Hi Aaron,
The main pain for now is that `devtool sdk-install <DEPEND_RECIPE>' does
not work as expected, right?
I just checked the codes of sdk-install, and found that it does not fit
the current RSS design.
I'd like to check with you if this is the major concern from your team?
Do you have some other concerns?
I'll open enhancements/bugs on bugzilla and hopefully will work on them
in the 2.7 development cycle.
Best Regards,
Chen Qi

I think we would *like* this to be possible, from what I can tell I
think the
issue is that the copies of the library in the sysroots of other
dependent
recipes aren't being updated. The eSDK (and devtool) were originally
written
when there weren't recipe-specific sysroots, and this stuff was a bit
simpler.
Moving back to the full build system won't automatically fix this,
though it
does make workarounds possible - you'd need to rebuild the dependent
recipes
to get their sysroots updated.
Cheers,
Paul

I put together a devtool plugin to almost do what I want:
from devtool import exec_build_env_command, DevtoolError
def sdk_sysroot(args, config, basepath, workspace):
"""Entry point for the devtool sdk-sysroot command"""
try:
exec_build_env_command(config.init_path, basepath, 'bitbake
build-sysroots', watch=True)
except bb.process.ExecutionError as e:
raise DevtoolError('Failed to bitbake build-sysroots:\n%s' %
(str(e)))
def register_commands(subparsers, context):
"""Register devtool subcommands from the sdk plugin"""
if context.fixed_setup:
parser_sdk_sysroot = subparsers.add_parser(
'sdk-sysroot',
help='Update the SDK sysroot',
description='Updates the SDK sysroot so that changes made to
recipes in the workspace will be available,',
group='sdk')
parser_sdk_sysroot.set_defaults(func=sdk_sysroot)
This allows me to "devtool modify <DEPENDENT_RECIPE>", edit the code,
"devtool build <DEPENDENT_RECIPE>", "devtool sdk-sysroot", and use the new
code from the dependent recipe immediately.
This makes me wonder if "bitbake build-sysroots" should not be a part of
"devtool build", like it is for "devtool sdk-install" (where I stole it
from).
