Yocto-Danny

Release an existing package

ssh embedded-dev -l venture
cd /home/yocto-danny/poky/

setup build environment

. oe-init-build-env

Edit bitbake file to update revision

vi ../meta-venture/recipes-venture/vrfrv2-linux/vrfrv2-linux-event-beta.bb
MACHINE=vrreader-am35 bitbake vrfrv2-linux-event-beta
./update-feed.sh

NEW Style (Yocto)

For an existing package from the old openembedded layout

• copy the old .bb file and the related files/ or <package name>/ directory to the new location in /home/yocto/poky/meta-venture/recipes-venture/

• add some new Yocto things, like the LIC_FILES_CHKSUM and LICENSE variable, also some of the distro fields (DESCRIPTION,HOMEPAGE) need to be set (see vrfrv2-linux_*.bb for example)

• go to the YOCTO build folder /home/yocto/poky/build with the YOCTO stuff sourced ( cd /home/yocto/poky && source oe-init-build-env ) or switch to the screen terminal that has the yocto prompt already

• MACHINE=vrreader-am35 bitbake <package>

Testing a package using 'devshell'

you will need to have built the package once to get the run.do_configure script (even if configure fails)

MACHINE=vrreader-om37 bitbake vrfrv2-linux-event -c devshell

then inside the devshell...

../temp/run.do_configure.5839 # (for example, to run oe's configure)
../temp/run.do_compile.* # (for example, to run oe's compile)
or just make, make clean, etc.

OLD Style (ASD, som9g45)

Basic steps:

• go to /opt/oe/emac-oe-2009-stable directory.

• Modify code/bitbake files. Make sure to bump the PR (package rev) to have units in the field update with an ipkg upgrade.
• if it is local svn stuff (aka, forkliftreader_linux code,) then

update SRCREV=> latest svn rev & PR => +1 (make sure to check everything in before hand) in the following bb file:

/opt/oe/venture-stable-2009/recipes/vrfrv2-linux/vrfrv2-linux_5.0.bb

do this to force a rebuild:

./oe-run.sh vrfrv2-linux -f -c fetch

• then, run (substitute the package you are building for <package>, i.e. vrfrv2-linux)

./oe-run.sh <package>

• to update units in the field/upgrade using ipkg, also run the update-feed script

./update-feed.sh

Then units in the field can run ipkg update / ipkg install <package> to get the latest package.
