Brian,

Yes the meta-intel x86-64 should work.  I wouldn't count on the infrared working out of the box though.  Chances are getting the appropriated graphics drivers to work with Yocto will also be difficult and probably won't work out of the box.  All the NUC's peripherals might work if you install Ubuntu - but I'd even give that a 40% chance of failing to support everything you need for your home theater computer.

If this is your first go at Yocto, I'd try getting the build system to run on an older x86 computer that you're not interested in using as your home theater PC.  Otherwise you're going to probably get frustrated if/when Yocto doesn't totally support the NUC...

But if you're not planning on this being a home theater PC, by all means, have at it!  If Yocto has issues now, many of them will get fixed eventually as more of the NUC devices come online.

Just my 2 cents.

~Andy Gikling

Running that scripts will start the server at the default port of 12345 and setup the default "build" directory.

Yes, running the script with a port number will start the server using that port number.

The bitbake -m command will Stop the server.

  i suspected as much, but the way that section is worded, that isn't clear. thanks.

Hover content assist works for me with .bb files, but not .bbappend files under Eclipse with bitbake commander plugin. Should it?

I would like to get my feet wet with this thing. I am thinking of purchasing this nuc ...

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-d34010wyk.html

Can I use the the standard x86-64 BSP to get it working? What about the infrared sensor etc. Does that require further customization to get working?

thnx

Brian

Was struggling with the documentation on making chages to the config file used by the raspberrypi linux kernel. I'd got my own layer with a two line append file:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}"
KERNEL_DEFCONFIG = "defconfig"

I'd got my defconfig config file into the directory structure under my layer. 

.
??? conf
??? ??? layer.conf
??? recipes-kernel
    ??? linux
        ??? linux-raspberrypi
        ??? ??? defconfig
        ??? linux-raspberrypi_3.6.11.bbappend.jfw


So all looked good to me thankfully "<kergoth>" on the #yocto IRC Channel pointed me to bitbake -e linux-raspberrypi and I was able to check stuff out. Took me a while but I eventually found the problem.

The origional recipe "linux-raspberrypi_3.6.11.bb" contains the lines:

do_configure_prepend() {
	install -m 0644 ${S}/arch/${ARCH}/configs/${KERNEL_DEFCONFIG} ${WORKDIR}/defconfig || die "No default configuration for ${MACHINE} / ${KERNEL_DEFCONFIG} available."
}

So even though my append is changing the FILESEXTRAPATHS and KERNEL_DEFCONFIG values it makes no difference at all. Well luckily I did manage to change the name of KERNEL_DEFCONFIG so when the above "install" command was executed it produced errors all over the place. If that hadn't happened I'd have got a kernel with none of my changes and there'd have been naughty words.

So given that the text book approach to making changes to the kernel, outlined in section "2.2.1. Creating the Append File" of the Linux Kernel Development Manual has been subverted. How do I change the kernel config?

Can I do my own do_configure_prepend() in my bbappend to prepend the recipe's do_configure_prepend() and get my config file into the place it's going to install from? That sounds really messy to me but I'm new.

That seems the only alternative short of re-writing the linux-raspberrypi recipe which doesn't sound too good either.

If somebody could point me in the right direction on how to make changes to the kernel in this case I'd be very grateful.

Thanks a million for any advice.

                                              there should be a ":"

For the NUC i3 4th Generation, I would use the 4th Generation BSP:
