Common Yocto tasks

This document describes how to perform common Yocto tasks using the kas tool.

Modify a recipe

Use devtool to modify a recipe

kas shell -c "devtool modify <recipe>" <config.yml>

Make your changes, then rebuild the recipe

kas shell -c "bitbake <recipe>" <config.yml>

To generate an SDK from the current build configuration

kas shell -c "bitbake -c do_populate_sdk <image>" <config.yml>

When the SDK generation is complete, you can see the images in the build/tmp/deploy/sdk directory.

Clean build artifacts for a specific recipe

kas shell -c "bitbake -fc do_cleansstate <recipe>" <config.yml>

Rebuild the recipe after cleanup

kas shell -c "bitbake <recipe>" <config.yml>
