[poky] WAS: SDK (GMAE) questions NOW: build scripting question

[Zhang, Jessica]

Yes, this is the command line to generate the target rootfs, build the cross toolchain and also the ipk package index.  You can definitely build your automated build setup from there.

OK, I think I found out how to do this in one of this year's ELC presentations on Yocto by David Stewart (Intel).

CLI-prompt>MACHINE=[qemu[x86|arm] | atom-pc | emenlow | ...] bitbake poky-image-sato-sdk meta-toolchain package-index ...

Am I on the right track?

Thanks for listening! :)

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the interest.  I'll adding Beth, our release engineer to the email thread since she's managing our auto builder which generate the weekly, nightly build, etc through scripts.

Thanks,
Jessica

Hi Jessica -

This is interesting to me, because I'm also getting started on a Poky project. How would you automate the different target builds? I'm contemplating a qemu build for on-host debug, and an atom-pc release target. I know that there's a MACHINE variable in local.conf, but I'd like to script this for automated nightly builds.

Hi Gary,

You can achieve one host to support multiple target config, through Yocto adt-installer, this way you'll have desired target cross toolchain installed under /opt/poky instead of all the overlapping packages.  Since the Yocto toolchain supports sysroot, you can setup your sysroot by using your target image rootfs under desired directories of your choice.  Also, since adt-installer is based on ipk, it's easier to customize your sysroot setup through opkg pkgm.

Thanks,
Jessica

I'd like to use one host machine to support multiple target configurations,
e.g. ppc603 + armv7a + armv5e  Currently, if I build the SDK, it seems that
there are too many overlaps, conflicts, for this to work.  Am I missing
something?

Also, is there a way I can [easily] select what goes into the SDK?  For
example, my armv5e targets are bare with no X, etc, so it seems silly
to populate the SDK with tons of X oriented packages.

Thanks for any pointers
