Major layout change to the packages directory

2010-08-27T14:29:45Z

Having one monolithic packages directory makes it hard to find things and is generally overwhelming. This commit splits it into several logical sections roughly based on function, recipes.txt gives more information about the classifications used. The opportunity is also used to switch from "packages" to "recipes" as used in OpenEmbedded as the term "packages" can be confusing to people and has many different meanings. Not all recipes have been classified yet, this is just a first pass at separating things out. Some packages are moved to meta-extras as they're no longer actively used or maintained.

qemu: On some older machines SDL is available

2010-08-26T21:30:36Z

On some older machines SDL is available, even if a pkgconfig file for SDL is not there. (See RHEL5.1) Extend the check, to see if the primary SDL header is there, if the pkgconfig check fails. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle

runqemu-nfs: boot QEMU using nfsroot and local unfs export

2010-08-20T15:20:11Z

This script automates the booting of QEMU using an nfsroot exported by our userspace NFS tools. The rootfs should be created using poky-extract-sdk. Signed-off-by: Scott Garman

poky-export-rootfs: script for exporting userspace nfsroots

2010-08-20T15:20:11Z

This script automates the exporting of a root filesystem (created with the poky-extract-sdk utility) using pseudo and the native userspace NFS server. That filesystem can then be booted using nfsroot with either QEMU or the target hardware using one of our kernels. Signed-off-by: Scott Garman

poky-extract-sdk: script for extracting sdk images using pseudo

2010-08-20T15:20:11Z

This script automates the creation of a rootfs area using pseudo so it can be used by a QEMU nfsroot boot. Signed-off-by: Scott Garman

poky-find-native-sysroot: helper script for locating the native sysroot path

2010-08-20T15:20:10Z

Various poky scripts make use of binaries from the native sysroot. This helper script can be used to reduce code duplication, and sets up some environment variables you can use to identify and obtain the correct filesystem path to the native sysroot. It works for both in-tree Poky setups as well as toolchain installations. Signed-off-by: Scott Garman

tunctl: Added an tunctl which supports TUNSETGROUP

2010-08-20T15:20:09Z

TUNSETGROUP is needed in order to preconfigure a set of tap devices that can be used by non-root users. The requirement is that the qemu users be members of whatever group the tap devices are assigned to. Include tunctl in the qemu-helper package, and add a -native version.

Enable build dir outside of the poky directory

2010-07-21T14:39:53Z

You need to first set up the build directory by sourcing the poky build script, after that builds can be run in that directory so long as bitbake is in $PATH removing the need to source the init script for each build. i.e: $ . poky-init-build-env ~/my-build $ bitbake some-image <> $ cd ~/my-build $ export PATH=/path/to/bitbake/bin:$PATH $ bitbake an-image This patch also removes use of OEROOT in recipes, etc. Signed-off-by: Joshua Lock

qemu-native/powerpc: add qemu 0.12.4 powerpc support

2010-07-15T10:19:01Z

In order to force 0.12.4 to allow a powerpc system boot, we need a patch to qemu, and a new powerpc (not ppc) ROM. This configuration supports non-graphical booting only, since the ROM does not have support to pass a graphics device via the device tree yet. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

qemu: fix VMware VGA depth calculation error

2010-06-29T11:34:38Z

VMware SVGA presents to the guest with the depth of the host surface it renders to, and rejects to work if the two sides are mismatched. One problem is that current VMware VGA may calculate a wrong host depth, and then memcpy from virtual framebuffer to host surface may trigger segmentation fault. For example, when launching Qemu in a VNC connection, VMware SVGA thinks depth as '32', however the actual depth of VNC is '16'. The fault also happens when the host depth is not 32 bit. Qemu <4b5db3749c5fdba93e1ac0e8748c9a9a1064319f> tempts to fix a similar issue, by changing from hard-coded 24bit depth to instead query the surface allocator (e.g. sdl). However it doesn't really work, because the point where query is invoked is earlier than the point where sdl is initialized. At query time, qemu uses a default surface allocator which, again, provides another hard-coded depth value - 32bit. So it happens to make VMware SVGA working on some hosts, but still fails in others. To solve this issue, this commit introduces a postcall interface to display surface, which is walked after surface allocators are actually initialized. At that point it's then safe to query host depth and present to the guest. Signed-off-by Kevin Tian
