Example: To (force) compiling a kernel and then build, type:

$ bitbake  linux-imx -f -c compile

$ bitbake linux-imx

   

bitbake <image > -g -u depexp

Show the package dependency for image.

Example: To show all packages included on fsl-image-gui

$ bitbake fsl-image-gui -g -u depexp

bitbake -g <image> && cat pn-depends.dot | grep -v -e '-native' | grep -v digraph | grep -v -e '-image' | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq Show image's packages    

bitbake -g <pkg> && cat pn-depends.dot | grep -v -e '-native' | grep -v digraph | grep -v -e '-image' | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq Show package's dependencies    

bitbake –v <image> 2>&1 | tee image_build.log Print (on console) and store verbose baking    

bitbake -s | grep <pkg> Check if certain package is present on current Yocto Setup
