[yocto] yocto-kernel-tools

2012-12-24 Thread Rick Yang
Hi , We have a linux release base on yocto, and we want to use yocto-kernel-tools to manage kernel configuration fragments, instead of the old method. So we want to know, when poky will use yocto-kernel-tools to manage the kernel ? Is there a plan? Thanks! Rick __

[yocto] where should "bitbake -c populate_sdk ..." be documented?

2012-12-24 Thread Robert P. J. Day

[yocto] a bit confused about dev host "requirements" versus ASSUME_PROVIDED

2012-12-24 Thread Robert P. J. Day

[yocto] what's the rationale for kern-tools-native bbappend in poky-extras?

2012-12-24 Thread Robert P. J. Day
i just noticed, in the poky-extras layer, kern-tools-native_git.bbappend, which describes itself as for "local kern-tools work". is there a use case for this? oe-core already supplies kern-tools-native, and that bbappend appears to simply let the developer work with the head of kern-tools rat

[yocto] Magic kernel config option.

2012-12-24 Thread Brian Smucker
Hi, I'm a yocto mostly-newbie, trying to find my way. I have a custom layer that I am using to build a kernel. The layer right now consists of a few kernel patches and a defconfig and is based on the standard kernel otherwise. When I do a diff on my defconfig and the bitbake generated .conf
