I actually managed to figure out the ssh config override: https://github.com/ssnover/megabit-yocto/commit/b3e87d6f9f59d9b86fffc3f39d50da09aa39abec thanks to a section in the dev manual: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/layers.html#overlaying-a-file-using-your-layer
Lots of documentation, just not always clear how to find what I’m looking for or if what I’m trying to do is even a good idea 😅
> Is best practice here to start creating my own distro instead of poky?
The standard answer to this question is just about _any_ context is **yes**
Poky is a reference distro – it is not meant to be used in production. The latest releases of Yocto will now print a warning if you use Poky as your distro.
It is fine to use Poky for learning / exploring, but as soon as you want to use it seriously, you should be making your own distro.
This is the correct way to do it.
You have:
– Created your own layer
– Created an append file to modify an existing recipe
– Changed the config file being used.
👍
Thank you! I’m still trying to to get up and running so I’ll stick with poky for now, but going to a custom distro isn’t looking as imposing as I thought.
I’ve tried a bunch of things, but I’m a bit stumped when it comes to adding new bitbake recipes. I’ve successfully added some bbappend files and seen the changes reflected in the final image, and I added an image recipe that seems to be discovered by `bitbake` as a valid target, but when I’ve tried to add a small recipe which builds an app to install into that image, I can’t get `bitbake` to discover it.
So if I comment line 6 in here (https://github.com/ssnover/megabit-yocto/blob/3429c3edfb5fdc7dc9ae8681585e8b0f84c6ae85/meta-megabit/recipes-core/images/megabit-image-base.bb), I can run `bitbake megabit-image-base` no problem. But I’ve added an app with this recipe here (https://github.com/ssnover/megabit-yocto/blob/3429c3edfb5fdc7dc9ae8681585e8b0f84c6ae85/meta-megabit/recipe-apps/blink/blink_0.1.0.bb) and if I run `bitbake blink_0.1.0` I just get an error stating that nothing provides that target. I also tried `bitbake blink` in case the convention is to discard version postfix. I also tried a clean build directory just to see if it was a caching issue, but no luck.
You have a type in your directory name
/meta-megabit/recipe-apps/blink/blink_0.1.0.bb
vs
/meta-megabit/**recipes-apps**/blink/blink_0.1.0.bb
`recipes` is plural
The logic is that a diretcory may contain multiple recipe files
Oh wow, there needs to be a lint for that! Thank you 😂
You may be interested in the Tech Tips tomorrow as I will be talking about how I created a Yocto Project layer for a demo I am creating
That does sound informative, is that tomorrow morning (US East coast time)?
I thought I saw a list on the server somewhere, but it’s escaping me now
Yes it’s tomorrow at 15:00 GMT/10:00 EST
