How to find out Yocto version

Question

How to find the current version of Yocto kernel that I am using to build the components. There is a version for poky. But i want to know the Yocto kernel version.

Answer 1

• To know the yocto kernel version you are using, just type bitbake -e virtual/kernel | grep "^PV"
• And to know the kernel you are using, type bitbake -e virtual/kernel | grep "^PN"

And if you have any kernel you want to know the version, type bitbake -e <kernel_name> | grep "^PV"

I hope this will be helpfull
