How do permanently add kernel command line parameters to grub

-
Suppose, you want to permanently add/modify a kernel command line parameter to grub, for example we want to specify kernel to reboot after 5 seconds on a panic message. The kernel command line parameter for this.

panic=5

One option is while the grub menu is loading you can press 'e' and add it, but this is not persistent in reboots. To make it permanent, the GRUB provides a configuration option GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX which adds command-line  arguments to the menu entries for the Linux Kernel.


Open /etc/default/grub using vim, requires sudo permission: sudo vi /etc/default/grub

Save the file : ":wq" command
Then run "update-grub" command to add these commands to /boot/grub/grub.cfg file
Finally reboot to reload the kernel parameters.

Appending and Prepending in Yocto - +=, =+ vs .=, =.

-

Bitbake provides two sets of appending and prepending operators. 1. +=, =+ 2. .= , =. For example, A = "hello" A += "world" C = "good" C =+ "bye" The value of A will be "hello world" and C will be "bye good" So, += is appending and =+ is for prepending. Note, that these operators include an additional space between each call When we don't need to add space, we can use .=, =. operators. These are mainly used to concatenate strings. When we use append, prepend, there will be no additional space added, you need to manually provide space. You can also remove values from the variable using 'remove'.

Linux Commands for Hardware Info - lshw, lspci, lsdev, lscpu, lsblk, lsusb

In this post, we will discuss some of the Linux commands for retrieving hardware information. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 as my development machine. 1. lshw  -> lshw stands for list hardware. It generates detailed information about various hardware devices present on the system by reading the /proc filesystem. Running lshw without any commands will generate full information report about all detected hardware. Note: It should run as root user to get full information Running "lshw -short" will produce brief information For more lshw commands, look at this article:  https://www.binarytides.com/linux-lshw-command/ 2. lspci  -> Displays information about the PCI buses in the system and devices connected to them. Simply run the lspci command to get the PCI information. Running "lspci -vvv" command will generate verbose output, which also contains the name of the driver for that PCI Device. Running "lspci -tree" will di...

PR, PN and PV Variable in Yocto

-
PN : Represents the name of the recipe. The name is usually extracted from the recipe file name. PR:  Represents the revision of the recipe. Default value for this revision is "r0". Subsequent revisions of the recipe conventionally will have "r1", "r2" and so on. PV:  Represents the version of the recipe. Normally extracted from the recipe file name. For example: ffmpeg_3.4.2.bb recipe. ${PN} : ffmpeg ${PV} : 3.4.2
