kernel-dev: Added cross-reference to .config information

2015-10-29T22:05:36+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #7474] There was not a strong tie between .config file discussions for the kernel between corresponding menuconfig sections in the kernel-dev and dev-manual manuals. I added a cross- reference link in the kernel-dev manual to help tie this information together.

kernel-dev: Added 'make defconfig' details for own source work

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

I added some detail about what really happens when you use the 'make defconfig' command when working with your own sources. Fixes [YOCTO #6611] (From yocto-docs rev: 653c7726e024dcaa908127f0df1d1856f26f4ff0) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Added kernel-devsrc information for building on target

2015-07-28T17:02:31+00:00

I added a clarifying paragraph at the start of the section that talks about building on the target hardware. Included kernel-devsrc and rationale for why a user would even do this (it is not normal).

kernel-dev: Added new requirement for working with yocto-linux-custom.bb

2015-07-28T17:02:30+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #6611] Added a new step to the "Working With Your Own Sources" section so that the user is aware of needing to provide a defconfig file or configuration fragments to the SRC_URI variable when working with the yocto-linux-custom.bb recipe.

kernel-dev: Added new "in-tree" defconfig file section.

2015-07-28T17:02:30+00:00

I added the new section "Using an "In-Tree" defconfig File" section. This section addresses the ability to not use the default location for defconfig files, which is usually in the metadata layer. The section describes how to use the KBUILD_DEFCONFIG variable.

kernel-dev: Added detail to start of generating config file

2015-07-28T17:02:30+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #7474] The "Generating Configuration Files" section has a procedure that starts with a step to complete a build at least through the kernel configuration task. This is needed but we could use a bit of explanation here. I added some rationale behind why you should do this.

kernel-dev: Correct reference to "files" directory, should be ${PN}", and update kernel version.

kernel-dev: Update name of build directory

2015-03-06T10:44:41+00:00

Tweak the manual to refer to the name of the kernel build directory as it is listed precisely in linux-yocto.inc. (From yocto-docs rev: f8c762e42a67bd84b733a5ae2512581af805a76b) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Updated "Modifying Source Code" section.

2015-03-06T10:44:37+00:00

Substituted a more correct build directory path in the example by providing "${WORKDIR}/linux-${PACKAGE_ARCH}-${LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE}-build" Reported-by: Robert P. J. Day (From yocto-docs rev: 818493d7ee5fc6c1750f20e5cea22a3816c8675c) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
