4== Quickstart
5
6If you don't already have a Yocto project that you want to add OTA to, you can use the xref:dev@getstarted::raspberry-pi.adoc[HERE OTA Connect Quickstart] project to rapidly get up and running on a Raspberry Pi. It takes a standard https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/projects/poky[poky] distribution, and adds OTA and OSTree capabilities.
7
8== Dependencies
9
10//MC: TOMERGE: These "dependencies" mostly just duplicates the prerequisite sections: https://main.gitlab.in.here.com/olp/edge/ota/documentation/ota-connect-docs/blob/master/docs/getstarted/modules/ROOT/pages/raspberry-pi.adoc
11
12In addition to the link:https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#required-packages-for-the-build-host[standard Yocto dependencies], meta-updater generally requires a few additional dependencies, depending on your use case and target platform. To install these additional packages on Debian/Ubuntu, run this:
13
14....
15sudo apt install cpu-checker default-jre parted
16....
17
18To build for https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-minnowboard[Minnowboard] with GRUB, you will also need to install https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/OVMF[TianoCore's ovmf] package on your host system. On Debian/Ubuntu, you can do so with this command:
19
20....
21sudo apt install ovmf
22....
23
24== Adding meta-updater capabilities to your build
25
26// MC: TOMERGE: This content mosty duplicates https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr/blob/master/docs/ota-client-guide/modules/ROOT/pages/add-ota-functonality-existing-yocto-project.adoc
27
28If you already have a Yocto-based project and you want to add atomic filesystem updates to it, you just need to do three things:
29
301. Clone the `meta-updater` layer and add it to your https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#structure-build-conf-bblayers.conf[bblayers.conf].
312. Clone BSP integration layer (`meta-updater-$\{PLATFORM}`, e.g. https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-raspberrypi[meta-updater-raspberrypi]) and add it to your `conf/bblayers.conf`. If your board isn't supported yet, you could write a BSP integration for it yourself. See the <<Adding support for your board>> section for the details.
323. Set up your https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-DISTRO[distro]. If you are using "poky", the default distro in Yocto, you can change it in your `conf/local.conf` to "poky-sota". Alternatively, if you are using your own or third party distro configuration, you can add `INHERIT += " sota"` to it, thus combining capabilities of your distro with meta-updater features.
33
34You can then build your image as usual, with bitbake. After building the root file system, bitbake will then create an https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/adapting-existing/[OSTree-enabled version] of it, commit it to your local OSTree repo and (optionally) push it to a remote server. Additionally, a live disk image will be created (normally named `$\{IMAGE_NAME}.-sdimg-ota` e.g. `core-image-raspberrypi3.rpi-sdimg-ota`). You can control this behaviour through <<sota-related-variables-in-localconf,variables in your local.conf>>.
35
36== Build in AGL
37
38// MC: TOMERGE: This content duplicates https://main.gitlab.in.here.com/olp/edge/ota/documentation/ota-connect-docs/blob/master/docs/getstarted/modules/ROOT/pages/automotive-grade-linux.adoc (except that it is a lot sparser)
39
40With AGL you can just add agl-sota feature while configuring your build environment:
41
42....
43source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m porter agl-demo agl-appfw-smack agl-devel agl-sota
44....
45
46You can then run:
47
48....
49bitbake agl-demo-platform
50....
51
52and get as a result an `ostree_repo` folder in your images directory (`tmp/deploy/images/$\{MACHINE}/ostree_repo`). It will contain:
53
54* your OSTree repository, with the rootfs committed as an OSTree deployment,
55* an `ota-ext4` bootstrap image, which is an OSTree physical sysroot as a burnable filesystem image, and optionally
56* some machine-dependent live images (e.g. `.wic` for Raspberry Pi or `.porter-sdimg-ota` for Renesas Porter board).
57
58Although `aglsetup.sh` hooks provide reasonable defaults for SOTA-related variables, you may want to tune some of them.
59
60== Build problems
61
62Ubuntu users that encounter an error due to missing `Python.h` should install `libpython2.7-dev` on their host machine.

