branches at all.
+                Of course, there is value in the existence of these branches
+                in the tree, should a person decide to explore them.
+                For example, a comparison between two BSPs at either the commit level or at the line-by-line
+                code <filename>diff</filename> level is now a trivial operation.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                Working with the kernel as a structured tree follows recognized community best practices.
+                In particular, the kernel as shipped with the product, should be
+                considered an "upstream source" and viewed as a series of
+                historical and documented modifications (commits).
+                These modifications represent the development and stabilization done
+                by the Yocto Project kernel development team.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                Because commits only change at significant release points in the product life cycle,
+                developers can work on a branch created
+                from the last relevant commit in the shipped Yocto Project kernel.
+                As mentioned previously, the structure is transparent to the developer
+                because the kernel tree is left in this state after cloning and building the kernel.

+            <para>
+                The Source Code Manager (SCM) is Git.
+                This SCM is the obvious mechanism for meeting the previously mentioned goals.

+        <title>Tree Construction</title>
+        <para>
+            This section describes construction of the Yocto Project kernel source repositories
+            as accomplished by the Yocto Project team to create kernel repositories.
+            These kernel repositories are found under the heading "Yocto Linux Kernel" at
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi'>&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi</ulink>
+            and can be shipped as part of a Yocto Project release.
+            The team creates these repositories by
+            compiling and executing the set of feature descriptions for every BSP/feature
+            in the product.
+            Those feature descriptions list all necessary patches,
+            configuration, branching, tagging and feature divisions found in a kernel.
+            Thus, the Yocto Project kernel repository (or tree) is built.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            The existence of this tree allows you to access and clone a particular
+            Yocto Project kernel repository and use it to build images based on their configurations
+            and features.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            You can find the files used to describe all the valid features and BSPs
+            in the Yocto Project kernel in any clone of the Yocto Project kernel source repository
+            Git tree.
+            For example, the following command clones the Yocto Project baseline kernel that
+            branched off of <filename>linux.org</filename> version 3.4:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-3.4
+            </literallayout>
+            For another example of how to set up a local Git repository of the Yocto Project
+            kernel files, see the
+            "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#local-kernel-files'>Yocto Project Kernel</ulink>" bulleted
+            item in the Yocto Project Development Manual.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            Once you have cloned the kernel Git repository on your local machine, you can
+            switch to the <filename>meta</filename> branch within the repository.
+            Here is an example that assumes the local Git repository for the kernel is in
+            a top-level directory named <filename>linux-yocto-3.4</filename>:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd ~/linux-yocto-3.4
+     $ git checkout -b meta origin/meta
+            </literallayout>
+            Once you have checked out and switched to the <filename>meta</filename> branch,
+            you can see a snapshot of all the kernel configuration and feature descriptions that are
+            used to build that particular kernel repository.
+            These descriptions are in the form of <filename>.scc</filename> files.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            You should realize, however, that browsing your local kernel repository
+            for feature descriptions and patches is not an effective way to determine what is in a
+            particular kernel branch.
+            Instead, you should use Git directly to discover the changes in a branch.
+            Using Git is an efficient and flexible way to inspect changes to the kernel.
+            For examples showing how to use Git to inspect kernel commits, see the following sections
+            in this chapter.
+            <note>
+                Ground up reconstruction of the complete kernel tree is an action only taken by the

+            Before building a kernel, the build process verifies the tree

+            configuration "fragments" specified by feature descriptions in the <filename>.scc</filename>
+            files.
+            As the features are compiled, associated kernel configuration fragments are noted
+            and recorded in the <filename>meta-*</filename> series of directories in their compilation order.
+            The fragments are migrated, pre-processed and passed to the Linux Kernel
+            Configuration subsystem (<filename>lkc</filename>) as raw input in the form
+            of a <filename>.config</filename> file.
+            The <filename>lkc</filename> uses its own internal dependency constraints to do the final
+            processing of that information and generates the final <filename>.config</filename> file
+            that is used during compilation.

+
+        <para>
+            The other thing that you notice once you configure a kernel is that
+            the build process generates a build tree that is separate from your kernel's local Git
+            source repository tree.
+            This build tree has a name that uses the following form, where
+            <filename>${MACHINE}</filename> is the metadata name of the machine (BSP) and "kernel_type" is one
+            of the Yocto Project supported kernel types (e.g. "standard"):
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     linux-${MACHINE}-&lt;kernel_type&gt;-build
+        </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The existing support in the <filename>kernel.org</filename> tree achieves this
+            default functionality.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            This behavior means that all the generated files for a particular machine or BSP are now in
+            the build tree directory.
+            The files include the final <filename>.config</filename> file, all the <filename>.o</filename>
+            files, the <filename>.a</filename> files, and so forth.
+            Since each machine or BSP has its own separate build directory in its own separate branch
+            of the Git repository, you can easily switch between different builds.

+            As previously noted, the Yocto Project kernel has built-in Git integration.
+            However, these utilities are not the only way to work with the kernel repository.
+            The Yocto Project has not made changes to Git or to other tools that
+            would invalidate alternate workflows.
+            Additionally, the way the kernel repository is constructed results in using

+                A common question when working with a kernel is:

+                In projects that have a collection of directories that

+                of the directories to get a general feel for the changes.
+                This sort of patch inspection is not an efficient way to determine what has been
+                done to the kernel.
+                The reason it is inefficient is because there are many optional patches that are
+                selected based on the kernel type and the feature description.
+                Additionally, patches could exist in directories that are not included in the search.

+            <para>
+                A more efficient way to determine what has changed in the branch is to use

+                This method gives you a full view of not only the source code modifications,

+                    Following are a few examples that show how to use Git commands to examine changes.
+                    Because Git repositories in the Yocto Project do not break existing Git
+                    functionality, and because there exists many permutations of these types of
+                    Git commands, many methods exist by which you can discover changes.
+                    <note>
+                        In the following examples, unless you provide a commit range,

+                        kernel changes.
+                        You can form ranges by using branch names from the kernel tree as the
+                        upper and lower commit markers with the Git commands.
+                        You can see the branch names through the web interface to the
+                        Yocto Project source repositories at
+                        <ulink url='http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi'></ulink>.

+                    To see a full range of the changes, use the

+                    Once you know a particular tag, you can use Git commands

+                        Because BSP branch, <filename>kernel.org</filename>, and feature tags are all

+                It is also easy to determine what has changed.
+                This method also provides many tools to commit, undo and export those modifications.

+
+                <para>
+                    This section describes how you can "bulk" export changes that have not
+                    been separated or divided.
+                    This situation works well when you are simply storing patches outside of the kernel
+                    source repository, either permanently or temporarily, and you are not committing
+                    incremental changes during development.
+                    <note>
+                        This technique is not appropriate for full integration of upstream submission
+                        because changes are not properly divided and do not provide an avenue for per-change
+                        commit messages.
+                        Therefore, this example assumes that changes have not been committed incrementally
+                        during development and that you simply must gather and export them.

+                    Distributed development with Git is possible when you use a universally

+                    specific change set with a specific parent.

+                    or for pull requests.
+                    After a <filename>push</filename> or <filename>pull</filename> command,
+                    commits are normally considered
+                    "permanent" and you should not modify them.

+                    <note>
+                        It is recommended to tag or branch before adding changes to a Yocto Project
+                        BSP or before creating a new one.
+                        The reason for this recommendation is because the branch or tag provides a
+                        reference point to facilitate locating and exporting local changes.

+                    If the patch series is large or the maintainer prefers to pull
+                    changes, you can submit these changes by using a pull request.
+                    However, it is common to send patches as an email series.
+                    This method allows easy review and integration of the changes.
+                    <note>
+                        Before sending patches for review be sure you understand the
+                        community standards for submitting and documenting changes and follow their best practices.
+                        For example, kernel patches should follow standards such as:
+                        <itemizedlist>

+                    The messages used to commit changes are a large part of these standards.
+                    Consequently, be sure that the headers for each commit have the required information.
+                    For information on how to follow the Yocto Project commit message standards, see the

+                    If the initial commits were not properly documented or do not meet those standards,

+                    When you want to export changes for import into another
+                    Source Code Manager (SCM), you can use any of the previously discussed
+                    techniques.
+                    However, if the patches are manually applied to a secondary tree and then
+                    that tree is checked into the SCM, you can lose change information such as
+                    commit logs.
+                    This process is not recommended.

+                    Many SCMs can directly import Git commits, or can translate Git patches so that
+                    information is not lost.
+                    Those facilities are SCM-dependent and you should use them whenever possible.

+                This section describes kernel development in an SCM other than Git,

+                For this scenario, you use the OpenEmbedded build system to

+                    This method is preferred because it has the most flexibility and potential to maintain

+            Regardless of how you intend to make use of the Yocto Project,
+            chances are you will work with the Linux kernel.
+            This manual provides background information on the Yocto Linux kernel
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>,
+            describes common tasks you can perform using the kernel tools,
+            and shows you how to use the kernel Metadata needed to work with
+            the kernel inside the Yocto Project.
+       </para>
+
+       <para>
+            Each Yocto Project release has a set of linux-yocto recipes, whose
+            Git repositories you can view in the Yocto
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;'>Source Repositories</ulink> under
+            the "Yocto Linux Kernel" heading.
+            New recipes for the release track the latest upstream developments
+            and introduce newly supported platforms.
+            Previous recipes in the release are refreshed and supported for at
+            least one additional release.
+            As they align, these previous releases are updated to include the
+            latest from the Long Term Support Initiative (LTSI) project.
+            Also included is a linux-yocto development recipe
+            (<filename>linux-yocto-dev.bb</filename>) should you want to work
+            with the very latest in upstream Linux kernel development and
+            kernel Metadata development.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The Yocto Project also provides a powerful set of kernel
+            tools for managing Linux kernel sources and configuration data.
+            You can use these tools to make a single configuration change,
+            apply multiple patches, or work with your own kernel sources.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            In particular, the kernel tools allow you to generate configuration
+            fragments that specify only what you must, and nothing more.
+            Configuration fragments only need to contain the highest level
+            visible <filename>CONFIG</filename> options as presented by the Linux
+            kernel <filename>menuconfig</filename> system.
+            Contrast this against a complete Linux kernel
+            <filename>.config</filename>, which includes all the automatically
+            selected <filename>CONFIG</filename> options.
+            This efficiency reduces your maintenance effort and allows you
+            to further separate your configuration in ways that make sense for
+            your project.
+            A common split separates policy and hardware.
+            For example, all your kernels might support
+            the <filename>proc</filename> and <filename>sys</filename> filesystems,
+            but only specific boards require sound, USB, or specific drivers.
+            Specifying these configurations individually allows you to aggregate
+            them together as needed, but maintains them in only one place.
+            Similar logic applies to separating source changes.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            If you do not maintain your own kernel sources and need to make
+            only minimal changes to the sources, the released recipes provide a
+            vetted base upon which to layer your changes.
+            Doing so allows you to benefit from the continual kernel
+            integration and testing performed during development of the
+            Yocto Project.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            If, instead, you have a very specific Linux kernel source tree
+            and are unable to align with one of the official linux-yocto
+            recipes, an alternative exists by which you can use the Yocto
+            Project Linux kernel tools with your own kernel sources.

+        <title>Tree Construction</title>
+        <para>
+            This section describes construction of the Yocto Project kernel source repositories
+            as accomplished by the Yocto Project team to create kernel repositories.
+            These kernel repositories are found under the heading "Yocto Linux Kernel" at
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi'>&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi</ulink>
+            and can be shipped as part of a Yocto Project release.
+            The team creates these repositories by
+            compiling and executing the set of feature descriptions for every BSP
+            and feature in the product.
+            Those feature descriptions list all necessary patches,
+            configuration, branching, tagging and feature divisions found in a kernel.
+            Thus, the Yocto Project kernel repository (or tree) is built.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            The existence of this tree allows you to access and clone a particular
+            Yocto Project kernel repository and use it to build images based on their configurations
+            and features.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            You can find the files used to describe all the valid features and BSPs
+            in the Yocto Project kernel in any clone of the Yocto Project kernel source repository
+            Git tree.
+            For example, the following command clones the Yocto Project baseline kernel that
+            branched off of <filename>linux.org</filename> version 3.4:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-3.4
+            </literallayout>
+            For another example of how to set up a local Git repository of the Yocto Project
+            kernel files, see the
+            "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#local-kernel-files'>Yocto Project Kernel</ulink>" bulleted
+            item in the Yocto Project Development Manual.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            Once you have cloned the kernel Git repository on your local machine, you can
+            switch to the <filename>meta</filename> branch within the repository.
+            Here is an example that assumes the local Git repository for the kernel is in
+            a top-level directory named <filename>linux-yocto-3.4</filename>:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd linux-yocto-3.4
+     $ git checkout -b meta origin/meta
+            </literallayout>
+            Once you have checked out and switched to the <filename>meta</filename> branch,
+            you can see a snapshot of all the kernel configuration and feature descriptions that are
+            used to build that particular kernel repository.
+            These descriptions are in the form of <filename>.scc</filename> files.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            You should realize, however, that browsing your local kernel repository
+            for feature descriptions and patches is not an effective way to determine what is in a
+            particular kernel branch.
+            Instead, you should use Git directly to discover the changes in a branch.
+            Using Git is an efficient and flexible way to inspect changes to the kernel.
+            <note>
+                Ground up reconstruction of the complete kernel tree is an action only taken by the
+                Yocto Project team during an active development cycle.
+                When you create a clone of the kernel Git repository, you are simply making it
+                efficiently available for building and development.
+            </note>
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            The following steps describe what happens when the Yocto Project Team constructs
+            the Yocto Project kernel source Git repository (or tree) found at
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi'></ulink> given the
+            introduction of a new top-level kernel feature or BSP.
+            These are the actions that effectively create the tree
+            that includes the new feature, patch or BSP:

+            Before building a kernel, the build process verifies the tree

+            files.
+            As the features are compiled, associated kernel configuration fragments are noted
+            and recorded in the <filename>meta-*</filename> series of directories in their compilation order.
+            The fragments are migrated, pre-processed and passed to the Linux Kernel
+            Configuration subsystem (<filename>lkc</filename>) as raw input in the form
+            of a <filename>.config</filename> file.
+            The <filename>lkc</filename> uses its own internal dependency constraints to do the final

+
+        <para>
+            The other thing that you notice once you configure a kernel is that
+            the build process generates a build tree that is separate from your kernel's local Git
+            source repository tree.
+            This build tree has a name that uses the following form, where
+            <filename>${MACHINE}</filename> is the metadata name of the machine (BSP) and "kernel_type" is one
+            of the Yocto Project supported kernel types (e.g. "standard"):

+            This behavior means that all the generated files for a particular machine or BSP are now in

+   Generic XHTML / DocBook XHTML CSS Stylesheet.
+
+   Browser wrangling and typographic design by
+      Oyvind Kolas / pippin@gimp.org
+
+   Customised for Poky by
+      Matthew Allum / mallum@o-hand.com
+
+   Thanks to:
+     Liam R. E. Quin
+     William Skaggs
+     Jakub Steiner
+
+   Structure
+   ---------
+
+   The stylesheet is divided into the following sections:
+
+       Positioning
+          Margins, paddings, width, font-size, clearing.
+       Decorations
+          Borders, style
+       Colors
+          Colors
+       Graphics
+          Graphical backgrounds
+       Nasty IE tweaks
+          Workarounds needed to make it work in internet explorer,
+          currently makes the stylesheet non validating, but up until
+          this point it is validating.
+       Mozilla extensions
+          Transparency for footer

+   Generic XHTML / DocBook XHTML CSS Stylesheet.

