bbclient 0.5.0

bbclient provides utility commands for bitbake.

BBClient

BBClient provides command interface for bitbake server.

The typical use case is as follows. You can do it via python easily.

• Get recipe variable value
• Get layer info
• Get image recipes
• Get all the packages
• Start a task of packages

For example, see below.

# get recipe file path for specified package
ret: List[str] = client.find_best_provider("gcc")
target_recipe_file_path: str = ret[3]

# parse the recipe file
data_store_index: int = client.parse_recipe_file(target_recipe_file_path)

# get variable in the recipe file
ret: Any = client.data_store_connector_cmd(data_store_index, "getVar", "PN")

System Requirements

• python: 3.7 or later
• yocto: dunfell or kirkstone

Please note that this command(and also bitbake) doesn't support dunfell with python3.10.
This is because collections.Iterable has been removed, so dunfell with python3.10 will cause exception.

Installation

pip3 install bbclient
