In this recipe, we will go through the development workflows described earlier using the Linux kernel as an example.
We will see how the following development workflows are applied to the Linux kernel:
External development
Working directory development
External source development
Let's explain the three methodologies listed previously in detail.
When compiling outside of the Yocto build environment, we can still use the Yocto-provided toolchain to build. The process is as follows:
We will use the Yocto project cross-compilation toolchain already installed in your host.
Clone the
wandboard-org linux-wandboardrepository locally:$ cd /opt/yocto $ git clone https://github.com/wandboard-org/linux.git linux-wandboard $ cd linux-wandboard
Go to the branch specified in the
linux-wandboard_3.10.17.bbrecipe:$ git checkout -b wandboard_imx_3.10.17_1.0.2_ga origin/wandboard_imx_3.10.17_1.0.2_gaCompile the kernel source as follows...
