YP Dependency Issues: Tools and Techniques
05-18, 17:20–18:05 (UTC), Kirkstone

Tools and Techniques to investigate and resolve build dependency issues.


Dependency issues in bitbake builds can be rare, but when they happen you need tools that are easy to access and use to resolve those issues quickly, especially when the problem appears to be a needle in a haystack.

This session will review the general subject of Yocto Project build and runtime dependencies. It will also introduce the many tools available to developers to investigate those dependencies (as computed by bitbake) to help resolve issues when those dependencies are either broken or confusing.
Finally, there will be a live demonstration of these tools to help compare and contrast the information they provide, and to show how easy they can be to use.
