Introduction == 'Poky' is a combined cross build system and linux distribution based upon OpenEmbedded. It features support for building X11/Matchbox/GTK based filesystem images for various embedded devices and boards. Required Packages === Running Poky on Debian based distributions requires the following extra packages be installed; build-essential diffstat texinfo texi2html cvs subversion gawk You also need to install the qemu from http://debian.o-hand.com/. Alternatively poky can build qemu itself, but for this you need the following packages installed; gcc-3.4 libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev You will also need to comment out ASSUME_PROVIDED += "qemu-native"' in build/conf/local.conf. Building under other distro's such as Fedora is known to work. Use the above package names as a guide for dependencies. Building An Image === Simply run; % source poky-init-build-env % bitbake oh-image-pda This will result in an ext2 image and kernel for qemu arm (see scripts dir). To build for other machine types see MACHINE in build/conf/local.conf Notes: === Useful Links; OpenedHand http://openedhand.com Poky Homepage http://projects.o-hand.com/poky OE Homepage and wiki http://openembedded.org
