kw-init#
SYNOPSIS#
DESCRIPTION#
This command creates a .kw folder containing a kworkflow.config file in
the current kernel directory. The primary reason for running kw init is to
pick up a freshly created config file.
OPTIONS#
- --template[=name]:
kw supports some pre-defined configurations for specific targets, and users can select them using the template parameter. If the user does not provide any input, kw will show all the available templates, and the user just needs to pick one. If the user provides the template name, kw will use it for creating the local config file.
- --arch <arch>:
Set the variable arch from the newly created kworkflow.config file. Before actually changing it, this option checks if <arch> is a valid architecture found in the arch folder from the kernel directory.
- --remote <user>@<ip>:<port>:
Set the variables ssh_user, ssh_ip, and ssh_port to <user>, <ip>, and <port>, respectively.
- --target <target>:
Set the variable default_deploy_target from kworkflow.config to <target>, which can be local or remote.
- --verbose:
Verbose mode allows the user to see the commands executed under the hood.
EXAMPLES#
For these examples, we suppose that the kernel directory is your current directory.
For initializing a kworkflow.config with arch set to arm, use:
kw init --arch arm
To initialize kworkflow.config with arch set to x86, ssh_user set to john, ssh_ip set to localhost, and ssh_port set to 2222, run:
kw init --arch x86 --remote john@localhost:2222
For initializing a kworkflow.config with arch set to arm64, target set to remote, ssh_user mary, ssh_ip localhost, and ssh_port 1234, run:
kw init --arch arm64 --remote mary@localhost:1234 --target remote
Kw provides some default templates that can be useful for the first setup. Users can see and interactively select the target option by using:
kw init --template
Alternatively, if the user knows which template they want to use:
kw init --template=rpi4-raspbian-64-cross-x86-arm
Keep in mind that you are still able to combine other parameters with the template feature, for example:
kw init --template=rpi4-raspbian-64-cross-x86-arm --remote mary@localhost:1234 --target remote
