Product team also needs to customize the binary image and do some offline configuration before generating the final image. Product team also needs to deploy the final image to target. 2) In the case where same board is used for various needs and OS need not be built again, but already built OS image needed to be customized and used. ---Suggestions: Tentative changes need to be done to current model to support this requirement include 1) Poky should able to generate a OS Package pool. 2) A tool to support integrating the binary packages from OS package pool and ADT built packages to generate OS image. Also can think whether HOB can be modified to support the same.ie.,without building from sources 3) A tool to support binary level offline configuration Also can think whether HOB can be enhanced to support Offline image configuration. 4) ADT and Eclipse plugin should generate the binary application packages in the format allowing binary package integration. 26520 1 jessica.zhang 2012-10-11 14:40:11 +0000 Venkata, This is too broad as a requirement so mark it for future. But if you have anything specific that you think is a 1.4 candidate, could you please file more specific bugs for them? Thanks, Jessica 31314 2 venkatarg 2013-04-01 05:43:24 +0000 Posted RFC: Post build configuration. https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2013-March/015095.html Looking forward this enhancement as part of 1.5 Working to make a prototype, with a configuration file and command line interface to configure. 33229 3 bluelightning 2013-05-23 10:05:50 +0000 Reclassifying (since this is not related to Hob) and moving to 1.5 as requested. 33882 4 venkatarg 2013-06-13 13:21:45 +0000 Develop post build configuration platform which supports extending the configurations for various configuration needs. The platform should 1. support various package level and image level binary configurations. 2. work with poky and outside poky at binary level. 3. support Configuration file format, Human readable and writable. 33883 5 1267 venkatarg 2013-06-13 13:28:24 +0000 Created attachment 1267 Sample configuration file format to meet configuration needs # Description : This is a sample format, only for reference however actual functions configuration funtions will differ # version : 0.1 # # BNF for conf file: # # sectiondef : '[' sectioninfo ']' [statements] # statements : [ statement ]* # statement : operation '(' [paramlist] ')' # operation : identifier # paramlist : param [, param ]* # param : directparam | fullparam | embstatement # directparam : nondelimiters | '"' anycharcters '"' # fullparam : identifier '=' (directparam | embstatement) # embstatement : statement # identifier : [ alphanums_-. ] # nondelimiters : <anycharcters except [ or ( or " or , or ) or ] > 33884 6 venkatarg 2013-06-13 