documentation: Moved devtool workflow to sdk manual

2017-07-11T23:28:15+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The section on the devtool workflow in the dev-manual was 99% identical to what was in the sdk-manual. I have moved the workflow procedure from the old "Model" chapter of the dev-manual to be merged with what was in the sdk-manual. In truth, the only things added were a note about devtool not being exclusive to SDK development. The result of moving (deleting) this section was that the "model" chapter of the dev-manual went away. The devtool stuff, Quilt, devshell, and python shell are all out now and there is no chapter left. So, mega-manual had to be adjusted to not pull that chapter in when building the dev-manual. I had to delete three figures that were used in the flow. The figures were already replicated in the sdk-manual. The figures were deleted from the figures folder of both the dev-manual and the mega-manual. I had to make sure all references to the old devtool stuf in the YP doc set were adjusted.

kernel-dev: Formatting and cleanup for "Other Resources"

2017-07-11T23:28:15+00:00

Some general cleanup and formatting. (From yocto-docs rev: 8d4458f8fbe02cb8bfa78cbf18726cdd8126850a) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Kernel workflow section to kernel-dev

2017-07-11T23:28:15+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The overview section of modifying the kernel needed to be in the kernel-dev manual and not in the dev-manual. I moved it and took care of all the links and external references throughout the YP doc set. One figure was involved that had to be moved to the figures folder in kernel-dev from dev-manual. That is why the Makefile had to be edited. (From yocto-docs rev: 3a704b64544678785b883f82d6e82aedac6790c5) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual, kernel-dev: Moved the kernel build hierarchy section

2017-07-11T23:28:15+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The section that presented the Yocto Linux kernel file structure resulting from a build using BitBake needed to be in the kernel-dev manual. I moved it over. This required transferring over a figure as well. (From yocto-docs rev: 0abc6c7d87a6aa10dac28fefbb280eb51fea61a7) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Re-write of Yocto Linux Architecture and Branch Strategies

2017-07-11T23:28:14+00:00

This section in Appepndix A was full of redundancies used to explain how the Yocto Project kernel development team has set up branching and kernel architecture. I consolidated a couple sub-sections into just the necessary single section.

kernel-dev: Inserted section on Git as a relavent note

2017-07-11T23:28:14+00:00

Appendix A of the kernel-dev had a subsection dedicated to just saying Git was the SCM used by the YP team for development. Having this information in a dedicated section was overkill. The information is better as an "aside". I put the stuff in a note. (From yocto-docs rev: 7e28686f946188daaf0480d4cd68e0e8ff854d37) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual, kernel-dev: Moved kernel branch concepts to kernel-dev

2017-07-11T23:28:14+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The information in the dev-manual kernel overview area really neeeds to be in the Appendix on kernel structure in the kernel-dev manual. I moved that informtaion to the appendix. Removal of one redundant image was necessary from the dev-manual. The figure was literally repeated in the kernel manual already under a different file name.

kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Yocto Linux kernel overview

2017-07-11T23:28:14+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11630] I took the Yocto Linux kernel overview list of kernels out of the dev-manual and moved them to the "Yocto Project Kernel Development and Maintenance" section in Appendix A of the kernel-dev manual. This is a much more logical area to introduce this type of Yocto Linux kernel information.

documentation: Changes section head for sumbitting change to YP

2017-06-22T08:16:44+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11630] I changed the section heading for the section that describes how to make a change to the YP. It was passive. I need it to be active and in line with the "how-to" dev-manual.
