Draft Roadmap

Documentation

The documentation is available directly on github.

Here is the main documentation to build a SEAPATH image: https://github.com/seapath/yocto-bsp/blob/master/README.adoc

Build machine

The Yocto project requires a powerful Linux based machine.

In order to build efficiently the SEAPATH project, we recommend not to use Virtual Machine. The Yocto project will ensure to multi-thread your build, so try to use a build machine with many CPU cores.

Here is a discussion on the Yocto Project mailing list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/72047879#48815

Here is for instance, a build configuration (~1500 euros) used:

Tips for building

About 250GB is needed for building SEAPATH.

A USB aatached storage may be too slow to be practical for a succesfull build.

Ensure you use an ext 2/ ext3 / ext4 filesystem for the build directory. NTFS will not work.

Watch out with only manually deleting the /tmp/work directory. Instead delete the whole tmp directory.

When deleting the tmp, it may take a very long time, and might cause rm -rf to fail with an error. find . -delete will work better, as it will not try to index all files before deleting them.
