Introduction
The current BitBake User Manual, as of Dec. 31, 2012 is quite out dated. This page serves a a place to collect ideas for revisions that are required to the bring the User Manual up to date.
Current TOC
The chapter layout of the BitBake User Manual is currently:
- Introduction
- Metadata
- File Download Support
- The bitbake command
What to Include?
- As pointed out by rday, the patch function is inherent to oe-core, while the fetch function is inherent to bitbake. So can one be discussed without the other?
- Concepts:
- Explain each step in the bitbake process thoroughly.
- Provide context to commands. The why, not just the how.
Lessons to Include
- The Bitbaked Hello World
- Build on the work by Eren Turkey and the original tutorial at the OpenEmbedded wiki.
- Using the Bitbake Env Utility
