use kas as a developer

[nicola-lunghi]

Hi, I am using meta-raspberrypi that is using kas. 1) I need to add a layer to the build and modify the kas file how can I do that without modifying the yaml file in meta-raspberrypy? 2) as a developer I need to run a lot of bitbake commands is possible to launch the shell?

Hi @nicola-lunghi ,

1. I need to add a layer to the build and modify the kas file how can I do that without modifying the yaml file in meta-raspberrypy?

The kas file in meta-raspberrypi is just a minimal example to work with kas, but you can override it, see [1] and [2]. For further examples, you can check my dedicated repo with some kas files ;) [3]

2. as a developer I need to run a lot of bitbake commands is possible to launch the shell?

Yes, you can do that with:

kas shell kas-files/kas-poky.yml:kas-files/board-raspberrypi3.yml -c "bitbake foo"

or

kas-docker shell kas-files/kas-poky.yml:kas-files/board-raspberrypi3.yml -c "bitbake foo"

If you use kas-docker.

FYI, this project does not use issues, please use the mailing-list instead kas-devel@googlegroups.com

Thanks! I'll have a look at the kas-files project

Looks like it was solved.
