kernel-dev: Updated kernel configuration section

2017-10-06T11:06:32+00:00

A lot of rewriting here in this section to get it up to speed. Also, moved that final section on determining hardware and non-hardware features into an appendix where it belonged.

kernel-dev: Updated list of kernel repositories to have 4.12 and cache

2017-09-13T17:00:19+00:00

I added the linux-yocto-4.12 kernel repository and the linux-yocto-cache repository to the list of Yocto Linux Kernel repositories in the Source Repositories. (From yocto-docs rev: 88fedda0fa4a4dfc468f0dc404fa9f04390cbed7) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Kernel prep steps

2017-09-01T23:52:48+00:00

The dev-manual had a place-holder section for getting the build host ready for using YP and then doing kernel development. This stuff is better suited for the actual kernel development manual. I moved the section. Moving created several broken links in the manual set that had to be fixed. In the dev-manual, I updated the introductory list to include the newly moved kernel stuff.

dev-manual, kernel-dev, sdk-manual: Moved patching kernel section

2017-09-01T23:52:48+00:00

Moved the "Patching the Kernel" section, which was in the dev-manual to the kernel-dev manual. During the move, renamed the section to "Using devtool to Patch the Kernel". This move bothered a lot of links so I had to fix them in various manuals.

kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Kernel workflow section to kernel-dev

2017-07-11T23:28:15+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The overview section of modifying the kernel needed to be in the kernel-dev manual and not in the dev-manual. I moved it and took care of all the links and external references throughout the YP doc set. One figure was involved that had to be moved to the figures folder in kernel-dev from dev-manual. That is why the Makefile had to be edited. (From yocto-docs rev: 3a704b64544678785b883f82d6e82aedac6790c5) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual, kernel-dev: Moved the kernel build hierarchy section

2017-07-11T23:28:15+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The section that presented the Yocto Linux kernel file structure resulting from a build using BitBake needed to be in the kernel-dev manual. I moved it over. This required transferring over a figure as well. (From yocto-docs rev: 0abc6c7d87a6aa10dac28fefbb280eb51fea61a7) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Re-write of Yocto Linux Architecture and Branch Strategies

2017-07-11T23:28:14+00:00

This section in Appepndix A was full of redundancies used to explain how the Yocto Project kernel development team has set up branching and kernel architecture. I consolidated a couple sub-sections into just the necessary single section.

kernel-dev: Inserted section on Git as a relavent note

2017-07-11T23:28:14+00:00

Appendix A of the kernel-dev had a subsection dedicated to just saying Git was the SCM used by the YP team for development. Having this information in a dedicated section was overkill. The information is better as an "aside". I put the stuff in a note. (From yocto-docs rev: 7e28686f946188daaf0480d4cd68e0e8ff854d37) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
