Create your own DISTRO based on SimpleCore™#

After you are done with Create a project specific layer you can define your own Distribution.

This is especially helpful, if you want to change the used logo. See Custom Logos and branding for more details.

Create a distro config#

Browse to the root path of your project layer and run

mkdir -p conf/distro
touch conf/distro/mydistro.conf

and fill the new file mydistro.conf with the following content

require conf/distro/simplecore-distro.conf

you can now add more settings below that line.

Start your build#

from the console you can now run

  • bitbake
  • scotty
    DISTRO="mydistro" bitbake <image>

    DISTRO="mydistro" scotty build <image>
