Meta layer for Boot to Qt Software Stack
========================================

Boot to Qt (b2qt) is the reference distro used in Qt for Device Creation [1].
It combines Poky, Qt and various BSP meta layers to provide an integrated
solution for building device images and toolchains with the latest Qt version.

Currently used dependencies, meta repositories and their revisions are shown in
scripts/manifest.xml

Setting up build environment
----------------------------

Use the Google repo tool to initialize the Yocto environment:

  cd <BuildDir>
  repo init -u git://code.qt.io/yocto/boot2qt-manifest -m <manifest>
  repo sync

Where manifest is one of the XML manifest files available in the
https://code.qt.io/cgit/yocto/boot2qt-manifest.git/tree/ repository.
A separate manifest file is available for each release and all the
development branches have manifests that follow the latest changes.

If you have already cloned the meta-boot2qt repository, you can alternatively
use the `b2qt-init-build-env` script to initialize the build environment:

  ./b2qt-init-build-env init --device <name>
