[yocto] question about toaster in yocto 1.7
Hi all I have read the Toaster Manual 1.7 and have a question : The toaster still can't launch a build in yocto 1.7 ? Thanks, Lei Maohui -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
Re: [yocto] do_install() is not getting called
Thanks Christian. It worked. I gave bitbake -c install to install it.

So I created a bb file inside the recipe. Then from the build directory, I am able to successfully compile the source files and was able to create the library ( bitbake -c compile -f package_name ). This is a makefile based package and I don't have an install target in my Makefile. So I am writing a do_install in my bb file and I am doing install there. I can see that do_compile task is getting called. But do_install ( which was overridden in my bb file ) task is not called and the images and libraries are not installed in the sysroots directory. By running bitbake -f -c compile the do_install is not called. Either you call bitbacke package_name or to force install butbake -c install. Sometime a clean or cleanall before a compile also helps. This is needed if you already had a successfull run.

Hi Lei, No, I am afraid Toaster still cannot launch builds in Yocto Project 1.7. We are working on it though, so Toaster should be able to launch builds in Yocto Project 1.8. If you want to help us make it happen (contributions sorely needed), let me know.

[yocto] Truncated 64 bit return from kernel space
Hello all, I have a custom kernel module driver that returns a truncated 64-bit value. The first 32-bits are missing. The driver is called using llseek() and the address used in user space and in kernel space is 64-bits, but when returning from kernel space, the first 32-bits gets truncated, only returning the second half. I've used printk on the address value before returning it in the driver and it is the full 64-bit address. The return is using loff_t, and I'm using a genericx86-64 Linux kernel. Any thoughts?

[yocto] Making Hob better.
Hello everyone, I am new to the embedded space, been working with embedded for a couple of months now as well as Linux itself. After much time spent with Hob I have to say it's a awesome tool to use. However I would like it to be better than it already is, I see the potential of this interface to help newbies like myself, weather it be hobbyist or industrial use. So below is what I have found through my fiddling around with Hob. -Some interface inconsistencies when your selecting layers, image type, distro type etc. -Image deployments (Only .hddimg and .iso can be deployed to physical media at the end (To my knowledge) of the build process. There's is a lot of FS types, but I would really like to have a steps on how to install these other FS types which documentation nor simply goggling it helps) -Branding. There are ways to go and edit files to specify how to rebrand and stuff but that requires a command line. I would like to have the simple screen where I can add branding (Boot screens, Logos, and distro names etc.). I could definitely if Hob does have a Web User interface where I can't access a command line to change parameters of the finished product. -Documentation is awesome, however from a person that has only a year and a half experience using Linux it's kinda hard reading it sometimes. (Not really anything bad on Yocto's part. I would just like to input something that newbies can be represented in this project) I really could see Hob become a open source version of openSUSE Studio (Which it's closed source) but for embedded devices. So that's just my hopes for Hob / Yocto could become... Lastly, I would really love to help with development as well. I haven't really gotten into programming that much but I have worked with the Fedora Server Special Interest Group doing QA for Alpha and Beta release. So if anyone can put me in the right direction I can certainly help YP out. Thank you. -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
Re: [yocto] Making Hob better.
John, Hob is not meant to be like Suse Studios. Further more you are right about the interface sucking hard for certain things, I would recommend you start cleaning that up first and then afterwards move on to other areas of interest with YP.

However I would like it to be better than it already is, I see the potential of this interface to help newbies like myself, weather it be hobbyist or industrial use. So below is what I have found through my fiddling around with Hob. -Some interface inconsistencies when your selecting layers, image type, distro type etc. -Image deployments (Only .hddimg and .iso can be deployed to physical media at the end (To my knowledge) of the build process. There's is a lot of FS types, but I would really like to have a steps on how to install these other FS types which documentation nor simply goggling it helps) -Branding. There are ways to go and edit files to specify how to rebrand and stuff but that requires a command line. I would like to have the simple screen where I can add branding (Boot screens, Logos, and distro names etc.). I could definitely if Hob does have a Web User interface where I can't access a command line to change parameters of the finished product. -Documentation is awesome, however from a person that has only a year and a half experience using Linux it's kinda hard reading it sometimes. (Not really anything bad on Yocto's part. I would just like to input something that newbies can be represented in this project) I really could see Hob become a open source version of openSUSE Studio (Which it's closed source) but for embedded devices. So that's just my hopes for Hob / Yocto could become... Lastly, I would really love to help with development as well. I haven't really gotten into programming that much but I have worked with the Fedora Server Special Interest Group doing QA for Alpha and Beta release. So if anyone can put me in the right direction I can certainly help YP out. Thank you. -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
