**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 16 03:00:00 2012 Sep 16 10:08:57 where can i choose my board architecture in local.conf file Sep 16 10:21:39 vlrk: generally that is done from the machine configuration file Sep 16 10:25:48 bluelightning: which is that file Sep 16 10:26:02 let's take i want get a image for i686 Sep 16 10:26:08 where should i change Sep 16 10:26:23 for openjdk .. Sep 16 10:26:25 vlrk: ok, you would probably create a new machine configuration file in conf/machine Sep 16 10:26:40 look at some of the others for examples Sep 16 10:27:23 ok... Sep 16 10:28:05 currently i donot find any machine file in my conf directory Sep 16 10:28:11 there are only bitbake.conf and local.conf Sep 16 10:28:12 files Sep 16 10:28:13 I mean under meta/ Sep 16 10:28:53 btw if you just want to build openjdk for your host machine you can just build openjdk-native... Sep 16 10:29:17 before that there used to be parameter in local.conf file as MACHINE= Sep 16 10:29:43 no i donot want build for native i want to build it for one of the i686 board Sep 16 10:29:59 by the by is there any difference between i686 and x86..? Sep 16 10:31:12 well yes there is... what is the context? Sep 16 10:31:58 vlrk: MACHINE= is still used, that specifies which file in conf/machine/ is used as it always did before Sep 16 10:41:09 bluelightning: iam trying with meta-java for openjdk-6 Sep 16 10:41:23 in my oe-core/meta-java/conf Sep 16 10:41:45 i could not find the machine directory should create and copy the machine file Sep 16 10:42:38 vlrk: no, there wouldn't be any machine configuration files in meta-java, that's not a machine layer Sep 16 10:46:13 bluelightning: so where should that files be existing..? Sep 16 10:46:38 to do it properly you would create your own layer Sep 16 10:47:16 temporarily though it can appear in meta/conf/machine (from OE-Core) Sep 16 10:48:13 bluelightning: i think i need to read some documentation related to new OE ... previously i used to get the openjdk through oe very very easily now iam seeing lot of issues Sep 16 10:51:31 the yocto project documentation is the most up-to-date documentation available covering OE-Core Sep 16 10:51:40 http://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation Sep 16 10:51:58 specifically the BSP documentation may help you with creating a new machine configuration Sep 16 15:26:53 Hello ... Sep 16 15:27:22 I am creating a layer and want it to add some mirrors on the mirror list Sep 16 15:27:40 How I can do it without forking oe-core? Sep 16 16:22:41 hmmm Sep 16 16:30:40 something is foul in libffi land Sep 16 18:05:39 hello Sep 16 18:07:33 i would like some big picture questions answered on my way to learning to write embedded linux kernal drivers Sep 16 18:11:46 There are dozens of distributions out there, each offering a number of choices for the command line interface as well as a gui Sep 16 18:13:18 Some CLIs or Shells are Bash or Bourne, and some Guis are GNOME KDE and LXDE as well as others Sep 16 18:14:11 is this about right so far? Sep 16 18:46:37 e_spin: while this may be right it has /zero/ to do with kernel level work Sep 16 19:33:49 Yes dm8tbr, in fact I think I understand I could have done the work in the windows environment that I am some accustom to , but understanding the whats common about linux distributions seemed like a good placee to start Sep 16 19:34:44 building a kernel on windows - I don't think so Sep 16 19:35:45 you need a linux environment to build a kernel for an embedded device Sep 16 19:36:07 perhaps not, but in any case working in the native enviroment seemed like a good choice so, here I am. Sep 16 19:37:18 Have you written a kernel for an embedded device/ Sep 16 19:38:42 Maybe what I meant was, what can you tell me a a tool chain? Sep 16 19:38:51 gcc Sep 16 19:38:53 easy Sep 16 19:39:25 gcc =gnu tools/ Sep 16 19:40:17 yes Sep 16 19:40:25 do you not want to use GNU? Sep 16 19:40:41 cause if you don't you're gonna have a bad day Sep 16 19:41:23 No, I don't know what to use,lol Sep 16 19:43:20 I only have two pieces of hardware, raspberry pi (b) ans several DDWRT routers that Igot from tmobile, but not schematics for the latter Sep 16 19:48:04 as far as bootloaders go, is grub the answer? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Sep 17 02:59:59 2012
