dev packages not getting included in Yocto SDK

We are generating Yocto SDK using the following command: bitbake -c populate_sdk <image-name>

Yocto Branch : Dunfell

We don't see header files getting included in the SDK, for example we have libmodbus part of IMAGE_INSTALL, but we don't see the modbus.h file (which is present in libmodbus-dev package) in SDK.

Solution

  • Could you execute the command below so we can verify your setup:

    bitbake -e <image-name> | grep SDKIMAGE_FEATURES

    Development packages are automatically included into SDK when they are installed into the image when SDKIMAGE_FEATURES variable defines it

    SDKIMAGE_FEATURES = "dev-pkgs staticdev-pkgs"
