From d1b1b3275651f02b55bc0ffc2eeb34438c0c4a42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Opdenacker Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2024 14:47:03 +0000 Subject: dev-manual/bmaptool.rst: simplify and fix instructions - Remove duplicate instructions - Detail how to run bmaptool directly if you installed it on your host instead of building it through the ``bmaptool-native`` recipe, as running "oe-run-native bmaptool-native bmaptool ..." won't work in this case. - Use "chmod a+w" instead of "chmod 666", better advice, and only run "chmod" in the option that runs "oe-run-native" (From yocto-docs rev: 8e6b07ffcc3aacee2244e064e09c27418017e414) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Reviewed-by: Antonin Godard Signed-off-by: Antonin Godard (cherry picked from commit 4afa71ef6e5bf1db126c80e6d987f588d0b5a086) Signed-off-by: Antonin Godard Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman --- documentation/dev-manual/bmaptool.rst | 9 ++++----- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'documentation') diff --git a/documentation/dev-manual/bmaptool.rst b/documentation/dev-manual/bmaptool.rst index 37083c9c64..87162a49c9 100644 --- a/documentation/dev-manual/bmaptool.rst +++ b/documentation/dev-manual/bmaptool.rst @@ -43,14 +43,13 @@ any type of image.
