=== Using Toaster ===


Here are the design documents we follow.
Toaster can run in various modes and setups.


== User Experience Design ==
* '''Local mode''' - in this mode Toaster is setup for use as a local development tool. It can be used to configure builds or just as a receiver for builds done on the command line with bitbake. You can launch it like this:


Design takes place in evolutive steps, and most recent design usually supersedes older ones.
$ source oe-init-build-env
Here is a set of links to the UEx Design pages.

* [[Web_Hob_design_project_with_T%26T]] - the current design to be followed in terms of UEx and UI
* [[Visualisations]] - different ways to run visualisations
* [[File:Multiuser_support_in_Web_Hob.pdf]] - preliminary design document
* [[File:Web_Hob_content_structure.pdf]]


=== WebHob mockups ===
You then navigate to the link in your browser (e.g. http://localhost:8000) and configure a project. Or start building in the normal way with bitbake via the command line. Toaster will automatically pick up the builds and you will be able to see them on the build dashboard in your browser.

* '''Production mode''' - All the same functionality as the local mode but with the web server setup as a shared service for multiple developers to use, this sets up Toaster as a wsgi application and [[Setting up a production instance of Toaster|requires additional configuration]].

== Architecture and component design ==
Specific pages with Toaster how-tos are available below.
We are planning the capabilities of WebHob based on evolutive stages of implementation, using community feedback on each stage to plan, design and implement a set of capabilities for the next stage.
In the first stage, synchronized with the planning of Yocto 1.5, we'll implement a build analysis / image inspection module.


WebHob is designed as a collection of components that will run independently performing isolated functions. The interfaces between components are documented on this wiki as to ease interoperability with newer components. From design phase, we've taken care to account for further expansion needs, and account for scalability problems.

  • Local mode - in this mode Toaster is setup for use as a local development tool. It can be used to configure builds or just as a receiver for builds done on the command line with bitbake. You can launch it like this:

$ source toaster start

  • Production mode - All the same functionality as the local mode but with the web server setup as a shared service for multiple developers to use, this sets up Toaster as a wsgi application and requires additional configuration.
