This uses the kconfiglib python module to implement simple interactive configuration for complex layers with many kas options and even variable input. See the menu.py documentation header for details on the Kconfig format and its translation to kas. Rather than using the limited menuconfig implementation of kconfiglib, this comes with an own, python-newt based version. The permits smooth integration in the workflow, e.g. to offer an option that directly triggers a build after completing a configuration. And it comes with a nicer layout. Unfortunately, python-newt can't be fulfilled via pip. But it is available as proper package via common distros. So warn if the package is missing. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>
Setup tool for bitbake based projects ===================================== +--------------------+ | Build Status | +====================+ | |workflow-master|_ | +--------------------+ | |workflow-next|_ | +--------------------+ .. |workflow-master| image:: https://github.com/siemens/kas/workflows/master/badge.svg .. _workflow-master: https://github.com/siemens/kas/actions?query=workflow%3Amaster .. |workflow-next| image:: https://github.com/siemens/kas/workflows/next/badge.svg .. _workflow-next: https://github.com/siemens/kas/actions?query=workflow%3Anext This tool provides an easy mechanism to setup bitbake based projects. The OpenEmbedded tooling support starts at step 2 with bitbake. The downloading of sources and then configuration has to be done by hand. Usually, this is explained in a README. Instead kas is using a project configuration file and does the download and configuration phase. Key features provided by the build tool: - clone and checkout bitbake layers - create default bitbake settings (machine, arch, ...) - launch minimal build environment, reducing risk of host contamination - initiate bitbake build process See the `kas documentation <https://kas.readthedocs.io>`_ for further details.
