oe-build-easy

Description

A script to made easily an embedded Linux system with OpenEmbedded/Poky from scratch with a combo-layer configurations:

• Download combo-layer script
• Initialize repositories are defined in the combo-layer configuration
• Source the build environment
• Edit local.conf to update the build configuration (distro...)
• Edit bblayers.conf to add additional layers
• Run bitbake to build the target image

Usage

$ ./oe-build-easy --help
Usage:
  oe-build-easy [options] CONFIG_PATH

Options:
  -c, --compodir COMBO_PATH  Directory path of components
  -C, --combodir COMPO_PATH  Directory path of combination

Examples

To build a distroless minimal image for qemux86 target:

$ ./oe-build-easy ./examples/core.conf \
      --machine qemux86 \
      --image core-image-minimal

To build a Poky sato image for qemuarm target:

$ TEMPLATECONF=meta-yocto/conf ./oe-build-easy ./examples/poky.conf \
      --machine qemuarm \
      --distro poky \
      --image core-image-sato

To do

• Add additional parameters and options
• Add debug message
• Finish to add the support of combo-layer update
• Implement build-all and parse-all target in Makefile
• Check Makefile parameters

Known Issues

• Can't build Tizen distribution, because oe-init-build-env is renamed to tizen-init-build-env
