Back story: I have an Intel Edison board running some form of a Yocto distibution (from ubilinux-edison-150309.tar.gz). I want to change the kernel configuration. Following Intel's documention, I have downloaded the Yocto build for this board and have seperately learned that I can run:
$ bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig # enable some other kernel modules $ bitbake virtual/kernel -c compile -f $ bitbake edison-image u-boot (Yes, this could probably be optimized a bit... but at the moment I just want to try out my tweaked kernel). So, how would I try out my tweaked kernel? I see in tmp/deploy/ipk/edison a set of .ipk files that were just assembled, including the suggestively usefully named kernel-image-3.10.98-poky-edison+_1.0-r2_edison.ipk file, but also the confusingly named kernel-dev_1.0-r2_edison.ipk and kernel-modules_1.0-r2_edison.ipk files along with 23 files of the form kernel-module-*.ipk. I just want to try the new kernel and the new modules compiled with that kernel. How might I do that? I feel like I am going down a path of copy the .ipk files over to the device (much as I would copy .deb files over) and run "sudo ipkg -i *.ipk". But I wonder if I might be sorry just doing that. So I figured I'd ask around first. Any thoughts? --wpd -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
