27To enable the fri2 layer, add the fri2 MACHINE to local.conf: 35The meta-fri2 layer contains support for two different machine
36configurations. These configurations are identical except for the fact
37that the one prefixed with 'fri2' makes use of the Intel-proprietary
38EMGD 1.8 graphics driver, while the one prefixed with 'fri2-noemgd'
39does not.

71II. Special notes for building the meta-fri2 BSP layer
72======================================================
73
74The meta-fri2 layer makes use of the proprietary Intel EMGD userspace
75drivers when building the "fri2" machine (but not when building the
76"fri2-noemgd" machine). If you got the BSP from the 'BSP Downloads'
77section of the Yocto website, the EMGD binaries needed to perform the
78build will already be present in the BSP, located in the
79meta-intel/common/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/emgd-driver-bin-1.8
80directory, and you can ignore the rest of this section.
81
82If you didn't get the BSP from the 'BSP Downloads' section of the
83Yocto website, you can download a tarball containing an rpm that
84contains the binaries and extract the binaries from that, and copy
85them to the proper location in the meta-fri2 layer.
86
87The following subsection describes that process in detail.
88
89
90Downloading and extracting the binaries using the EMGD Linux tarball
91--------------------------------------------------------------------
92
93The first step of the process is to download the EMGD 1.8 Driver.
94Here is the current link to the URL from which it can be downloaded:
95
96http://edc.intel.com/Software/Downloads/EMGD/
97
98In the Download Now tab, select:
99
100IntelĀ® architecture-based product: Linux Tar Ball
101Operating System: MeeGo* 1.2 IVI Linux* (kernel 2.6.37, X.server 1.9, Mesa 7.9)
102
103That will give you a large .tgz file:
104
105Lin_EMGD_1_8_RC_2032.tgz
106
107Extract the files in the tar file, which will in turn give you a
108directory named IEMGD_HEAD_Linux.
109
110The binaries are contained in an rpm file; you can extract the
111binaries from the rpm file using rpm2cpio and cpio:
112
113$ cd IEMGD_HEAD_Linux/MeeGo1.2
114$ rpm2cpio emgd-bin-2032-1.6.i586.rpm > emgd-bin-2032-1.6.i586.cpio
115$ mkdir extracted; cd extracted
116$ cpio -idv < ../emgd-bin-2032-1.6.i586.cpio
117
118Finally, you can copy the xorg-xserver binaries to the
119emgd-driver-bin-1.8 directory in meta-intel/common:
120
121$ cp -a usr/lib meta-intel/common/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/emgd-driver-bin-1.8
122
123You also need to copy the IEMGD License.txt file to the same directory:
124
125$ cp IEMGD_HEAD_Linux/License/License.txt meta-intel/common/recipes/xorg-xserver/emgd-driver-bin-1.8
126
127At this point, you should be able to build meta-fri2 images as usual.
