This README file contains information on building the meta-cedartrail BSP layer, and booting the images contained in the /binary directory. Please see the corresponding sections below for details. Dependencies ============ This layer depends on: URI: git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake branch: master URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core layers: meta branch: master URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel layers: intel branch: master Patches ======= Please submit any patches against this BSP to the Yocto mailing list (yocto@yoctoproject.org) and cc: the maintainer: Maintainer: Kishore Bodke Please see the meta-intel/MAINTAINERS file for more details. Table of Contents ================= I. Building the meta-cedartrail BSP layer II. Booting the images in /binary I. Building the meta-cedartrail BSP layer ========================================= In order to build an image with BSP support for a given release, you need to download the corresponding BSP tarball from the 'Board Support Package (BSP) Downloads' page of the Yocto Project website. Having done that, and assuming you extracted the BSP tarball contents at the top-level of your yocto build tree, you can build a cedartrail image by adding the location of the meta-cedartrail layer to bblayers.conf, along with the meta-intel layer itself (to access common metadata shared between BSPs) e.g.: yocto/meta-intel \ yocto/meta-intel/meta-cedartrail \ To enable the cedartrail layer that supports Power VR graphics, add the cedartrail MACHINE to local.conf: MACHINE ?= "cedartrail" Power VR Graphics user-space driver binaries are covered by a "Intel Free Distribution Binary License". The build of this driver can be enabled by adding the following line to the local.conf file: LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST += "license_cdv-pvr-driver_1.0" To enable the layer that does not support Power VR graphics add the following to the local.conf file: MACHINE ?= "cedartrail-nopvr" You should then be able to build a cedartrail image as such: $ source oe-init-build-env $ bitbake core-image-sato The above image will not give you the webkit feature and will not have the Audio and Video media samples in the image. If you want the webkit feature and Audio , Video media samples built into the image by default, You should build the custom image by doing the following: $ source oe-init-build-env $ bitbake core-image-cdv-media At the end of a successful build, you should have a live image that you can boot from a USB flash drive (see instructions on how to do that below, in the section 'Booting the images from /binary'). As an alternative to downloading the BSP tarball, you can also work directly from the meta-intel git repository. For each BSP in the 'meta-intel' repository, there are multiple branches, one corresponding to each major release starting with 'laverne' (0.90), in addition to the latest code which tracks the current master. Instead of extracting a BSP tarball at the top level of your yocto build tree, you can equivalently check out the appropriate branch from the meta-intel repository at the same location. II. Booting the images in /binary ================================== This BSP contains bootable live images, which can be used to directly boot Yocto off of a USB flash drive. Under Linux, insert a USB flash drive. Assuming the USB flash drive takes device /dev/sdf, use dd to copy the live image to it. For example: # dd if=core-image-sato-cedartrail-20120105232035.hddimg of=/dev/sdf # sync # eject /dev/sdf This should give you a bootable USB flash device. Insert the device into a bootable USB socket on the target, and power on. This should result in a system booted to the Sato graphical desktop. If you want a terminal, use the arrows at the top of the UI to move to different pages of available applications, one of which is named 'Terminal'. Clicking that should give you a root terminal. If you want to ssh into the system, you can use the root terminal to ifconfig the IP address and use that to ssh in. The root password is empty, so to log in type 'root' for the user name and hit 'Enter' at the Password prompt: and you should be in. ---- If you find you're getting corrupt images on the USB (it doesn't show the syslinux boot: prompt, or the boot: prompt contains strange characters), try doing this first: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf bs=1M count=512 Miscellaneous Notes ==================== Video and Music Samples ----------------------- This BSP includes recipes to download Ogg format video and music files that can be played-back with the Video and music players included in the sato images. The sample files are installed in /home/Music and /home/Videos directories. Adding Glxgears to image ------------------------- Glxgears can be added to the generated image by adding "tools-testapps" option to the extra image features variable in the default local.conf before building the BSP. e.g. to add Glxgears, locate the following line in local.conf EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks" and change above line to.. EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-testapps"
