Which branch for building OE? v2012.12-yocto1.3 still or v2013.06-yocto1.4?

Last time I built OE for the BBB, the recommendation was to use angstrom-v2012.12-yocto1.3 as angstrom-v2013.06-yocto1.4 didn’t compile. That was in August, now I see that there’s a angstrom-v2013.12-yocto1.5 in https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-angstrom/blob/master/README

  1. Does this mean angstrom-v2013.06-yocto1.4 is now “stable” and I should be using this?
  2. What branch was the 2013.09.04 production release built with?

Thanks!

To answer my own query, I built both and they both work. So I guess angstrom-v2013.06-yocto1.4 is “newer”.

Hi,

I’m currently building angstrom-v2012.12console-image using following commands:

  1. git clone git://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/setup-scripts.git
  2. cd setup-scripts
  3. MACHINE=beaglebone ./oebb.sh config beaglebone
  4. MACHINE=beaglebone ./oebb.sh update
  5. . ~/.oe/environment-angstromv2012.12
  6. bitbake console-image
    How does one use git to select angstrom-v2013.06. I would hope this later branch has USB driver fixes included (ie babble and hotplug).

It’s just a question of which branch you’re in, after step #2 in your list, do:

git checkout angstrom-v2013.06-yocto1.4

Then continue with step #3 onwards (step #5 will have a suffix of …2013.06 rather than 2012.12).

Thanks,

That seems to work. It will take a couple more hours to finish. Then we will start looking at exactly what has changed.

Step 5 had to be modified as the ~/.oe directory is no longer used. No big deal.
