Toaster is a web-based interface to the Bitbake build system and the Poky distribution inside the Yocto Project. This project was formely known as Web Hob / Webhob / webhob, and you may still find references to the old name in the documentation.

General discussion about Toaster happens on a dedicated mailing list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/toaster

Using Toaster

About Toaster

User interface

The design of the Toaster user interface takes place in iterations, and most recent designs supersede older ones.

The latest iteration is always available at: http://www.yoctoproject.org/toaster

Detailed design documentation is attached to Bugzilla features. Features with design documentation attached have "GUI design available" written in the Whiteboard field, so it is easy to search for them.

Toaster 1.7 scope and design discussions

We are currently planning work for the Yocto Project 1.7 release. Get involved.

Architecture and component design

We are planning the capabilities of Toaster 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 Project 1.5 release, we implemented the back end of a build analysis / image inspection module. As part of the Yocto Project 1.6 release, we are building a web-based graphical user interface for the build analysis / image inspection module.

Toaster 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.

Testing

Old design documents

This page is about the Web Hob project. Web Hob is a web-based interface to the Yocto Project.

General discussion about Web Hob happens on a dedicated mailing list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/webhob

There have been 2 main pieces of work related to Web Hob so far:

Web Hob information architecture

Different approaches to multi-user workflows

This document outlines the different approaches we have uncovered so far to facilitate multi-user and team work with Web Hob.

Visualisations index

The build analysis functionality in Web Hob will include several graphical presentations of build data. The first step to design them is listing them all.
