Adding the meta-google layer to your build +================================================= + +In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of +it. + +Assuming the meta-google layer exists at the top-level of your +yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the +location of the meta-google layer to bblayers.conf, along with any +other layers needed. e.g.: + + BBLAYERS ?= " \ + /path/to/yocto/meta-phosphor \ + /path/to/yocto/meta-google \ + " + + +II. Purpose +============ + +Including this layer adds the following packages to your obmc-phosphor-image: + +* google-ipmi-sys: OEM IPMI Handler for providing specific information to the host. +* phosphor-ipmi-blobs: OEM IPMI Blobs Handler for providing the framework for specific blob handlers. +* phosphor-ipmi-ethstats: OEM IPMI Handler for reporting ethernet device statistics from the BMCs ethernet devices. +* phosphor-ipmi-flash: OEM IPMI Handler for controlling in-band firmware updates. + +III. Customizations + +Presently, this layer also enables the Google Iana for registering phosphor-ipmi-ethstats in addition to the OpenBMC one. |
