Recent versions of ICU (64+) provides a tool for configuring ICU
locale data file with finer granularity [1]
Default generated size for libicudata.so.66.1 is ~27M, which is quite
large for embedded systems and all of them may not even need all locale
data.
This patch calls the icudata buildtool during configure on the icudata
and utilizes a filter called 'filter.json` ( empty by default) to
create the data, default behavior should remain same but someone can
add a filter.json in own layer to configure this data, e.g.
{
"localeFilter": {
"filterType": "language",
"whitelist": [
"en",
"de",
"it"
]
}
}
would only generate the locale data for english/german/italian
This would reduce the size of libicudata.so.66.1 to 12M
Ensure that icudata is generated using host-tools so it can deal with
endianness correctly, when host and target systems have different
endianness
install the icudtata file back into in/ folder so that main build
can now pickup this data file instead of regenerating it and wiping
out the filter changes that are expected to take effect
Use native compiler tools
Update the big-endian support patch to apply to latest Makefile.in
from icudata source and mark it as backport
defer applying 0001-Fix-big-endian-build.patch after moving new data/ in

QEMU Emulation Targets ====================== To simplify development, the build system supports building images to work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants: * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64) * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64) * PowerPC (qemuppc only) * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64) Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual. The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given in brackets.
