dev-manual, ref-manual: Created new section on initramfs

2017-01-11T17:23:10+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #7096] We did not document how to create an initramfs image to be included with a kernel build. Various variables sort of inferred the knowledge. I created a new section in the "Common Tasks" section of the dev-manual that describes how to create an initramfs image. Also, I updated the kernel.bbclass reference section to point back to the new "how-to" section. Finally, I also created a bunch of cross-reference links from various related variables back to the new "how-to" section.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Removed term "wic-partitioned"

2017-01-11T17:23:10+00:00

This term was incorrect and I have replaced it with the term "partitioned." (From yocto-docs rev: af1bf889bf862b1bc861de72888a82e25997ab71) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Added WKS_FILE description for new variable

2017-01-11T17:23:10+00:00

This new variable points to the location of the wics kickstart file. (From yocto-docs rev: 6d9a7220ed41c8a512eccbad0ae170072d40fc6f) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Added KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME change to 2.2 migration

2016-12-08T16:36:47+00:00

The fact that the OpenEmbedded build system can now build multiple image types caused the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable to have the KERNEL_IMAGETYPE portion removed. This could cause existing recipes that use the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable directly issues. I added a section indicating that the user should address those recipes to avoid problems.

ref-manual: Updated KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME glossary description

2016-12-08T16:36:47+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10717] Now that multiple images can be built, the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME no longer requires "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}" as part of its default value. I have removed this portion of the default definition described in the glossary.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Added references to SYSROOT_DIRS

2016-12-08T16:36:47+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10692] I updated the STAGING_DIR variable description to have a reference to the SYSROOT_DIRS variable as well as the "Sharing Files Between Recipes" section of the dev-manual. I also updated the "Sharing Files Between Recipes" section so that the role of SYSROOT_DIRS is explained and actually used in an example to add another directory.

documentation: Added new appendix for customizing standard SDK

2016-11-16T10:38:35+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #8584] This fix essentially had to document how to add the API documentation to the standard SDK. The fix required adding a new appendix to the SDK manual on how to customize that standard SDK. I could not put just one topic in a new appendix so I also added a sub-section on how to add indidual packages to the standard SDK. Other changes here were the introduction of a new file for the new appendix, updated the mega-manual.xml file so that it would include the new chapter when the MM was built. Finally, I added some cross-referencing to the new appendix from the TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK and TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK variables. And a cross reference from the distro features section on the api-documentation bullet.
