The following examples show the devtool usage for Qualcomm software components.

Kernel

See Use Yocto to develop kernel.

QDL tool

Use the devtool to modify the QDL source in the workspace created.
devtool modify qdl
INFO: Source tree extracted to <workspace>/build/workspace/sources/qdl
INFO: Using source tree as build directory since that would be the default for this recipe
INFO: Recipe qdl now set up to build from <workspace>/build/workspace/sources/qdl
  1. Check out the following tree locally:
    tree -L 2 build/workspace/
    build/workspace/
    ├── appends
    │   └── qdl_git.bbappend
    ├── conf
    │   └── layer.conf
    ├── README
    └── sources
        └── qdl
    
  2. Inspect the checked-out QDL source tree:
    ls workspace/sources/qdl/
    firehose.c  LICENSE  Makefile  patch.c  patch.h  program.c  program.h  qdl.c  qdl.h  README  sahara.c  ufs.c  ufs.h  util.c
    
  3. Change the source tree under workspace/sources/qdl/ and build your changes:
    devtool build qdl
    devtool build-image qcom-multimedia-image
    
The generated images are in the path build/tmp/deploy/images/rb3gen2-core-kit/qcom-multimedia-image.

Weston

Use the devtool to modify Weston in the workspace created.
devtool modify weston
INFO: Adding local source files to srctree...
INFO: Source tree extracted to <workspace>/build/workspace/sources/weston
INFO: Recipe weston now set up to build from <workspace>/build/workspace/sources/weston
  1. Check out the following tree locally:
    tree -L 2 build/workspace/
    build/workspace/
    ├── appends
    │   └── weston_10.0.2.bbappend
    ├── conf
    │   └── layer.conf
    ├── README
    └── sources
        └── weston
    
  2. Inspect the checked-out Weston source tree:
    ls workspace/sources/weston/
    clients           COPYING      desktop-shell     include      libweston          meson.build        oe-local-files  pipewire    releasing.rst  tests  weston.ini.in
    compositor        data         doc               ivi-shell    libweston-desktop  meson_options.txt  oe-logs         protocol    remoting       tools  xwayland
    CONTRIBUTING.rst  DCO-1.1.txt  fullscreen-shell  kiosk-shell  man                notes.txt          oe-workdir      README.rst  shared         wcap
    
  3. Change the source tree under workspace/sources/weston/ and build your changes:
    devtool build weston
    devtool build-image qcom-multimedia-image
    
The generated images are in the path build/tmp/deploy/images/rb3gen2-core-kit/qcom-multimedia-image.
