Building the Poky image

At this stage of development, let's have a look at the available images and certified compatible for our platform (.bb files).

Choice of image

Poky provides several pre-designed image recipes that we can use to build our own binary image. We can check the list of available images by running the following command from the poky directory:

$ ls meta*/recipes*/images/*.bb

All the recipes provide images that are, in essence, sets of unpacked and configured packages, generating a filesystem that we can use on actual hardware (for further information about different images, you can visit ( http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#ref-images ).

Next, here's a brief representation of available images:

We can add the layers proposed by meta-raspberry to all of these layers:

$ ls meta-raspberrypi/recipes-core/images/*.bb
rpi-basic-image.bb
rpi-hwup-image.bb
rpi-test-image.bb

• rpi-hwup-image.bb: This is an image based on core-image-minimal.
• rpi...
