Build directory in Yocto
The build directory
is created when you run source oe-init-build-env script. Its main directories are:
- conf : Configuration files which control poky and Bitbake. build/conf/local.conf and build/conf/bblayers.conf are present in it
- downloads: yocto stores all the downloaded packages (Source files), including those downloaded over SVN or git or similar
- sstate-cache: snapshost of an unaltered Yocto recipe deployed as a set of packaged data generating a cache. Bitbake checks SSTATE to see if a recipe does not need to be rebuilt, thereby saving time.
- tmp: temporary build directory. We will see a lot more about tmp directory in the upcoming posts.
