- Yocto Project Terms
-
-
- Following is a list of terms and definitions users new to the Yocto Project development
- environment might find helpful.
- While some of these terms are universal, the list includes them just in case:
-
- Append Files: Files that append build information to
- a recipe file.
- Append files are known as BitBake append files and .bbappend files.
- The OpenEmbedded build system expects every append file to have a corresponding
- recipe (.bb) file.
- Furthermore, the append file and corresponding recipe file
- must use the same root filename.
- The filenames can differ only in the file type suffix used (e.g.
- formfactor_0.0.bb and formfactor_0.0.bbappend).
-
- Information in append files extends or overrides the
- information in the similarly-named recipe file.
- For an example of an append file in use, see the
- "Using .bbappend Files" section.
-
- Append files can also use wildcard patterns in their version numbers
- so they can be applied to more than one version of the underlying recipe file.
-
-
- BitBake:
- The task executor and scheduler used by the OpenEmbedded build
- system to build images.
- For more information on BitBake, see the
- BitBake User Manual.
-
-
- Build Directory:
- This term refers to the area used by the OpenEmbedded build
- system for builds.
- The area is created when you source the
- setup environment script that is found in the Source Directory
- (i.e. &OE_INIT_FILE;
- or
- oe-init-build-env-memres).
- The TOPDIR
- variable points to the Build Directory.
-
-
- You have a lot of flexibility when creating the Build
- Directory.
- Following are some examples that show how to create the
- directory.
- The examples assume your
- Source Directory is
- named poky:
-
- Create the Build Directory inside your
- Source Directory and let the name of the Build
- Directory default to build:
-
- $ cd $HOME/poky
- $ source &OE_INIT_FILE;
-
- Create the Build Directory inside your
- home directory and specifically name it
- test-builds:
-
- $ cd $HOME
- $ source poky/&OE_INIT_FILE; test-builds
-
-
- Provide a directory path and
- specifically name the Build Directory.
- Any intermediate folders in the pathname must
- exist.
- This next example creates a Build Directory named
- YP-&POKYVERSION;
- in your home directory within the existing
- directory mybuilds:
-
- $cd $HOME
- $ source $HOME/poky/&OE_INIT_FILE; $HOME/mybuilds/YP-&POKYVERSION;
-
-
-
- By default, the Build Directory contains
- TMPDIR,
- which is a temporary directory the build system uses for
- its work.
- TMPDIR cannot be under NFS.
- Thus, by default, the Build Directory cannot be under NFS.
- However, if you need the Build Directory to be under NFS,
- you can set this up by setting TMPDIR
- in your local.conf file
- to use a local drive.
- Doing so effectively separates TMPDIR
- from TOPDIR, which is the Build
- Directory.
-
-
- Classes: Files that provide for logic encapsulation
- and inheritance so that commonly used patterns can be defined once and then easily used
- in multiple recipes.
- For reference information on the Yocto Project classes, see the
- "Classes" chapter of the
- Yocto Project Reference Manual.
- Class files end with the .bbclass filename extension.
-
- Configuration File:
- Configuration information in various .conf
- files provides global definitions of variables.
- The conf/local.conf configuration file in
- the
- Build Directory
- contains user-defined variables that affect every build.
- The meta-poky/conf/distro/poky.conf
- configuration file defines Yocto "distro" configuration
- variables used only when building with this policy.
- Machine configuration files, which
- are located throughout the
- Source Directory, define
- variables for specific hardware and are only used when building
- for that target (e.g. the
- machine/beaglebone.conf configuration
- file defines variables for the Texas Instruments ARM Cortex-A8
- development board).
- Configuration files end with a .conf
- filename extension.
-
-
- Cross-Development Toolchain:
- In general, a cross-development toolchain is a collection of
- software development tools and utilities that run on one
- architecture and allow you to develop software for a
- different, or targeted, architecture.
