Internals of shared state cache
bitbake-dumpsig, bitbake-diffsigs

Requirements
Development machine with internet connection
Should have completed Embedded Linux Using Yocto Part 3 Course

Description
Learn the below concepts by enrolling in this course

What is clean build

What is incremental build

Example of clean and incremental build

Shared State Cache (sstate-cache)

Build performance with and without sstate-cache

Tasks in Yocto

What's the benefit of per-task over per-recipe approach

How does shared state cache works (checksum/signatures and setscene)

Commands: bitbake-dumpsig, bitbake-diffsigs

SSTATE_DIR variable

Bitbake Clean tasks: clean, cleanall, cleansstate

What happens when you say bitbake target

PROVIDES list and what's the benefit of PROVIDES list

Bitbake namespaces: recipe names (build time targets) and package names (run time targets)

RPROVIDES , virtual targets and PREFERRED_PROVIDER

How to select a recipe when multiple recipe of same name and different version exists

Yocto Linux Kernel Development (kernel source, configuration, patches)

Linux Kernel Recipes in Yocto (PREFERRED_PROVIDER/PREFERRED_VERSION)

Creating a new kernel recipe in Yocto

Kernel customizations (changing kernel configuration - savedefconfig)

Kernel recipe with source code on git repository

Patching the Linux Kernel

Yocto Linux Kernel Recipes

Modifying an existing kernel recipe (configuration fragments, patch, diffconfig, LINUX_VERSION_EXTENSION)

Using an in-tree defconfig file (KBUILD_DEFCONFIG_KMACHINE)

Difference between general kernel and yocto kernel repository

What is Package group

Difference between package group recipes and normal recipes

Writing a package group recipe (RDEPENDS, RRECOMMENDS, BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS, NO_RECCOMENDS, PACKAGE_EXCLUDE)

Recipes for out of tree modules (module.bbclass)

Automatically load modules on boot
