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.
