You need to have the Yocto Project files available on your host system.
|
|
|
|
|
You can get files through tarball extraction or by cloning the <filename>poky</filename>
|
|
|
|
|
Git repository.

Once you have the local <filename>poky</filename> Git repository set up,
|
|
|
|
|
you have many development branches from which you can work.
|
|
|
|
|
From inside the repository you can see the branch names and the tag names used
|
|
|
|
|
in the Git repository using either of the following two commands:
|
|
|
|
|
<literallayout class='monospaced'>

2011-07-27 14:03:00 +00:00

For this example we are going to use the Yocto Project 1.1 Release, which is code
|
|
|
|
|
named "edison".
|
|
|
|
|
These commands create a local branch named <filename>edison</filename>
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
that tracks the remote branch of the same name.

You need to have the base BSP layer on your development system.
|
2011-10-03 18:41:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Similar to the local Yocto Project files, you can get the BSP
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
layer one of two ways:
|
|
|
|
|
download the BSP tarball and extract it, or set up a local Git repository that
|
|
|
|
|
has the Yocto Project BSP layers.
|
|
|
|
|
You should use the same method that you used to get the local Yocto Project files earlier.

the BSP files.

This example assumes the local <filename>meta-intel</filename> Git repository is
|
2011-07-27 16:06:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
inside the local <filename>poky</filename> Git repository.
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The <filename>meta-intel</filename> Git repository contains all the metadata
|
|
|
|
|
that supports BSP creation.

Because <filename>meta-intel</filename> is its own Git repository, you will want
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to be sure you are in the appropriate branch for your work.
|
2011-10-03 18:41:12 +00:00

For this example we are going to use the <filename>edison</filename> branch.

Now that you have the local Yocto Project files and the base BSP files, you need to create a
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
new layer for your BSP.
|
2011-10-03 18:41:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
To create your BSP layer, you simply copy the <filename>meta-crownbay</filename>
|
2011-07-27 18:50:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
layer to a new layer.
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-27 18:50:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
2011-10-03 18:41:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For this example, the new layer will be named <filename>meta-mymachine</filename>.
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The name must follow the BSP layer naming convention, which is
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>meta-<name></filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
The following example assumes your working directory is <filename>meta-intel</filename>
|
|
|
|
|
inside the local Yocto Project files.
|
|
|
|
|
If you downloaded and expanded a Crown Bay tarball then you simply copy the resulting
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>meta-crownbay</filename> directory structure to a location of your choice.
|
|
|
|
|
Good practice for a Git repository, however, is to just copy the new layer alongside
|
|
|
|
|
the existing
|
|
|
|
|
BSP layers in the <filename>meta-intel</filename> Git repository:
|
|
|
|
|
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
2011-07-27 14:03:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
$ cp -a meta-crownbay/ meta-mymachine
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
</literallayout>
|

<title>Making Changes to Your BSP</title>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
Right now you have two identical BSP layers with different names:
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>meta-crownbay</filename> and <filename>meta-mymachine</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
You need to change your configurations so that they work for your new BSP and
|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
your particular hardware.
|
|
|
|
|
The following sections look at each of these areas of the BSP.

<title>Changing the BSP Configuration</title>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
We will look first at the configurations, which are all done in the layer’s
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>conf</filename> directory.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>

First, since in this example the new BSP will not support EMGD, we will get rid of the
|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<filename>crownbay.conf</filename> file and then rename the
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>crownbay-noemgd.conf</filename> file to <filename>mymachine.conf</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
Much of what we do in the configuration directory is designed to help the Yocto Project
|
|
|
|
|
build system work with the new layer and to be able to find and use the right software.
|
|
|
|
|
The following two commands result in a single machine configuration file named
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>mymachine.conf</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
2011-07-27 14:03:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
$ rm meta-mymachine/conf/machine/crownbay.conf
|
|
|
|
|
$ mv meta-mymachine/conf/machine/crownbay-noemgd.conf \
|
|
|
|
|
meta-mymachine/conf/machine/mymachine.conf
|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00
|
|
|

