Overview

Yocto build environment

Setup

It is expected that YOCTO_WORKDIR be set to your YOCTO src/working directory. This directoy will be volume mounted to the docker container, and act as a 'share' between the two.

This should probably be a separate, large, storage device.

I recommend setting this permanently via ~/.bashrc:

export YOCTO_WORKDIR="/your/yocto/working/dir"

Build

sudo docker build --build-arg "host_uid=$(id -u)" \
                  --build-arg "host_gid=$(id -g)" \
                  -f Dockerfile                   \
                  -t yocto-builder .

Run

export YOCTO_WORKDIR="/your/yocto/working/dir"

sudo docker run   --rm -it                                 \
                  --privileged                             \
                  --volume /dev:/dev                       \
                  --volume /run:/run                       \
                  --volume $YOCTO_WORKDIR:"$YOCTO_WORKDIR" \
                  --env     YOCTO_WORKDIR="$YOCTO_WORKDIR" \
                  yocto-builder
