WIP Yocto Container Build

Work-in-progress to build a Yocto Poky build from scratch using a CROPS provided Docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/crops/poky).

This repo started from git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git (tag: yocto-3.1)

git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
git remote add joe git@github.com:jswantek/yocto_poky.git
git checkout yocto-3.1 --orphan joe_yocto-3.1
git commit
git push joe joe_yocto-3.1

Then added build.sh and Dockerfile to build the Yocto Poky in a Docker container

This demonstrates how to build a Yocto Poky OS image within a Docker container. The source code for the OS to build (i.e. the poky clone outlined above) is copied into the build container (see: Dockerfile). Demonstrating how this could be done for the ARM build and future SAGE OS builds.

Usage

No matter the method of invoking the build (manual or automatic) this will produce a finished build within the yoctobuild Docker volume.

Launch Manually

To launch build container without building (i.e. to see previously built artifacts)

./build.sh

You can manually invoke the build via

source oe-init-build-env
bitbake core-image-minimal

Auto-build

The container can auto build the OS image specified on the ./build.sh command line

./build.sh <OS image to build>

Example

./build.sh core-image-minimal

Testing

To test run the built image using qemu you can use the following command

runqemu qemux86-64

Note: you will need to execute the source oe-init-build-env to get access to the runqemu tool.
