Hi All,

i am new to yocto environment. i want to build openvswitch in yocto_1.4.

The openvswitch is path :
*QorIQ-SDK-V1.4-20130814-yocto/meta-virtualization/recipes-networking/openvswitch.

*

For compiling openvswitch i perform following steps:-

   1.  bitbake -f -c compile openvswitch.
   2.  bitbake openvswitch.
   3.  bitbake fsl-image-core.

but when i get fsl-image-core-t4240rdb-20131028123337.rootfs.ext2.gz.u-boot
 & boot the board with uImage & above file system i did not find any
openvswitch utilities. can you please guide me to how to integrate
openvswitch in yocto.

looking for the positive response

-------
Regards
Sonia

If you wish openvswitch to be included in your image you will need to add it
explicitly - see this section of the manual:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-customimage

Once you have done this, steps 1 and 2 are no longer necessary.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Sonia,

        Add this line IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "openvswitch" to *
QorIQ-SDK-V1.4-20130814-yocto/meta-fsl-networking/images/fsl-image-core.bb.*
*
*
And do step 3 and openvswitch will be on T4240QDS.

It's not necessary (and indeed, poor practice) to make a change to the main recipes like this.

Much better would be to add that line to "local.conf" and leave the main recipes untouched.
Of course, you still have to rebuild the image (step 3) for this to have any affect.
