dev-manual: Added section on bmap-tool to flash images

2017-01-11T17:23:18+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10621] bmaptool is integrated into the OpenEmbedded build system but is not documented. I added a new section describing how to flash an image to media using the tool. Also, updated a small section in the Wic part of the manual that used "dd" to flash an example. I added a bmaptool counterpart here and referenced the reader back to the main new section.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Clarification of "native" and "sdknative"

2016-03-03T17:40:11+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #8620] I went through and made some judgement calls on the use of "native" and "sdknative". I tried to make sure that the reader understood the real meaning of these terms.

yocto-project-qs and others: Rewrite of the QS

2015-07-28T17:02:32+00:00

This was a complete re-write of the YP Quick Start in an attempt to streamline it, remove unecessary detail, and make it flow better with the examples. In doing so, many manuals were affected due to section headings being renamed, information being moved, etc. Here is a list of the changes by manual: Makefile - Removed two figures from TARFILE list for the yocto-project-qs. Added building-an-image.png to the ref-manual TARFILE list. Added using-a-pre-build-image.png to the adt-manual TARFILE list. Repositioned 'eclipse' in the adt-manual TARFILE list. adt-manual: Fixed a cross-reference so that it goes to the new 'Building Images' section that is within the YP QS. Added new section 'Example Using Pre-Build Binaries and QEMU' to hold the information that was formerly in YP QS. dev-manual: Removed a cross-reference into the YP QS that promised how to configure the most efficent build. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'The Packages' to 'The Build System Packages'. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Building an Image' to 'Building Images'. Changed a text reference from the YP QS to the adt-manual. Moved the bit about getting YP files by using the YP website from the YP QS to the dev-manual. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Using Pre-Built Binaries and QEMU' to 'Example Using Pre-built Binaries and QEMU', which was moved to the adt-manual. ref-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. Moved the note about if your system has oss4-dev in the packages area in the YP QS to the appropriate area in the ref-manual. Moved the introduction information regarding building an image along with the figure from YP QS to the ref-manual's section on building images. toaster-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. yocto-project-qs: Complete rewrite that changed many section headings and removed much detail, which was placed in other manuals.

dev-manual: Adjusted text for deprecated 3.10 and 3.17 kernels.

2015-02-24T23:36:13+00:00

These kernels are unsupported for the 1.8 release. They will still show up in the YP source repos but the recipes are removed from the poky area. Updated all references appropriately.

dev-manual, ref-manual, yocto-project-qs: Updates to parallelism variables

2015-02-17T15:16:51+00:00

The way the old manual set had worded the use of the BB_NUMBER_THREADS, PARALLEL_MAKE, and BB_NUMBER_PARSE_THREADS had become depricated. It suggested a lot of user intervention to get these variables set to have the build system utilize optimal parallelism. The change a while back to the build system where the variables are set to the number of build host cores now makes the variables automatically be set to their best values. I have gone through the manual set and changed wordings appropriately to reflect this. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
