Description Paul Eggleton 2014-06-11 20:50:48 UTC
Add bitbake/oe-core as a tool into the SDK. There are pieces of functionality in bitbake such as the sstate and image generation which are chunks of code we do not want to duplicate. The intent is not to require the SDK user to use bitbake but to have these pieces of code available behind the scenes that the SDK tools can call into and use. This brings commonality into our toolset and in the long run will allow a 'stepless' transition between "SDK use" and more full use of other parts of the build system rather than the current stepped transition.
