How to add binary files via a custom recipe
When using Yocto Project it sometimes may be necessary to insert binary files via a custom recipe.
Below is an example of a recipe to manage that
# # binary_0.1.bb # DESCRIPTION = "Install custom files to /root directory" LICENSE = "CLOSED" LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "" SRC_URI = "file://my-binary \ file://my-config-file" do_install() { # Create the /root directory in the target filesystem install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/root # Install your binary and config file install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/my-binary ${D}/root/my-binary install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/my-config-file ${D}/root/my-config-file } FILES:${PN} = "/root"