+   Browser wrangling and typographic design by
+      Oyvind Kolas / pippin@gimp.org
+
+   Customised for Poky by

+
+   Thanks to:
+     Liam R. E. Quin
+     William Skaggs
+     Jakub Steiner
+
+   Structure
+   ---------
+
+   The stylesheet is divided into the following sections:
+
+       Positioning
+          Margins, paddings, width, font-size, clearing.
+       Decorations
+          Borders, style
+       Colors
+          Colors
+       Graphics
+          Graphical backgrounds
+       Nasty IE tweaks
+          Workarounds needed to make it work in internet explorer,
+          currently makes the stylesheet non validating, but up until
+          this point it is validating.

+
+    <para>
+        It may seem surprising to see a section covering an 'overall architecture'
+        for what seems to be a random collection of tracing tools that together
+        make up the Linux tracing and profiling space.
+        The fact is, however, that in recent years this seemingly disparate
+        set of tools has started to converge on a 'core' set of underlying
+        mechanisms:
+    </para>

+    <informalexample>
+        <emphasis>Tying it Together:</emphasis> Rather than enumerating here how each tool makes use of
+        these common mechanisms, textboxes like this will make note of the
+        specific usages in each tool as they come up in the course
+        of the text.

+
+    <para>
+        In one of our previous releases (denzil), users noticed that booting
+        off of a live image and writing to disk was noticeably slower.
+        This included the boot itself, especially the first one, since first
+        boots tend to do a significant amount of writing due to certain
+        post-install scripts.

+        The problem (and solution) was discovered by using the Yocto tracing

+        <title>Introduction</title>
+
+        <para>
+            Yocto bundles a number of tracing and profiling tools - this 'HOWTO'
+            describes their basic usage and shows by example how to make use
+            of them to examine application and system behavior.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The tools presented are for the most part completely open-ended and
+            have quite good and/or extensive documentation of their own which
+            can be used to solve just about any problem you might come across
+            in Linux.
+            Each section that describes a particular tool has links to that
+            tool's documentation and website.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The purpose of this 'HOWTO' is to present a set of common and
+            generally useful tracing and profiling idioms along with their
+            application (as appropriate) to each tool, in the context of a
+            general-purpose 'drill-down' methodology that can be applied
+            to solving a large number (90%?) of problems.
+            For help with more advanced usages and problems, please see
+            the documentation and/or websites listed for each tool.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The final section of this 'HOWTO' is a collection of real-world
+            examples which we'll be continually adding to as we solve more
+            problems using the tools - feel free to add your own examples
+            to the list!

+        <title>General Setup</title>
+
+        <para>
+            Most of the tools are available only in 'sdk' images or in images
+            built after adding 'tools-profile' to your local.conf.
+            So, in order to be able to access all of the tools described here,
+            please first build and boot an 'sdk' image e.g.
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake core-image-sato-sdk
+            </literallayout>
+            or alternatively by adding 'tools-profile' to the
+            EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line in your local.conf:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+      EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-profile"
+            </literallayout>
+            If you use the 'tools-profile' method, you don't need to build an
+            sdk image - the tracing and profiling tools will be included in
+            non-sdk images as well e.g.:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake core-image-sato
+            </literallayout>
+            <note><para>
+                By default, the Yocto build system strips symbols from the
+                binaries it packages, which makes it difficult to use some
+                of the tools.
+                </para><para>You can prevent that by putting the following
+                in your local.conf when you build the image:
+                </para>
+            </note>
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1"
+            </literallayout>
+            The above setting will noticeably increase the size of your image.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            If you've already build a stripped image, you can generate
+            debug packages (xxx-dbg) which you can manually install as
+            needed.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To generate debug info for packages, you can add dbg-pkgs to
+            EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES in local.conf. For example:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-profile dbg-pkgs"
+            </literallayout>
+            Additionally, in order to generate the right type of
+            debuginfo, we also need to add the following to local.conf:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE = 'debug-file-directory'
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+    </section>

+<title>Basic Usage (with examples) for each of the Yocto Tracing Tools</title>
+
+<para>
+    This chapter presents basic usage examples for each of the tracing
+    tools.
+</para>
+
+<section id='profile-manual-perf'>
+    <title>perf</title>
+
+    <para>
+        The 'perf' tool is the profiling and tracing tool that comes
+        bundled with the Linux kernel.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Don't let the fact that it's part of the kernel fool you into thinking
+        that it's only for tracing and profiling the kernel - you can indeed
+        use it to trace and profile just the kernel , but you can also use it
+        to profile specific applications separately (with or without kernel
+        context), and you can also use it to trace and profile the kernel
+        and all applications on the system simultaneously to gain a system-wide
+        view of what's going on.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        In many ways, it aims to be a superset of all the tracing and profiling
+        tools available in Linux today, including all the other tools covered
+        in this HOWTO. The past couple of years have seen perf subsume a lot
+        of the functionality of those other tools, and at the same time those
+        other tools have removed large portions of their previous functionality
+        and replaced it with calls to the equivalent functionality now
+        implemented by the perf subsystem. Extrapolation suggests that at
+        some point those other tools will simply become completely redundant
+        and go away; until then, we'll cover those other tools in these pages
+        and in many cases show how the same things can be accomplished in
+        perf and the other tools when it seems useful to do so.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The coverage below details some of the most common ways you'll likely
+        want to apply the tool; full documentation can be found either within
+        the tool itself or in the man pages at
+        <ulink url='http://linux.die.net/man/1/perf'>perf(1)</ulink>.
+    </para>
+
+    <section id='perf-setup'>
+        <title>Setup</title>
+
+        <para>
+            For this section, we'll assume you've already performed the basic
+            setup outlined in the General Setup section.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            In particular, you'll get the most mileage out of perf if you
+            profile an image built with INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1" in your
+            local.conf.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            perf runs on the target system for the most part. You can archive
+            profile data and copy it to the host for analysis, but for the
+            rest of this document we assume you've ssh'ed to the host and
+            will be running the perf commands on the target.

+        <title>Basic Usage</title>
+
+        <para>
+            The perf tool is pretty much self-documenting. To remind yourself
+            of the available commands, simply type 'perf', which will show you
+            basic usage along with the available perf subcommands:

+            <para>
+                As a simple test case, we'll profile the 'wget' of a fairly large
+                file, which is a minimally interesting case because it has both
+                file and network I/O aspects, and at least in the case of standard
+                Yocto images, it's implemented as part of busybox, so the methods
+                we use to analyze it can be used in a very similar way to the whole
+                host of supported busybox applets in Yocto.

+                The quickest and easiest way to get some basic overall data about

+                'perf stat'. 'perf stat' basically profiles using a few default
+                counters and displays the summed counts at the end of the run:

+                Many times such a simple-minded test doesn't yield much of
+                interest, but sometimes it does (see Real-world Yocto bug

+

+                Also, note that 'perf stat' isn't restricted to a fixed set of
+                counters - basically any event listed in the output of 'perf list'
+                can be tallied by 'perf stat'. For example, suppose we wanted to
+                see a summary of all the events related to kernel memory
+                allocation/freeing along with cache hits and misses:

+                So 'perf stat' gives us a nice easy way to get a quick overview of
+                what might be happening for a set of events, but normally we'd
+                need a little more detail in order to understand what's going on
+                in a way that we can act on in a useful way.

+                To dive down into a next level of detail, we can use 'perf
+                record'/'perf report' which will collect profiling data and
+                present it to use using an interactive text-based UI (or
+                simply as text if we specify --stdio to 'perf report').
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                As our first attempt at profiling this workload, we'll simply

+                during the profiling run, ordered from the most popular to the

+                on - see the perf documentation for details). Note that this
+                includes both userspace functions (entries containing a [.]) and
+                kernel functions accounted to the process (entries containing
+                a [k]). (perf has command-line modifiers that can be used to

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Notice also that the above report shows an entry for 'busybox',
+                which is the executable that implements 'wget' in Yocto, but that
+                instead of a useful function name in that entry, it displays
+                an not-so-friendly hex value instead. The steps below will show

+                difference between the new profile and the previous one is that

+
+            <para>
+                Using the callgraph view, we can actually see not only which

+                how those functions were called and learn something about how the
+                program interacts with the kernel in the process.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Notice that each entry in the above screenshot now contains a '+'
+                on the left-hand side. This means that we can expand the entry and
+                drill down into the callchains that feed into that entry.
+                Pressing 'enter' on any one of them will expand the callchain
+                (you can also press 'E' to expand them all at the same time or 'C'
+                to collapse them all).
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                In the screenshot above, we've toggled the __copy_to_user_ll()
+                entry and several subnodes all the way down. This lets us see
+                which callchains contributed to the profiled __copy_to_user_ll()
+                function which contributed 1.77% to the total profile.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                As a bit of background explanation for these callchains, think
+                about what happens at a high level when you run wget to get a file
+                out on the network. Basically what happens is that the data comes
+                into the kernel via the network connection (socket) and is passed
+                to the userspace program 'wget' (which is actually a part of
+                busybox, but that's not important for now), which takes the buffers
+                the kernel passes to it and writes it to a disk file to save it.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The part of this process that we're looking at in the above call
+                stacks is the part where the kernel passes the data it's read from
+                the socket down to wget i.e. a copy-to-user.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Notice also that here there's also a case where the a hex value
+                is displayed in the callstack, here in the expanded
+                sys_clock_gettime() function. Later we'll see it resolve to a
+                userspace function call in busybox.
+            </para>

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The above screenshot shows the other half of the journey for the
+                data - from the wget program's userspace buffers to disk. To get
+                the buffers to disk, the wget program issues a write(2), which
+                does a copy-from-user to the kernel, which then takes care via
+                some circuitous path (probably also present somewhere in the
+                profile data), to get it safely to disk.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Now that we've seen the basic layout of the profile data and the
+                basics of how to extract useful information out of it, let's get
+                back to the task at hand and see if we can get some basic idea
+                about where the time is spent in the program we're profiling,
+                wget. Remember that wget is actually implemented as an applet
+                in busybox, so while the process name is 'wget', the executable
+                we're actually interested in is busybox. So let's expand the
+                first entry containing busybox:
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                <imagedata fileref="figures/perf-wget-busybox-expanded-stripped.png" width="6in" depth="7in" align="center" scalefit="1" />
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Again, before we expanded we saw that the function was labeled
+                with a hex value instead of a symbol as with most of the kernel
+                entries. Expanding the busybox entry doesn't make it any better.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The problem is that perf can't find the symbol information for the
+                busybox binary, which is actually stripped out by the Yocto build
+                system.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                One way around that is to put the following in your local.conf
+                when you build the image:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1"
+                </literallayout>
+                However, we already have an image with the binaries stripped,
+                so what can we do to get perf to resolve the symbols? Basically
+                we need to install the debuginfo for the busybox package.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                To generate the debug info for the packages in the image, we can
+                to add dbg-pkgs to EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES in local.conf. For example:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-profile dbg-pkgs"
+                </literallayout>
+                Additionally, in order to generate the type of debuginfo that
+                perf understands, we also need to add the following to local.conf:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE = 'debug-file-directory'
+                </literallayout>
+                Once we've done that, we can install the debuginfo for busybox.
+                The debug packages once built can be found in
+                build/tmp/deploy/rpm/* on the host system. Find the
+                busybox-dbg-...rpm file and copy it to the target. For example:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     [trz@empanada core2]$ scp /home/trz/yocto/crownbay-tracing-dbg/build/tmp/deploy/rpm/core2/busybox-dbg-1.20.2-r2.core2.rpm root@192.168.1.31:
+     root@192.168.1.31's password:
+     busybox-dbg-1.20.2-r2.core2.rpm                     100% 1826KB   1.8MB/s   00:01
+                </literallayout>
+                Now install the debug rpm on the target:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# rpm -i busybox-dbg-1.20.2-r2.core2.rpm
+                </literallayout>
+                Now that the debuginfo is installed, we see that the busybox
+                entries now display their functions symbolically:
+            </para>
+
+            <para>

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                If we expand one of the entries and press 'enter' on a leaf node,
+                we're presented with a menu of actions we can take to get more
+                information related to that entry:
+            </para>

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                One of these actions allows us to show a view that displays a
+                busybox-centric view of the profiled functions (in this case we've
+                also expanded all the nodes using the 'E' key):

+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Finally, we can see that now that the busybox debuginfo is
+                installed, the previously unresolved symbol in the
+                sys_clock_gettime() entry mentioned previously is now resolved,
+                and shows that the sys_clock_gettime system call that was the
+                source of 6.75% of the copy-to-user overhead was initiated by
+                the handle_input() busybox function:
+            </para>

+
+            <para>
+                At the lowest level of detail, we can dive down to the assembly
+                level and see which instructions caused the most overhead in a
+                function. Pressing 'enter' on the 'udhcpc_main' function, we're

+

+                Selecting 'Annotate udhcpc_main', we get a detailed listing of
+                percentages by instruction for the udhcpc_main function. From the
+                display, we can see that over 50% of the time spent in this
+                function is taken up by a couple tests and the move of a
+                constant (1) to a register:

+
+            <para>
+                The tracing and profiling infrastructure in Linux has become

+                themselves to (of course the traditional tools can also make use

+                hardware counter used for normal profiling, where sampling
+                periods are much higher (in the thousands) because profiling should
+                have as low an overhead as possible and sampling on every cycle
+                would be prohibitively expensive.

+                Profiling is a great tool for solving many problems or for
+                getting a high-level view of what's going on with a workload or
+                across the system. It is however by definition an approximation,
+                as suggested by the most prominent word associated with it,
+                'sampling'. On the one hand, it allows a representative picture of
+                what's going on in the system to be cheaply taken, but on the other
+                hand, that cheapness limits its utility when that data suggests a
+                need to 'dive down' more deeply to discover what's really going
+                on. In such cases, the only way to see what's really going on is

+                In many ways, profiling can be viewed as a subset of tracing -
+                theoretically, if you have a set of trace events that's sufficient
+                to capture all the important aspects of a workload, you can derive
+                any of the results or views that a profiling run can.

+                Another aspect of traditional profiling is that while powerful in
+                many ways, it's limited by the granularity of the underlying data.
+                Profiling tools offer various ways of sorting and presenting the
+                sample data, which make it much more useful and amenable to user
+                experimentation, but in the end it can't be used in an open-ended
+                way to extract data that just isn't present as a consequence of
+                the fact that conceptually, most of it has been thrown away.
+            </para>

+            <para>
+                Full-blown detailed tracing data does however offer the opportunity
+                to manipulate and present the information collected during a
+                tracing run in an infinite variety of ways.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Another way to look at it is that there are only so many ways that
+                the 'primitive' counters can be used on their own to generate
+                interesting output; to get anything more complicated than simple
+                counts requires some amount of additional logic, which is typically
+                very specific to the problem at hand. For example, if we wanted to
+                make use of a 'counter' that maps to the value of the time
+                difference between when a process was scheduled to run on a
+                processor and the time it actually ran, we wouldn't expect such
+                a counter to exist on its own, but we could derive one called say
+                'wakeup_latency' and use it to extract a useful view of that metric
+                from trace data. Likewise, we really can't figure out from standard
+                profiling tools how much data every process on the system reads and
+                writes, along with how many of those reads and writes fail
+                completely. If we have sufficient trace data, however, we could
+                with the right tools easily extract and present that information,
+                but we'd need something other than pre-canned profiling tools to
+                do that.

+                Luckily, there is general-purpose way to handle such needs,
+                called 'programming languages'. Making programming languages
+                easily available to apply to such problems given the specific
+                format of data is called a 'programming language binding' for
+                that data and language. Perf supports two programming language
+                bindings, one for Python and one for Perl.

+                <emphasis>Tying it Together:</emphasis> Language bindings for manipulating and
+                aggregating trace data are of course not a new
+                idea.  One of the first projects to do this was IBM's DProbes
+                dpcc compiler, an ANSI C compiler which targeted a low-level
+                assembly language running on an in-kernel interpreter on the
+                target system.  This is exactly analagous to what Sun's DTrace
+                did, except that DTrace invented its own language for the purpose.
+                Systemtap, heavily inspired by DTrace, also created its own
+                one-off language, but rather than running the product on an
+                in-kernel interpreter, created an elaborate compiler-based
+                machinery to translate its language into kernel modules written
+                in C.

