Fetching, Configuring and Building Your Bitbake Project with Just One Command

Explore the open-source project kas and its role in simplifying Yocto project setup and management in this 39-minute conference talk by Jan Kiszka from Siemens AG. Learn about the origins of kas, its evolution from a Python script to a comprehensive tool for git repository fetching and bitbake configuration file management. Discover how kas expanded beyond Yocto/OpenEmbedded to become the standard for the Debian image build system Isar. Compare kas with OE's create-layers-setup feature and workflow, and understand how to use kas and kas-container to bundle configuration and build environments for bitbake projects. Gain insights into advanced features such as configuration file includes, interactive configuration menus, and secure integrity validation for repositories. Understand how kas addresses the challenges of setting up and handing over Yocto projects, making the process more efficient for users and CI systems.
