Generating an image with systemd and connman

Generating an image with systemd and connman

[Christian Gagneraud]

Hi there,

I have successfully generated Dylan core-image-minimal with the meta-ti 
layer. I would like to know what is the procedure to select systemd for 
the init process and connman as the network manager.

It seems to me that systemd can be selected using EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES 
from local.conf (at least with the poky distro)
The Yocto dev manual mention using DISTRO_FEATURES_append but it is 
usable when creating a custom distro.

Concerning connman, I found references only in sato and self-hosted images.

As well, I would like to know how can I make Qt build depends on 
connman, so that I get the right bearer plugin.

Any help or point out greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Chris

I have

VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = ""
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED="sysvinit"

in my distro conf file and after that the generated system does only 
systemd. But I am creating a custom distro so I am not sure if these 
settings are any help for you.


Cheers,
Jukka

Thanks, I might have to go this way at some point anyway.
Are you using the meta-systemd layer? If so, could you give me more 
details about your setup please?