+                Now that we have the trace data in perf.data, we can use
+                'perf script -g' to generate a skeleton script with handlers
+                for the read/write entry/exit events we recorded:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# perf script -g python
+     generated Python script: perf-script.py
+                </literallayout>
+                The skeleton script simply creates a python function for each
+                event type in the perf.data file. The body of each function simply
+                prints the event name along with its parameters. For example:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     def net__netif_rx(event_name, context, common_cpu,
+            common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
+            skbaddr, len, name):
+                    print_header(event_name, common_cpu, common_secs, common_nsecs,
+                            common_pid, common_comm)
+
+                     print "skbaddr=%u, len=%u, name=%s\n" % (skbaddr, len, name),
+                </literallayout>
+                We can run that script directly to print all of the events
+                contained in the perf.data file:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+
+            <para>
+                As a simple example, let's just replace the print statements in
+                the function bodies with a simple function that does nothing but
+                increment a per-event count. When the program is run against a
+                perf.data file, each time a particular event is encountered,
+                a tally is incremented for that event. For example:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     def net__netif_rx(event_name, context, common_cpu,
+            common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
+            skbaddr, len, name):
+                          inc_counts(event_name)
+                </literallayout>
+                Each event handler function in the generated code is modified
+                to do this. For convenience, we define a common function called
+                inc_counts() that each handler calls; inc_counts simply tallies
+                a count for each event using the 'counts' hash, which is a
+                specialized has function that does Perl-like autovivification, a
+                capability that's extremely useful for kinds of multi-level
+                aggregation commonly used in processing traces (see perf's
+                documentation on the Python language binding for details):
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     counts = autodict()
+
+     def inc_counts(event_name):
+            try:
+                    counts[event_name] += 1
+            except TypeError:
+                    counts[event_name] = 1
+                </literallayout>
+                Finally, at the end of the trace processing run, we want to
+                print the result of all the per-event tallies. For that, we
+                use the special 'trace_end()' function:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     def trace_end():
+            for event_name, count in counts.iteritems():

+                </literallayout>
+                The end result is a summary of all the events recorded in the

+                The examples so far have focused on tracing a particular program or
+                workload - in other words, every profiling run has specified the

+                It's also possible, and more interesting in many cases, to run a

+                    special-purpose pseudo-interpreter in the kernel and are an
+                    integral and indispensable part of the perf design as it
+                    relates to tracing.  kernel-based event filters provide a
+                    mechanism to precisely throttle the event stream that appears
+                    in user space, where it makes sense to provide bindings to real
+                    programming languages for postprocessing the event stream.
+                    This architecture allows for the intelligent and flexible
+                    partitioning of processing between the kernel and user space.
+                    Contrast this with other tools such as SystemTap, which does
+                    all of its processing in the kernel and as such requires a
+                    special project-defined language in order to accommodate that
+                    design, or LTTng, where everything is sent to userspace and
+                    as such requires a super-efficient kernel-to-userspace
+                    transport mechanism in order to function properly.  While
+                    perf certainly can benefit from for instance advances in
+                    the design of the transport, it doesn't fundamentally depend
+                    on them.  Basically, if you find that your perf tracing
+                    application is causing buffer I/O overruns, it probably
+                    means that you aren't taking enough advantage of the
+                    kernel filtering engine.

+                perf isn't restricted to the fixed set of static tracepoints
+                listed by 'perf list'. Users can also add their own 'dynamic'
+                tracepoints anywhere in the kernel. For instance, suppose we
+                want to define our own tracepoint on do_fork(). We can do that

+            As you can see, the function_graph display is much easier to
+            follow. Also note that in addition to the function calls and
+            associated braces, other events such as scheduler events
+            are displayed in context. In fact, you can freely include
+            any tracepoint available in the trace events subsystem described
+            in the next section by simply enabling those events, and they'll
+            appear in context in the function graph display. Quite a
+            powerful tool for understanding kernel dynamics.

+            The 'format' file for the tracepoint describes the event
+            in memory, which is used by the various tracing tools
+            that now make use of these tracepoint to parse the event
+            and make sense of it, along with a 'print fmt' field that
+            allows tools like ftrace to display the event as text.

+            The 'enable' file in the tracepoint directory is what allows
+            the user (or tools such as trace-cmd) to actually turn the
+            tracepoint on and off. When enabled, the corresponding
+            tracepoint will start appearing in the ftrace 'trace'
+            file described previously. For example, this turns on the
+            kmalloc tracepoint:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@sugarbay:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc# echo 1 > enable
+            </literallayout>
+            At the moment, we're not interested in the function tracer or
+            some other tracer that might be in effect, so we first turn
+            it off, but if we do that, we still need to turn tracing on in
+            order to see the events in the output buffer:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@sugarbay:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# echo nop > current_tracer
+     root@sugarbay:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# echo 1 > tracing_on
+            </literallayout>
+            Now, if we look at the the 'trace' file, we see nothing
+            but the kmalloc events we just turned on:

+            trace-cmd is essentially an extensive command-line 'wrapper'
+            interface that hides the details of all the individual files
+            in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, allowing users to specify
+            specific particular events within the
+            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/ subdirectory and to collect
+            traces and avoiding having to deal with those details directly.

+
+        <para>
+            As yet another layer on top of that, kernelshark provides a GUI
+            that allows users to start and stop traces and specify sets
+            of events using an intuitive interface, and view the
+            output as both trace events and as a per-cpu graphical
+            display. It directly uses 'trace-cmd' as the plumbing
+            that accomplishes all that underneath the covers (and

+        SystemTap is a system-wide script-based tracing and profiling tool.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        SystemTap scripts are C-like programs that are executed in the
+        kernel to gather/print/aggregate data extracted from the context
+        they end up being invoked under.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        For example, this probe from the
+        <ulink url='http://sourceware.org/systemtap/tutorial/'>SystemTap tutorial</ulink>
+        simply prints a line every time any process on the system open()s
+        a file. For each line, it prints the executable name of the
+        program that opened the file, along with its pid, and the name
+        of the file it opened (or tried to open), which it extracts
+        from the open syscall's argstr.
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     probe syscall.open
+     {
+             printf ("%s(%d) open (%s)\n", execname(), pid(), argstr)
+     }
+
+     probe timer.ms(4000) # after 4 seconds
+     {
+             exit ()
+     }
+        </literallayout>
+        Normally, to execute this probe, you'd simply install
+        systemtap on the system you want to probe, and directly run
+        the probe on that system e.g. assuming the name of the file
+        containing the above text is trace_open.stp:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     # stap trace_open.stp
+        </literallayout>
+        What systemtap does under the covers to run this probe is 1)
+        parse and convert the probe to an equivalent 'C' form, 2)
+        compile the 'C' form into a kernel module, 3) insert the
+        module into the kernel, which arms it, and 4) collect the data
+        generated by the probe and display it to the user.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+        In order to accomplish steps 1 and 2, the 'stap' program needs
+        access to the kernel build system that produced the kernel
+        that the probed system is running. In the case of a typical
+        embedded system (the 'target'), the kernel build system
+        unfortunately isn't typically part of the image running on
+        the target. It is normally available on the 'host' system
+        that produced the target image however; in such cases,
+        steps 1 and 2 are executed on the host system, and steps
+        3 and 4 are executed on the target system, using only the
+        systemtap 'runtime'.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The systemtap support in Yocto assumes that only steps
+        3 and 4 are run on the target; it is possible to do
+        everything on the target, but this section assumes only
+        the typical embedded use-case.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        So basically what you need to do in order to run a systemtap
+        script on the target is to 1) on the host system, compile the
+        probe into a kernel module that makes sense to the target, 2)
+        copy the module onto the target system and 3) insert the
+        module into the target kernel, which arms it, and 4) collect
+        the data generated by the probe and display it to the user.

+
+        <para>
+            Those are a lot of steps and a lot of details, but
+            fortunately Yocto includes a script called 'crosstap'
+            that will take care of those details, allowing you to
+            simply execute a systemtap script on the remote target,
+            with arguments if necessary.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            In order to do this from a remote host, however, you
+            need to have access to the build for the image you
+            booted. The 'crosstap' script provides details on how
+            to do this if you run the script on the host without having
+            done a build:
+            <note>
+                SystemTap, which uses 'crosstap', assumes you can establish an
+                ssh connection to the remote target.
+                Please refer to crosstap wiki page for details on verifying
+                ssh connections at
+                <ulink url='https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Tracing_and_Profiling#systemtap'></ulink>.
+                Also, the ability to ssh into the target system is not enabled
+                by default in -minimal images.

+
+     Error: No target kernel build found.
+     Did you forget to create a local build of your image?
+
+     'crosstap' requires a local sdk build of the target system
+     (or a build that includes 'tools-profile') in order to build
+     kernel modules that can probe the target system.
+
+     Practically speaking, that means you need to do the following:
+      - If you're running a pre-built image, download the release
+        and/or BSP tarballs used to build the image.
+      - If you're working from git sources, just clone the metadata
+        and BSP layers needed to build the image you'll be booting.
+      - Make sure you're properly set up to build a new image (see
+        the BSP README and/or the widely available basic documentation
+        that discusses how to build images).
+      - Build an -sdk version of the image e.g.:
+          $ bitbake core-image-sato-sdk
+      OR
+      - Build a non-sdk image but include the profiling tools:
+          [ edit local.conf and add 'tools-profile' to the end of
+            the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES variable ]
+          $ bitbake core-image-sato
+
+     Once you've build the image on the host system, you're ready to
+     boot it (or the equivalent pre-built image) and use 'crosstap'
+     to probe it (you need to source the environment as usual first):
+
+        $ source oe-init-build-env
+        $ cd ~/my/systemtap/scripts
+        $ crosstap root@192.168.1.xxx myscript.stp
+            </literallayout>
+            So essentially what you need to do is build an SDK image or
+            image with 'tools-profile' as detailed in the
+            "<link linkend='profile-manual-general-setup'>General Setup</link>"
+            section of this manual, and boot the resulting target image.
+        </para>
+
+        <note>
+            If you have a build directory containing multiple machines,
+            you need to have the MACHINE you're connecting to selected
+            in local.conf, and the kernel in that machine's build
+            directory must match the kernel on the booted system exactly,
+            or you'll get the above 'crosstap' message when you try to
+            invoke a script.

+            Oprofile as configured in Yocto is a system-wide profiler
+            (i.e. the version in Yocto doesn't yet make use of the
+            perf_events interface which would allow it to profile
+            specific processes and workloads). It's relies on hardware
+            counter support in the hardware (but can fall back to a
+            timer-based mode), which means that it doesn't take
+            advantage of tracepoints or other event sources for example.

+
+        <para>
+            It consists of a kernel module that collects samples and a

+            The oprofile daemon should already be running, but before

+            and some of these settings may require the daemon not
+            be running. One of these settings is the path the the
+            vmlinux file, which you'll want to set using the --vmlinux
+            option if you want the kernel profiled:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# opcontrol --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`

+        <title>OProfileUI - A GUI for OProfile</title>
+
+        <para>
+            Yocto also supports a graphical UI for controlling and viewing
+            OProfile traces, called OProfileUI. To use it, you first need
+            to clone the oprofileui git repo, then configure, build, and
+            install it:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     [trz@empanada tmp]$ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/oprofileui
+     [trz@empanada tmp]$ cd oprofileui
+     [trz@empanada oprofileui]$ ./autogen.sh
+     [trz@empanada oprofileui]$ sudo make install
+            </literallayout>
+            OprofileUI replaces the 'opreport' functionality with a GUI,
+            and normally doesn't require the user to use 'opcontrol' either.
+            If you want to profile the kernel, however, you need to either
+            use the UI to specify a vmlinux or use 'opcontrol' to specify
+            it on the target:
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            First, on the target, check if vmlinux file: is set:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# opcontrol --status
+            </literallayout>
+            If not:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# opcontrol --shutdown
+     root@crownbay:~# opcontrol --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`
+     root@crownbay:~# opcontrol --start-daemon
+            </literallayout>
+            Now, start the oprofile UI on the host system:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     [trz@empanada oprofileui]$ oprofile-viewer
+            </literallayout>
+            To run a profile on the remote system, first connect to the
+            remote system by pressing the 'Connect' button and supplying
+            the IP address and port of the remote system (the default
+            port is 4224).
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The oprofile server should automatically be started already.
+            If not, the connection will fail and you either typed in the
+            wrong IP address and port (see below), or you need to start
+            the server yourself:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# oprofile-server
+            </literallayout>
+            Or, to specify a specific port:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# oprofile-server --port 8888
+            </literallayout>
+            Once connected, press the 'Start' button and then run the
+            wget workload on the remote system:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# rm linux-2.6.19.2.tar.bz2; wget <ulink url='http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/mirror/sources/linux-2.6.19.2.tar.bz2'>http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/mirror/sources/linux-2.6.19.2.tar.bz2</ulink>; sync

+            </literallayout>
+            Once the workload completes, press the 'Stop' button. At that
+            point the OProfile viewer will download the profile files it's
+            collected (this may take some time, especially if the kernel
+            was profiled). While it downloads the files, you should see
+            something like the following:

+
+        <para>
+            Once the profile files have been retrieved, you should see a

+
+        <para>
+            If you select one of them, you should see all the symbols that
+            were hit during the profile. Selecting one of them will show a
+            list of callers and callees of the chosen function in two
+            panes below the top pane. For example, here's what we see

+            The left pane shows a list of functions and processes.

+            In the screenshot above, we're focusing on __copy_to_user_ll()

+            of __copy_to_user_ll is sys_read() and the complete callpath
+            between them. Notice that this is essentially a portion of the

+        blktrace is a tool for tracing and reporting low-level disk I/O.
+        blktrace provides the tracing half of the equation; its output can
+        be piped into the blkparse program, which renders the data in a
+        human-readable form and does some basic analysis:

+            blktrace is an application that runs on the target system.
+            You can run the entire blktrace and blkparse pipeline on the
+            target, or you can run blktrace in 'listen' mode on the target
+            and have blktrace and blkparse collect and analyze the data on
+            the host (see the
+            "<link linkend='using-blktrace-remotely'>Using blktrace Remotely</link>"
+            section below).

+            To record a trace, simply run the 'blktrace' command, giving it
+            the name of the block device you want to trace activity on:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# blktrace /dev/sdc
+            </literallayout>
+            In another shell, execute a workload you want to trace.

+            Press Ctrl-C in the blktrace shell to stop the trace. It will
+            display how many events were logged, along with the per-cpu file
+            sizes (blktrace records traces in per-cpu kernel buffers and
+            simply dumps them to userspace for blkparse to merge and sort
+            later).

+            <para>
+                blktrace and blkparse are designed from the ground up to
+                be able to operate together in a 'pipe mode' where the
+                stdout of blktrace can be fed directly into the stdin of
+                blkparse:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     root@crownbay:~# blktrace /dev/sdc -o - | blkparse -i -
+                </literallayout>
+                This enables long-lived tracing sessions to run without
+                writing anything to disk, and allows the user to look for
+                certain conditions in the trace data in 'real-time' by
+                viewing the trace output as it scrolls by on the screen or
+                by passing it along to yet another program in the pipeline
+                such as grep which can be used to identify and capture
+                conditions of interest.

+                There's actually another blktrace command that implements

+                have to bother typing in the above command sequence:

+
+            <para>
+                Because blktrace traces block I/O and at the same time
+                normally writes its trace data to a block device, and
+                in general because it's not really a great idea to make
+                the device being traced the same as the device the tracer
+                writes to, blktrace provides a way to trace without
+                perturbing the traced device at all by providing native
+                support for sending all trace data over the network.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>

+                patches, completes compilation, analyzes output for package

+

+            User configuration helps define the build.
+            Through user configuration, you can tell BitBake the

+            where to store downloaded source, and other build properties.

