Build and Deployment

BitBake hand-off
The optional final pipeline step that stages dist/ into a Yocto recipe and may invoke BitBake. Deployment to hardware remains the product integrator’s responsibility.

csti
The Consortium command-line tool. csti build drives validation, generation, compilation, post-processing, and staging.

Deployment
Installation and activation of built artifacts on a target. csti prepares deployment inputs but does not modify a live device.

dist/
The local staging tree produced by csti build. It can contain applications, firmware, TEE and HMI artifacts, device-tree and kernel inputs, boot files, a systemd unit, and a BitBake recipe.

DTS / DTB
Device Tree Source and its compiled Device Tree Blob. Consortium can emit either a merged board tree or an overlay containing reserved-memory, UIO, and remoteproc integration.

Remoteproc
The Linux framework that loads and controls remote-processor firmware. Consortium post-processes firmware into the section layout expected by remoteproc.

Staging
Assembling built artifacts and generated integration files under dist/ without installing them on the target.

Sysroot
A target filesystem and development environment used when compiling the Linux application for another architecture or distribution.