- These toolchains contain cross-compilers, linkers, and
- debuggers that are specific to the target architecture.
-
-
- The Yocto Project supports two different cross-development
- toolchains:
-
- A toolchain only used by and within
- BitBake when building an image for a target
- architecture.
- A relocatable toolchain used outside of
- BitBake by developers when developing applications
- that will run on a targeted device.
-
-
-
-
-
- Creation of these toolchains is simple and automated.
- For information on toolchain concepts as they apply to the
- Yocto Project, see the
- "Cross-Development Toolchain Generation"
- section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
- You can also find more information on using the
- relocatable toolchain in the
- Yocto Project Software Development Kit (SDK) Developer's Guide.
-
- Image:
- An image is an artifact of the BitBake build process given
- a collection of recipes and related Metadata.
- Images are the binary output that run on specific hardware or
- QEMU and are used for specific use-cases.
- For a list of the supported image types that the Yocto Project provides, see the
- "Images"
- chapter in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
- Layer: A collection of recipes representing the core,
- a BSP, or an application stack.
- For a discussion specifically on BSP Layers, see the
- "BSP Layers"
- section in the Yocto Project Board Support Packages (BSP)
- Developer's Guide.
- Metadata:
- The files that BitBake parses when building an image.
- In general, Metadata includes recipes, classes, and
- configuration files.
- In the context of the kernel ("kernel Metadata"),
- it refers to Metadata in the meta
- branches of the kernel source Git repositories.
-
- OE-Core: A core set of Metadata originating
- with OpenEmbedded (OE) that is shared between OE and the Yocto Project.
- This Metadata is found in the meta directory of the
- Source Directory.
- OpenEmbedded Build System:
- The build system specific to the Yocto Project.
- The OpenEmbedded build system is based on another project known
- as "Poky", which uses
- BitBake as the task
- executor.
- Throughout the Yocto Project documentation set, the
- OpenEmbedded build system is sometimes referred to simply
- as "the build system".
- If other build systems, such as a host or target build system
- are referenced, the documentation clearly states the
- difference.
-
- For some historical information about Poky, see the
- Poky term.
-
-
- Package:
- In the context of the Yocto Project, this term refers to a
- recipe's packaged output produced by BitBake (i.e. a
- "baked recipe").
- A package is generally the compiled binaries produced from the
- recipe's sources.
- You "bake" something by running it through BitBake.
- It is worth noting that the term "package" can, in general, have subtle
- meanings. For example, the packages referred to in the
- "The Build Host Packages" section are
- compiled binaries that, when installed, add functionality to your Linux
- distribution.
- Another point worth noting is that historically within the Yocto Project,
- recipes were referred to as packages - thus, the existence of several BitBake
- variables that are seemingly mis-named,
- (e.g. PR,
- PV, and
- PE).
-
- Package Groups:
- Arbitrary groups of software Recipes.
- You use package groups to hold recipes that, when built,
- usually accomplish a single task.
- For example, a package group could contain the recipes for a
- company’s proprietary or value-add software.
- Or, the package group could contain the recipes that enable
- graphics.
- A package group is really just another recipe.
- Because package group files are recipes, they end with the
- .bb filename extension.
- Poky:
- The term "poky" can mean several things.
- In its most general sense, it is an open-source
- project that was initially developed by OpenedHand.
- With OpenedHand, poky was developed off of the existing
- OpenEmbedded build system becoming a commercially
- supportable build system for embedded Linux.
- After Intel Corporation acquired OpenedHand, the
- project poky became the basis for the Yocto Project's
- build system.
- Within the Yocto Project source repositories,
- poky exists as a separate Git
- repository you can clone to yield a local copy on your
- host system.
- Thus, "poky" can refer to the local copy of the Source
- Directory used for development within the Yocto
- Project.
- Finally, "poky" can refer to the default
- DISTRO
- (i.e. distribution) created when you use the Yocto
- Project in conjunction with the
- poky repository to build an image.
