Windows CE -- Setting/Clearing environmental variables for OS Design

-
An environmental variable contains information such as drive, path, or con figuration string.

When you create an OS design, the IDE sets specific environmental variables based on the settings you choose for your design and run-time image.You can modify these environmental variable settings during the development process.

You can set or clear environmental variables from:

1. A command prompt build window
2. A batch file
3. IDE

To set/clear an environmental variable in the IDE:

For example , to set the BSP_NOAUDIO environmental variable and exclude all audio components from the runtime image, we need to do the following:

1. In the IDE, select Project ->  Properties

2. On the left pane, expand the Con guration Properties node and click on Environment to bring up the Environmental Variables setting utility

3. To set an environmental variable for the OS Design, click on New and enter the Variable name and associated value,

To set/clear environmental variable from Command prompt or batch file:

To set in a command prompt build window or batch file, type the following command:

set <environmental variable> = <value>

To clear, in a command prompt build window or batch fi le, type the following command:

set <environmental variable> =

To determine the value of an existing environmental variable, at the command prompt, enter the following command:

set <environmental variable>

bb.utils.contains yocto

bb.utils.contains  is most commonly used function in Yocto. grep in poky directory returned with 696 count. $ grep -nr 'bb.utils.contains' poky/ | wc -l 696 It's definition is present in 'poky/bitbake/lib/bb/utils.py' file This function returns third argument if the second argument is subset of the first argument else returns fourth argument Let's take an example to understand this. You can see from the above screenshot, when the second argument is a subset of first argument, "present" was returned, else "notpresent" was returned We can also use bb.utils.contains inside if loop. This we can use inside a recipe. if ${@bb.utils.contains('SOMEFLAG','NEWVALUE3','true','false',d)}; then     FOO = 'HELLO' fi

Difference between RDEPENDS and DEPENDS in Yocto

-
We normally observe these two (RDEPENDS and DEPENDS) whenever we open any recipe. What should we choose when we write our own recipe. DEPENDS -> Build Time Dependency RDEPENDS -> Run Time Dependency DEPENDS: When a recipe 'A' is DEPENDS on recipe 'B'. In this case, Bitbake first builds recipe 'B' and then recipe 'A' E.g. You need 'dbus' to be built before 'wpa_supplicant'. RDEPENDS: When a recipe 'A' is RDEPENDS on recipe 'B'. In this case, Bitbake deploys 'B' on the target system when it deploys 'A'.  E.g. 'perf' RDEPENDS on 'bash' In other words, DEPENDS are those set of packages that should be available while building package, whereas RDEPENDS are set of packages that should be available during execution of the program.

Building the Linux Kernel is a two-step process: Configuring the Kernel options Building the Kernel with those options. There are many methods available for configuring the kernel. make config: Text-based Configuration.  Options are prompted one after another. All options need to be answered Access to former options is not possible make menuconfig: Menu-driven user interface Allows to navigate forwards and backward directly between features Allows to load and save files with filenames different from ".config" Provides search feature It uses ncurses library for GUI. If the ncurses library is not installed, make menuconfig option fails. To install ncurses library on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev make defconfig: Creates a ".config" file with default options from the ARCH supplied defconfig Configurations are generally stored in the directory: arch/$(ARCH)/configs $ ls arch/x86/configs/ i386_defconfi