</literallayout>
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
The next step makes changes to <filename>mymachine.conf</filename> itself.
|
|
|
|
|
The only changes needed for this example are changes to the comment lines.
|
|
|
|
|
Here we simply substitute the Crown Bay name with an appropriate name.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
Note that inside the <filename>mymachine.conf</filename> is the
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel</filename> statement.
|
|
|
|
|
This statement identifies the kernel that the BSP is going to use.
|
2011-10-03 18:41:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In this case, the BSP is using <filename>linux-yocto</filename>, which is the
|
2011-08-11 17:29:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
current Linux Yocto kernel based on the Linux 3.0 release.
|

</para>

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
The next configuration file in the new BSP layer we need to edit is <filename>layer.conf</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
This file identifies build information needed for the new layer.
|
|
|
|

Now we will take a look at the recipes in your new layer.
|
|
|
|
|
The standard BSP structure has areas for BSP, graphics, core, and kernel recipes.
|
2011-10-03 18:41:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When you create a BSP, you use these areas for appropriate recipes and append files.
|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Recipes take the form of <filename>.bb</filename> files.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to leverage the existing recipes the Yocto Project build system uses
|
2011-10-03 18:41:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
but change those recipes, you can use <filename>.bbappend</filename> files.
|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
All new recipes and append files for your layer must go in the layer’s
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>recipes-bsp</filename>, <filename>recipes-kernel</filename>,
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>recipes-core</filename>, and

First, let's look at <filename>recipes-bsp</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
For this example we are not adding any new BSP recipes.
|
|
|
|
|
And, we only need to remove the formfactor we do not want and change the name of
|
|
|
|
|
the remaining one that doesn't support EMGD.
|
|
|
|
|
These commands take care of the <filename>recipes-bsp</filename> recipes:

Now let's look at <filename>recipes-graphics</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
For this example we want to remove anything that supports EMGD and
|
|
|
|
|
be sure to rename remaining directories appropriately.
|
|
|
|
|
The following commands clean up the <filename>recipes-graphics</filename> directory:

Now let's look at changes in <filename>recipes-core</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
The file <filename>task-core-tools.bbappend</filename> in
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>recipes-core/tasks</filename> appends the similarly named recipe
|
|
|
|
|
located in the local Yocto Project files at
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>meta/recipes-core/tasks</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
The "append" file in our layer right now is Crown Bay-specific and supports
|
|
|
|
|
EMGD and non-EMGD.
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the contents of the file:

The <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> statements list packages that

The first <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> statement can be removed, while the

second one can be changed to reflect <filename>meta-mymachine</filename>:

|
|
|
|
|
Finally, let's look at <filename>recipes-kernel</filename> changes.
|
|
|
|
|
Recall that the BSP uses the <filename>linux-yocto</filename> kernel as determined
|
|
|
|
|
earlier in the <filename>mymachine.conf</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
The recipe for that kernel is not located in the
|
|
|
|
|
BSP layer but rather in the local Yocto Project files at
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux</filename> and is
|
2011-08-11 17:29:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
named <filename>linux-yocto_3.0.bb</filename>.
|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The <filename>SRCREV_machine</filename> and <filename>SRCREV_meta</filename>
|
|
|
|
|
statements point to the exact commits used by the Yocto Project development team
|
|
|
|
|
in their source repositories that identify the right kernel for our hardware.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
2011-07-27 14:03:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
However, in the <filename>meta-mymachine</filename> layer in
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>recipes-kernel/linux</filename> resides a <filename>.bbappend</filename>
|
2011-08-11 17:29:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
file named <filename>linux-yocto_3.0.bbappend</filename> that
|
2011-10-04 12:35:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
is appended to the recipe of the same name in <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux</filename>.
|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Thus, the <filename>SRCREV</filename> statements in the "append" file override
|
|
|
|
|
the more general statements found in <filename>meta</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
The <filename>SRCREV</filename> statements in the "append" file currently identify
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel that supports the Crown Bay BSP with and without EMGD support.
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the statements:

You will notice that there are two pairs of <filename>SRCREV</filename> statements.
|
|
|
|
|
The top pair identifies the kernel that supports
|
|
|
|
|
EMGD, which we don’t care about in this example.
|
|
|
|
|
The bottom pair identifies the kernel that we will use:
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>linux-yocto</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
At this point though, the unique commit strings all are still associated with

Crown Bay and not <filename>meta-mymachine</filename>.

|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00

we delete the two <filename>SRCREV</filename> statements that support

EMGD (the top pair).
|
2011-07-27 16:32:27 +00:00

We also change the remaining pair to specify <filename>mymachine</filename>

Two sets of these exist: one set supports EMGD and one set does not.

