Useful targets for bitbake (bitbake <targetname>)


Bitbake can build individual packages such as '''bitbake nano''' to build the single package '''nano''', but it's often more useful to build a set of things and say compile them into an image.  
= core-image-minimal =
Builds a minimal image for your target with basic system functionality, booting to a shell.


== Images ==
= world =
 
=== helloworld-image ===
Builds an image, that if used as a root filesystem, will start a static executable that prints hello world, then loops infinitely. Can be used to test the Linux boot procedure into user space (init).
 
=== bootstrap-image ===
Build image contains task-base packages.
 
=== console-image ===
Build an image without the X11, gtk+, or qt windowing libraries.
 
=== x11-image ===
Builds an image with X11
 
=== beagleboard-demo-image ===
Builds the Angstrom distribution like Koen proposed.
 
=== opie-image ===
Build image based on the [http://opie.handhelds.org Open Palmtop Integrated Environment] (OPIE). OPIE is a completely Open Source based graphical user environment and suite of applications for small form-factor devices, such as PDAs, running Linux.
 
=== opie-kdepim-image ===
Build image based on the OPIE and full featured KDE-based PIM (pi-sync, ko/pi, ka/pi, etc).
 
=== pivotboot-image ===
Build image that is necessary to flash a Sharp SL C3000, Zaurus. It pivots after booting from the NAND and finalizes the install to the HD during the first boot.
 
=== twin-image ===
task-base plus a couple of editors nano and vim --- why two? and a mail reader mutt
 
=== uml-image ===
A root image for user-mode-linux. Includes task-base, and parts of opie I think.
 
=== x11-gpe-image ===
Build a [http://gpe.handhelds.org/ GPE Palmtop Environment] based rootfs. The GPE provides a user interface environment for palmtop/handheld computers running the GNU/Linux or any other UNIX-like operating system.
 
=== sugar-image ===
Builds the sugar interface, of [http://laptop.org/ OLPC] fame
 
== Tasks ==
 
=== task-base ===
Build a kernel and core packages for a basic installation. You won't be able to do much more than ssh to the machine if this is all that's installed.
 
=== task-dvb ===
meta-package for DVB application (DVB = Digital Video Broadcasting).
 
=== task-python-everything ===
all of python.
 
=== task-native-sdk ===
 
meta-package for native (on-device) SDK
 
== Meta ==
 
The directory recipes/meta contains most of these "meta" targets that build multiple packages but some of the more useful ones are detailed below:
 
=== meta-opie ===
Build all OPIE related packages and some more for OPIE based usage.
 
=== meta-gpe ===
Basic packages to go with gpe-image.
 
== Other ==
 
=== helloworld ===
Builds a static executable that prints hello world, then loops infinitely.
 
=== world ===
Build everything. This takes a long time, a lot of network bandwidth, and a lot of disc space. Can also break your toolchain.

Useful targets for bitbake (bitbake <targetname>)

core-image-minimal

Builds a minimal image for your target with basic system functionality, booting to a shell.

world

Build everything. This takes a long time, a lot of network bandwidth, and a lot of disc space. Can also break your toolchain.

package-index

Target to update the "feed" files (Package*) to reflect the current set of .ipk's that exist in the deploy directory. Commonly used after building some packages individually to update the feed and allow them to be installed via a package manager or the opkg command line tools.

virtual/kernel

Builds the appropriate kernel for your device.
