After you create the Yocto Bitbake Commander project, you
can modify the Metadata
files by opening them in the project.
When editing recipe files (.bb
files),
you can view BitBake variable values and information by
hovering the mouse pointer over the variable name and
waiting a few seconds.
To edit the Metadata, follow these steps:
Select your Yocto Bitbake Commander project.
Select "BitBake Recipe" from the "File -> New -> Yocto BitBake Commander" menu to open a new recipe wizard.
Point to your source by filling in the "SRC_URL" field. For example, you can add a recipe to your Source Directory by defining "SRC_URL" as follows:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.9.tar.gz
Click "Populate" to calculate the archive md5, sha256, license checksum values and to auto-generate the recipe filename.
Fill in the "Description" field.
Be sure values for all required fields exist.
Click "Finish".
