Subject: is there any value in a short section somewhere on H/W bringup tools?
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2025 09:36:41 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8f9e9bb5-e84e-c9a2-bd27-105ffae5c2e8@crashcourse.ca> (raw)
Is there any value in adding a short section on useful OE-available
hardware bringup utilities? i just added this to an image to help me
poke around a new board:
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " \
devmem2 \
dtc \
ethtool \
i2c-tools \
libgpiod \
libubootenv-bin \
lshw \
mdio-tools \
phytool \
spitools \
usbutils \
"
might this be something that would be appropriate for the BSP guide,
or as a section in the dev tasks manual? (i'm sure there are other
packages that would belong here as well.)
