2012-08-07linux-yocto-custom: Clarify usage and clear COMPATIBLE_MACHINEDarren Hart
There has been some confusion over proper use of the linux-yocto-custom recipe. It is not intended to build as is from meta-skeleton. It should be modified via a bbappend file to provide a Linux kernel config at the very least. Update the commentary to make this requirement more explicit. Add some additional detail about how to create a bbappend file and how and when to modify the various variables. Clear COMPATIBLE_MACHINE so bitbake will not attempt to build the recipe unless the user explicitly adds there machine to the variable, which should encourage them to read the recipe comments before attempting to build it.

2012-07-03linux-yocto-custom: Remove linux-toolsDarren Hart
Remove the linux-tools include as perf is now packaged independently. Without this, including meta-skeleton in bblayers.conf results in a build failure as linux-tools.inc cannot be found.

2012-06-18meta-skeleton: add linux-yocto-custom reference recipeBruce Ashfield
Adding a skeleton/refrence recipe for using a subset of the yocto kernel tools against kernel git repositories. Sample/reference configuration fragments, features and a patch are provided and documented in the recipe. From the recipe itself: Provides an example/minimal kernel recipe that uses the linux-yocto and oe-core kernel classes to apply a subset of yocto kernel management to git managed kernel repositories. Notes: kconfig(s): the kernel must be configured with a defconfig, or via configuration fragment(s). Either of these can be added via bbappend. patches: patches can be merged into to the source git tree itself, added using standard bbappend syntax or controlled via .scc feature descriptions (also via bbappends) example configuration addition: SRC_URI += "file://smp.cfg" example patch addition (for kernel v3.4 only): SRC_URI += "file://0001-linux-version-tweak.patch example feature addition (for kernel v3.4 only): SRC_URI += "file://feature.scc" Warning: Building the sample kernel tree (kernel.org) without providing any configuration will result in build or boot errors. This is not a bug it is a required element for creating a valid kernel. [YOCTO #2397] Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>
2012-04-10hello-mod: Move hello-mod from meta to meta-skeletonDarren Hart
Fixes [YOCTO #1501] hello-mod is an example kernel module, and does not provide any real functionality. As such, it would be better placed under meta-skeleton than meta. Signed-off-by: Darren Hart <dvhart@linux.intel.com>
