Bitbake备忘录

命令行选项

以下是一些常用的命令行选项。

Option	Meaning
-c <task>	execute <task> for the image or recipe being built. ex: bitbake -c fetch busybox. Some of the possible tasks are: fetch, configure, compile, package, clean
-f	force execution of the operation, even if not required
-v	show verbose output
-DDD	show lots of debug information
-s	show recipe version information
--help	get usage help
-c listtasks <image-or-recipe-name>	show the tasks associated with an image or individual recipe
-g <recipe>	output dependency tree in graphviz format

用户界面
Bitbake可以与几个不同的用户界面一起使用。 以下是一些选项：

User interface	Type	NOTES
bitbake <recipe-or-image> or "bitbake -u knotty <recipe-or-image>"	scrolling text interface	This is the default user interface
bitbake -u ncurses <recipe-or-image>	text-window based interface	I couldn't figure out how to control or exit this interface
bitbake -u hob	graphical interface	This is a full graphical interface which includes selecting machine, distro, etc. and performing a build
bitbake -u goggle <recipe-or-image>	simple graphical interface	This is a simple graphical wrapper over the streaming text output of bitbake. It's nice in that it shows collapsible trees for the logs for sub-tasks for each recipe.

.bb文件语法
该表列出了在配方（.bb）文件中找到的一些语法。

Syntax	Meaning	NOTES
VAR = "foo"	simple assignment
VAR ?= "foo"	assign if no other value is already assigned (default assignment)
VAR ??=foo	weak default assignment	takes lower precedence than ?=
VAR = "stuff ${OTHER_VAR} more"	variable expansion	OTHER_VAR expanded at time of reference to VAR
VAR := "stuff ${OTHER_VAR} more"	immediate variable expansion	OTHER_VAR expanded at time of parsing this line
VAR += "foo"	append with space
VAR =+ "foo"	prepend with space
VAR .= "foo"	append without space
VAR =. "foo"	prepend without space
VAR_append = "foo"	append without space
OVERRIDES="string1:string2" VAR = "foo" VAR_string1 = "bar"	alternate/override value	if string1 is listed in OVERRIDES, use "bar" for value of VAR, otherwise use "foo"
OVERRIDES="string1:string2" VAR = "foo" VAR_append_string1 = " bar"	conditional append	if string1 is in OVERRIDES, then append " bar" to the value of VAR
BBVERSIONS="1.0 1.8 string" VAR="foo" VAR_string="bar"	range-specific conditional	If the version of the package is in the specified range (1.0-1.8 in this example), then perform an override on the indicated variable
VAR = "foo ${@<line-of-python-code>}"	python code expansion	ex: VAR = "the date is: ${@time.strftime(’%Y%m%d’,time.gmtime())}"
include foo	include file	include file named "foo", search BBPATH
require [<path>]foo	require file	include file named "foo", failing if not found exactly where specified
inherit foo	inherit classes	include definitions from foo.bbclass
do_sometask() { <shell code> }	define a task using shell code
python do_sometask { <python code> }	define a task using python code
addtask sometask (before|after) other_task	add a task	adds a defined task to the list of tasks, with the ordering specified. Zero or more 'before' or 'after' clauses can be used.
VAR[some_flag]="foo"	associate a subsidiary flag value to a variable	a few subsidiary flag value names are well-defined: "dirs", "cleandirs", "noexec", "nostamp", "fakeroot", "umask", "deptask", "rdeptask", "recdeptask", "recrdeptask" Flag values appear to be used exclusively with task definitions (i.e. do_sometask)
inherit externalsrc EXTERNALSRC = "/some/path" # EXTERNALSRC_BUILD = "/some/path"	Fetch source from /some/path	You can place this at the bottom of a .bb or .bbappend file to override where the source will be fetched from. This is very convenient if you are currently working on the source code. Depending on the type of build (eg, 'inherit module' for out of tree Linux kernel modules) you may or may not need to set EXTERNALSRC_BUILD.