13:45:06 +0000 Configuration support contains following components: ConfFile - Configuration file ConfLib - Various Configuration methods supported, contains both package level and image level configurations. ConfParser - Parser for configuration file, as per its Conf BNF ConfApply - Support applying the configuration options on the image ConfQuery - Support querying various configuration options/data from Conf file, after parsing the conf file. (also can provide interface to update the conf file from UI tool in future) ConfDoc - Prints the list of various configuration methods supported as part of ConfLib and thier usage.

I think it would make sense to restart any efforts in this area from a fresh perspective although ideas can be taken from the info here. 92470 9 randy.macleod 2022-02-03 16:36:16 +0000 I've CCed Hongxu, since he wrote much of the Linux Assembly Tool ( https://github.com/Wind-River/meta-lat ) so if people are interested, they can take a look at that layer. Also Hongxu might want to look at the requirements here to see if there are ideas that could be implemented in LAT. I'm not suggesting that there are since only know a tiny bit about LAT. 98162 10 randy.macleod 2024-02-08 16:15:32 +0000 The world has changed since this issue was raised and we'd need to re-evaluate the proposal. 1267 2013-06-13 13:28:24 +0000 2013-06-13 13:28:24 +0000 Sample configuration file format to meet configuration needs oct_sample_configuration_0.1.conf text/plain 3001 venkatarg IyAgIEF1dGhvciAgICAgICAgOiB2ZW5rYXRhcmdAaHVhd2VpLmNvbQojICAgRGVzY3JpcHRpb24g ICA6IFRoaXMgaXMgYSBzYW1wbGUgZm9ybWF0LCBvbmx5IGZvciByZWZlcmVuY2UgaG93ZXZlciBh Y3R1YWwgZnVuY3Rpb25zIGNvbmZpZ3VyYXRpb24gZnVudGlvbnMgd2lsbCBkaWZmZXIKIyAgIHZl cnNpb24gICAgICAgOiAwLjEKIwojICAgQk5GIGZvciBjb25mIGZpbGU6CiMKIyBzZWN0aW9uZGVm CTogJ1snIHNlY3Rpb25pbmZvICddJyBbc3RhdGVtZW50c10gICAgICAgICAKIyBzdGF0ZW1lbnRz CTogWyBzdGF0ZW1lbnQgXSogICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAKIyBzdGF0ZW1lbnQg CTogb3BlcmF0aW9uICcoJyBbcGFyYW1saXN0XSAnKScgICAgICAgICAgICAgIAojIG9wZXJhdGlv biAJOiBpZGVudGlmaWVyCiMgcGFyYW1saXN0IAk6IHBhcmFtIFssIHBhcmFtIF0qICAgICAgICAg ICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIAojIHBhcmFtICAgICAJOiBkaXJlY3RwYXJhbSB8IGZ1bGxwYXJhbSB8 IGVtYnN0YXRlbWVudCAgIAojIGRpcmVjdHBhcmFtIAk6IG5vbmRlbGltaXRlcnMgfCAnIicgYW55 Y2hhcmN0ZXJzICciJyAgICAKIyBmdWxscGFyYW0gICAJOiBpZGVudGlmaWVyICc9JyAoZGlyZWN0 cGFyYW0gfCBlbWJzdGF0ZW1lbnQpIAojIGVtYnN0YXRlbWVudCAJOiBzdGF0ZW1lbnQgICAgICAg ICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIAojIGlkZW50aWZpZXIgIAk6IFsgYWxwaGFudW1zXy0uIF0K IyBub25kZWxpbWl0ZXJzIDogPGFueWNoYXJjdGVycyBleGNlcHQgWyBvciAoIG9yICIgb3IgLCBv ciApIG9yIF0gPgoKW2dlbmVyYWxdCnZlcnNpb24oICIxLjIiICkKCltwa2dzXQphZGRsaWIoIDMy LDY0ICkKCiNtaW5pbWFsL21hbmRhdG9yeSBwa2dzIGFyZSBkZWZhdWx0IGFkZGVkCmFkZHBrZygg