+

+            BitBake needs some basic configuration files in order to complete
+            a build.
+            These files are <filename>*.conf</filename> files.
+            The minimally necessary ones reside as example files in the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
+            For simplicity, this section refers to the Source Directory as
+            the "Poky Directory."
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            When you clone the <filename>poky</filename> Git repository or you
+            download and unpack a Yocto Project release, you can set up the
+            Source Directory to be named anything you want.
+            For this discussion, the cloned repository uses the default
+            name <filename>poky</filename>.
+            <note>
+                The Poky repository is primarily an aggregation of existing
+                repositories.
+                It is not a canonical upstream source.
+            </note>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The <filename>meta-yocto</filename> layer inside Poky contains
+            a <filename>conf</filename> directory that has example
+            configuration files.
+            These example files are used as a basis for creating actual
+            configuration files when you source the build environment
+            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>).
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Sourcing the build environment script creates a
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>
+            if one does not already exist.
+            BitBake uses the Build Directory for all its work during builds.
+            The Build Directory has a <filename>conf</filename> directory that
+            contains default versions of your <filename>local.conf</filename>
+            and <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> configuration files.
+            These default configuration files are created only if versions
+            do not already exist in the Build Directory at the time you
+            source the build environment setup script.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Because the Poky repository is fundamentally an aggregation of
+            existing repositories, some users might be familiar with running
+            the <filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename> or
+            <filename>oe-init-build-env-memres</filename> script in the context
+            of separate OpenEmbedded-Core and BitBake repositories rather than a
+            single Poky repository.
+            This discussion assumes the script is executed from within a cloned
+            or unpacked version of Poky.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Depending on where the script is sourced, different sub-scripts
+            are called to set up the Build Directory (Yocto or OpenEmbedded).
+            Specifically, the script
+            <filename>scripts/oe-setup-builddir</filename> inside the
+            poky directory sets up the Build Directory and seeds the directory
+            (if necessary) with configuration files appropriate for the
+            Yocto Project development environment.
+            <note>
+                The <filename>scripts/oe-setup-builddir</filename> script
+                uses the <filename>$TEMPLATECONF</filename> variable to
+                determine which sample configuration files to locate.
+            </note>
+        </para>

+            The <filename>local.conf</filename> file provides many

+            The <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file tells BitBake what
+            layers you want considered during the build.
+            By default, the layers listed in this file include layers
+            minimally needed by the build system.
+            However, you must manually add any custom layers you have created.
+            You can find more information on working with the
+            <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file in the
+            "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#enabling-your-layer'>Enabling Your Layer</ulink>"
+            section in the Yocto Project Development Manual.

+

+            The files <filename>site.conf</filename> and
+            <filename>auto.conf</filename> are not created by the environment
+            initialization script.
+            If you want these configuration files, you must create them
+            yourself:
+            <itemizedlist>
+                <listitem><para><emphasis><filename>site.conf</filename>:</emphasis>
+                    You can use the <filename>conf/site.conf</filename>
+                    configuration file to configure multiple build directories.
+                    For example, suppose you had several build environments and
+                    they shared some common features.
+                    You can set these default build properties here.
+                    A good example is perhaps the level of parallelism you want
+                    to use through the
+                    <link linkend='var-BB_NUMBER_THREADS'><filename>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</filename></link>
+                    and

+                    variables.</para>
+                    <para>One useful scenario for using the

+                    <link linkend='var-BBPATH'><filename>BBPATH</filename></link>

+                    Then, when BitBake looks for Metadata using
+                    <filename>BBPATH</filename>, it finds the
+                    <filename>conf/site.conf</filename> file and applies your
+                    common configurations found in the file.
+                    To override configurations in a particular build directory,
+                    alter the similar configurations within that build

+            In order for the OpenEmbedded build system to create an image or

+            represents source files using the "Upstream Project Releases",

+
+        <para>
+            The method by which source files are ultimately organized is
+            a function of the project.
+            For example, for released software, projects tend to use tarballs
+            or other archived files that can capture the state of a release
+            guaranteeing that it is statically represented.
+            On the other hand, for a project that is more dynamic or
+            experimental in nature, a project might keep source files in a
+            repository controlled by a Source Control Manager (SCM) such as
+            Git.
+            Pulling source from a repository allows you to control
+            the point in the repository (the revision) from which you want to
+            build software.
+            Finally, a combination of the two might exist, which would give the
+            consumer a choice when deciding where to get source files.

+            This area is a cache that can hold previously downloaded source.
+            You can also instruct the OpenEmbedded build system to create
+            tarballs from Git repositories, which is not the default behavior,
+            and store them in the <filename>DL_DIR</filename> by using the

+            A good method for using a download directory is to have
+            <filename>DL_DIR</filename> point to an area outside of your
+            Build Directory.
+            Doing so allows you to safely delete the Build Directory

+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.
+            The
+            <link linkend='general-yocto-environment-figure'>general Yocto Project Development Environment figure</link>

+            This section looks a little closer into the package feeds area used

+            Package feeds are an intermediary step in the build process.
+            BitBake generates packages whose type is defined by the
+            <link linkend='var-PACKAGE_CLASSES'><filename>PACKAGE_CLASSES</filename></link>
+            variable.
+            Before placing the packages into package feeds,
+            the build process validates them with generated output quality
+            assurance checks through the
+            <link linkend='ref-classes-insane'><filename>insane.bbclass</filename></link>
+            class.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The package feed area resides in
+            <filename>tmp/deploy</filename> of the Build Directory.
+            Folders are created that correspond to the package type
+            (IPK, DEB, or RPM) created.
+            Further organization is derived through the value of the
+            <link linkend='var-PACKAGE_ARCH'><filename>PACKAGE_ARCH</filename></link>
+            variable for each package.
+            For example, packages can exist for the i586 or qemux86
+            architectures.
+            The package files themselves reside within the appropriate
+            architecture folder.

+            <para>
+                How does Poky differ from <ulink url='&OE_HOME_URL;'>OpenEmbedded</ulink>?
+            </para>
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <para>
+                The term "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#poky'>Poky</ulink>"
+                refers to the specific reference build system that
+                the Yocto Project provides.
+                Poky is based on <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#oe-core'>OE-Core</ulink>
+                and <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#bitbake-term'>BitBake</ulink>.
+                Thus, the generic term used here for the build system is
+                the "OpenEmbedded build system."
+                Development in the Yocto Project using Poky is closely tied to OpenEmbedded, with
+                changes always being merged to OE-Core or BitBake first before being pulled back
+                into Poky.
+                This practice benefits both projects immediately.

+        <answer>
+            <para>
+                Support for an additional board is added by creating a
+                Board Support Package (BSP) layer for it.
+                For more information on how to create a BSP layer, see the

+            <para>
+                Usually, if the board is not completely exotic, adding support in

+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <para>
+                Because you can use the same set of recipes to create output of
+                various formats, the output of an OpenEmbedded build depends on
+                how you start it.
+                Usually, the output is a flashable image ready for the target
+                device.

+                The OpenEmbedded build system can build packages in various

+                (<filename>.deb</filename>), or RPM.
+                You can then upgrade the packages using the package tools on
+                the device, much like on a desktop distribution such as
+                Ubuntu or Fedora.
+                However, package management on the target is entirely optional.

+            <para>
+                To get the Yocto Project working under RHEL/CentOS 5.1 you need to first
+                install some required packages.
+                The standard CentOS packages needed are:
+                <itemizedlist>
+                    <listitem><para>"Development tools" (selected during installation)</para></listitem>

+                On top of these, you need the following external packages:

+                Once these packages are installed, the OpenEmbedded build system will be able
+                to build standard images.
+                However, there might be a problem with the QEMU emulator segfaulting.
+                You can either disable the generation of binary locales by setting
+                <filename><link linkend='var-ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION'>ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION</link>
+                </filename> to "0" or by removing the <filename>linux-2.6-execshield.patch</filename>
+                from the kernel and rebuilding it since that is the patch that causes the problems with QEMU.

+            <para>
+                Nothing is wrong.
+                The OpenEmbedded build system checks any configured source mirrors before downloading
+                from the upstream sources.
+                The build system does this searching for both source archives and
+                pre-checked out versions of SCM-managed software.
+                These checks help in large installations because it can reduce load on the SCM servers
+                themselves.
+                The address above is one of the default mirrors configured into the
+                build system.
+                Consequently, if an upstream source disappears, the team
+                can place sources there so builds continue to work.

+                This is a difficult question and you need to consult your lawyer
+                for the answer for your specific case.
+                It is worth bearing in mind that for GPL compliance, there needs
+                to be enough information shipped to allow someone else to
+                rebuild and produce the same end result you are shipping.
+                This means sharing the source code, any patches applied to it,
+                and also any configuration information about how that package
+                was configured and built.

+                By default, the OpenEmbedded build system creates images

+                        variable to define the size of the image in Kbytes.
+                        The build system determines the size by taking into

+                How do I use an external toolchain?
+            </para>
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <para>
+                The toolchain configuration is very flexible and customizable.
+                It is primarily controlled with the
+                <filename><link linkend='var-TCMODE'>TCMODE</link></filename>
+                variable.
+                This variable controls which <filename>tcmode-*.inc</filename>
+                file to include from the
+                <filename>meta/conf/distro/include</filename> directory within
+                the
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                The default value of <filename>TCMODE</filename> is "default"
+                (i.e. <filename>tcmode-default.inc</filename>).
+                However, other patterns are accepted.
+                In particular, "external-*" refers to external toolchains of
+                which there are some basic examples included in the
+                OpenEmbedded Core (<filename>meta</filename>).
+                You can use your own custom toolchain definition in your own
+                layer (or as defined in the <filename>local.conf</filename>
+                file) at the location
+                <filename>conf/distro/include/tcmode-*.inc</filename>.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                In addition to the toolchain configuration, you also need a
+                corresponding toolchain recipe file.
+                This recipe file needs to package up any pre-built objects in
+                the toolchain such as <filename>libgcc</filename>,
+                <filename>libstdcc++</filename>, any locales, and
+                <filename>libc</filename>.
+                An example is the
+                <filename>external-sourcery-toolchain.bb</filename>, which is
+                located in <filename>meta/recipes-core/meta/</filename> within
+                the Source Directory.

+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <para>
+                The way the build system obtains source code is highly
+                configurable.
+                You can setup the build system to get source code in most
+                environments if HTTP transport is available.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                When the build system searches for source code, it first
+                tries the local download directory.
+                If that location fails, Poky tries
+                <link linkend='var-PREMIRRORS'><filename>PREMIRRORS</filename></link>,
+                the upstream source, and then

+                in that order.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                Assuming your distribution is "poky", the OpenEmbedded build
+                system uses the Yocto Project source
+                <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> by default for SCM-based
+                sources, upstreams for normal tarballs, and then falls back
+                to a number of other mirrors including the Yocto Project
+                source mirror if those fail.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                As an example, you could add a specific server for the
+                build system to attempt before any others by adding something
+                like the following to the <filename>local.conf</filename>
+                configuration file:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PREMIRRORS_prepend = "\

+            </para>
+            <para>
+                These changes cause the build system to intercept Git, FTP,
+                HTTP, and HTTPS requests and direct them to the
+                <filename>http://</filename> sources mirror.
+                You can use <filename>file://</filename> URLs to point to
+                local directories or network shares as well.
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                Aside from the previous technique, these options also exist:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"
+                </literallayout>
+                 This statement tells BitBake to issue an error instead of
+                 trying to access the Internet.
+                 This technique is useful if you want to ensure code builds

+             </para>
+             <para>

+                 </literallayout>
+                 This statement limits the build system to pulling source
+                 from the <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> only.
+                 Again, this technique is useful for reproducing builds.
+             </para>
+             <para>

+     BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1"
+                 </literallayout>
+                 This statement tells the build system to generate mirror
+                 tarballs.
+                 This technique is useful if you want to create a mirror server.
+                 If not, however, the technique can simply waste time during
+                 the build.
+             </para>
+             <para>
+                 Finally, consider an example where you are behind an
+                 HTTP-only firewall.
+                 You could make the following changes to the
+                 <filename>local.conf</filename> configuration file as long as
+                 the <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> server is current:
+                 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PREMIRRORS_prepend = "\

+     BB_FETCH_PREMIRRORONLY = "1"
+                 </literallayout>
+                 These changes would cause the build system to successfully
+                 fetch source over HTTP and any network accesses to anything
+                 other than the <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> would fail.
+             </para>
+             <para>
+                 The build system also honors the standard shell environment

+        This manual provides reference information for the current release of the Yocto Project.
+        The Yocto Project is an open-source collaboration project focused on embedded Linux
+        developers.
+        Amongst other things, the Yocto Project uses the OpenEmbedded build system, which
+        is based on the Poky project, to construct complete Linux images.
+        You can find complete introductory and getting started information on the Yocto Project
+        by reading the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;'>Yocto Project Quick Start</ulink>.
+        For task-based information using the Yocto Project, see the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;'>Yocto Project Development Manual</ulink>
+        and the <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_KERNEL_DEV_URL;'>Yocto Project Linux Kernel Development Manual</ulink>.
+        For Board Support Package (BSP) structure information, see the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;'>Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide</ulink>.
+        You can also find lots of Yocto Project information on the

+            releases are one hundred percent compatible with each officially
+            supported Linux distribution, instances might exist where you
+            encounter a problem while using the Yocto Project on a specific
+            distribution.
+            For example, the CentOS 6.4 distribution does not include the

+
+        <para>
+            If your host development system does not meet all these requirements,
+            you can resolve this by either downloading a pre-built tarball
+            containing these tools, or building such a tarball on another
+            system.
+            Regardless of the method, once you have the tarball, you simply
+            install it somewhere on your system, such as a directory in your
+            home directory, and then source the environment script provided,
+            which adds the tools into <filename>PATH</filename> and sets
+            any other environment variables required to run the tools.
+            Doing so gives you working versions of Git, tar, Python and
+            <filename>chrpath</filename>.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>

+
+        <para>
+            If building your own tarball, do so using this command:

+     $ bitbake buildtools-tarball
+            </literallayout>

+                or 64-bit system.
+            </note>
+            Once the build completes, you can find the file that installs the
+            the tools in the <filename>tmp/deploy/sdk</filename> subdirectory
+            of the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.

+
+        <para>
+            After you have either built the tarball or downloaded it, you need
+            to install it.
+            Install the tools by executing the <filename>*.sh</filename> file.
+            During execution, a prompt appears that allows you to choose the
+            installation directory.
+            For example, you could choose the following:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     /home/your-username/sdk
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The final step before you can actually use the tools is to source
+            the tools environment with a command like the following:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ source /home/your-username/sdk/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
+            </literallayout>
+            Of course, you need to supply your installation directory and be
+            sure to use the right file (i.e. i585 or x86-64).

+            for improved usability in path and file names.
+            This change should be safe within contexts where these revisions

+            is very low.

+        BitBake strives to be a generic "task" executor that is capable of handling complex dependency relationships.
+        As such, it has no real knowledge of what the tasks being executed actually do.
+        BitBake just considers a list of tasks with dependencies and handles
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>
+        consisting of variables in a certain format that get passed to the tasks.

