Correct syntax is `LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = " \ file://COPYING;md5=17cccb55725bad30d60ee344fa9561e \ "` I suggest you to look at devtool to create recipes, this video is really instructive [this video]

Nop, there is no support for Debian packages. If you want to add tensorflow to Yocto image, you'll need to create a recipe for it. You can look at this video [this video] . For numpy and pyserial, you can it with following statement in local.conf: `IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python3-numpy python3-pyserial "`. I can't see any tensorflow nor h5py existing recipes.

Did you look at this video on devtool [this video] ? It is the recommanded way to create recipes, to support new packages. Buildroot [LINK] is an alternative to Yocto. By the way, what is your target machine? You can also join #Yocto channel on irc [LINK] .

I'm working with rocko branch. I use the regular way to build an image via: bitbake core-image-full-cmdline All works fine! Now, I'm trying to work with devtool [this video] and then I need to use another way to build the core image: devtool build-image core-image-full-cmdline So, what's the difference between devtool build-image <image> and bitbake <image> ?

I believe it gets a bit complicated in Yocto: You need to create your own layer [LINK] . Let's say meta-hello . This folder needs to in the same place as all your other meta layers and also where your poky directory is. You need to enable that layer in your bblayers.conf file. For that you can use bitbake-layers add-layer /path/to/meta-hello Now within your meta-hello create a recipe in a folder recipes-hello/hello your hello.bb file is within the above mentioned folder and your can decide to use either automake , makefile or compile it accordingly using the Dev Manual Here [LINK] Once that is done, in your BUILD dir perform bitbake hello and this will compile and provide errors if any.

The only relevant and easy to understand example I found to use devtool in a Yocto Workflow was the Video from Tim Orling in Embedded Linux Conference [this video] In his workflow: He uses devtool add to add nano devtool build to build it devtool deploy-target to deploy it on qemu devtool undeploy-target to remove nano devtool finish nano ../meta-foo I tried doing the same thing but there is no subcommand finish in devtool when I try devtool finish --help devtool finish --help ERROR: argument <subcommand>: invalid choice: 'finish' (choose from 'create-workspace', 'add', 'modify', 'extract', 'sync', 'update-recipe', 'status', 'reset', 'build-image', 'deploy-target', 'undeploy-target', 'build', 'se
