kernel-dev: common: migrate bitbake -e to bitbake-getvar

2025-11-19T16:21:24+00:00

It's recommended to use bitbake-getvar for a few releases now so let's use that instead of bitbake -e. While at it, use a cross-reference for "OpenEmbedded Build System".

kernel-dev: add disable config example

2025-11-19T16:21:24+00:00

Makes it more clear that the configuration fragment can also be used to disable a configuration.

kernel-dev/common.rst: fix the in-tree defconfig description

2025-10-03T17:09:02+00:00

The description of the relation between KBUILD_DEFCONFIG and SRC_URI is reversed. In fact it is the SRC_URI provided defconfig which will be dropped by the kernel-yocto class if both are provided.

sphinx-lint: unbalanced inline literal markup

2025-05-28T15:46:32+00:00

Fix as many instances of unbalanced-inline-literals-delimiters as reported by 'make sphinx-lint' as possible. Sphinx and/or its linter seem to get tripped up randomly when references contain links to heading which contain literals enclosed in double-back-tics, and not all of them can be "fixed" to pass both building and linting.

manuals: remove tab characters

2024-04-19T11:50:40+00:00

As reported by "make sphinx-lint" Tabs are even removed in Makefile examples, as Sphinx turns them to spaces anyway in the generated output. (From yocto-docs rev: fd1423141e7458ba557db465c171b0b4e9063987) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Reviewed-by: Quentin Schulz Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman

kernel-dev: join mkdir commands with -p

2024-04-19T11:50:40+00:00

To make it more obvious which directories are needed, pass only these to *mkdir* and use the option `-p` to create the missing parents. (From yocto-docs rev: 4ddcedca4b09e2c051b33a40659ffce1db2984f5) Signed-off-by: Jörg Sommer Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman

manuals: replace hyphens with em dashes

2024-03-25T14:11:26+00:00

Fix some hyphens being improperly used as em dashes. See https://www.grammarly.com/blog/hyphens-and-dashes/ Using em dashes may also allow Sphinx to hyphenate and break lines in the best way. Note that the first character after an em dash not supposed to be capitalized, unless a specific rule applies, typically when what follows is a proper noun. Fix a few misuses of parentheses in following text.

manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word

2024-03-01T15:19:54+00:00

To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are" by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural. In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx" by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at the end of the sentence. In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when it's redundant with the preceding title.
