oe-made-easy and Getting Started

oe-made-easy and Getting Started

[Lloyd Chang]

Hello fellow openembedded-devel members!


I'm sharing because you may find this useful -- especially newcomers
to our OE-Core.  In my personal efforts in condensing our Getting
Started documentation succinctly, I codified it into one line:


    git clone git://github.com/lloydchang/oe-made-easy.git;
./oe-made-easy/core-image-minimal


User interface design wise, my intent of this one liner is to allow
everyone getting started to easily bootstrap core-image-minimal onto
various computers (before diving into details).  If our community
consensus finds oe-made-easy useful, please let me know and I'll start
updating our openembedded.org wiki pages to reference this one liner
or equivalent.


And if you personally find oe-made-easy useful, feel free to test it
further, fork it and/or send me pull requests via
https://github.com/lloydchang/oe-made-easy

(for now, oe-made-easy is defaulting to qemux86_64, qemux86 and qemuarm targets)


Your feedback is greatly appreciated!


Thanks :-)

Lloyd

Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier. Clearly our docs still need improvement 
here, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable with having this script right up-
front in our getting started documentation as it is now, particularly as it's 
not part of OE-Core itself. There is a canonical method for getting started, 
it's a simple set of steps anyone should be able to follow; various frontend 
scripts around but I don't think they really belong in the OE instructions in 
this manner unless they're actually part of OE-Core.

Cheers,
Paul