Because we are not interested in supporting EMGD those three can be deleted.

In summary, the edits to the layer’s recipe files result in removal of any files and
|
|
|
|
|
statements that do not support your targeted hardware in addition to the inclusion
|
|
|
|
|
of any new recipes you might need.
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, it was simply a matter of ridding the new layer
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>meta-machine</filename> of any code that supported the EMGD features
|
|
|
|
|
and making sure we were identifying the kernel that supports our example, which
|
|
|
|
|
is the <filename>atom-pc-standard</filename> kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
We did not introduce any new recipes to the layer.

file so that the information in it reflects your BSP.

To get ready to build your image that uses the new layer you need to do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Get the environment ready for the build by sourcing the environment
|
|
|
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
|
The environment script is in the top-level of the local Yocto Project files
|
|
|
|
|
directory structure.
|
|
|
|
|
The script has the string
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>init-build-env</filename> in the file’s name.
|
|
|
|
|
For this example, the following command gets the build environment ready:
|
2011-07-27 14:03:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00

|
|

$ source oe-init-build-env yocto-build
|
2011-07-27 14:03:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
</literallayout>
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
When you source the script a build directory is created in the current
|
|
|
|
|
working directory.
|
|
|
|
|
In our example we were in the <filename>poky</filename> directory.
|
|
|
|
|
Thus, entering the previous command created the <filename>yocto-build</filename> directory.
|
|
|
|
|
If you do not provide a name for the build directory it defaults to
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>build</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
The <filename>yocot-build</filename> directory contains a
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>conf</filename> directory that has
|
|
|

two configuration files you will need to check: <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>
|
|
|
|

and <filename>local.conf</filename>.</para></listitem>

This file minimally identifies the machine for which to build the image by
|
|
|
|
|
configuring the <filename>MACHINE</filename> variable.
|
|
|
|
|
For this example you must set the variable to mymachine as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
|
|
|
|
MACHINE ??= “mymachine”
|
2011-07-27 14:03:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
</literallayout>
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
You should also be sure any other variables in which you are interested are set.
|
|
|
|
|
Some variables to consider are <filename>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</filename>
|
|
|
|
|
and <filename>PARALLEL_MAKE</filename>, both of which can greatly reduce your build time
|
|
|
|
|
if you are using a multi-threaded development system (e.g. values of
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>8</filename> and <filename>j 6</filename>, respectively are optimal
|
|
|
|
|
for a development machine that has four available cores).</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Update the <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file so that it includes
|
|
|
|
|
the path to your new BSP layer.
|
|
|
|
|
In this example you need to include the pathname to <filename>meta-mymachine</filename>.
|
|
|
|
|
For this example the
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>BBLAYERS</filename> variable in the file would need to include the following path:
|
|
|
|
|
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
|
|
|
|
$HOME/poky/meta-intel/meta-mymachine
|

To build the image for our <filename>meta-mymachine</filename> BSP enter the following command
|
|
|
|
|
from the same shell from which you ran the setup script.
|
|
|
|
|
You should run the <filename>bitbake</filename> command without any intervening shell commands.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, moving your working directory around could cause problems.
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the command for this example:
|
|
|
|
|
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
2011-10-03 18:41:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
$ bitbake -k core-image-sato
|
2011-07-27 14:55:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
</literallayout>
|
|

This command specifies an image that has Sato support and that can be run from a USB device or
|
|
|
|
|
from a CD without having to first install anything.
|
|
|
|
|
The build process takes significant time and includes thousands of tasks, which are reported
|
|
|
|
|
at the console.
|
|
|
|
|
If the build results in any type of error you should check for misspellings in the
|
|
|
|
|
files you changed or problems with your host development environment such as missing packages.
