Using the Toaster web interface

Toaster is a web application interface to the Yocto Project's build system built on the Django framework with a database backend to store and represent build data. It replaces the Hob user interface, which could be found on releases prior to Yocto 1.8. The welcome page is shown next:

It allows you to perform the following actions:

• Configure local or remote builds
• Manage layers
• Set configuration variables
• Set build targets
• Start builds either from the command line (analysis mode) or the web UI (managed mode)
• Collect and represent build data
• Browse final images
• List installed packages
• See build variable values
• Explore recipes, packages, and task dependencies
• Examine build warnings, errors, and trace messages
• Provide build performance statistics
• Examine build tasks and use of shared state cache
