ref-manual: classes: nativesdk: move note to appropriate section

2025-06-20T15:06:30+00:00

The nativesdk- prefix to the recipe filename should only be used when using the inherit method as the BBCLASSEXTEND method will do some magic when generating the "implicit" name of the recipe. This matches the instructions for the native class.

ref-manual: classes: reword to clarify that native/nativesdk options are exclusive

2025-06-20T15:06:30+00:00

We explain how to create a native (nativesdk) recipe in two different ways via a bullet list but reading quickly the instructions may mislead one into doing both options whereas they are incompatible. This rewords both the nativesdk and native sections so that the second bullet point starts with an Or and explicit that this applies to target recipes.

docs: conf.py: silence SyntaxWarning on js_splitter_code

2025-06-13T15:42:36+00:00

The js_splitter_code string contains backslashes that Python tries to use as escape sequence but doesn't manage to, hence the following SyntaxWarning message: documentation/conf.py:188: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\p' .split(/[^\p{Letter}\p{Number}_\p{Emoji_Presentation}-]+/gu) Considering that we want this to be sent verbatim to the JS, let's make this a raw string instead.

docs: README: specify how to contribute instead of pointing at another file

2025-06-13T15:42:36+00:00

This repository is partially included in another repository: poky. However its README isn't making it, so documentation/README pointing at the README at the root of the git repository would lead the contributor nowhere. Instead, let's include the appropriate information directly in documentation/README which does make it to the poky git repo.

ref-manual: clarify KCONFIG_MODE default behaviour

2025-06-13T15:42:36+00:00

KCONFIG_MODE defaults to 'allnoconfig' when not set, regardless of whether KBUILD_DEFCONFIG points to an in-tree or a meta-layer defconfig.
