Yocto Recipe Overrider

This skill explains how to safely override and modify existing recipes from community layers (like meta-openembedded or poky) without modifying the original files directly.

Available Workflows

Detailed workflows for different scenarios are available in the references/ directory. Read the appropriate reference file based on your goal:

  • You need to modify the configuration or patch an existing recipe: Read references/using-bbappend.md (Explains how to use .bbappend files).

  • You need to completely replace a recipe or upgrade its version: Read references/version-upgrades.md (Explains how to create a replacement .bb file in your custom layer).

Out of Scope

This skill is strictly for modifying or overriding existing recipes.

  • To locate the recipe you want to override, use the yocto-recipe-locator skill.
  • To debug dependencies or build errors, consult the bitbake-debugger skill.
