documentation: BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE suggestions

2011-11-25T15:24:19+00:00

Text that suggests setting the BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE variables to speed build time has been updated to suggest a setting of twice the number of host cores supported. The 2x number came to light through a discussion on the project mailing list initiated by Robert P. J. Day. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

documentation/dev-manual: Fixed PDF Note line breaks

2011-11-08T16:26:33+00:00

Several notes were not producing a line-break betweent he end of the note and the start of the next paragraph. Most work, but for some reason these did not. It is a mystery to me.

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: config example

2011-10-06T17:46:55+00:00

I had to add some changes to the way we invoke qemu to show multiple processor support. I needed the qemuparam "-smp 2". There are other minor edits as well. (From yocto-docs rev: 508863634ce537b0936f8e44f87b90bef678c122) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: general updates

2011-10-04T22:12:07+00:00

I made a pass through the book to clean up all areas in preparation to running the examples again. Most changes were punctuation, manual section reference formats, and wordings.

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: added line break

2011-09-25T16:59:59+00:00

There is an example whose output exceeds the PDF manual version's page width. I had to artificially break the line up. (From yocto-docs rev: d8a5714a2f8193c1efc8a7080b8f6e0744da610a) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: Robert Berger feedback.

2011-09-25T16:59:59+00:00

somehow I lost three or four changes that are credited to Robert Berger (Community Member). I have re-introduced them here. (From yocto-docs rev: a23564ada0e072bea63739aeb1eb5c66d595e728) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

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
