Setup a cloud build

This is a quick way to have your own yocto build running within minutes. It requires a few steps:

1. setup your own repository which is internet facing. github is quite good for this.
2. adapt the build configuration files to your needs
3. update the .drone.yml to reflect your needs

GIT repository

the basic folder structure needs to contain:

/config
        /bblayers.conf.org
        /local.conf.org
/sources
        /...      

Build configuration files

The bblayers.conf.orgcontains additional sources which should be linked. The sources directory can contain either the source files directly in the corresponding subfolders or it can link submodules. They will be cloned during the build process.

Drone build automation

Drone is the build automation we chose to fetch your source code and build it using the image provided.

.drone.yml contains the build step and configuration settings required for the build.

workspace:
  base: /drone
  path: /custombuild

pipeline:
  submod:
     image: docker:git
     commands:
       - git submodule update --recursive --remote
  build:
    image: tlwt/yoctodocker:latest
    secrets: [ GITHUB_TOKEN ]
    environment:
       - GIT_EMAIL=mail@tillwitt.de
       - GIT_NAME=Till Witt
       - Y_MACHINE=imx6ulevk
       - Y_DISTRO=fsl-imx-x11
       - Y_IMAGE=core-image-base
       - GITHUB_USER=tlwt
       - GITHUB_REPO=imx-x11-imx6ulevk
