Before you can do any kernel development, you need to be
sure your build host is set up to use the Yocto Project.
For information on how to get set up, see the
"Preparing the Build Host"
section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
Part of preparing the system is creating a local Git
repository of the
Source Directory
(poky
) on your system.
Follow the steps in the
"Cloning the poky
Repository"
section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual to set up your
Source Directory.
Kernel development is best accomplished using
devtool
and not through traditional kernel workflow methods.
The remainder of this section provides information for both
scenarios.