-
- Recipe:
- A set of instructions for building packages.
- A recipe describes where you get source code, which patches
- to apply, how to configure the source, how to compile it and so on.
- Recipes also describe dependencies for libraries or for other
- recipes.
- Recipes represent the logical unit of execution, the software
- to build, the images to build, and use the
- .bb file extension.
-
-
- Source Directory:
- This term refers to the directory structure created as a result
- of creating a local copy of the poky Git
- repository git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
- or expanding a released poky tarball.
-
- Creating a local copy of the poky
- Git repository is the recommended method for setting up
- your Source Directory.
-
- Sometimes you might hear the term "poky directory" used to refer
- to this directory structure.
-
- The OpenEmbedded build system does not support file or
- directory names that contain spaces.
- Be sure that the Source Directory you use does not contain
- these types of names.
-
-
- The Source Directory contains BitBake, Documentation,
- Metadata and other files that all support the Yocto Project.
- Consequently, you must have the Source Directory in place on
- your development system in order to do any development using
- the Yocto Project.
-
- When you create a local copy of the Git repository, you
- can name the repository anything you like.
- Throughout much of the documentation, "poky"
- is used as the name of the top-level folder of the local copy of
- the poky Git repository.
- So, for example, cloning the poky Git
- repository results in a local Git repository whose top-level
- folder is also named "poky".
-
- While it is not recommended that you use tarball expansion
- to set up the Source Directory, if you do, the top-level
- directory name of the Source Directory is derived from the
- Yocto Project release tarball.
- For example, downloading and unpacking
- &YOCTO_POKY_TARBALL; results in a
- Source Directory whose root folder is named
- &YOCTO_POKY;.
-
- It is important to understand the differences between the
- Source Directory created by unpacking a released tarball as
- compared to cloning
- git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.
- When you unpack a tarball, you have an exact copy of the files
- based on the time of release - a fixed release point.
- Any changes you make to your local files in the Source Directory
- are on top of the release and will remain local only.
- On the other hand, when you clone the poky
- Git repository, you have an active development repository with
- access to the upstream repository's branches and tags.
- In this case, any local changes you make to the local
- Source Directory can be later applied to active development
- branches of the upstream poky Git
- repository.
-
- For more information on concepts related to Git
- repositories, branches, and tags, see the
- "Repositories, Tags, and Branches"
- section.
- Task:
- A unit of execution for BitBake (e.g.
- do_compile,
- do_fetch,
- do_patch,
- and so forth).
-
- Upstream: A reference to source code or repositories
- that are not local to the development system but located in a master area that is controlled
- by the maintainer of the source code.
- For example, in order for a developer to work on a particular piece of code, they need to
- first get a copy of it from an "upstream" source.

+
+
+ Build Directory:
+ This term refers to the area used by the OpenEmbedded build
+ system for builds.
+ The area is created when you source the
+ setup environment script that is found in the Source Directory
+ (i.e. &OE_INIT_FILE;
+ or

+ $ cd $HOME
+ $ source poky/&OE_INIT_FILE; test-builds
+
+
+ Provide a directory path and
+ specifically name the Build Directory.
+ Any intermediate folders in the pathname must
+ exist.
+ This next example creates a Build Directory named
+ YP-&POKYVERSION;
+ in your home directory within the existing
+ directory mybuilds:
+
+ $cd $HOME
+ $ source $HOME/poky/&OE_INIT_FILE; $HOME/mybuilds/YP-&POKYVERSION;
+
+
+
+ By default, the Build Directory contains
+ TMPDIR,
+ which is a temporary directory the build system uses for
+ its work.
+ TMPDIR cannot be under NFS.
+ Thus, by default, the Build Directory cannot be under NFS.
+ However, if you need the Build Directory to be under NFS,
+ you can set this up by setting TMPDIR
+ in your local.conf file
+ to use a local drive.
