Description Darren Hart 2013-11-20 00:55:07 UTC

Prepare a core-image-kernel-dev recipe which includes recipes known to be sensitive to kernel changes. This includes things like:

hello-mod
linux-headers
dropbear
lttng
system-tap
ftrace
tracecmd

This image will continue to collect recipes as testing indicates correlation between kernel changes and build/functionality issues.

I'm building with the following:  core-image-kernel-dev

# Could also be core-image-basic, but we'll keep this small for now

------------------------------

It will go into poky-extras first, unless there are better suggestions.

Comment 2 Darren Hart 2014-03-04 22:13:49 UTC

Looks a reasonable start, why not just submit it to oe-core?

Comment 3 Darren Hart 2014-03-06 19:06:26 UTC

Bruce, can you please ensure it includes:

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-testapps"
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL = "pciutils alsa-utils dmidecode usbutils"

(not necessarily in those variables)

Comment 4 Bruce Ashfield 2014-03-06 19:34:05 UTC

Yep, debug tweaks is inherited from minimal, but we can be explicit as well.
The others I can add.

Comment 6 Richard Purdie 2014-04-13 20:43:39 UTC

Is this planned to go into OE-Core or are we happy with it in poky-extras?

Does poky-extras even exist in fact? I can only find http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto-kernel-extras/ which hasn't been touched for 10 months...

Comment 7 Bruce Ashfield 2014-10-01 04:46:51 UTC

sent for review, but this needs more work to fix the dependency on 
meta-skeleton for kernel module builds. moving to 1.8.

Verified in commit df0672b038e6942c97d266af9ca175a06f2b0423
