+ From within the poky Git repository, you can use
+ the following command to display the list of directories within the
+ Source Directory
+ that containe image recipe files:
$ ls meta*/recipes*/images/*.bb
- These recipes reside in the meta/recipes-core/images,
- meta/recipes-extended/images,
- meta/recipes-graphics/images,
- meta/recipes-qt/images,
- meta/recipes-rt/images,
- meta/recipes-sato/images, and
- meta-skeleton/recipes-multilib/images directories
- within the Source Directory.
- Although the recipe names are somewhat explanatory, here is a list that describes them:
-
- build-appliance-image:
- An example virtual machine that contains all the pieces required to
- run builds using the build system as well as the build system itself.
- You can boot and run the image using either the
- VMware Player
- or VMware Workstation.
- For more information on this image, see the
- Build Appliance page on
- the Yocto Project website.
- core-image-base:
- A console-only image that fully supports the target device hardware.
- core-image-clutter:
- An image with support for the Open GL-based toolkit Clutter, which enables development of
- rich and animated graphical user interfaces.
- core-image-directfb:
- An image that uses directfb instead of X11.
-
- core-image-full-cmdline:
- A console-only image with more full-featured Linux system
- functionality installed.
- core-image-lsb:
- An image that conforms to the Linux Standard Base (LSB)
- specification.
- This image requires a distribution configuration that
- enables LSB compliance (e.g. poky-lsb).
- If you build core-image-lsb without that
- configuration, the image will not be LSB-compliant.
-
- core-image-lsb-dev:
- A core-image-lsb image that is suitable for development work
- using the host.
- The image includes headers and libraries you can use in a host development
- environment.
- This image requires a distribution configuration that
- enables LSB compliance (e.g. poky-lsb).
- If you build core-image-lsb-dev without that
- configuration, the image will not be LSB-compliant.
-
- core-image-lsb-sdk:
- A core-image-lsb that includes everything in
- meta-toolchain but also includes development headers and libraries
- to form a complete standalone SDK.
- This image requires a distribution configuration that
- enables LSB compliance (e.g. poky-lsb).
- If you build core-image-lsb-sdk without that
- configuration, the image will not be LSB-compliant.
- This image is suitable for development using the target.
- core-image-minimal:
- A small image just capable of allowing a device to boot.
- core-image-minimal-dev:
- A core-image-minimal image suitable for development work
- using the host.
- The image includes headers and libraries you can use in a host development
- environment.
-
- core-image-minimal-initramfs:
- A core-image-minimal image that has the Minimal RAM-based
- Initial Root Filesystem (initramfs) as part of the kernel,
- which allows the system to find the first “init” program more efficiently.
- See the
- PACKAGE_INSTALL
- variable for additional information helpful when working with
- initramfs images.
-
- core-image-minimal-mtdutils:
- A core-image-minimal image that has support
- for the Minimal MTD Utilities, which let the user interact with the
- MTD subsystem in the kernel to perform operations on flash devices.
-
- core-image-rt:
- A core-image-minimal image plus a real-time test suite and
- tools appropriate for real-time use.
- core-image-rt-sdk:
- A core-image-rt image that includes everything in
- meta-toolchain.
- The image also includes development headers and libraries to form a complete
- stand-alone SDK and is suitable for development using the target.
-
- core-image-sato:
- An image with Sato support, a mobile environment and visual style that works well
- with mobile devices.
- The image supports X11 with a Sato theme and applications such as
- a terminal, editor, file manager, media player, and so forth.
-
- core-image-sato-dev:
- A core-image-sato image suitable for development
- using the host.
- The image includes libraries needed to build applications on the device itself,
- testing and profiling tools, and debug symbols.
- This image was formerly core-image-sdk.
-
- core-image-sato-sdk:
- A core-image-sato image that includes everything in meta-toolchain.
- The image also includes development headers and libraries to form a complete standalone SDK
- and is suitable for development using the target.
- core-image-testmaster:
- A "master" image designed to be used for automated runtime testing.
- Provides a "known good" image that is deployed to a separate
- partition so that you can boot into it and use it to deploy a
- second image to be tested.
- You can find more information about runtime testing in the
- "Performing Automated Runtime Testing"
- section in the Yocto Project Development Manual.
-
- core-image-testmaster-initramfs:
- A RAM-based Initial Root Filesystem (initramfs) image tailored for
- use with the core-image-testmaster image.
-
- core-image-weston:
- A very basic Wayland image with a terminal.
- This image provides the Wayland protocol libraries and the
- reference Weston compositor.
- For more information, see the
- "Wayland" section.
-
- core-image-x11:
- A very basic X11 image with a terminal.
-
- qt4e-demo-image:
- An image that launches into the demo application for the embedded
- (not based on X11) version of Qt.
