The existing 2.6.34 kernel tree uses _ where poky typically uses -. This is a historical artifact, since working with gnu Make and shells means avoiding - is wise. The opposite is true in Yocto. To avoid using the _ reserved character wherever possible we can simply remove it from the branch names in the new 2.6.37 kernel, but to keep the content stable in the 0.9 2.6.34 kernel, we map _ to - for the purposes of packaging. To further faciliate this switch, the branch names no longer need to be shortened in the KMACHINE mappings, but can be fully specified and the tools/processing adapt as required. This gives us the flexibility to map multiple boards to a single branch for building. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>
Poky ==== Poky platform builder is a combined cross build system and development environment. It features support for building X11/Matchbox/GTK based filesystem images for various embedded devices and boards. It also supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration. Poky has an extensive handbook, the source of which is contained in the handbook directory. For compiled HTML or pdf versions of this, see the Poky website http://pokylinux.org. Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware.
