kas-shell - kas shell plugin

SYNOPSIS

kas shell [-h] [--skip STEP] [--force-checkout] [--update] [-E] [-k]


          [-c COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

Run a shell in the build environment.

This plugin implements the kas shell command.

When this command is executed, kas will checkout repositories, setup the build environment and then start a shell in the build environment. This can be used to manually run bitbake with custom command line options or to execute other commands such as runqemu.

For example, to start a shell in the build environment for the file kas-project.yml you could run:

kas shell kas-project.yml


Or to invoke qemu to test an image which has been built:

kas shell kas-project.yml -c 'runqemu'
