From b1b9f43ca41394b3e81fbcd0d30350e0d4d68c94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:05:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] dev-manual: Updated "Toaster" section to be API-only. Fixes [YOCTO #4730] The web interface for Toaster was cut from the 1.5 release. I have commented out the existing section and replaced it with a short introductory section for the API only.

+ Examining Builds Using the Toaster API + + + Toaster is an Application Programming Interface (API) to the + OpenEmbedded build system, which uses BitBake. + The interface is a Representational State Transfer (REST) API + that queries for and returns build information using + GET and JSON. + + + + Through the API you can do the following: + + See information about the tasks executed + and reused during the build. + See what is built (recipes and + packages) and what packages were installed into the final + image. + See performance-related information such + as build time, CPU usage, and disk I/O. + Examine error, warning and trace messages + to aid in debugging. + + + + + In summary, the search operation retrieves a set of objects from + a data store used to collect build information. + The result contains all the data for the objects being returned. + You can order the results of the search by key and the search + parameters are consistent for all object types. + + + + For complete information on the API and its search operation + URI, parameters, and reposes, see the + REST API Contracts + Wiki page. + +
