meta-swupdate, Yocto layer for deploy tool ========================================== This layer's purpose is to add support for a deployment mechanism of Yocto's images based on swupdate project. Layer dependencies ------------------ This layer depends on: URI: git://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git subdirectory: meta-oe Documentation for the layer --------------------------- Documentation for meta-swupdate is part of SWUpdate's docs. Check for http://sbabic.github.io/swupdate/building-with-yocto.html. BitBake variable expansion -------------------------- To insert the values of BitBake variables into the update file, pre- and postfix the names with "@@". For example, to automatically set the version tag, use the line `version = "@@DISTRO_VERSION@@";` in your sw-description file. Image hashing ------------- During creation of the update file, to get the sha256 hash of the image, pass $swupdate_get_sha256(IMAGE) (where IMAGE is an image filename). BitBake auto versions --------------------- By setting the version tag in the update file to `$swupdate_get_pkgvar(<package-name>)` it is automatically replaced with `PV` from BitBake's package-data-file for the package matching the name of the provided <package-name> tag. To insert the value of a variable from BitBake's package-data-file different to `PV` (e.g. `PKGV`) you can append the variable name to the tag: `$swupdate_get_pkgvar(<package-name>@<package-data-variable>)` SWU image signing ----------------- There are 3 signing mechanisms supported by meta-swupdate at the moment: 1. RSA signing: * Set variable: `SWUPDATE_SIGNING = "RSA"` * Set `SWUPDATE_PRIVATE_KEY` to the full path of private key file 2. CMS signing: * Set variable: `SWUPDATE_SIGNING = "CMS"` * Set `SWUPDATE_CMS_CERT` to the full path of certificate file * Set `SWUPDATE_CMS_KEY ` to the full path of private key file * (Optional) Set `SWUPDATE_CMS_EXTRA_CERTS` to a space delimited list of intermediate certificate files 3. Custom signing tool: * Set variable: `SWUPDATE_SIGNING = "CUSTOM"` * Set variable `SWUPDATE_SIGN_TOOL' to custom string that needs to be executed in order to perform the signing sw-description is signed and the signature is written to sw-description.sig which is included in the SWU file. Encrypted private keys are not currently supported since a secure mechanism must exist to provide the passphrase. Maintainer ---------- Stefano Babic <[email protected]> Submitting patches ------------------ You can submit your patches (or post questions regarding this layer to the swupdate Mailing List: [email protected] When creating patches, please use something like: git format-patch -s --subject-prefix='meta-swupdate][PATCH' <revision range> Please use 'git send-email' to send the generated patches to the ML to bypass changes from your mailer.
