Useful targets

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.
