[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] Fix bug 8940 - Alow Hob to run images on a custom simulator, other than qemu

[Mirela Rabulea]

Hi,
I have been told that Hob is deprecated and to be replaced by Toaster, still I have some changes already made on Hob, which I would like to push. Besides that, I understand that at this moment Toaster cannot run images at all, via a button push.
I would be happy if these changes make it into YP 2.1, M2 or at least M3.

The current behavior of Hob is that there is a "Run Image" button which becomes visible only for qemu images.

My suggested change is:
- if an image is selected and it is , let the "Run image" button be named "Run qemu image"
- if an image is selected and it is not qemu-compatible, let the same button show up with the name "Run custom image", and besides that, an option shows-up to allow the selection of the custom script (by default it points out to runqemu script) to be used for launching this custom image
