OpenEmbedded Recipes
This is my log of trying to understand what each element of a .bb file is.
linux recipes
Definitions
SECTION
- Top level package section. base, kernel, libs, x11, x11/utils. This appears to be similar to a bbclass. How is this used?
DESCRIPTION
- Description of package to be built. I assume this shows up in the ipkg meta data.
LICENSE
- GPL or other. How is this used?
DEPENDS
- This package cannot be built/recipe not baked until the packages/recipes listed in DEPENDS have been built/baked.
PR
- How is this used?
DEFAULT_PREFERENCE
- How is this used?
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE
- A machine as described in local.conf and with an appropriate config file in OE/conf/machine. How is this used?
SRC_URI
- Some documentation available at berlios.de[1].
S
- Source directory, I think.
FILES_kernel-image
- The complete path of the final kernel-image in the destination filesystem.
OS
- How is this used?
ARCH
- How is this used?
KERNEL_IMAGETYPE
- Filename of the image to be built. The exact name is dependent on the architecture. Could be one of the following.
* vmlinux * image * uImage * bzImage * zImage * zImage.flash
