LOEB

The Linaro OpenEmbedded Builder aims to simplify the building of OE images, with the specific changes that the different stages of the CI pipeline requires.

Quickstart

mkdir lkft-1234
cd lkft-1234
loeb init
loeb apply lkft
loeb env
bitbake rpb-console-image

More-common-start

mkdir lkft-1235
cd lkft-1235
loeb copyconfig https://ci.linaro.org/job/openembedded-lkft-linux-mainline/818/DISTRO=rpb,MACHINE=hikey,label=docker-stretch-amd64
loeb init
loeb apply lkft
ln -s ../oe-downloads downloads
ln -s ../oe-sstate-cache sstate-cache
loeb env
bitbake rpb-console-image

Update Git repositories

loeb save
repo sync
loeb restore

Notes

• The configuration file is .loeb.config in the root directory of the builds. See what's in it.
• To exit the loeb environment, just exit from the shell.
• Requires xpath (libxml-xpath-perl in Debian) for loeb copyconfig.
• loeb reset will git-reset all repos and will wipe out the build directory.
