Hi,

As you may already know, a new GUI has been added to bitbake recently, i.e. HOB (Human Oriented Builder). It is a graphical image creator that allows user to freely choose which packages to be built in the image. The wiki https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/BitBake/GUI/Hob has more detail.

This email is to collect your feedback on the HOB. Current HOB is our first version, and it surely has many place to improve. We has the plan to enhance it in Yocto 1.2. So we really hope that you can use it and provide your valuable feedback . We do think user's feedback/requirement is the right way to go. Looking forward your valuable input.

Best Regards
Ke

Ps. The simple way to run hob is:

# touch conf/hob-pre.conf conf/hob-post.conf
# bitbake -u hob -r conf/hob-pre.conf -R conf/hob-post.conf

Where conf/hob-pre.conf conf/hob-post.conf is the configuration file, which can be empty in above case.

Hi,

It's not really an acronym, it's just a name - Hob.

In oe-core (and therefore Poky) we have a wrapper script so from an oe-init-build-env'd build directory you can just call hob.

The script will create the required configuration files with some required values.

We do use local.conf in that if values are set there and not in either of the hob configuration files the values from local.conf are used however I had an explicit feature request to not modify local.conf.

I actually started looking at having Hob use an independent configuration file so that Hob settings would persist across build directories, this didn't make it in the 1.1 time frame unfortunately.

In the past it would ignore DISTRO, leading to much headscratching

Yes, this is valid. We should be able to use local.conf as pre and post conf file, if they are not specified by user. Thanks for the input. I will add it to my plan.

I'm not sure we should promise that - the plan, per bug #1441 (and as alluded to earlier) is to have the configuration be independent of BitBake and persistent to the UI (i.e. hob configuration is the same even if I launch it from a clean build dir).

This isn't a mandate but we should certainly weigh up the pro's and con's of either side before we propose which one to implement.

Has any discussion gone into making some sort of plugin or extensions? I'd like for it to be as easy as possible for someone new to make hob be able to some things like: configure runtime services, configure networking settings, add users, and I'm sure there are other things.

No such discussion has occurred. These are good feature suggestions, though I'm not sure about a plugin mechanism - are you suggesting that to enable the features mentioned or in addition to?
At least for enabling runtime services there's likely an issue of the GUI having enough knowledge of the init system to do so.

I can certainly see at least the three features proposed here being desirable and I'll probably file those as feature enhancements in the bugzilla, unless you'd like to?

Any further thoughts on customisations to enable via the GUI?

I'd just like to be able to make these extensions/add-ons while not being familiar with bitbake internals. Maybe by INHERIT'ing bbclasses? It just seems like adding some configuration pane for configuring ip addresses should be as easy and possible.

Is there a way I can filter out some of the base images? tasks?

Gary, thanks for trying and giving out the input. It is helpful.

For the base image list, HOB generate it by searching all the task whose name containing "image", and we plan to improve it in Yocto 1.2 by searching task who inherits image.bbclass.

So currently, if you name your own image with XXX-image, HOB should be able to automatically add it in the drop-down list.

And yes, it is helpful to allow user adding item into base image list. it can be done by adding one item in "Edit"->"Preference". I will add this requirement to my plan. For base image filtering, I am not sure if it is necessary, since base image list is not that long. How do you think?

Ke

It would be nice to have a way to filter out images too. In case we're customizing oe-core to a customer we might want to reduce the options to avoid unsupported images to be built.

So currently, if you name your own image with XXX-image, HOB should be able to automatically add it in the drop-down list.

And yes, it is helpful to allow user adding item into base image list. it can be done by adding one item in "Edit"->"Preference". I will add this requirement to my plan. For base image filtering, I am not sure if it is necessary, since base image list is not that long. How do you think?

It would be nice to have a way to filter out images too. In case we're customizing oe-core to a customer we might want to reduce the options to avoid unsupported images to be built.

Like a whitelist regexp on hob.conf
