docs: kernel-dev: faq: update tip on how to not include kernel in image

2023-01-06T17:33:47+00:00

Since commit f6d963fa6d0e ("kernel: make kernel-base recommend kernel-image, not depend"), present in Kirkstone 4.0, one should set RRECOMMENDS and not RDEPENDS to avoid including the kernel in the image, so let's update the documentation to reflect that.

kernel-dev/common.rst: remove SRC_URI:append from examples

2022-09-24T16:44:55+00:00

It's better to use SRC_URI += to append patches etc. If anything is added via :append, that can only be removed with :remove which makes the changes rather permanent compared to light weight += amendments.

kernel-dev: working with kernel using devtool does not require building and installing eSDK

2022-08-12T22:11:28+00:00

In fact, all the same tasks can be done directly from a Yocto build. Let's just drop the steps to produce and install the eSDK - if someone wants it, the SDK manual covers everything.

manuals: replace hyphens with em dashes

2022-06-27T13:55:08+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. (From yocto-docs rev: 5918f019f63f6e820b1168f4cc001faa1d1cdc6f) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
