How to change custom target to default boot target in yocto? - yocto

We are currently using yocto and systemd (dunfell). How can I change the default boot target during buildtime to custom.target

In your image recipe add following line:
SYSTEMD_DEFAULT_TARGET = "custom.target"

Regarding bitbake recipie

What changes should make to enable dlt-system.
In build folder dlt-system application is not generating.
Manually by using command: cmake -D with dlt-system=ON it will generate but I need to generate while building please look at recipie image
Your recipe supports dlt-system via PACKAGECONFIG.
In order to activate that flags in the compilation process, you just need to add dlt-system to PACKAGECONFIG in .bb or .bbappend file to the recipe:
PACKAGECONFIG_append = " dlt-system"
If you want to add it from local.conf:
PACKAGECONFIG_pn-name_append = " dlt-system"
Just change name with your recipe name.
This will add -DWITH_DLT_SYSTEM=ON to EXTRA_OECMAKE which is used in do_configure of the cmake class.

Does a recipe provided as DEPENDS can have own do_install() in yocto?

I am trying to build a custom recipe with Yocto (Rocko) for my Linux i.MX6 based embedded system.
The main recipe had dependency on a other custom recipe(as the main recipe is using header-files from this recipe) which is also creating some binaries which needs to be included in the final image.
I have added other_recipe(nbdkit) in the "DEPENDS" of main_recipe.bb
DEPENDS += "nbdkit"
the main recipe is creating a .so with the help of its own source file which is including header-files from the 'kit' recipe. I am able to install the binaries & .so generated using this main_recipe by adding it in do_install().
Now in the other_recipe(nbdkit http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-networking/recipes-support/nbdkit/nbdkit_git.bb?h=master), When I add do_install()to include the binaries generated from that recipe the main_recipe build gets failed with PKG_CONFIG error as follow,
| Package nbdkit was not found in the pkg-config search path.
| Perhaps you should add the directory containing `nbdkit.pc'
| to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
| No package 'nbdkit' found
Other build errors says that the header-files of kit included in the main_recipe is not found.
app-nbdkit-plugin.c:2:10: fatal error: nbdkit-plugin.h: No such file or directory
Where app-nbdkit-plugin.c is source file of main_recipe & kit-plugin.h is header file of other_recipe.
The strange thing is, when I remove do_install() from other_recipe(nbdkit) the main_recipe is getting built successfully.
Now I doubt, Is it possible to set a recipe as DEPENDS of other recipe and at the same time it provides output file as do_install()?
Will sharing header-files from other_recipe to main_recipe resolves the issue? If yes, how to do that?
Thanks.
[EDIT] Added nbdkit recipe link.

How can I add boot jar location in the device tree?

I have the mediatek-common.jar. I need to write a makefile to put the bootjar so that the following doesn't occur.
FAILED: ninja: 'out/soong/missing', needed by 'out/soong/ra6/dex_bootjars_input/
mediatek-common.jar', missing and no known rule to make it
12:28:59 ninja failed with: exit status 1
I have tried PRODUCT_COPY but still it says out/soong/missing is needed
In android 10,if you want to add boot jar,java lib must be source file not ".jar",and make sure your target java lib's Android.bp have this statement:installable: true

Building a yocto image for RPi3

Recently I started with yocto-project to build images for raspberry-pi.
I cloned poky and meta-raspberrypi under a directory named as yocto_project on my ubuntu host. Initiated the build using source oe-init-build-env rpi-build.
The first image I created the rpi-basic-image which was a successful attempt.
Upon booting RPi with the image I got a CLI based interface, but the problem is few commands are missing. Came to know by-default all the packages didn't get combine with image, we need to add it manually for example systemd.
If I run bitbake-layers show-recipes I get long list of all the recipes available for RPi. So I added the text IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " systemd" after reading some documents online to append systemd. After this when I bitbake rpi-basic-image got error as ERROR: Nothing RPOVIDES 'systemd' (but /path_to/rpi-basic-image.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
ERROR: systemd was skipped: 'systemd' not in DISTRO_FEATURES
ERROR: Required build target 'rpi-basic-image' has no buildable providers
Don't have clue, why I get this error. How to resolve it. Also do I have to manually add those packages/recipes using build/local.conf to get all the commands.
Need a good explanation/guidance .
From Selecting an Initialization Manager - Yocto Development Manual:
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
You can set those variables in your local.conf.

How to enable a package in yocto?

I am new to yocto and I was using openWRT earlier. I want to enable dropbear with the core-image-minimal. How to do this?
I have dropbear bb file in sources/poky/meta/recipies-core/dropbear and sources/poky/meta/recipes-core/packagegroups.
I tried appending the packagegroup-core-ssh-dropbear.bb to the IMAGE_INSTALL in sources/poky/meta/recepies-core/image/core-image-minimal.bb and this throws error Nothing provides dropbear.
How to enable this?. Don't we have a menuconfig or equivalent to enable a package/recipe?
Simply add the following
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "dropbear"
to your image recipe
