Toaster

WebHob is a Web-based interface to the Bitbake build system and the Poky distribution inside the Yocto Project.

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.

Here are the design documents we follow.

User Experience Design

Design takes place in evolutive steps, and most recent design usually supersedes older ones. Here is a set of links to the UEx Design pages.

• Web_Hob_design_project_with_T&T - the current design to be followed in terms of UEx and UI
• Visualisations - different ways to run visualisations
• [support] - preliminary

Architecture and component design

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.