+ Doing so effectively separates TMPDIR
+ from TOPDIR, which is the Build
+ Directory.

+
+ Classes: Files that provide for logic encapsulation
+ and inheritance so that commonly used patterns can be defined once and then easily used
+ in multiple recipes.
+ For reference information on the Yocto Project classes, see the
+ "Classes" chapter of the
+ Yocto Project Reference Manual.
+ Class files end with the .bbclass filename extension.
+
+ Configuration File:
+ Configuration information in various .conf
+ files provides global definitions of variables.
+ The conf/local.conf configuration file in
+ the
+ Build Directory
+ contains user-defined variables that affect every build.
+ The meta-poky/conf/distro/poky.conf
+ configuration file defines Yocto "distro" configuration
+ variables used only when building with this policy.
+ Machine configuration files, which
+ are located throughout the
+ Source Directory, define
+ variables for specific hardware and are only used when building
+ for that target (e.g. the
+ machine/beaglebone.conf configuration
+ file defines variables for the Texas Instruments ARM Cortex-A8
+ development board).
+ Configuration files end with a .conf
+ filename extension.
+
+
+ Cross-Development Toolchain:
+ In general, a cross-development toolchain is a collection of
+ software development tools and utilities that run on one
+ architecture and allow you to develop software for a
+ different, or targeted, architecture.
+ These toolchains contain cross-compilers, linkers, and
+ debuggers that are specific to the target architecture.
+
+
+ The Yocto Project supports two different cross-development
+ toolchains:
+
+ A toolchain only used by and within
+ BitBake when building an image for a target
+ architecture.
+ A relocatable toolchain used outside of
+ BitBake by developers when developing applications
+ that will run on a targeted device.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Creation of these toolchains is simple and automated.
+ For information on toolchain concepts as they apply to the
+ Yocto Project, see the
+ "Cross-Development Toolchain Generation"
+ section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
+ You can also find more information on using the
+ relocatable toolchain in the
+ Yocto Project Software Development Kit (SDK) Developer's Guide.
+
+ Image:
+ An image is an artifact of the BitBake build process given
+ a collection of recipes and related Metadata.
+ Images are the binary output that run on specific hardware or
+ QEMU and are used for specific use-cases.
+ For a list of the supported image types that the Yocto Project provides, see the
+ "Images"
+ chapter in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
+ Layer: A collection of recipes representing the core,
+ a BSP, or an application stack.
+ For a discussion specifically on BSP Layers, see the
+ "BSP Layers"
+ section in the Yocto Project Board Support Packages (BSP)
+ Developer's Guide.
+ Metadata:
+ The files that BitBake parses when building an image.
+ In general, Metadata includes recipes, classes, and
+ configuration files.
+ In the context of the kernel ("kernel Metadata"),
+ it refers to Metadata in the meta
+ branches of the kernel source Git repositories.
+
+ OE-Core: A core set of Metadata originating
+ with OpenEmbedded (OE) that is shared between OE and the Yocto Project.
+ This Metadata is found in the meta directory of the
+ Source Directory.
+ OpenEmbedded Build System:
+ The build system specific to the Yocto Project.
+ The OpenEmbedded build system is based on another project known
+ as "Poky", which uses
+ BitBake as the task
+ executor.
+ Throughout the Yocto Project documentation set, the
+ OpenEmbedded build system is sometimes referred to simply
+ as "the build system".
+ If other build systems, such as a host or target build system
+ are referenced, the documentation clearly states the
+ difference.
+
+ For some historical information about Poky, see the
+ Poky term.
+
+
+ Package:
+ In the context of the Yocto Project, this term refers to a
+ recipe's packaged output produced by BitBake (i.e. a
+ "baked recipe").
+ A package is generally the compiled binaries produced from the
+ recipe's sources.
+ You "bake" something by running it through BitBake.
+ It is worth noting that the term "package" can, in general, have subtle
+ meanings. For example, the packages referred to in the
+ "The Build Host Packages" section are
+ compiled binaries that, when installed, add functionality to your Linux
+ distribution.
