Running Specific Commands

To run a specific bitbake command, use the -c option followed by the command:

Terminal window
$ bitbake -c compile

-c can be followed with things such as:

  • fetch
  • coinfigure
  • compile
  • package
  • clean

To force a bitbake command, use the -f option:

Terminal window
$ bitbake -f -c compile

Debug Output

The -v option increases the amount of info that bitbake prints.

Terminal window
$ bitbake -v core-image-minimal

But you can do better! You can also add the options -DDD for even more debug output!

Terminal window
$ bitbake -v -DDD core-image-minimal
