Introduction
Thanks to BitBake's client/server split there are several possibilities for graphical interaction with BitBake. At this time most development effort is being put into the hob GUI, which aims to be a general-purpose graphical tool for interactive BitBake sessions.
Current GUI's
There are currently three GUI's in BitBake, the most recent of which is in the "extremely prototype" phase of development.
depexp - a graphical dependency explorer use-case: view task dependencies in an interactive GUI
run with: bitbake -g -u depexp <some-target>
goggle - a graphical build viewer use-case: watch build progress using a GUI, potentially easier to follow than terminal output
run with: bitbake -u goggle <some-target>
hob - a graphical image creator use-case: create custom images without having to edit files by hand
run with: bitbake -u hob
If you play with Hob please remember it's not finised yet and report any bugs you find in the Build System bug tracker under the "image creator" component.
