2.4.2.4. Build History SDK Information

Build history collects similar information on the contents of SDKs (e.g., meta-toolchain or bitbake -c populate_sdk imagename) as compared to information it collects for images. The following list shows the files produced for each SDK:

Here is an example of sdk-info.txt:

     DISTRO = poky
     DISTRO_VERSION = 1.3+snapshot-20130327
     SDK_NAME = poky-eglibc-i686-arm
     SDK_VERSION = 1.3+snapshot
     SDKMACHINE =
     SDKIMAGE_FEATURES = dev-pkgs dbg-pkgs
     BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS =
     SDKSIZE = 352712
                

Other than SDKSIZE, which is the total size of the files in the SDK in Kbytes, the name-value pairs are variables that might have influenced the content of the SDK. This information is often useful when you are trying to determine why a change in the package or file listings has occurred.
