kernel-dev: Provided better wording for recipe-space metadata section

2017-03-31T11:14:18+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10946] Based on feedback, I made some minor rewrites to a sentence describing when you need to use a different form to get BitBake to pick up hierarchical data as kernel data.

bsp-guide, kernel-dev: Updates to how kernel metadata is found

2017-03-31T11:14:17+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10946] There was insufficient information in the combination of the BSP Guide and the Kernel Development Manual on just how to locate and use kernel metadata. * bsp-guide - Removed the detailed append file example for the kernel recipe. This is moved now to the chapter in the kernel manual that describes append files. * kernel-dev - Placed the example from the BSP Guide into the section that describes kernel append files. Cleaned up some terminology issues throughout chapter 3. Added information about how BitBake picks up kernel metadata when the metadata is in a hierarchical directory and not just a simple *.scc file.

kernel-dev: Reorganized Kernel Metadata Location and Syntax sections

2017-03-24T23:44:03+00:00

It seems that the two sections "Kernel Metadata Location" and "Kernel Metadata Syntax" were flipped regarding their order of apperance in the kernel-dev manual. I belive that syntax should be first and then followed by a discussion on the location. I have swapped these section's ordering in the manual.

kernel-dev: Corrected linking format for two variables.

2017-03-24T23:44:03+00:00

Convention is to avoid using hyperlinks for variables that appear in / coded blocks. I removed the links for the KERNEL_FEATURES and LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE variables, which appeared in a literal block and put the links into the context of the description.

documentation: Updated "latest manual" note on title page

2017-02-19T14:59:51+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10076] The note on the title page for each manual was brief regarding where to find the latest version of the manual. I updated the note to have more detailed information on finding current, alternate, and latest versions of the manual based on YP releases.

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.