+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The first thing BitBake does is look for the <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> file.
+            This file resides in the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
+            within the <filename>meta/conf/</filename> directory.
+            BitBake finds it by examining its
+            <link linkend='var-BBPATH'><filename>BBPATH</filename></link> environment
+            variable and looking for the <filename>meta/conf/</filename>
+            directory.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> file lists other configuration
+            files to include from a <filename>conf/</filename>
+            directory below the directories listed in <filename>BBPATH</filename>.
+            In general, the most important configuration file from a user's perspective
+            is <filename>local.conf</filename>, which contains a user's customized
+            settings for the OpenEmbedded build environment.
+            Other notable configuration files are the distribution
+            configuration file (set by the
+            <filename><link linkend='var-DISTRO'>DISTRO</link></filename> variable)
+            and the machine configuration file
+            (set by the
+            <filename><link linkend='var-MACHINE'>MACHINE</link></filename> variable).
+            The <filename>DISTRO</filename> and <filename>MACHINE</filename> BitBake environment
+            variables are both usually set in
+            the <filename>local.conf</filename> file.
+            Valid distribution
+            configuration files are available in the <filename>meta/conf/distro/</filename> directory
+            and valid machine configuration
+            files in the <filename>meta/conf/machine/</filename> directory.
+            Within the <filename>meta/conf/machine/include/</filename>
+            directory are various <filename>tune-*.inc</filename> configuration files that provide common
+            "tuning" settings specific to and shared between particular architectures and machines.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            After the parsing of the configuration files, some standard classes are included.
+            The <filename>base.bbclass</filename> file is always included.
+            Other classes that are specified in the configuration using the
+            <filename><link linkend='var-INHERIT'>INHERIT</link></filename>
+            variable are also included.
+            Class files are searched for in a <filename>classes</filename> subdirectory
+            under the paths in <filename>BBPATH</filename> in the same way as
+            configuration files.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            After classes are included, the variable
+            <filename><link linkend='var-BBFILES'>BBFILES</link></filename>
+            is set, usually in
+            <filename>local.conf</filename>, and defines the list of places to search for
+            <filename>.bb</filename> files.
+            By default, the <filename>BBFILES</filename> variable specifies the
+            <filename>meta/recipes-*/</filename> directory within Poky.
+            Adding extra content to <filename>BBFILES</filename> is best achieved through the use of
+            BitBake layers as described in the
+            "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#understanding-and-creating-layers'>Understanding and
+            Creating Layers</ulink>" section of the Yocto Project Development Manual.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            BitBake parses each <filename>.bb</filename> file in <filename>BBFILES</filename> and
+            stores the values of various variables.
+            In summary, for each <filename>.bb</filename>
+            file the configuration plus the base class of variables are set, followed
+            by the data in the <filename>.bb</filename> file
+            itself, followed by any inherit commands that
+            <filename>.bb</filename> file might contain.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Because parsing <filename>.bb</filename> files is a time
+            consuming process, a cache is kept to speed up subsequent parsing.
+            This cache is invalid if the timestamp of the <filename>.bb</filename>
+            file itself changes, or if the timestamps of any of the include,
+            configuration files or class files on which the
+            <filename>.bb</filename> file depends change.

+        <title>Preferences and Providers</title>
+
+        <para>
+            Once all the <filename>.bb</filename> files have been
+            parsed, BitBake starts to build the target (<filename>core-image-sato</filename>
+            in the previous section's example) and looks for providers of that target.
+            Once a provider is selected, BitBake resolves all the dependencies for
+            the target.
+            In the case of <filename>core-image-sato</filename>, it would lead to
+            <filename>packagegroup-core-x11-sato</filename>,
+            which in turn leads to recipes like <filename>matchbox-terminal</filename>,
+            <filename>pcmanfm</filename> and <filename>gthumb</filename>.
+            These recipes in turn depend on <filename>eglibc</filename> and the toolchain.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Sometimes a target might have multiple providers.
+            A common example is "virtual/kernel", which is provided by each kernel package.
+            Each machine often selects the best kernel provider by using a line similar to the
+            following in the machine configuration file:
+        </para>
+
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-yocto"

+        <para>
+            The default <filename><link linkend='var-PREFERRED_PROVIDER'>PREFERRED_PROVIDER</link></filename>
+            is the provider with the same name as the target.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Understanding how providers are chosen is made complicated by the fact
+            that multiple versions might exist.
+            BitBake defaults to the highest version of a provider.
+            Version comparisons are made using the same method as Debian.
+            You can use the
+            <filename><link linkend='var-PREFERRED_VERSION'>PREFERRED_VERSION</link></filename>
+            variable to specify a particular version (usually in the distro configuration).
+            You can influence the order by using the
+            <filename><link linkend='var-DEFAULT_PREFERENCE'>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</link></filename>
+            variable.
+            By default, files have a preference of "0".
+            Setting the <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> to "-1" makes the
+            package unlikely to be used unless it is explicitly referenced.
+            Setting the <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> to "1" makes it likely the package is used.
+            <filename>PREFERRED_VERSION</filename> overrides any <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> setting.
+            <filename>DEFAULT_PREFERENCE</filename> is often used to mark newer and more experimental package
+            versions until they have undergone sufficient testing to be considered stable.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            In summary, BitBake has created a list of providers, which is prioritized, for each target.

+
+        <para>
+            Dependencies are defined through several variables.

+            Based on the generated list of providers and the dependency information,

+            order it needs to run them.
+            The build now starts with BitBake forking off threads up to the limit set in the
+            <filename><link linkend='var-BB_NUMBER_THREADS'>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</link></filename> variable.
+            BitBake continues to fork threads as long as there are tasks ready to run,

+            exceeded.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            It is worth noting that you can greatly speed up the build time by properly setting

+            "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;#building-image'>Building an Image</ulink>"

+            As each task completes, a timestamp is written to the directory specified by the
+            <filename><link linkend='var-STAMP'>STAMP</link></filename> variable.
+            On subsequent runs, BitBake looks within the <filename>build/tmp/stamps</filename>
+            directory and does not rerun
+            tasks that are already completed unless a timestamp is found to be invalid.
+            Currently, invalid timestamps are only considered on a per
+            <filename>.bb</filename> file basis.
+            So, for example, if the configure stamp has a timestamp greater than the
+            compile timestamp for a given target, then the compile task would rerun.
+            Running the compile task again, however, has no effect on other providers
+            that depend on that target.
+            This behavior could change or become configurable in future versions of BitBake.

+            Tasks can either be a shell task or a Python task.
+            For shell tasks, BitBake writes a shell script to
+            <filename>${WORKDIR}/temp/run.do_taskname.pid</filename> and then executes the script.
+            The generated shell script contains all the exported variables, and the shell functions
+            with all variables expanded.
+            Output from the shell script goes to the file <filename>${WORKDIR}/temp/log.do_taskname.pid</filename>.
+            Looking at the expanded shell functions in the run file and the output in the log files

+
+        <para>
+            For Python tasks, BitBake executes the task internally and logs information to the

+            Future versions of BitBake will write the functions to files similar to the way
+            shell tasks are handled.

+            When running a task, BitBake tightly controls the execution environment
+            of the build tasks to make sure unwanted contamination from the build machine
+            cannot influence the build.
+            Consequently, if you do want something to get passed into the build
+            task's environment, you must take a few steps:

+                <listitem><para>Tell BitBake to load what you want from the environment

+                    You can do so through the <filename>BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE</filename>
+                    variable.
+                    For example, assume you want to prevent the build system from
+                    accessing your <filename>$HOME/.ccache</filename> directory.
+                    The following command tells BitBake to load

+                    store:

+                    (previous step) only makes it available in the datastore.
+                    To export it to the task environment of every running task,
+                    use a command similar to the following in your
+                    <filename>local.conf</filename> or distro configuration file:

+        </para>
+
+        <note>
+            A side effect of the previous steps is that BitBake records the variable
+            as a dependency of the build process in things like the shared state
+            checksums.
+            If doing so results in unnecessary rebuilds of tasks, you can whitelist the
+            variable so that the shared state code ignores the dependency when it creates
+            checksums.
+            For information on this process, see the <filename>BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST</filename>

+            BitBake also contains a set of "fetcher" modules that allow
+            retrieval of source code from various types of sources.
+            For example, BitBake can get source code from a disk with the metadata, from websites,
+            from remote shell accounts, or from Source Code Management (SCM) systems
+            like <filename>cvs/subversion/git</filename>.
+        </para>
+

+            One useful feature for certain Source Code Manager (SCM) fetchers is the ability to
+            "auto-update" when the upstream SCM changes version.
+            Since this ability requires certain functionality from the SCM, not all
+            systems support it.
+            Currently Subversion, Bazaar and to a limited extent, Git support the ability to "auto-update".
+            This feature works using the <filename><link linkend='var-SRCREV'>SRCREV</link></filename>

+    found in a <filename>.bb</filename> file can also be placed in a class
+    file.
+    Class files are identified by the extension <filename>.bbclass</filename> and are usually placed

+    (e.g. <filename>build/</filename>) in the same way as
+    <filename>.conf</filename> files in the <filename>conf</filename> directory.

+    using the same method by which <filename>.conf</filename> files are searched.

+    This chapter discusses only the most useful and important classes.

+
+    <para>
+        The base class is special in that every <filename>.bb</filename>
+        file inherits it automatically.
+        This class contains definitions for standard basic
+        tasks such as fetching, unpacking, configuring (empty by default), compiling
+        (runs any <filename>Makefile</filename> present), installing (empty by default) and packaging
+        (empty by default).
+        These classes are often overridden or extended by other classes
+        such as <filename>autotools.bbclass</filename> or <filename>package.bbclass</filename>.
+        The class also contains some commonly used functions such as <filename>oe_runmake</filename>.

+        Autotools (<filename>autoconf</filename>, <filename>automake</filename>,
+        and <filename>libtool</filename>) bring standardization.
+        This class defines a set of tasks (configure, compile etc.) that
+        work for all Autotooled packages.
+        It should usually be enough to define a few standard variables
+        and then simply <filename>inherit autotools</filename>.
+        This class can also work with software that emulates Autotools.
+        For more information, see the
+        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#usingpoky-extend-addpkg-autotools'>Autotooled Package</ulink>"

+
+    <para>
+        It's useful to have some idea of how the tasks defined by this class work

+    <title>Alternatives - <filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename></title>
+
+    <para>
+        This class helps the alternatives system when multiple sources provide
+        the same command.
+        This situation occurs when several programs that have the same or
+        similar function are installed with the same name.
+        For example, the <filename>ar</filename> command is available from the
+        <filename>busybox</filename>, <filename>binutils</filename> and
+        <filename>elfutils</filename> packages.
+        The <filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename> class handles
+        renaming the binaries so that multiple packages can be installed
+        without conflicts.
+        The <filename>ar</filename> command still works regardless of which
+        packages are installed or subsequently removed.
+        The class renames the conflicting binary in each package and symlinks
+        the highest priority binary during installation or removal of packages.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        To use this class, you need to define a number of variables:
+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem><para><link linkend='var-ALTERNATIVE'><filename>ALTERNATIVE</filename></link>

+                </para></listitem>
+        </itemizedlist>
+        These variables list alternative commands needed by a package,
+        provide pathnames for links, default links for targets, and
+        so forth.
+        For details on how to use this class, see the comments in the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/classes/update-alternatives.bbclass'><filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename></ulink>.
+    </para>
+
+    <note>
+        You can use the <filename>update-alternatives</filename> command
+        directly in your recipes.
+        However, this class simplifies things in most cases.

+        This class uses <filename>update-rc.d</filename> to safely install an
+        initialization script on behalf of the package.
+        The OpenEmbedded build system takes care of details such as making sure the script is stopped before
+        a package is removed and started when the package is installed.

+        This class helps to correct paths in shell scripts.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Before <filename>pkg-config</filename> had become widespread, libraries
+        shipped shell scripts to give information about the libraries and
+        include paths needed to build software (usually named
+        <filename>LIBNAME-config</filename>).
+        This class assists any recipe using such scripts.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        During staging, the OpenEmbedded build system installs such scripts
+        into the <filename>sysroots/</filename> directory.
+        Inheriting this class results in all paths in these scripts being
+        changed to point into the <filename>sysroots/</filename> directory so
+        that all builds that use the script use the correct directories
+        for the cross compiling layout.
+        See the

+        The package class you choose can affect build-time performance and has space
+        ramifications.
+        In general, building a package with IPK takes about thirty percent less
+        time as compared to using RPM to build the same or similar package.
+        This comparison takes into account a complete build of the package with
+        all dependencies previously built.
+        The reason for this discrepancy is because the RPM package manager
+        creates and processes more
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink> than the
+        IPK package manager.
+        Consequently, you might consider setting <filename>PACKAGE_CLASSES</filename>
+        to "package_ipk" if you are building smaller systems.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Before making your decision on package manager, however, you should

+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem><para>
+                RPM starts to provide more abilities than IPK due to
+                the fact that it processes more metadata.
+                For example, this information includes individual file types,
+                file checksum generation and evaluation on install, sparse file
+                support, conflict detection and resolution for Multilib systems,
+                ACID style upgrade, and repackaging abilities for rollbacks.
+                </para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para>
+                For smaller systems, the extra space used for the Berkley

+        This class handles building Linux kernels.

+
+    <para>
+        This means that each built kernel module is packaged separately and inter-module

+<title><filename>insane.bbclass</filename></title>
+
+    <para>
+        This class adds a step to the package generation process so that
+        output quality assurance checks are generated by the OpenEmbedded
+        build system.
+        A range of checks are performed that check the build's output
+        for common problems that show up during runtime.
+        Distribution policy usually dictates whether to include this class.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        You can configure the sanity checks so that specific test failures
+        either raise a warning or an error message.
+        Typically, failures for new tests generate a warning.
+        Subsequent failures for the same test would then generate an error
+        message once the metadata is in a known and good condition.

+         variables to control the behavior of
+        these checks at the global level (i.e. in your custom distro

+        However, to skip one or more checks in recipes, you should use
+        <link linkend='var-INSANE_SKIP'><filename>INSANE_SKIP</filename></link>.
+        For example, to skip the check for symbolic link
+        <filename>.so</filename> files in the main package of a recipe,
+        add the following to the recipe.
+        You need to realize that the package name override, in this example

+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "dev-so"
+        </literallayout>
+        Please keep in mind that the QA checks exist in order to detect real

+    <title>Removing Work Files During the Build - <filename>rm_work.bbclass</filename></title>
+
+    <para>
+        The OpenEmbedded build system can use a substantial amount of disk
+        space during the build process.
+        A portion of this space is the work files under the
+        <filename>${TMPDIR}/work</filename> directory for each recipe.
+        Once the build system generates the packages for a recipe, the work
+        files for that recipe are no longer needed.
+        However, by default, the build system preserves these files
+        for inspection and possible debugging purposes.
+        If you would rather have these files deleted to save disk space
+        as the build progresses, you can enable <filename>rm_work</filename>
+        by adding the following to your <filename>local.conf</filename> file,
+        which is found in the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+    INHERIT += "rm_work"
+        </literallayout>
+        If you are modifying and building source code out of the work directory
+        for a recipe, enabling <filename>rm_work</filename> will potentially
+        result in your changes to the source being lost.
+        To exclude some recipes from having their work directories deleted by
+        <filename>rm_work</filename>, you can add the names of the recipe or
+        recipes you are working on to the <filename>RM_WORK_EXCLUDE</filename>
+        variable, which can also be set in your <filename>local.conf</filename>
+        file.
+        Here is an example:

+    <title>Reference: Features</title>
+
+    <para>
+        This chapter provides a reference of shipped machine and distro features
+        you can include as part of the image, a reference on image types you can
+        build, and a reference on feature backfilling.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Features provide a mechanism for working out which packages
+        should be included in the generated images.
+        Distributions can select which features they want to support through the
+        <filename><link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'>DISTRO_FEATURES</link></filename>
+        variable, which is set in the <filename>poky.conf</filename> distribution configuration file.
+        Machine features are set in the
+        <filename><link linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES'>MACHINE_FEATURES</link></filename>
+        variable, which is set in the machine configuration file and
+        specifies the hardware features for a given machine.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        These two variables combine to work out which kernel modules,
+        utilities, and other packages to include.
+        A given distribution can support a selected subset of features so some machine features might not
+        be included if the distribution itself does not support them.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        One method you can use to determine which recipes are checking to see if a
+        particular feature is contained or not is to <filename>grep</filename> through
+        the <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>
+        for the feature.
+        Here is an example that discovers the recipes whose build is potentially
+        changed based on a given feature:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd poky
+     $ git grep 'contains.*MACHINE_FEATURES.*&lt;feature&gt;'
+        </literallayout>

+        <para>
+            The items below are features you can use with
+            <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename></link>.
+            Features do not have a one-to-one correspondence to packages, and they can
+            go beyond simply controlling the installation of a package or packages.
+            Sometimes a feature can influence how certain recipes are built.
+            For example, a feature might determine whether a particular configure option
+            is specified within <filename>do_configure</filename> for a particular
+            recipe.

