In case a systemd service disables itself while init is still in its boot sequence the reloading of the service files can be problematic. In that case: It seems that systemd looses the state of .device units, and some services depend on such units (namely serial consoles such as serial-getty@ttymxc0.service). As a result no getty is spawned on the affected serial tty. After a power-cycle the second boot (which does not disable services) succeeds. The following sequence shows this problem: | Jan 09 16:36:28 apalis-t30 systemctl[162]: Removed /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/run-postinsts.service. | Jan 09 16:36:28 apalis-t30 systemd[1]: Reloading. | ... | And then the failing one: | Feb 22 15:33:15 apalis-t30 systemd[1]: dev-ttyS0.device: Job dev-ttyS0.device/start timed out. | Feb 22 15:33:15 apalis-t30 systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-ttyS0.device. | Feb 22 15:33:15 apalis-t30 systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Serial Getty on ttyS0. | Feb 22 15:33:15 apalis-t30 systemd[1]: serial-getty@ttyS0.service: Job serial-getty@ttyS0.service/start failed with result 'dependency'. | Feb 22 15:33:15 apalis-t30 systemd[1]: dev-ttyS0.device: Job dev-ttyS0.device/start failed with result 'timeout'. | Feb 22 15:33:15 apalis-t30 systemd[1]: Reached target Login Prompts. (the time has been updated between this two events, but that does not influence the issue) Using --no-reload in the service file avoids the "Reloading." message above and seems to not cause such issues anymore.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
