documentation: Final bits to support a 2.0.1 doc release

2016-03-11T23:05:48+00:00

Edits included: * Update to poky.ent to have 2.0.1 variable values. * Update to all Manual revision tables. * Update to mega-manual.sed file so good links result in the mega-manual.

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.

documentation: Updated files to support 2.0 release.

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

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.

documentation: Updated customization layers to point to XSL mirrors

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

The customization layers were pointing to Sourceforge site for the XSl files needed to build the manuals. Throuhgout time, this site has failed me enough to warrent trying to get these XSL files from some other source. Rather than ship the XSL files with the YP release, we decided to create some mirrors and point the customization files there.

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.

documentation: Preparation for 1.9 builds

2015-04-15T14:57:18+00:00

This involves the following: * Inserting a new row for all manual revision history tables to have "October 2015" and 1.9 as the release information. * Updating the mega-manual.sed file to process links for 1.9 * Updating variables in poky.ent to deal with the 1.9 release variables.
