<p>
You can see debug output from BitBake by using the <code class="filename">-D</code> option.
The debug output gives more information about what BitBake
is doing and the reason behind it.
Each <code class="filename">-D</code> option you use increases the logging level.
The most common usage is <code class="filename">-DDD</code>.
</p>
<p>
The output from <code class="filename">bitbake -DDD -v targetname</code> can reveal why
BitBake chose a certain version of a package or why BitBake
picked a certain provider.
This command could also help you in a situation where you think BitBake did something
unexpected.
