Bitbake and Yocto Project

Gumstix publishes several different pre-built images as well as kernel and bootloader binaries. It is also possible to build these binaries using bitbake by setting up the Yocto Project build environment. Developers who are familiar with the OpenEmbedded build system will find a lot in common between the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded, because the Yocto Project uses some of OpenEmbedded elements while improving build environment in multiple aspects.

The Yocto Project build system consists of a collection of BitBake "recipes". These recipes contain the source URL of the package, dependencies, and compile and install options. It uses the information in these recipes to track dependencies, cross-compile the package, and create binary packages. It will also create complete images including boot loaders, kernel, and root file system. As a first step the framework will build a cross-compiler toolchain for the target platform.
