Introduction
==
'Poky' is a combined cross build system and linux distribution based
upon OpenEmbedded. It features support for building X11/Matchbox/GTK
based filesystem images for various embedded devices and boards.
Required Packages
===
Running Poky on Debian based distributions requires the following
extra packages be installed;
build-essential
diffstat
texi2html
cvs
subversion
gawk
You also need to install the qemu from http://debian.o-hand.com/.
Alternatively poky can build qemu itself, but for this you need the
following packages installed;
gcc-3.4
libsdl1.2-dev
zlib1g-dev
You will also need to comment out ASSUME_PROVIDED += "qemu-native"' in
build/conf/local.conf.
Building under other distro's such as Fedora is known to work. Use the above
package names as a guide for dependencies.
Building An Image
===
Simply run;
% source poky-init-build-env
% bitbake oh-image-pda
This will result in an ext2 image and kernel for qemu arm (see scripts dir).
To build for other machine types see MACHINE in build/conf/local.conf
