core image opencpn recipe

Creating a recipe for an image is actually very straightforward. The idea is to extend an existing image and add some packages/programs to obtain a custom image. This is implemented as follow :

The base image (also available here) :

require recipes-graphics/images/core-image-weston.bb

DESCRIPTION = "Weston with mesa-driver-i965"

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " mesa-driver-i965 man-pages"

This example is an old version of the file, but it's a good example.

Notes :

• The require needs to have a *.bb file
• IMAGE_INSTALL_append is preferred to IMAGE_INSTALL +=

A version of this image extended with a light ssh server (dropbear-ssh) is also available here.
