The way we read data from the serial console was unreliable and blocking (AutoBuilder seems to hit that often), so change the serial console type from unix socket to tcp and reverse the connection - don't let qemu act as server (wait for a connection). So now the serial console is used to save the boot log and make sure that we reached the login prompt. Until a better way is found this should solve some of the AutoBuilder failures (one being YB#4904). Also we need to use the same method as the old qemuimagetest to get the ip (from the qemu process arguments), because that it's more reliable. The first version used here was to log into the target and use the output of "ip addr show eth0" but then systemd decides that it should rename interfaces, so that was changed to get the ip of the interface that has the default gw, but if there is no default gw we'll get the loopback ip and we end up trying to ssh into the host machine (some recent AutoBuilder runs showed that). Changed in V2: - use -ww for ps, as output might get truncated (From OE-Core rev: 55e78185110937b7e2b143cf1020426d8df58b72) Signed-off-by: Stefan Stanacar <stefanx.stanacar@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Saul Wold <sgw@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
=====================
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components
should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake:
bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto:
poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If
in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
repository.
openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix
of oe-core and poky-specific files.
