dev-manual, kernel-dev: Replaced yocto-layers with bitbake-layers command

2017-10-30T15:55:08+00:00

The yocto-layers script is being deprecated in the 2.4 YP release and the preferred script is now bitbake-layers. In particular, the section that talks about creating a general layer was using yocto-layers create. I have replaced it with bitbake-layers create-layer command. The bsp-guide and kernel-dev manual had links that used (in the case of kernel-dev) and referenced yocto-layers. I had to change these to reflect using bitbake-layers create-layers.

kernel-dev: Updated dev-manual title

2017-10-30T15:55:05+00:00

The name of the dev-manual has changed to be the "Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual". I have updated all the areas in the kernel-dev manual that reference sections into the dev-manual.

kernel-dev: Edits to the iteratively modifying source code section

2017-10-06T11:06:33+00:00

This section has merged into a single topic now. It still needs work but it is gathered under one heading for now. (From yocto-docs rev: 660ed8b64dedbab5400c84ec3759cea77c899c40) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Eliminated "Generating Configuration Files" section.

2017-10-06T11:06:33+00:00

This section was largely redundant now. The small things that did add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2. One was a new section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained. Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well. (From yocto-docs rev: 7059d3eac1fec20089cabf197503f1bec747686d) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Added "Validating Configuration" section

2017-10-06T11:06:33+00:00

Provided a new section on how to validate the configuration of the kernel. (From yocto-docs rev: 25f43d1baeff7d571fc60c7edca957d4ce6d6357) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Edits to "Fine-Tuning the Kernel Configuration File"

2017-10-06T11:06:33+00:00

This section needed some formatting to conform to the list structure used throughout the manual. (From yocto-docs rev: b6e6b66014963c1628c50e09787fdd46a45867b1) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Moved "dirty" kernel procedure up a level

2017-10-06T11:06:33+00:00

This procedure needed to be pulled out of the section that was/is called "Using an Iterative Development Process". The section on how to deal with "dirty" kernel version strings is a procedure in its own right. It is now up a level.