bGliYWNsICkKCiNhZGQgYWxsIGtlcm5hbCBtb2R1bGUgZXhjZXB0IGtlcm5lbC1tb2R1bGUtcGNo c3BpCmFkZHBrZygga2VybmVsLW1vZHVsZSosICFrZXJuZWwtbW9kdWxlLXBjaHNwaSApCgphZGRw a2dzKCBwYWNrYWdlZ3JvdXAtY29yZS1ib290LAoJb3BlbnNzaCwKCWJ1c3lib3gsCgl1cGRhdGUt bW9kdWxlcywKCSMgQWRkaXRpb25hbCBQYWNrYWdlIENvbmZpZ3VyYXRpb24KCWJpbnV0aWxzLAoJ Y29yZXV0aWxzLAoJY3JhY2tsaWIsCgkjQWRkZWQgZm9yIGRpc2sgTWFuYWdlbWVudAoJZTJmc3By b2dzLWUyZnNjaywKCWUyZnNwcm9ncy1ta2UyZnMsCgllMmZzcHJvZ3MtZXh0NCwKCWVsZnV0aWxz LAoJZWxmdXRpbHMtbGliZWJsLAoJaXByb3V0ZTIsCglpcHV0aWxzLAoJbG9ncm90YXRlLAoJbmZz LXV0aWxzLAoJbnVtYWN0bC0yLjAuMy1yMC54ODZfNjQsCgludW1hY3RsLTIuMC4zLXIwLng4NiwK CWxpYnN0ZGN4eCwKCWxpYnBhbSwKCXBhbS1wbHVnaW4tKiwKCSFwYW0tcGx1Z2luLW1vdGQsCgkh cGFtLXBsdWdpbi1wZXJtaXQsCglwY2l1dGlscywKCXBvcnRtYXAsCglwcm9jcHMsCglzZWQsCglz aGFkb3csCglzeXNjb25maWcsCglzeXNsb2ctbmcsCglzeXN2aW5pdCwKCXN5c3Zpbml0LXBpZG9m LAoJaHctYnJlYWtwb2ludCwKCSNBZGRlZCBmb3IgZGlzayBNYW5hZ2VtZW50Cgl1dGlsLWxpbnV4 LAoJdmxhbiwKCXBlcmYsCglsb2NrLXRhc2sgKQoKYWRkZGVidWdwa2coIHN0cmFjZSwKCSAgICAg ZXRodG9vbCwKCSAgICAgZmlsZSwKCSAgICAgYmludXRpbHMtZGVidWcsCgkgICAgIG9wcm9maWxl LAoJICAgICBpcHJvdXRlMi1kZWJ1ZwoJICAgICkKCgpbbW9kdWxlLWluaXRdCmNvbmZpZ21vZCgg bW9kdWxlX3NxdWFzaGZzX21vZHVsZXMsIHBhY2thZ2U9a2VybmVsLW1vZHVsZS1zcWFzaGZzLCBz dGF0dXM9ZSkKY29uZmlnbW9kKCBtb2R1bGVfcmFtZnNfbW9kdWxlcywKCSAgIHBhY2thZ2U9a2Vy bmVsLW1vZHVsZS1yYW1mcywKCSAgIHN0YXR1cz1lLAoJICAgcGFyYW09InJzaXplPTEwMCxjYWRk cmVzcz0weDQ0NCIgKQoKW3VzZXJzXQphZGRncm91cCggcnRvcyApCmFkZHVzZXIoIHJhbWFuYSwg cHdkaGh4eCwgbGlmZT05OTk5ICkgCmFkZHVzZXIoIHVzZXIxLCBwd2RoaHl5LCBsaWZlPTk5OTkg LCBzaGVsbD0vdXNyL2JpbikgCmFkZHVzZXIoIHVuYW1lPXVzZXIyLCBwd2Q9cHdkaGh5eSwgbGlm ZT05OTk5ICwKCSBzaGVsbD0vdXNyL2JpbiwKCSBncm91cD0ibWFpbCxzc2gscnRvcyIgKSAKCgoK W2tlcm5lbF0Ka2VybmVscGFyYW0oICJubWlfd2F0Y2hkb2c9MSByZGluaXQ9L3NjX2luaXQiICkK CltuZXR3b3JrXQppZmNvbmZpZyggZXRoMCwgMTAuMTguODkuMjIyLCAyNTUuMjU1LjI1NS4wKSAK aWZjb25maWcoIGV0aDEsIGZmZTo6MjAwICwgbW9kZT02KSAKYWRkcm91dGUoIGV0aDAsIDEwLjE4 Ljg5LiosIDE5Mi4xNjguMS4xICkKYWRkcm91dGUoIGV0aDEsIGZmZTo6KiwgRkYyOjoxICwgbW9k ZT02ICkKCltzZWN1cml0eV0KaW5jbHVkZSAoIHNlY3VyaXR5LmNvbmYgKQoKW2ZzXQojIHNob3Vs ZCBiZSBtb3JlIGRldGFpbGVkIGFuZCByZWxvb2tlZApkaXNraW1hZ2UoIAoJcGFydGl0aW9ucyAo CgkJcGFydGl0aW9uKCBoZDAsIC9ob21lICwgZXh0NCwgc2l6ZT0zRywgZmxhZ3M9InIgYWNwIiwg ZnN0YWI9eSApLAoJCXBhcnRpdGlvbiggaGQxLCAvICwgZXh0NCwgc2l6ZT1tYXgsIGZsYWdzPSJy dyBhY3AiICwgZnN0YWI9eSApCgkJKQoJKQojIG9yCmRpc2tpbWFnZSgKCWV4dDIoc2l6ZT0xMDI0 MCkKCSkKIyBvcgpmbGFzaGltYWdlKAoJamZmczIoIGVudHJ5cG9pbnQ9MHg4MDAwMCxzaXplPTEw MjQwLGJsb2Nrc2l6ZT01MTIgKQoJKQoKIyBvcgpmbGFzaGltYWdlKAoJamZmczIoIGVudHJ5cG9p bnQ9MHg4MDAwMCxzaXplPTEwMjQwLGJsb2Nrc2l6ZT01MTIsIGZzPS9ob21lKSwKCWNyYW1mcygg ZW50cnlwb2ludD0weDg4ODg4ODg4MDAwMCxzaXplPTEwMjQwLGJsb2Nrc2l6ZT01MTIsIGZzPSIv ICEvaG9tZSIpCgkpCgojIG9yCmFyY2hpdmVpbWFnZSggdHlwZT1jcGlvLnRhci5neiApCgojIG9y Cmlzb2ltYWdlKGR2ZCkgCgpbb3RoZXJzXQoJCgoKCgoKCgkKCg==
