Introduction to scotty#

You will need…

  • a computer with internet access

  • a git server of your choice

  • our scotty tool

For SimpleCore™ and SimpleSwitch™ we encourage to use our Scotty tool, that will help you to setup a fully configured Yocto workspace on your development machine.

Install scotty

First step is to install scotty.

See Getting started for more details.

scotty setup

now you can run

scotty setup

See Choosing the project options for more.

Choose SimpleSwitch feature

Make sure you are selecting SimpleSwitch as a feature.

If you forgot that, you can rerun the configuration at any time with

scotty --reconfigure setup
Build a base image

To create most of the build artifacts, we recommend to build

  • graphical base image
  • non-graphical base image
scotty build simplecore-simpleswitch-os-weston-image

scotty build simplecore-simpleswitch-os-image

That can take a while

Depending on

  • your internet connection speed

  • your CPU count

  • and your RAM

this can take up to a few hours of time.

In case the build is interrupted at any point, just retry the command

Now you can proceed to Build and integrate with Yocto to setup your own project.
