Use the extlinks extension to create new roles to quickly reference a
commit from openembedded-core, bitbake, or meta-yocto.
For example, use as: :oecore_rev:`437e0419608e`.

QA_EMPTY_DIRS_RECOMMENDATION:/dev = "but all devices must be created at runtime"
+ :term:`QB_CMDLINE_IP_SLIRP`
+
+ If :term:`QB_NETWORK_DEVICE` adds more than one network interface to QEMU,
+ usually the ``ip=`` Linux kernel command line argument needs to be changed
+ accordingly. The :term:`QB_CMDLINE_IP_SLIRP` variable allows controlling
+ this value. See the Linux kernel documentation for more details:
+ https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
+
+ :term:`QB_CMDLINE_IP_TAP`
+
+ This variable is similar to the :term:`QB_CMDLINE_IP_SLIRP` variable.
+
+ Use as follows::
+
+ QB_CMDLINE_IP_TAP = "ip=192.168.7.@CLIENT@::192.168.7.@GATEWAY@:255.255.255.0::eth0"
+
+ Since the tap interface requires static IP configuration, ``runqemu``
+ replaces the ``@CLIENT@`` and ``@GATEWAY@`` place holders by the IP and
+ the gateway address of the QEMU guest.
+
+ :term:`QB_DEFAULT_FSTYPE`
+
+ The :term:`QB_DEFAULT_FSTYPE` variable controls the default filesystem
+ type to boot. It is represented as the file extension of one of the root
+ filesystem image extension found in :term:`DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE`. For example:
+ ``ext4.zst``.
+
+ :term:`QB_DEFAULT_KERNEL`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_DEFAULT_KERNEL` variable controls
+ the default Linux kernel image to boot, found in :term:`DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE`. For
+ example: ``bzImage``.
+
+ :term:`QB_DRIVE_TYPE`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_DRIVE_TYPE` variable specifies the
+ type of drive to emulate when starting the emulated machine.
+ Valid values are:
+
+ - ``/dev/hd``: emulates an IDE drive.
+ - ``/dev/mmcblk``: emulates an SD Card.
+ - ``/dev/sd``: emulates an SCSI drive.
+ - ``/dev/vd``: emulates a VirtIO drive.
+ - ``/dev/vdb``: emulates a block VirtIO drive.
+
+ :term:`QB_GRAPHICS`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_GRAPHICS` variable controls the QEMU
+ video card type to emulate. For example: ``-vga std``.
+
+ This value is appended to the argument list when running ``qemu``.
+
+ :term:`QB_KERNEL_CMDLINE_APPEND`
+
+ The :term:`QB_KERNEL_CMDLINE_APPEND` variable controls the options passed
+ to the Linux kernel's ``-append`` QEMU options, which controls the Linux kernel
+ command-line.
+
+ For example::
+
+ QB_KERNEL_CMDLINE_APPEND = "console=ttyS0"
+
+ :term:`QB_MEM`
+
+ The :term:`QB_MEM` variable controls the amount of memory allocated to the
+ emulated machine. Specify as follows::
+
+ QB_MEM = "-m 512"
+
+ :term:`QB_NETWORK_DEVICE`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_NETWORK_DEVICE` variable controls
+ the network device instantiated by QEMU. This value needs to be compatible
+ with the :term:`QB_TAP_OPT` variable.
+
+ Example::
+
+ QB_NETWORK_DEVICE = "-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mac=@MAC@"
+
+ ``runqemu`` replaces ``@MAC@`` with a predefined mac address.
+
+ :term:`QB_NFSROOTFS_EXTRA_OPT`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_NFSROOTFS_EXTRA_OPT` variable
+ controls extra options to be appended to the NFS rootfs options in the
+ Linux kernel command-line.
+
+ For example::
+
+ QB_NFSROOTFS_EXTRA_OPT = "wsize=4096,rsize=4096"
+
+ :term:`QB_OPT_APPEND`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_OPT_APPEND` variable controls
+ general options to append to QEMU when starting.
+
+ :term:`QB_RNG`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_RNG` variable controls
+ pass-through for host random number generator, it can speedup boot
+ in system mode, where system is experiencing entropy starvation.
+
+ For example::
+
+ QB_RNG = "-object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0"
+
+ :term:`QB_ROOTFS_EXTRA_OPT`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_ROOTFS_EXTRA_OPT` variable controls
+ extra options to be appended to the rootfs device options.
+
+ :term:`QB_SERIAL_OPT`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_SERIAL_OPT` variable controls the
+ serial port option.
+
+ For example::
+
+ QB_SERIAL_OPT = "-serial mon:stdio"
+
+ :term:`QB_SMP`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_SMP` variable controls
+ amount of CPU cores made availalble inside the QEMU guest, each mapped to
+ a thread on the host.
+
+ For example::
+
+ QB_SMP = "-smp 8".
+
+ :term:`QB_TAP_NAMESERVER`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_TAP_NAMESERVER` variable controls
+ the default :wikipedia:`name server <Name_server>` used in the QEMU guest.
+
+ :term:`QB_TAP_OPT`
+
+ When using ``runqemu``, the :term:`QB_TAP_OPT` variable controls
+ the network option for "tap" mode.
+
+ For example::
+
+ QB_TAP_OPT = "-netdev tap,id=net0,ifname=@TAP@,script=no,downscript=no"
+
+ Note that ``runqemu`` will replace ``@TAP@`` with the tap interface in
+ use, such as ``tap0``, ``tap1``, etc.
+
:term:`RANLIB`
The minimal command and arguments to run :manpage:`ranlib <ranlib(1)>`.

+

+Support for SysVinit compatibility in systemd was dropped
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Support for the :wikipedia:`SysVinit <UNIX_System_V>` compatibility in
+:wikipedia:`systemd <Systemd>` was dropped.
+
+This is due to `recent announcements
+<https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v260-rc1>`__ in `systemd` which
+is planning to drop support for the `SysVinit` compatibility.
+
+This means that the ``systemd`` and ``sysvinit`` :term:`distro features
+<DISTRO_FEATURES>` cannot be used together anymore.
+
+Users are advised to switch to one init manager or the other entirely.
