Download or read book BitBake User Manual written by Richard Purdie and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentally, BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach. This manual provides information on the BitBake tool. The information attempts to be as independent as possible regarding systems that use BitBake, such as OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project. In some cases, scenarios or examples within the context of a build system are used in the manual to help with understanding. For these cases, the manual clearly states the context. This manual is available online for free at yoctoproject.org. This manual is printed in grayscale.