+
+        <para>
+            Sometimes it is necessary in the OpenEmbedded build system to extend
+            <link linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES'><filename>MACHINE_FEATURES</filename></link>
+            or <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename></link>
+            to control functionality that was previously enabled and not able
+            to be disabled.
+            For these cases, we need to add an
+            additional feature item to appear in one of these variables,
+            but we do not want to force developers who have existing values
+            of the variables in their configuration to add the new feature
+            in order to retain the same overall level of functionality.
+            Thus, the OpenEmbedded build system has a mechanism to
+            automatically "backfill" these added features into existing
+            distro or machine configurations.
+            You can see the list of features for which this is done by
+            finding the
+            <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL</filename></link>
+            and <link linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL'><filename>MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL</filename></link>

+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Because such features are backfilled by default into all
+            configurations as described in the previous paragraph, developers
+            who wish to disable the new features need to be able to selectively
+            prevent the backfilling from occurring.
+            They can do this by adding the undesired feature or features to the
+            <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED</filename></link>
+            or <link linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED'><filename>MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED</filename></link>
+            variables for distro features and machine features respectively.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Here are two examples to help illustrate feature backfilling:
+            <itemizedlist>
+                <listitem><para><emphasis>The "pulseaudio" distro feature option</emphasis>:
+                    Previously, PulseAudio support was enabled within the Qt and
+                    GStreamer frameworks.
+                    Because of this, the feature is backfilled and thus
+                    enabled for all distros through the
+                    <filename>DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL</filename>
+                    variable in the <filename>meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename> file.
+                    However, your distro needs to disable the feature.
+                    You can disable the feature without affecting
+                    other existing distro configurations that need PulseAudio support
+                    by adding "pulseaudio" to
+                    <filename>DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED</filename>

+                    Because of this, the feature is backfilled and thus enabled

+    <title>Images</title>
+
+    <para>
+        The OpenEmbedded build system provides several example
+        images to satisfy different needs.
+        When you issue the <filename>bitbake</filename> command you provide a “top-level” recipe
+        that essentially begins the build for the type of image you want.
+    </para>
+
+    <note>
+        Building an image without GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3) components
+        is only supported for minimal and base images.
+        Furthermore, if you are going to build an image using non-GPLv3 components,
+        you must make the following changes in the <filename>local.conf</filename> file
+        before using the BitBake command to build the minimal or base image:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     1. Comment out the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line
+     2. Set INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPLv3"
+        </literallayout>
+    </note>
+
+    <para>
+        From within the <filename>poky</filename> Git repository, use the following command to list
+        the supported images:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ ls meta*/recipes*/images/*.bb
+        </literallayout>
+        These recipes reside in the <filename>meta/recipes-core/images</filename>,
+        <filename>meta/recipes-extended/images</filename>,
+        <filename>meta/recipes-graphics/images</filename>,
+        <filename>meta/recipes-qt/images</filename>,
+        <filename>meta/recipes-rt/images</filename>,

+        <filename>meta-skeleton/recipes-multilib/images</filename> directories
+        within the <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
+        Although the recipe names are somewhat explanatory, here is a list that describes them:

+    <tip>
+        From the Yocto Project release 1.1 onwards, <filename>-live</filename> and
+        <filename>-directdisk</filename> images have been replaced by a "live"
+        option in <filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename> that will work with any image to produce an
+        image file that can be
+        copied directly to a CD or USB device and run as is.
+        To build a live image, simply add
+        "live" to <filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename> within the <filename>local.conf</filename>
+        file or wherever appropriate and then build the desired image as normal.
+    </tip>

+
+   Structure
+   ---------
+
+   The stylesheet is divided into the following sections:
+
+       Positioning
+          Margins, paddings, width, font-size, clearing.
+       Decorations
+          Borders, style
+       Colors
+          Colors
+       Graphics
+          Graphical backgrounds
+       Nasty IE tweaks
+          Workarounds needed to make it work in internet explorer,
+          currently makes the stylesheet non validating, but up until
+          this point it is validating.

+                   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>
+                   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"

+            <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"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    For more information on the alternatives system, see the
+                    "<link linkend='ref-classes-update-alternatives'>Alternatives - <filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename></link>"
+                    section.

+            <glossdef>
+                <para>
+                    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:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[bracket] = "/usr/bin/["
+                    </literallayout>
+                    In this example, the binary for the
+                    <filename>bracket</filename> command (i.e.
+                    <filename>[</filename>) from the
+                    <filename>busybox</filename> package resides in

+                    <note>
+                        If <filename>ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME</filename> is not
+                        defined, it defaults to

+                    Used by the alternatives system to create default
+                    priorities for duplicated commands.
+                    You can use the variable to create a single default
+                    regardless of the command name or package, a default for
+                    specific duplicated commands regardless of the package, or
+                    a default for specific commands tied to particular packages.
+                    Here are the available syntax forms:

+                    locations for duplicated commands.
+                    You can use the variable to create a single default
+                    location for all duplicated commands regardless of the
+                    command name or package, a default for

+                    in which the OpenEmbedded build system places generated
+                    objects during a recipe's build process.
+                    By default, this directory is the same as the <link linkend='var-S'><filename>S</filename></link>
+                    directory, which is defined as:

+                    </literallayout>
+                    You can separate the (<filename>S</filename>) directory

+                    variable.
+                    Most Autotools-based recipes support separating these

+                    The build system defaults to using separate directories for

+                    Setting this variable allows you to prioritize a
+                    layer against other layers that contain the same recipe - effectively
+                    letting you control the precedence for the multiple layers.
+                    The precedence established through this variable stands regardless of a

+                    (<link linkend='var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link> variable).
+                    For example, a layer that has a recipe with a higher <filename>PV</filename> value but for
+                    which the <filename>BBFILE_PRIORITY</filename> is set to have a lower precedence still has a

+                <para>A larger value for the <filename>BBFILE_PRIORITY</filename> variable results in a higher

+                    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

+                    The default priority, if unspecified

+                    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>
+                    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 \

+
+                <para>
+                    A relationship exists between the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> and

+                    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

+                        character if you are prepending.
+                        The trailing colon character is necessary because you
+                        are directing BitBake to extend the path by prepending

+     FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    In this example, the build system extends the
+                    <filename>FILESPATH</filename> variable to include a

+                    size for cases when the multiplier times the returned disk usage value
+                    for the image is greater than the sum of

+                    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>

+
+                <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"

+
+                <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>

+                <para>Suppose, for example, you have a set of recipes that

+                    The <filename>KBRANCH</filename> variable is optional.
+                    You can use it to trigger checks to ensure the exact kernel branch you want is

+                    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 3.4 kernel, the kernel recipe file is the
+                    <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.4.bb</filename> file.
+                    Following is the default value for <filename>KBRANCH</filename> and the default

+
+                <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_3.4.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"
+
+     COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_crownbay-noemgd = "crownbay-noemgd"
+     KMACHINE_crownbay-noemgd  = "crownbay"
+     KBRANCH_crownbay-noemgd  = "standard/crownbay"
+                    </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:

+     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>

+                    you will find the following statements among others:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_cedartrail = "cedartrail"
+     KMACHINE_cedartrail  = "cedartrail"

+     KERNEL_FEATURES_append_cedartrail += "bsp/cedartrail/cedartrail-pvr-merge.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>
+                    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"

+                    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.

+                    For example, the linux-yocto kernel recipes all define
+                    the variable as follows:

+                    Defining this variable essentially sets the

+                    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

+                    This variable provides a means of enabling or disabling

+                    <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:

+                    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:

+                    <filename>librsvg</filename> recipe.
+                    In this example the feature is <filename>croco</filename>,
+                    which has three arguments that determine the feature's

+                    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

+
+                <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

+                    If you want to change an existing

+                    one of two ways:

+                        <listitem><para><emphasis>Append file:</emphasis>
+                            Create an append file named

+                            layer and override the value of

+                            You can either completely override the variable:

+                            </literallayout>
+                            Or, you can just append the variable:

+                            This method is identical to changing the block
+                            through an append file except you edit your

+                    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} = "&lt;package&gt; (&lt;operator&gt; &lt;version&gt;)"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    For <filename>operator</filename>, you can specify the
+                    following:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     =

+     &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'>

+                    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.

+                    When you use the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable
+                    in a recipe, you are essentially stating that the recipe's
+                    <filename>do_build</filename> task depends on the existence
+                    of a specific package.
+                    Consider this simple example for two recipes named "a" and
+                    "b" that produce similarly named 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 <filename>do_package_write</filename> 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 in use (i.e. rpm, opkg, or dpkg).

+
+                <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>
+                    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 <filename>debian.bbclass</filename>.

+
+                <para>
+                    In many cases you do not need to explicitly add
+                    runtime dependencies using

+                    handling occurs:

+                    The package being built does not depend on this list of

+                    However, you can remove these packages later if you want.

+                    For example, suppose you are building a development package
+                    that is extended to support wireless functionality.

+                    Although the syntax varies depending on the packaging
+                    format, BitBake hides these differences from you.
+                    Here is the general syntax to specify versions with

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

+     &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'>

+        The BitBake task executor together with various types of configuration files form the
+        OpenEmbedded Core.

+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        BitBake handles the parsing and execution of the data files.

+        BitBake knows how to combine multiple data sources together and refers to each data source
+        as a layer.
+        For information on layers, see the
+        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#understanding-and-creating-layers'>Understanding and
+        Creating Layers</ulink>" section of the Yocto Project Development Manual.

+        Following are some brief details on these core components.
+        For more detailed information on these components, see the

+        <title>BitBake</title>
+
+        <para>
+            BitBake is the tool at the heart of the OpenEmbedded build system
+            and is responsible for parsing the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>,
+            generating a list of tasks from it, and then executing those tasks.
+            To see a list of the options BitBake supports, use either of
+            the following commands:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake -h
+     $ bitbake --help
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The most common usage for BitBake is <filename>bitbake &lt;packagename&gt;</filename>, where
+            <filename>packagename</filename> is the name of the package you want to build
+            (referred to as the "target" in this manual).
+            The target often equates to the first part of a <filename>.bb</filename> filename.
+            So, to process the <filename>matchbox-desktop_1.2.3.bb</filename> recipe file, you
+            might type the following:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
+            </literallayout>
+            Several different versions of <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename> might exist.
+            BitBake chooses the one selected by the distribution configuration.
+            You can get more details about how BitBake chooses between different
+            target versions and providers in the
+            "<link linkend='ref-bitbake-providers'>Preferences and Providers</link>" section.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            BitBake also tries to execute any dependent tasks first.
+            So for example, before building <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename>, BitBake
+            would build a cross compiler and <filename>eglibc</filename> if they had not already
+            been built.
+            <note>This release of the Yocto Project does not support the <filename>glibc</filename>
+                GNU version of the Unix standard C library.  By default, the OpenEmbedded build system
+                builds with <filename>eglibc</filename>.</note>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            A useful BitBake option to consider is the <filename>-k</filename> or
+            <filename>--continue</filename> option.
+            This option instructs BitBake to try and continue processing the job as much
+            as possible even after encountering an error.
+            When an error occurs, the target that
+            failed and those that depend on it cannot be remade.
+            However, when you use this option other dependencies can still be processed.
+        </para>
+    </section>

+    <section id='usingpoky-components-metadata'>
+        <title>Metadata (Recipes)</title>
+
+        <para>
+            The <filename>.bb</filename> files are usually referred to as "recipes."
+            In general, a recipe contains information about a single piece of software.
+            This information includes the location from which to download the
+            unaltered source, any source patches to be applied to that source
+            (if needed), which special configuration options to apply,
+            how to compile the source files, and how to package the compiled output.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The term "package" is sometimes used to refer to recipes. However,
+            since the word "package" is used for the packaged output from the OpenEmbedded
+            build system (i.e. <filename>.ipk</filename> or <filename>.deb</filename> files),
+            this document avoids using the term "package" when referring to recipes.
+        </para>

+    <section id='usingpoky-components-classes'>
+        <title>Classes</title>
+
+        <para>
+            Class files (<filename>.bbclass</filename>) contain information that
+            is useful to share between
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink> files.
+            An example is the Autotools class, which contains
+            common settings for any application that Autotools uses.
+            The "<link linkend='ref-classes'>Classes</link>" chapter provides details
+            about common classes and how to use them.

+        <title>Configuration</title>
+
+        <para>
+            The configuration files (<filename>.conf</filename>) define various configuration variables
+            that govern the OpenEmbedded build process.
+            These files fall into several areas that define machine configuration options,
+            distribution configuration options, compiler tuning options, general common configuration
+            options, and user configuration options in <filename>local.conf</filename>, which is found

+        Most of the work occurs on the Build Host.
+        This is the machine used to build images and generally work within the
+        the Yocto Project environment.
+        When you run BitBake to create an image, the OpenEmbedded build system
+        uses the host <filename>gcc</filename> compiler to bootstrap a
+        cross-compiler named <filename>gcc-cross</filename>.
+        The <filename>gcc-cross</filename> compiler is what BitBake uses to
+        compile source files when creating the target image.
+        You can think of <filename>gcc-cross</filename> simply as an

+
+    <para>
+        By design, the OpenEmbedded build system builds everything from scratch unless
+        BitBake can determine that parts do not need to be rebuilt.
+        Fundamentally, building from scratch is attractive as it means all parts are
+        built fresh and there is no possibility of stale data causing problems.
+        When developers hit problems, they typically default back to building from scratch
+        so they know the state of things from the start.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Building an image from scratch is both an advantage and a disadvantage to the process.
+        As mentioned in the previous paragraph, building from scratch ensures that
+        everything is current and starts from a known state.
+        However, building from scratch also takes much longer as it generally means
+        rebuilding things that do not necessarily need to be rebuilt.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The Yocto Project implements shared state code that supports incremental builds.
+        The implementation of the shared state code answers the following questions that
+        were fundamental roadblocks within the OpenEmbedded incremental build support system:
+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem><para>What pieces of the system have changed and what pieces have

+        </itemizedlist>
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        For the first question, the build system detects changes in the "inputs" to a given task by
+        creating a checksum (or signature) of the task's inputs.
+        If the checksum changes, the system assumes the inputs have changed and the task needs to be
+        rerun.
+        For the second question, the shared state (sstate) code tracks which tasks add which output
+        to the build process.
+        This means the output from a given task can be removed, upgraded or otherwise manipulated.
+        The third question is partly addressed by the solution for the second question
+        assuming the build system can fetch the sstate objects from remote locations and
+        install them if they are deemed to be valid.

