Using the Yocto Autobuilder for Build and Release Management
Talkat Embedded Linux Conference + OpenIoT Summit North America 2017 · on Wednesday, 2017-02-22· at 14:00· Broadway III/IV·
summary
Uses Yocto Autobuilder (a Buildbot-based CI) to manage layer checkout, builds and releases, with one controller and one worker for the product, plus jobs: nightly fetch-all, QEMU x86 sanity, master and stable branch builds, and an RPM build triggered by a git-poller. Implements a release-script generator that tags repos, a custom publish artifacts syntek step to export kernel, u-boot, DTB and rootfs, and a pre-mirror for sstate and downloads plus SSTATE cleanup, build-history tracking, PR server use, and QEMU-based runtime tests.
