documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: moved statement

2011-09-02T22:38:50+00:00

Dave Stewart said that good coding practice is to set the variables before any print statements. So I moved one statement above the example printk statements. (From yocto-docs rev: bad0537a5a6472fb3fef06de9763990a0c352e25) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: Added kernel reconfigure example.

2011-08-21T00:51:59+00:00

this example uses the CONFIG_SMP configuration. By default, this configuration is disabled. The example shows how to use menuconfig and explains the .config file role and how you can use it combined with menuconfig to manage multiple configuration changes. Thanks to Darren Hart for identifying this simple change to demonstrate how to change the kernel configuration.

documentation/dev-manual: Changed 2.6.37 to 3.0 for 1.1 release.

2011-08-15T14:27:03+00:00

Bruce Ashfield's review comments indicated that we will be using linux-yocto-3.0 and not linux-yocto-2.6.37. So I am putting these changes in to anticipate the 1.1 release. (From yocto-docs rev: ecbe1c90c5aa65b2dde77ba6094b5956e37d061d) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: added note

2011-08-15T14:27:01+00:00

There are some issues with the fact that the build process parses all kernel .bbappend files whether they are used or not during the build process. I added an extra build configuration note regarding editing the .bbappend file. I noted that you either have to edit every .bbappend file and comment out the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE statement or simply remove all the kernel recipe append files except the one you are interested in.

2011-08-15T14:27:01+00:00

documentation/dev-manual: Positioned figures for PDF output

2011-08-15T14:27:00+00:00

Had to tweak the viewing area to get two figures to display correctly in the PDF version of the file. (From yocto-docs rev: 89b2618e11c05744f54a9fbd39cd899117a2affc) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: re-write

2011-08-15T14:27:00+00:00

I performed a major re-write of this section that touched all aspects of it. This was necessary due to the fact I could not get the example running because of not understanding the repo location and branch needs to set it up.
