I am supposed to run source command in ~/yocto folder but I ran it under ~/yocto/build folder. This mistake has created another build inside build folder like - ~/yocto/build/build.
Can I delete the newly created folder? Will that cause any problem to my yocto environment?

USUAL OUTPUT:

Welcome to the PHYTEC BSP-Yocto buildsystem.

Before building for the first time, you should take a look in the main configuration file 'conf/local.conf'. There you can tweak the build system settings and license configuration. For example you may have to accept the Freescale/NXP GPU and VPU licence for an i.MX6 board.

Tested build target for this build configuration is:

$ bitbake phytec-headless-image $ bitbake phytec-qt5demo-image

WHAT I GOT:

source ../sources/poky/oe-init-build-env You had no conf/local.conf file. This configuration file has therefore been created for you with some default values. You may wish to edit it to, for example, select a different MACHINE (target hardware). See conf/local.conf for more information as common configuration options are commented.

You had no conf/bblayers.conf file. This configuration file has therefore been created for you with some default values. To add additional metadata layers into your configuration please add entries to conf/bblayers.conf.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about OE including a reference manual which can be found at: https://docs.yoctoproject.org

For more information about OpenEmbedded see their website: https://www.openembedded.org/

Shell environment set up for builds.

You can now run 'bitbake '

Common targets are:
core-image-minimal
core-image-full-cmdline

I tried nothing yet. This is a general question and needs a short answer.

This will not affect your main build. Just remove the new build folder.

Sourcing a build will setup up environment variables that points to that build directory.

For more details on how the build is created check my answer here.
