Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "In this case, both imx6q.dtsi and ;imx6qdl-wandboard-revd1.dtsi are overlaid with the contents of imx6qp-wandboard-revd1.dts."

A block of code is set as follows:

#include "imx6q-wandboard-revd1.dts"                                             
#include "imx6qp.dtsi"                                                           
                                                                                 
/ {                                                                              
        model = "Wandboard i.MX6QuadPlus rev.D1";                                
}; 

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

# Allow override of WANDBOARD_GITHUB_MIRROR to make use of                       
# local repository easier                                                        
WANDBOARD_GITHUB_MIRROR ?= "git://github.com/wandboard-org/linux.git"

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ cd /opt/yocto/fsl-community-bsp/wandboard/tmp/deploy/sdk/
$ ./poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-cortexa9hf-neon-toolchain-2.4.sh  

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Build the project by going to Project | Build Project."
