Top level repo for TBS A711 reference build system

This repository holds some configuration, helper scripts and OpenEmbedded layers (as submodules).

First time setup

1. git clone -b pyro --recurse-submodules https://github.com/tbs-biometrics/oe-a711.git
2. cd oe-a711/build/conf
3. Create your local.conf.<USER>_<HOSTNAME> (that format of the name isn't required). You can base it on local.conf.tom_tomas. Edit mainly DL_DIR, SSTATE_DIR and remove SOURCE_MIRROR_URL.
4. ln -s local.conf.<YOUR_SUFFIX> local.conf
5. That's all. Continue to the next section.

Setup for a build

1. Go to the top level directory: cd oe-711
2. Source environment: . ./setup.sh
3. You can start any build now: bitbake <RECIPE/TARGET>
