Introduction

The Seco Build Configurator Tool is a user-friendly solution designed to streamline and simplify the process of customizing build configurations for Yocto Project-based environments for Seco and non-Seco boards. Yocto offers immense flexibility but often requires a deep understanding of its configuration files and build processes. This tool bridges the gap, making configuration management more accessible for developers and system integrators alike.

With the Seco Build Configurator Tool, users can:

• Manage Configuration Files: Easily edit or create key files like local.conf and bblayers.conf without manually navigating complex syntax.
• Customize Build Variables: Set and modify variables and additional build options with a guided interface.
• Layer Management: Add, remove layers in the build environment effortlessly.
• Dependency Validation: Automatically check for missing dependencies or configuration errors to ensure a smooth build process.
• User-Friendly Interface: Benefit from an intuitive interface tailored to the needs of both new and experienced users.

The tool is made by two components:

• the configurator core seco-setup.py module (seco-build-configurator)
• the launcher seco-setup.sh that acts as interface between the developer and the configurator core.