+ Another point worth noting is that historically within the Yocto Project,
+ recipes were referred to as packages - thus, the existence of several BitBake
+ variables that are seemingly mis-named,
+ (e.g. PR,
+ PV, and

+ Arbitrary groups of software Recipes.
+ You use package groups to hold recipes that, when built,

+ For example, a package group could contain the recipes for a
+ company’s proprietary or value-add software.
+ Or, the package group could contain the recipes that enable
+ graphics.
+ A package group is really just another recipe.
+ Because package group files are recipes, they end with the
+ .bb filename extension.
+ Poky:
+ The term "poky" can mean several things.
+ In its most general sense, it is an open-source
+ project that was initially developed by OpenedHand.
+ With OpenedHand, poky was developed off of the existing
+ OpenEmbedded build system becoming a commercially

+ project poky became the basis for the Yocto Project's

+ Within the Yocto Project source repositories,

+ Directory used for development within the Yocto
+ Project.
+ Finally, "poky" can refer to the default
+ DISTRO
+ (i.e. distribution) created when you use the Yocto
+ Project in conjunction with the
+ poky repository to build an image.
+
+ Recipe:
+ A set of instructions for building packages.
+ A recipe describes where you get source code, which patches
+ to apply, how to configure the source, how to compile it and so on.
+ Recipes also describe dependencies for libraries or for other
+ recipes.
+ Recipes represent the logical unit of execution, the software
+ to build, the images to build, and use the
+ .bb file extension.
+
+
+ Source Directory:
+ This term refers to the directory structure created as a result
+ of creating a local copy of the poky Git
+ repository git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
+ or expanding a released poky tarball.
+
+ Creating a local copy of the poky
+ Git repository is the recommended method for setting up
+ your Source Directory.
+
+ Sometimes you might hear the term "poky directory" used to refer
+ to this directory structure.
+
+ The OpenEmbedded build system does not support file or
+ directory names that contain spaces.
+ Be sure that the Source Directory you use does not contain
+ these types of names.
+
+
+ The Source Directory contains BitBake, Documentation,
+ Metadata and other files that all support the Yocto Project.
+ Consequently, you must have the Source Directory in place on
+ your development system in order to do any development using
+ the Yocto Project.
+
+ When you create a local copy of the Git repository, you
+ can name the repository anything you like.
+ Throughout much of the documentation, "poky"
+ is used as the name of the top-level folder of the local copy of
+ the poky Git repository.
+ So, for example, cloning the poky Git
+ repository results in a local Git repository whose top-level
+ folder is also named "poky".
+
+ While it is not recommended that you use tarball expansion
+ to set up the Source Directory, if you do, the top-level
+ directory name of the Source Directory is derived from the
+ Yocto Project release tarball.
+ For example, downloading and unpacking
+ &YOCTO_POKY_TARBALL; results in a
+ Source Directory whose root folder is named
+ &YOCTO_POKY;.
+
+ It is important to understand the differences between the
+ Source Directory created by unpacking a released tarball as
+ compared to cloning
+ git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.
+ When you unpack a tarball, you have an exact copy of the files
+ based on the time of release - a fixed release point.
+ Any changes you make to your local files in the Source Directory
+ are on top of the release and will remain local only.
+ On the other hand, when you clone the poky
+ Git repository, you have an active development repository with
+ access to the upstream repository's branches and tags.
+ In this case, any local changes you make to the local
+ Source Directory can be later applied to active development
+ branches of the upstream poky Git
+ repository.
+
+ For more information on concepts related to Git
+ repositories, branches, and tags, see the
+ "Repositories, Tags, and Branches"
+ section in the Yocto Project Development Manual.
+
+ Task:
+ A unit of execution for BitBake (e.g.
+ do_compile,
+ do_fetch,
+ do_patch,