+
+    <note>
+        The OpenEmbedded build system does not maintain

+        <title>Overall Architecture</title>
+
+        <para>
+            When determining what parts of the system need to be built, BitBake
+            works on a per-task basis rather than a per-recipe basis.
+            You might wonder why using a per-task basis is preferred over a per-recipe basis.
+            To help explain, consider having the IPK packaging backend enabled and then switching to DEB.
+            In this case, <filename>do_install</filename> and <filename>do_package</filename>
+            outputs are still valid.
+            However, with a per-recipe approach, the build would not include the
+            <filename>.deb</filename> files.
+            Consequently, you would have to invalidate the whole build and rerun it.
+            Rerunning everything is not the best solution.
+            Also, in this case, the core must be "taught" much about specific tasks.
+            This methodology does not scale well and does not allow users to easily add new tasks
+            in layers or as external recipes without touching the packaged-staging core.
+        </para>
+    </section>
+
+    <section id='checksums'>
+        <title>Checksums (Signatures)</title>
+
+        <para>
+            The shared state code uses a checksum, which is a unique signature of a task's
+            inputs, to determine if a task needs to be run again.
+            Because it is a change in a task's inputs that triggers a rerun, the process
+            needs to detect all the inputs to a given task.
+            For shell tasks, this turns out to be fairly easy because
+            the build process generates a "run" shell script for each task and
+            it is possible to create a checksum that gives you a good idea of when
+            the task's data changes.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To complicate the problem, there are things that should not be included in
+            the checksum.
+            First, there is the actual specific build path of a given task -
+            the <link linkend='var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></link>.
+            It does not matter if the working directory changes because it should not
+            affect the output for target packages.
+            Also, the build process has the objective of making native or cross packages relocatable.
+            The checksum therefore needs to exclude <filename>WORKDIR</filename>.
+            The simplistic approach for excluding the working directory is to set
+            <filename>WORKDIR</filename> to some fixed value and create the checksum
+            for the "run" script.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Another problem results from the "run" scripts containing functions that
+            might or might not get called.
+            The incremental build solution contains code that figures out dependencies
+            between shell functions.
+            This code is used to prune the "run" scripts down to the minimum set,
+            thereby alleviating this problem and making the "run" scripts much more
+            readable as a bonus.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            So far we have solutions for shell scripts.
+            What about Python tasks?
+            The same approach applies even though these tasks are more difficult.
+            The process needs to figure out what variables a Python function accesses
+            and what functions it calls.
+            Again, the incremental build solution contains code that first figures out
+            the variable and function dependencies, and then creates a checksum for the data
+            used as the input to the task.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Like the <filename>WORKDIR</filename> case, situations exist where dependencies
+            should be ignored.
+            For these cases, you can instruct the build process to ignore a dependency
+            by using a line like the following:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     PACKAGE_ARCHS[vardepsexclude] = "MACHINE"
+            </literallayout>
+            This example ensures that the <filename>PACKAGE_ARCHS</filename> variable does not
+            depend on the value of <filename>MACHINE</filename>, even if it does reference it.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Equally, there are cases where we need to add dependencies BitBake is not able to find.
+            You can accomplish this by using a line like the following:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+      PACKAGE_ARCHS[vardeps] = "MACHINE"
+            </literallayout>
+            This example explicitly adds the <filename>MACHINE</filename> variable as a
+            dependency for <filename>PACKAGE_ARCHS</filename>.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Consider a case with in-line Python, for example, where BitBake is not
+            able to figure out dependencies.
+            When running in debug mode (i.e. using <filename>-DDD</filename>), BitBake
+            produces output when it discovers something for which it cannot figure out
+            dependencies.
+            The Yocto Project team has currently not managed to cover those dependencies
+            in detail and is aware of the need to fix this situation.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Thus far, this section has limited discussion to the direct inputs into a task.
+            Information based on direct inputs is referred to as the "basehash" in the
+            code.
+            However, there is still the question of a task's indirect inputs - the
+            things that were already built and present in the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.
+            The checksum (or signature) for a particular task needs to add the hashes
+            of all the tasks on which the particular task depends.
+            Choosing which dependencies to add is a policy decision.
+            However, the effect is to generate a master checksum that combines the basehash
+            and the hashes of the task's dependencies.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            At the code level, there are a variety of ways both the basehash and the
+            dependent task hashes can be influenced.
+            Within the BitBake configuration file, we can give BitBake some extra information
+            to help it construct the basehash.
+            The following statement effectively results in a list of global variable
+            dependency excludes - variables never included in any checksum:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST ?= "TMPDIR FILE PATH PWD BB_TASKHASH BBPATH DL_DIR \
+         SSTATE_DIR THISDIR FILESEXTRAPATHS FILE_DIRNAME HOME LOGNAME SHELL TERM \
+         USER FILESPATH STAGING_DIR_HOST STAGING_DIR_TARGET COREBASE PRSERV_HOST \
+         PRSERV_DUMPDIR PRSERV_DUMPFILE PRSERV_LOCKDOWN PARALLEL_MAKE \
+         CCACHE_DIR EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN CCACHE CCACHE_DISABLE LICENSE_PATH SDKPKGSUFFIX"
+            </literallayout>
+            The previous example excludes
+            <link linkend='var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></link>
+            since that variable is actually constructed as a path within
+            <link linkend='var-TMPDIR'><filename>TMPDIR</filename></link>, which is on
+            the whitelist.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The rules for deciding which hashes of dependent tasks to include through
+            dependency chains are more complex and are generally accomplished with a
+            Python function.
+            The code in <filename>meta/lib/oe/sstatesig.py</filename> shows two examples
+            of this and also illustrates how you can insert your own policy into the system
+            if so desired.
+            This file defines the two basic signature generators <filename>OE-Core</filename>
+            uses:  "OEBasic" and "OEBasicHash".
+            By default, there is a dummy "noop" signature handler enabled in BitBake.
+            This means that behavior is unchanged from previous versions.
+            <filename>OE-Core</filename> uses the "OEBasicHash" signature handler by default
+            through this setting in the <filename>bitbake.conf</filename> file:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER ?= "OEBasicHash"
+            </literallayout>
+            The "OEBasicHash" <filename>BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER</filename> is the same as the
+            "OEBasic" version but adds the task hash to the stamp files.
+            This results in any
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>

+            Checksums and dependencies, as discussed in the previous section, solve half the
+            problem of supporting a shared state.
+            The other part of the problem is being able to use checksum information during the build
+            and being able to reuse or rebuild specific components.

+        <para>
+            The shared state class (<filename>sstate.bbclass</filename>)
+            is a relatively generic implementation of how to "capture" a snapshot of a given task.
+            The idea is that the build process does not care about the source of a task's output.
+            Output could be freshly built or it could be downloaded and unpacked from
+            somewhere - the build process does not need to worry about its origin.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            There are two types of output, one is just about creating a directory
+            in <link linkend='var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></link>.
+            A good example is the output of either <filename>do_install</filename> or
+            <filename>do_package</filename>.
+            The other type of output occurs when a set of data is merged into a shared directory
+            tree such as the sysroot.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The Yocto Project team has tried to keep the details of the implementation hidden in
+            <filename>sstate.bbclass</filename>.
+            From a user's perspective, adding shared state wrapping to a task
+            is as simple as this <filename>do_deploy</filename> example taken from
+            <filename>deploy.bbclass</filename>:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     DEPLOYDIR = "${WORKDIR}/deploy-${PN}"
+     SSTATETASKS += "do_deploy"
+     do_deploy[sstate-name] = "deploy"
+     do_deploy[sstate-inputdirs] = "${DEPLOYDIR}"
+     do_deploy[sstate-outputdirs] = "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}"
+
+     python do_deploy_setscene () {
+         sstate_setscene(d)
+     }
+     addtask do_deploy_setscene
+     do_deploy[dirs] = "${DEPLOYDIR} ${B}"
+            </literallayout>
+            In this example, we add some extra flags to the task, a name field ("deploy"), an
+            input directory where the task sends data, and the output
+            directory where the data from the task should eventually be copied.
+            We also add a <filename>_setscene</filename> variant of the task and add the task
+            name to the <filename>SSTATETASKS</filename> list.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            If you have a directory whose contents you need to preserve, you can do this with

+     do_package[sstate-plaindirs] = "${PKGD} ${PKGDEST}"
+            </literallayout>
+            This method, as well as the following example, also works for multiple directories.
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     do_package[sstate-inputdirs] = "${PKGDESTWORK} ${SHLIBSWORKDIR}"
+     do_package[sstate-outputdirs] = "${PKGDATA_DIR} ${SHLIBSDIR}"
+     do_package[sstate-lockfile] = "${PACKAGELOCK}"
+            </literallayout>
+            These methods also include the ability to take a lockfile when manipulating
+            shared state directory structures since some cases are sensitive to file
+            additions or removals.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Behind the scenes, the shared state code works by looking in
+            <link linkend='var-SSTATE_DIR'><filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename></link> and
+            <link linkend='var-SSTATE_MIRRORS'><filename>SSTATE_MIRRORS</filename></link>
+            for shared state files.
+            Here is an example:

+     SSTATE_MIRRORS ?= "\
+     file://.* http://someserver.tld/share/sstate/PATH \n \

+            <note>
+                The shared state directory (<filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename>) is
+                organized into two-character subdirectories, where the subdirectory
+                names are based on the first two characters of the hash.
+                If the shared state directory structure for a mirror has the
+                same structure as <filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename>, you must
+                specify "PATH" as part of the URI to enable the build system
+                to map to the appropriate subdirectory.

+            The shared state package validity can be detected just by looking at the
+            filename since the filename contains the task checksum (or signature) as
+            described earlier in this section.
+            If a valid shared state package is found, the build process downloads it
+            and uses it to accelerate the task.

+
+        <para>
+            The build processes use the <filename>*_setscene</filename> tasks

+            BitBake goes through this phase before the main execution code and tries
+            to accelerate any tasks for which it can find shared state packages.
+            If a shared state package for a task is available, the shared state
+            package is used.
+            This means the task and any tasks on which it is dependent are not
+            executed.

+

+            As a real world example, the aim is when building an IPK-based image,

+            shared state packages fetched and extracted.
+            Since the sysroot is not used, it would never get extracted.
+            This is another reason why a task-based approach is preferred over a

+
+            <para>
+                The OpenEmbedded build system uses checksums and shared state
+                cache to avoid unnecessarily rebuilding tasks.
+                Collectively, this scheme is known as "shared state code."
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                As with all schemes, this one has some drawbacks.
+                It is possible that you could make implicit changes to your
+                code that the checksum calculations do not take into
+                account (i.e. implicit changes).
+                These implicit changes affect a task's output but do not trigger
+                the shared state code into rebuilding a recipe.
+                Consider an example during which a tool changes its output.
+                Assume that the output of <filename>rpmdeps</filename> changes.
+                The result of the change should be that all the
+                <filename>package</filename> and
+                <filename>package_write_rpm</filename> shared state cache
+                items become invalid.
+                However, because the change to the output is
+                external to the code and therefore implicit,
+                the associated shared state cache items do not become
+                invalidated.
+                In this case, the build process uses the cached items rather
+                than running the task again.
+                Obviously, these types of implicit changes can cause problems.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                To avoid these problems during the build, you need to
+                understand the effects of any changes you make.
+                Realize that changes you make directly to a function
+                are automatically factored into the checksum calculation.
+                Thus, these explicit changes invalidate the associated area of
+                sstate cache.
+                However, you need to be aware of any implicit changes that
+                are not obvious changes to the code and could affect the output
+                of a given task.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                When you identify an implicit change, you can easily take steps
+                to invalidate the cache and force the tasks to run.
+                The steps you can take are as simple as changing a function's
+                comments in the source code.
+                For example, to invalidate package shared state files, change
+                the comment statements of <filename>do_package</filename> or
+                the comments of one of the functions it calls.
+                Even though the change is purely cosmetic, it causes the
+                checksum to be recalculated and forces the OpenEmbedded build
+                system to run the task again.
+            </para>

+        x32 is a processor-specific Application Binary Interface (psABI) for x86_64.
+        An ABI defines the calling conventions between functions in a processing environment.
+        The interface determines what registers are used and what the sizes are for various C data types.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Some processing environments prefer using 32-bit applications even when running
+        on Intel 64-bit platforms.
+        Consider the i386 psABI, which is a very old 32-bit ABI for Intel 64-bit platforms.
+        The i386 psABI does not provide efficient use and access of the Intel 64-bit processor resources,
+        leaving the system underutilized.
+        Now consider the x86_64 psABI.
+        This ABI is newer and uses 64-bits for data sizes and program pointers.
+        The extra bits increase the footprint size of the programs, libraries,
+        and also increases the memory and file system size requirements.
+        Executing under the x32 psABI enables user programs to utilize CPU and system resources
+        more efficiently while keeping the memory footprint of the applications low.

+                important files that contain the license text for the source code.
+                It is possible to specify a checksum for an entire file, or a specific section of a
+                file (specified by beginning and ending line numbers with the "beginline" and "endline"
+                parameters, respectively).
+                The latter is useful for source files with a license notice header,
+                README documents, and so forth.
+                If you do not use the "beginline" parameter, then it is assumed that the text begins on the
+                first line of the file.
+                Similarly, if you do not use the "endline" parameter, it is assumed that the license text

+                then a mismatch occurs.
+                This mismatch triggers a build failure and notifies the developer.
+                Notification allows the developer to review and address the license text changes.
+                Also note that if a mismatch occurs during the build, the correct md5

+                Generally, however, every project requires a few specifications for license tracking.
+                Many projects have a "COPYING" file that stores the license information for all the source
+                code files.

+        <title>Enabling Commercially Licensed Recipes</title>
+
+        <para>
+            By default, the OpenEmbedded build system disables
+            components that have commercial or other special licensing
+            requirements.
+            Such requirements are defined on a
+            recipe-by-recipe basis through the <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> variable
+            definition in the affected recipe.
+            For instance, the
+            <filename>poky/meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly</filename>
+            recipe contains the following statement:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial"
+            </literallayout>
+            Here is a slightly more complicated example that contains both an
+            explicit recipe name and version (after variable expansion):
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     LICENSE_FLAGS = "license_${PN}_${PV}"
+            </literallayout>
+                In order for a component restricted by a <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename>
+                definition to be enabled and included in an image, it
+                needs to have a matching entry in the global
+                <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST</filename> variable, which is a variable
+                typically defined in your <filename>local.conf</filename> file.
+            For example, to enable
+                the <filename>poky/meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly</filename>
+                package, you could add either the string
+                "commercial_gst-plugins-ugly" or the more general string
+                "commercial" to <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST</filename>.
+            See the
+            "<link linkend='license-flag-matching'>License Flag Matching</link>" section
+            for a full explanation of how <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> matching works.
+            Here is the example:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial_gst-plugins-ugly"
+            </literallayout>
+                Likewise, to additionally enable the package built from the recipe containing
+                <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS = "license_${PN}_${PV}"</filename>, and assuming
+                that the actual recipe name was <filename>emgd_1.10.bb</filename>,
+                the following string would enable that package as well as
+                the original <filename>gst-plugins-ugly</filename> package:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial_gst-plugins-ugly license_emgd_1.10"
+            </literallayout>
+                As a convenience, you do not need to specify the complete license string
+                in the whitelist for every package.
+            You can use an abbreviated form, which consists
+                of just the first portion or portions of the license string before
+                the initial underscore character or characters.
+            A partial string will match
+                any license that contains the given string as the first
+                portion of its license.
+            For example, the following
+                whitelist string will also match both of the packages
+                previously mentioned as well as any other packages that have
+                licenses starting with "commercial" or "license".
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>

+
+            <para>
+                        License flag matching allows you to control what recipes the
+                OpenEmbedded build system includes in the build.
+                Fundamentally, the build system attempts to match
+                <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> strings found in
+                recipes against <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST</filename>
+                strings found in the whitelist.
+                A match causes the build system to include a recipe in the
+                build, while failure to find a match causes the build system to
+                exclude a recipe.

