In Yocto-based Embedded Linux distributions, I am really interested in finding the complete list of packages/recipes/kernel modules from each dependent layers that will be built and installed to an image file before executing the image building recipe such as:
bitbake my-image-minimal
Is there a way to achieve this? Any guidance in this regard is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, like this on old Bitbake versions:
bitbake -g <image> && cat pn-depends.dot | grep -v -e '-native' \
| grep -v digraph | grep -v -e '-image' | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq
Taken from the NXP Community website
On newer:
bitbake -g <image> && cat pn-buildlist | grep -ve "native" | sort | uniq
