bootimg.bbclass supported creation of FAT filesystem images for usage with syslinux (kernel and initrd in /boot/) and creation of ISO images with kernel and initrd on it. ISO images contained also not needed /boot/ directory from FAT image. Now still two files are created as result but both contain only needed files. git-svn-id: https://svn.o-hand.com/repos/poky/trunk@1899 311d38ba-8fff-0310-9ca6-ca027cbcb966
Introduction
'Poky' is a combined cross build system and linux distribution based upon OpenEmbedded. It features support for building X11/Matchbox/GTK based filesystem images for various embedded devices and boards.
Required Packages
Running Poky on Debian based distributions requires the following extra packages be installed;
build-essential diffstat texinfo texi2html cvs subversion gawk bochsbios (to run qemux86 images)
You also need to install the qemu from http://debian.o-hand.com/. A poky-depends deb is also available from this source which will install all the dependencies mentioned above for you.
Alternatively poky can build qemu itself, but for this you need the following packages installed;
gcc-3.4 libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev
You will also need to comment out ASSUME_PROVIDED += "qemu-native"' in
build/conf/local.conf.
Building under other distro's such as Fedora is known to work. Use the above package names as a guide for dependencies.
Building An Image
Simply run;
% source poky-init-build-env % bitbake oh-image-pda
This will result in an ext2 image and kernel for qemu arm (see scripts dir).
To build for other machine types see MACHINE in build/conf/local.conf
Other image targets such as oh-image-sdk or oh-image-core are available, see meta/packages/images/*.
