docker-yocto

About

This is an updated fork of this repository

It contains a Dockerfile to generate a docker image that I use for building the yocto images.

I use the script yocto-build.sh to switch yocto building environment so I can use docker to build the Yocto project instead of install a ubuntu as VM.

Setting up

First download the yocto-build.sh as ~/bin/yocto-build

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/D0tty/docker-yocto/master/yocto-build.sh > ./yocto-build
sudo mv yocto-build /bin/yocto-build
sudo chmod +x ~/bin/yocto-build

Basic Usage

The first time you need to specify a working directory.

For example, if I want to build yocto at /home/dotty/school/lirt/poky then:

yocto-build --workdir /home/dotty/school/lirt/poky /home/dotty/school/lirt/sdk

If you have a look at the script, this command will create a new container with the working directory mounted as a volume in /yocto and you will be in the context of the started container.

You can pass an optional argument to specify a sdk directory to the container. This directory will be mounted in /opt/poky inside the container

Resume a stoped configured container

If you want to resume (restart) a previously configured container you can use

yocto-build --resume

Spawn a new shell

If you want to spawn a new shell in another terminal, you can use

yocto-build --shell

Remove the container

This script only support ONLY ONE CONTAINER, so If you want to change the working directory, you should remove it first, remove a container is easy, just use following command:

yocto-build --rm

Upgrade script

Upgrade this script is easy, just type

yocto-build --upgrade

Pull new docker container

To pull new docker image, just type

yocto-build --pull

Todo

• Add a new mount option for the Xenomai SDK
