This Wiki section guides through preparation and compiling images using Yocto Project. Release codenamed Rocko was selected and adjusted for i.MX25 SODIMM PC - Development Kit.
Install prerequisites
This procedure uses a compiling machine with Ubuntu 16.04 operating system installed. More information about Yocto requirements could be found in Freescale GitHub page. Following list of software packages are required to install:
sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \
build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \
xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping libsdl1.2-dev xterm curl
Download and install repo utility
Note: As Freescale disabled its primary git servers, the official repositories were moved. The files for building can be accessed by following this workaround.
To download the board support package, repositories need to be installed. To prepare them follow these steps:
mkdir -pv ~/workdir/bin
# curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/workdir/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/workdir/bin/repo
PATH=${PATH}:~/workdir/bin
Initialize Yocto Project
Download the BSP Yocto Project Environment:
mkdir ~/workdir/vmx/yocto/fsl-community-bsp cd ~/workdir/vmx/yocto/fsl-community-bsp repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b rocko
Init Voipac layer
Add i.MX25 SODIMM PC support:
mkdir -pv .repo/local_manifests/
cat > .repo/local_manifests/vmx.xml << EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote fetch="git://github.com/Voipac" name="voipac"/>
<project remote="voipac" revision="meta-freescale-vmx-rocko" name="yocto-vmx" path="sources/meta-freescale-vmx">
<copyfile src="vmx-setup.sh" dest="vmx-setup.sh"/>
</project>
</manifest>
EOF
Sync
Synchronize repositories:
cd ~/workdir/vmx/yocto/fsl-community-bsp
PATH=${PATH}:~/workdir/bin
repo sync
Configure
Add Voipac meta layer into BSP:
source vmx-setup.sh patch -p1 < sources/meta-freescale-vmx/meta-freescale_recipes-bsp_barebox_barebox_inc.patch
Build workarounds
As Barebox built by Yocto Project does not support all the booting options, a manual compile is recommended:
Issue: Barebox compiled by Yocto toolchain is unable to boot from NAND
Workaround: Compile Barebox manually using toolchain from Ubuntu repository
Build customization
Configuration files are created during setup (setup-environment, fsl-setup-release.sh). The file to update can be found:
/workdir/vmx/yocto/fsl-community-bsp/build-dir/conf/local.conf
By modifying local.conf file, custom features can be easily added:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " \
dropbear \
openssh-sftp-server \
alsa-utils-aplay \
evtest \
ethtool \
i2c-tools \
memtester \
mtd-utils \
stress \
multimedia-demo \
vpac-busybox-logo \
"
Building images
Locate the Yocto working directory:
cd ~/workdir/vmx/yocto/fsl-community-bsp
Supported machine:
vmx25
Supported distros (Freescale):
fslc-framebuffer fslc-wayland fslc-x11 fslc-xwayland
Console image
Setup and build for Console image:
MACHINE=<machine name> DISTRO=<distro name> source setup-environment build-dir MACHINE=<machine name> bitbake core-image-base
Commands used for i.MX25 SODIMM PC environment:
MACHINE=vmx25 DISTRO=fslc-framebuffer source ./setup-environment build-fb MACHINE=vmx25 bitbake core-image-base
Toolchain
Setup and build for Toolchain:
MACHINE=<machine name> DISTRO=<distro name> source setup-environment build-dir MACHINE=<machine name> DISTRO=<distro name> bitbake meta-toolchain
Output files
Output images and archives are stored in these locations:
cd ~/workdir/vmx/yocto/fsl-community-bsp/build-dir/tmp/deploy/images cd ~/workdir/vmx/yocto/fsl-community-bsp/build-dir/tmp/deploy/sdk
