Intention
This page is intended to make the live of new developers easier. Feel free to add all your usual bitbake commands to this page
Start a build
To get a package build just type
bitbake foo
where foo is the name of the package without any extension or version number.
Clean up
bitbake -c clean foo
This command will clean up your tmp dir for the given package. It is very useful if you work on a new .bb recipe. Without it your changes to the recipe may not work.
Working with tmp/work
A thing you usually do not want to miss is to be able to recompile your source code if you change a line in it.
bitbake -f -c compile foo
will only recompile your source nothing else after that do a
bitbake foo
to get a new package