+                In general, license flag matching is simple.
+                However, understanding some concepts will help you
+                correctly and effectively use matching.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Before a flag
+                defined by a particular recipe is tested against the
+                contents of the whitelist, the expanded string
+                <filename>_${PN}</filename> is appended to the flag.
+                This expansion makes each <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename>
+                value recipe-specific.
+                After expansion, the string is then matched against the
+                whitelist.
+                Thus, specifying
+                <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial"</filename>
+                in recipe "foo", for example, results in the string
+                <filename>"commercial_foo"</filename>.
+                And, to create a match, that string must appear in the
+                whitelist.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Judicious use of the <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename>
+                strings and the contents of the
+                <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST</filename> variable
+                allows you a lot of flexibility for including or excluding
+                recipes based on licensing.
+                For example, you can broaden the matching capabilities by
+                using license flags string subsets in the whitelist.
+                <note>When using a string subset, be sure to use the part of
+                    the expanded string that precedes the appended underscore
+                    character (e.g. <filename>usethispart_1.3</filename>,
+                    <filename>usethispart_1.4</filename>, and so forth).
+                </note>
+                For example, simply specifying the string "commercial" in
+                the whitelist matches any expanded
+                <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> definition that starts with
+                the string "commercial" such as "commercial_foo" and
+                "commercial_bar", which are the strings the build system
+                automatically generates for hypothetical recipes named
+                "foo" and "bar" assuming those recipes simply specify the
+                following:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial"
+                </literallayout>
+                Thus, you can choose to exhaustively
+                enumerate each license flag in the whitelist and
+                allow only specific recipes into the image, or
+                you can use a string subset that causes a broader range of
+                matches to allow a range of recipes into the image.
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                This scheme works even if the
+                <filename>LICENSE_FLAGS</filename> string already
+                has <filename>_${PN}</filename> appended.
+                For example, the build system turns the license flag
+                "commercial_1.2_foo" into "commercial_1.2_foo_foo" and would

+    <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

+        <title>Build Overview</title>
+
+        <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; [&lt;build_dir&gt;]
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The <filename>build_dir</filename> 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.
+            See the "<link linkend="structure-core-script"><filename>&OE_INIT_FILE;</filename></link>"
+            section for more information on this script.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Once the build environment is set up, you can build a target using:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake &lt;target&gt;
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            The <filename>target</filename> 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.

+    <title>Debugging Build Failures</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>
+        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 id='usingpoky-debugging-taskfailures'>
+        <title>Task Failures</title>
+
+        <para>The log file for shell tasks is available in
+            <filename>${WORKDIR}/temp/log.do_taskname.pid</filename>.
+            For example, the <filename>compile</filename> task for the QEMU minimal image for the x86
+            machine (<filename>qemux86</filename>) might be
+            <filename>tmp/work/qemux86-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_compile.20830</filename>.
+            To see what BitBake runs to generate that log, look at the corresponding
+            <filename>run.do_taskname.pid</filename> file located in the same directory.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Presently, the output from Python tasks is sent directly to the console.

+        <title>Running Specific Tasks</title>
+
+        <para>
+            Any given package consists of a set of tasks.
+            The standard BitBake behavior in most cases is: <filename>fetch</filename>,
+            <filename>unpack</filename>,
+            <filename>patch</filename>, <filename>configure</filename>,
+            <filename>compile</filename>, <filename>install</filename>, <filename>package</filename>,
+            <filename>package_write</filename>, and <filename>build</filename>.
+            The default task is <filename>build</filename> and any tasks on which it depends
+            build first.
+            Some tasks, such as <filename>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
+            working directory.
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
+               .
+               .
+        [make some changes to the source code in the working directory]
+               .
+               .
+     $ 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>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>listtasks</filename> task as follows:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c listtasks
+            </literallayout>
+            The results are in the file <filename>${WORKDIR}/temp/log.do_listtasks</filename>.

+        <title>Dependency Graphs</title>
+
+        <para>
+            Sometimes it can be hard to see why BitBake wants to build some other packages before a given
+            package you have specified.
+            The <filename>bitbake -g targetname</filename> command creates the
+            <filename>depends.dot</filename>, <filename>package-depends.dot</filename>,
+            and <filename>task-depends.dot</filename> files in the current directory.
+            These files show the package and task dependencies and are useful for debugging problems.
+            You can use the <filename>bitbake -g -u depexp targetname</filename> command to

+            act on build conditions such as warnings and errors.
+            Both Python and Bash language bindings exist for the logging mechanism:

+    <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 <filename>buildhistory</filename> 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.

+            Build history is disabled by default.

+            <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

+            However, you should realize that enabling and disabling
+            build history in this manner can change the

+     Jakub Steiner
+
+   Structure
+   ---------
+
+   The stylesheet is divided into the following sections:
+
+       Positioning
+          Margins, paddings, width, font-size, clearing.
+       Decorations
+          Borders, style
+       Colors
+          Colors
+       Graphics
+          Graphical backgrounds
+       Nasty IE tweaks
+          Workarounds needed to make it work in internet explorer,
+          currently makes the stylesheet non validating, but up until
+          this point it is validating.

+    <para>
+        Welcome to the Yocto Project!
+        The Yocto Project is an open-source collaboration project focused on embedded Linux
+        developers.
+        Among other things, the Yocto Project uses a build system based on the Poky project
+        to construct complete Linux images.
+        The Poky project, in turn, draws from and contributes back to the OpenEmbedded project.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        If you don't have a system that runs Linux and you want to give the Yocto Project a test run,
+        you might consider using the Yocto Project Build Appliance.
+        The Build Appliance allows you to build and boot a custom embedded Linux image with the Yocto
+        Project using a non-Linux development system.
+        See the <ulink url='http://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation/build-appliance'>Yocto
+        Project Build Appliance</ulink> for more information.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        On the other hand, if you know all about open-source development, Linux development environments,
+        Git source repositories and the like and you just want some quick information that lets you try out
+        the Yocto Project on your Linux system, skip right to the
+        "<link linkend='super-user'>Super User</link>" section at the end of this quick start.

+    <para>
+        The Yocto Project through the OpenEmbedded build system provides an open source development
+        environment targeting the ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and x86 architectures for a variety of
+        platforms including x86-64 and emulated ones.
+        You can use components from the Yocto Project to design, develop, build, debug, simulate,
+        and test the complete software stack using Linux, the X Window System, GNOME Mobile-based
+        application frameworks, and Qt frameworks.

+        The Yocto Project can generate images for many kinds of devices.
+        However, the standard example machines target QEMU full-system emulation for x86, x86-64, ARM, MIPS,
+        and PPC-based architectures as well as specific hardware such as the
+        <trademark class='registered'>Intel</trademark> Desktop Board DH55TC.
+        Because an image developed with the Yocto Project can boot inside a QEMU emulator, the
+        development environment works nicely as a test platform for developing embedded software.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Another important Yocto Project feature is the Sato reference User Interface.
+        This optional GNOME mobile-based UI, which is intended for devices with
+        restricted screen sizes, sits neatly on top of a device using the
+        GNOME Mobile Stack and provides a well-defined user experience.
+        Implemented in its own layer, it makes it clear to developers how they can implement
+        their own user interface on top of a Linux image created with the Yocto Project.

+            Packages and package installation vary depending on your development system

+            For example, if you want to build an image that can run
+            on QEMU in graphical mode (a minimal, basic build
+            requirement), then the number of packages is different than if you want to
+            build an image on a headless system or build out the Yocto Project
+            documentation set.
+            Collectively, the number of required packages is large
+            if you want to be able to cover all cases.
+            <note>In general, you need to have root access and then install the

+            You need to manually edit this file to specify the machine you are building and to optimize
+            your build time.
+            Here are the minimal changes to make:

+
+        <para>
+            A good deal that goes into a Yocto Project build is simply
+            downloading all of the source tarballs.
+            Maybe you have been working with another build system
+            (OpenEmbedded or Angstrom) for which you have built up a sizable
+            directory of source tarballs.
+            Or, perhaps someone else has such a directory for which you have
+            read access.
+            If so, you can save time by adding statements to your
+            configuration file so that the build process checks local
+            directories first for existing tarballs before checking the
+            Internet.
+            Here is an efficient way to set it up in your
+            <filename>local.conf</filename> file:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     SOURCE_MIRROR_URL ?= "file:///home/you/your-download-dir/"
+     INHERIT += "own-mirrors"
+     BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1"
+     # BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            In the previous example, the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS'><filename>BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS</filename></ulink>
+            variable causes the OpenEmbedded build system to generate tarballs
+            of the Git repositories and store them in the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DL_DIR'><filename>DL_DIR</filename></ulink>
+            directory.
+            Due to performance reasons, generating and storing these tarballs
+            is not the build system's default behavior.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            You can also use the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PREMIRRORS'><filename>PREMIRRORS</filename></ulink>
+            variable.
+            For an example, see the variable's glossary entry in the

+        <title>Building the Image</title>
+
+        <para>
+            At this point, you need to select an image to build for the BeagleBoard xM.
+            If this is your first build using the Yocto Project, you should try the smallest and simplest
+            image:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake core-image-minimal
+            </literallayout>
+            Now you just wait for the build to finish.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Here are some variations on the build process that could be helpful:
+            <itemizedlist>
+                <listitem><para>Fetch all the necessary sources without starting the build:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake -c fetchall core-image-minimal
+                    </literallayout>
+                    This variation guarantees that you have all the sources for that BitBake target
+                    should you disconnect from the net and want to do the build later offline.
+                    </para></listitem>
+                <listitem><para>Specify to continue the build even if BitBake encounters an error.
+                    By default, BitBake aborts the build when it encounters an error.
+                    This command keeps a faulty build going:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake -k core-image-minimal
+                    </literallayout></para></listitem>
+            </itemizedlist>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Once you have your image, you can take steps to load and boot it on the target hardware.

+Some are easy to hack on,
+but you’ll regret it later
+# Especially if your target is x86, it's easy to start with a

+# Building new pieces and rebuilding the pieces that need changes
+# But when you need to change hardware, or rebuild with different compiler flags
+# It's not that easy any more

+Why you should use
+the Yocto Project
+(instead of a desktop Linux)
+for your product
+#I'm talking about why you should use the Yocto Project (instead of a desktop Linux) for your pproduct
+#
+#They say when you can't summarise your talk in three words, why not use thirty, so I added a subtitle
+
+-- [bomb.jpg] [text-align=center]
+or,
+How I Learned To Stop Worrying
+And Love Building Distros
+#How I learned to stop worrying and love building distros.
+#
+#Because every conference should have a Dr Strangelove reference.
+#
+#Although this is less funny now that BAE systems have just appeared on the support mailing list.
+
+-- [yocto.jpg]
+“It's not an embedded Linux distribution
+— it creates a custom one for you”
+#What is the Yocto Project?
+#
+#YP is not a Linux distribution in the traditional sense, it helps you build a tailored Linux distribution for your embedded Linux product
+#
+#But what do we mean by embedded? Embedded means different things to different people.
+
+-- [apple.jpg]
+Not a “PC”
+#Basically, "not general purpose desktop computing".
+#
+#There are many examples where the YP is a good fit
+
+-- [tv.jpg]
+Home Media
+#Home media: Televisions, digital video recorders, set-top boxes, wireless speakers, internet radios.
+#
+#Our set-top box division is rebasing their SDK to YP right now, after maintaining their own linux distro.
+
+-- [advert.jpg]
+Digital Signage
+#Digital signage, such as the schedule displays you can see in the hallway, airport departure panels, so on.
+#
+#I certainy hope that next year instead of mac minis we're using minnow boards.
+
+-- [data.jpg] [text-align=center]
+Telecoms
+Data Centre
+#Telecoms and data centres, where you'll have clusters of xeons running core networking, or other specialised applications
+#
+#These are basically incredible powerful appliances, not general purpose machines. they need every bit of power squeezed out of their hardware, and generalising, even with an enterprise distro, may not be enough.
+
+-- [xeon-phi.jpg]
+Intel® Xeon Phi™
+(ding dong ding dong!)
+#Xeon Phi, aka MIC or Knights Corner.
+#
+#Can't get much more embedded than a PCI Express board with 64 x86 cores on. These are for massive number crunching, and each runs a Linux platform built by the Yocto Project.
+#
+#The processor was once upon a time a Pentium but is substantially extended, and the system is totally unlike anything else, so they needed a Linux system that could be massively customised to fit their needs.
+
+-- [labquest.jpg]
+Misc and Other
+#The fun thing about YP is you can't predict where people use it.
+#
+#This is the Vernier LabQuest, a flexible science probe for education.
+#
+#webOS, the platform on the palm phone and tablets, is built using YP.
+#
+#If you update the firmware in your Intel SSD, that tool is built with Yocto
+#
+#Concordia, our software defined radio platform, runs on YP.
+#
+#PAUSE.
+#
+#Now we know what sort of products the YP is aimed at, why should you use it?
+
+-- [minifigs.jpg] [center]
+So many choices!
+#When picking a platform what's the difference between Yocto and Android, Linaro, Tizen, Buildroot, Baserock, or hacking your favourite desktop distribution such as Fedora or Debian, especially as some have embedded versions such as emdebian.
+
+-- [cables.jpg]
+Easy to hack on at first,
+but you’ll regret it later
+#When your processor is x86, it's easy to prototype with a desktop distribution and chop pieces off
+#
+#Building new packages and rebuilding the pieces that need changes
+#
+#By the time the prototype is working well, you've invested enough effort that starting again to remove the hacks is off-putting.
+#
+#But you may end up with a fragile system, or the need to do something invasive such as rebuild the entire product with new compiler flags, it's not that easy any more
+
+-- [road.jpg] [top]
+Designed to go
+the distance
+#Yocto is proven technology and designed for long term use
+#
+#The build tool and package metadata (BitBake and OpenEmbedded) have been around for ten years with major deployments
+#
+#Builds on standard hardware (use your laptop to try it out) without any special requirements (eg no VM or root permission), just disk space and a compiler to bootstrap.
+#
+#Commercial support from major OSVs and specialized consultancies
+#
+#Finally no restrictions in it's use, the build system is GPL/MIT, no terms to agree to.
+#
+#Speaking of licensing
+
+-- [license.jpg] [center]
+
+Licensing Hell
+#It's easy to accidently break OSS licensing terms, so YP tries to help.
+#
+#Around $100k per violation
+#
+#All recipes need a license statement, and checksums to validate. if a new upstream release changes their license statements and you didn't notice, the build errors and the maintainer must verify the license situation.
+#
+#"No GPLv3" button when building that can will disable v3 features or whole packages if the v3 bothers you.
+#
+# Generate release archives for license compliance, full source and patches.  Easy to split open/closed components and publish the "build instructions" (your build metadata) for true GPL compliance.
+
+-- [train.jpg] [top]
+
+Won’t fall apart over time
+#Yocto won't surprise you late in product development
+#
+#Reproducable builds for the entire system. minimal host dependencies and ability to blow away build tree results in same image.
+#
+#Six monthly release cycle with maintained release branches (about to release the first point release of 1.3, and 1.2 is still getting fixes in its branch)
+#
+#Open planning process for future releases, no development in private repos or not-quite open source model.
+
+-- [bike.jpg]
+Exactly how you want it
+
+#Numerous functional layers, with more packages (network daemons, multimedia support, selinux). these are all optional, you start from a minimal system and build up instead of from a large system and removing pieces.
+#
+#Entirely override existing packaging in your own layers, or just tweak behavior by appending packaging fragments.
+#
+#Generate a machine configuration for your exact target, so you can compile everything with optimal compiler flags, tuned libraries (jpeg, zlib, etc), specific kernel.
+#
+#meta-intel has BSPs for key Intel platforms with targetted hardware support, such as NUC, FRI2, Xeon and IVB/SNB platforms.
+
+-- [engineer.jpg]
+
+Developer friendly
+
+# YP is developer friendly
+#
+# Generate standalone toolchain with headers and libraries so app developers don't actually need to build the whole distro.
+#
+# Development images with compilers/headers, debug images with full symbols and source
+#
+# Eclipse based SDK for anyone who has an irrational fear of emacs and xterm.
+#
+# Bogdan just spoke about hob, the graphical interface to bitbake.  also starting work on webhob
+#
+# Documentation is never finished but we've a paid documentation writer
+#
