-====== Bitbake: making and managing recipes for CCGX ====== 
- 
-To build all the CCGX rootfs or images with all the existing recipes, see instructions here: https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/blob/master/README.  
- 
-Below guide is an introduction on how to add recipes and create/debug them. 
- 
-Start bitbake: 
-  make bb 
- 
-Build a single recipe: 
-  bitbake -b dbus-modbustcp_0.7.2.bb 
- 
-That probably didn't work, because dependencies are missing. To build the recipe including dependencies, do: 
-  bitbake dbus-modbustcp 
- 
-when changing the source code that is fetched by the recipe, make sure to do a cleanall before running the recipe again (note I changed from the dbus-modbustcp example to vrmportal: 
-  bitbake -c cleanall vrmportal 
- 
-To see what happened, and where all the source files are, see here (replace vrmportal with the recipe you are working on): 
-  /media/venusbuilds/venus/build/tmp-eglibc/work/armv7a-vfp-neon-ve-linux-gnueabi/vrmportal-0.01-r0/ 
- 
-After successfully building a package, it is somewhere in the deploy folder. In above case it is here: 
-<code> 
-matthijs@matthijs-VirtualBox:/media/venusbuilds/venus/deploy/ipk/armv7a-vfp-neon$ ls -al vrm* 
--rw-r--r-- 1 matthijs matthijs 18381088 sep 20 13:19 vrmportal_0.01-r0_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk 
--rw-r--r-- 1 matthijs matthijs      818 sep 20 13:19 vrmportal-dbg_0.01-r0_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk 
--rw-r--r-- 1 matthijs matthijs      828 sep 20 13:19 vrmportal-dev_0.01-r0_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk 
-</code> 
- 
-As you can see there is a dbg and dev as well, see internet for more explanation on those. Now, to test the package on a ccgx, copy the package to it: 
-scp vrmportal_0.01-r0_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk root@192.168.51.67:~/ 
- 
-and then login with ssh and install it: 
-  root@ccgx:~# opkg install vrmportal_0.01-r0_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk 
-   
-some more tips and trick I wish that I knew before hand: 
-  * use bitbake -k [packagename] when building packages with lots of dependencies. It will then continue instead of stopping on the first error.  
-  * after pressing ctrl-c once, wait to bitbake to finish the remaining tasks. Instead of being impatient and pressing it again immediately. It will mess up the cache causing errors on your next build. 
-  * there are several ways/levels of cleaning up: 
-    * bitbake -c clean [packagename] 
-    * bitbake -c cleansstate [packagename] 
-    * bitbake -c cleanall [packagename]   (this one also deletes downloaded sources) 
-    * and to clean everything, exit bitbake and do a make clean in the root folder of venus 
- 
-=== running local pkg repo === 
-instead of testing with manually installing a package, which is nice to test a single install, the other way to test if all the R-numbers and dependencies are done in the right way is to host them yourself.
