4.2.2.8.1. Creating the Yocto BitBake Commander Project

To create a Yocto BitBake Commander project, follow these steps:

  1. Select "Other" from the "Window -> Open Perspective" menu and then choose "Bitbake Commander".

  2. Click "OK" to change the perspective to Bitbake Commander.

  3. Select "Project" from the "File -> New" menu to create a new Yocto Bitbake Commander project.

  4. Choose "New Yocto Project" from the "Yocto Project Bitbake Commander" menu and click "Next".

  5. Enter the Project Name and choose the Project Location. The Yocto project's Metadata files will be put under the directory <project_location>/<project_name>. If that directory does not exist, you need to check the "Clone from Yocto Git Repository" box, which would execute a git clone command to get the project's Metadata files.

  6. Select Finish to create the project.
