#Bitbake
Coming to yocto/bitbake when being used to #nix is... an interesting experience to say the least.

The part where I can easily imagine someone more junior than myself being led astray is when the two Web engineers were promising you could ask the agent if all these BitBake rules and recipes will all work with no conflicts, and I’m thinking, ok, I can hallucinate that it’s going to work myself

What I was trying to make sure I'd gotten right when upgrading the Linux kernel config from 5.15 to 6.18 which Yocto "simplifies" by making an entire repo of nested kernel config fragments that apply on top of each other based on BitBake environment variables. Yocto merges several layers together.

GNU software doesn’t have the best track record for backwards compatibility. I’ve had to deal with two bits of nonsense in my work project upgrading from Yocto 4.0 to 6.0. The old Yocto version won’t work on Ubuntu 24.04 or newer because GNU tar 1.35 gives weird errors in the bitbake environment.

Whatever they changed in tar might’ve been for security reasons because the latest Ubuntu 22.04 security update to tar 1.34 also has this issue, which was fixed on the Yocto/BitBake side in 5.0 (and possibly in a later 4.0 update I don’t have, idk).

The other issue was with the “efitools” recipe.

Bitbake is a huge Python-based build system used by Yocto, which is a bit like Gentoo Linux but for embedded systems. You write recipes that define variables or add custom build steps, all of which run inside the cross-build environment it sets up, with no network access unless you ask for it.

This took awhile... Anyway, I made the post. Now time for sleep.

Alternatively, you can run Yocto inside Docker using Ubuntu 22.04 as a base image. I remember someone telling me that Yocto won’t let you run it as root so you may have to create a user before you can invoke bitbake.

@jonny that sounds an awful lot like the bitbake system combining editor autosave and git autocommit that @pluralistic was using a bunch of years ago...

The schedule for the Yocto Project Summit 2025.12 is now out!

I'll be talking about the new features we've added in 2025: Configuration Fragments and the `bitbake-setup` tool. This will be a very timely talk with the 5.3 "Whinlatter" release being just around the corner […]

Parece que agora vai. Achei o problema, mas as mensagens de erro do bitbake poderiam ser mais amigáveis.

Não aguento mais o OpenEmbedded e o BitBake, sempre dão problema... Mas preciso compilar coisas pro Zipit..

Don't you use build systems like Bitbake exactly for this reason?

At what point does Github ratelimit force-push

Bitbake/Yocto build issues will drive me mad!

Fix issue, build.... breaks at location that worked fine for months and completely unrelated to fix applied. My life this week.

So I'm reading Embedded Linux System with the Yocto Project, and in it and summarizes the history. And supposedly BitBake was inspired by Gentoo ebuild and emerge.

Build Embedded Debian Web Runtime with Isar

Yocto is the go-to for embedded builds — but what if you could have BitBake flexibility plus Debian stability?

I tried it with Isar, Debian Bookworm & WPEWebKit on Raspberry Pi 5 + Intel NUC: medium.com/kodegood/bui...

Build Embedded Debian Web Runtime with the Power of Isar
When most people think about building something for embedded devices, Yocto is the first tool that comes to mind.

Wow TIL bitbake!

Ninja has good outcomes when you're not a expert makefile writer
