kernel-dev: Fix the locations of .config and source directory

2016-06-06T21:53:35+00:00

The locations of the kernel .config file and source direcotry moved a couple releases ago. Updated the documentation accordingly. Also added a note explaining how to check the expansion of variables, which servs a couple of purposes: * For curious readers, shows them how to understand where these variables come from and how they are used. * For suspicious readers, shows them how they can verify that the variables in the documentation are actually correct.

kernel-dev: Applied review comments to "Adding Recipe-Space Kernel Features"

2016-04-06T22:11:58+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4047] I went through and fixed a few areas where reviewers said there was "quirky" phrasing. They might have been right in a few places. (From yocto-docs rev: 66fb97838f338ed3f787ec18f62702ef726ceffc) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Added new "Adding Recipe-Space Kernel Features" section.

2016-04-06T22:11:57+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4047] I added a new section describing how to add kernel features from within a kernel recipe through the KERNEL_FEATURES variable and the SRC_URI statement. (From yocto-docs rev: d30925c65e3f49b2ba481f1e7f9cac98fe86f6af) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Updated the "Kernel Metadata Location" section.

2016-04-06T22:11:57+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #8272] I re-wrote the section to basically consider kernel metadata coming from either inside the recipe (recipe-space) or from outside the recipe, which would be like a "kernel-cache". The re-write eliminated the term "in-tree" regarding where kernel metadata could reside.

kernel-dev: Changed a link from an example to in-text.

2016-03-23T21:56:09+00:00

Better placement of this link. It did not need to be in the example. (From yocto-docs rev: 53c33ea4cc929e016812f0d3aac0d302758dc0f8) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation: Prepare for 2.1 builds

2016-01-07T12:13:45+00:00

The changes are for the poky.ent file and the mega-manual.sed file to take care of variables. Also, entries added for the manual revision table. (From yocto-docs rev: 60da39f85165e2d4aef55d456f8203183e089433) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

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.

2015-10-21T22:06:32+00:00

These updates included editing the poky.ent file so that DISTRO and related variables are now 2.0. Also updated all the title pages to have the manual revision table correct. Finally, used my email for the manuals. (From yocto-docs rev: deae61bfbb528ea0ced82399a78260a7f34a7a11) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