7== Logging
8
9To troubleshoot problems that you might encounter during development, we recommend that you enable persistent `systemd` logging. This setting is enabled by default for newly configured environments (see link:{meta-updater-github-url}/conf/local.conf.sample.append[]). To enable it manually, put this to your `local.conf`:
10
11....
12IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " systemd-journald-persistent"
13....
14
15It may also be helpful to run with debug logging enabled in aktualizr. To do so, add this to your `local.conf`:
16
17....
18IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " aktualizr-log-debug"
19....
20
21== Custom aktualizr versions
22
23You can override the version of aktualizr included in your image. This requires that the version you wish to run is pushed to the https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr[aktualizr github repo]. You can then use these settings in your `local.conf` to simplify the development process:
24
25[options="header"]
26|======================
27| Option | Effect
28| `require classes/sota_bleeding.inc` | Build the latest head (by default, using the master branch) of Aktualizr
29| `BRANCH_pn-aktualizr = "mybranch"`
30
31`BRANCH_pn-aktualizr-native = "mybranch"` | Build `mybranch` of Aktualizr. Note that both of these need to be set. This is normally used in conjunction with `require classes/sota_bleeding.inc`
32| `SRCREV_pn-aktualizr = "1004efa3f86cef90c012b34620992b5762b741e3"`
33
34`SRCREV_pn-aktualizr-native = "1004efa3f86cef90c012b34620992b5762b741e3"` | Build the specified revision of Aktualizr. Note that both of these need to be set. This can be used in conjunction with `BRANCH_pn-aktualizr` and `BRANCH_pn-aktualizr-native` but will conflict with `require classes/sota_bleeding.inc`
35| `TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK_append = " nativesdk-cmake "` | Use with `bitbake -c populate_sdk core-image-minimal` to build an SDK. See the https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr#developing-against-an-openembedded-system[aktualizr repo] for more information.
36|======================
37
38== Overriding target version
39*Warning: overriding target version is a dangerous operation, make sure you understand this section completely before doing it.*
40
41Every time you build an image with `SOTA_PACKED_CREDENTIALS` set, a new entry in your Uptane metadata is created and you can see it in the OTA Garage UI if you're using one. Normally this version will be equal to OSTree hash of your root file system. If you want it to be different though you can override is using one of two methods:
42
431. Set `GARAGE_TARGET_VERSION` variable in your `local.conf`.
442. Write a recipe or a bbclass to write the desired version to `${STAGING_DATADIR_NATIVE}/target_version`. An example of such bbclass can be found in `classes/target_version_example.bbclass`.
45
46Please note that [target name, target version] pairs are expected to be unique in the system. If you build a new target with the same target version as a previously built one, the old package will be overwritten on the update server. It can have unpredictable effect on devices that have this version installed, and it is not guaranteed that information will be reported correctly for such devices or that you will be able to update them (we're doing our best though). The easiest way to avoid problems is to make sure that your overriding version is as unique as an OSTree commit hash.

5== QA with oe-selftest
6
7This layer relies on the test framework oe-selftest for quality assurance. Currently, you will need to run this in a build directory with `MACHINE` set to `qemux86-64`. Follow the steps below to run the tests:
8
91. Append the line below to `conf/local.conf` to disable the warning about supported operating systems:
10+
11```
12SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS = ""
13```
14
152. If your image does not already include an ssh daemon such as dropbear or openssh, add this line to `conf/local.conf` as well:
16+
17```
18IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " dropbear "
19```
20
213. Some tests require that `SOTA_PACKED_CREDENTIALS` is set in your `conf/local.conf`. See the xref:dev@ota-build::sota-variables.adoc[SOTA-related variables in local.conf].
22
234. To be able to build an image for the GRUB tests, you will need to install the `ovmf` package as described in the xref:dev@ota-build::build.adoc#_dependencies[dependencies section].
24
255. Run oe-selftest:
26+
27```
28oe-selftest -r updater_native updater_qemux86_64 updater_minnowboard updater_raspberrypi updater_qemux86_64_ptest
29```
30
31For more information about oe-selftest, including details about how to run individual test modules or classes, please refer to the https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Oe-selftest[Yocto Project wiki].
32
33== Aktualizr test suite with ptest
34
35The meta-updater layer includes support for running parts of the aktualizr test suite on deployed devices through link:https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Ptest[Yocto's ptest functionality]. Since it adds significant build time cost, it is currently disabled by default. To enable it, add the following to your `conf/local.conf`:
36
37```
38PTEST_ENABLED_pn-aktualizr = "1"
39IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " aktualizr-ptest ptest-runner "
40```
41
42Be aware that it will add several hundreds of MB to the generated file system.
43
44The aktualizr tests will now be part of the deployed ptest suite, which can be run by calling `ptest-runner`. Alternatively, the required files and run script can be found in `/usr/lib/aktualizr/ptest`.

8== OSTree
9
10OSTree used to include a simple HTTP server as part of the ostree binary, but this has been removed in more recent versions. However, OSTree repositories are self-contained directories, and can be trivially served over the network using any HTTP server. For example, you could use Python's SimpleHTTPServer:
11
12....
13cd tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/ostree_repo
14python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port> # port defaults to 8000
15....
16
17You can then run ostree from inside your device by adding your repo:
18
19....
20# This behaves like adding a Git remote; you can name it anything
21ostree remote add --no-gpg-verify my-remote http://<your-ip>:<port>
22
23# If OSTREE_BRANCHNAME is set in local.conf, that will be the name of the
24# branch. If not set, it defaults to the value of MACHINE (e.g. qemux86-64).
25ostree pull my-remote <branch>
26
27# poky is the OS name as set in OSTREE_OSNAME
28ostree admin deploy --os=poky my-remote:<branch>
29....
30
31After restarting, you will boot into the newly deployed OS image.
32
33For example, on the raspberry pi you can try this sequence:
34
35....
36# add remote

46== garage-push
47
48The https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr[aktualizr repo] contains a tool, garage-push, which lets you push the changes in OSTree repository generated by bitbake process. It communicates with an http server capable of querying files with HEAD requests and uploading them with POST requests. In particular, this can be used with https://connect.ota.here.com/[HERE OTA Connect]. garage-push is used as follows:
49
50....
51garage-push --repo=/path/to/ostree-repo --ref=mybranch --credentials=/path/to/credentials.zip
52....
53
54You can set `SOTA_PACKED_CREDENTIALS` in your `local.conf` to automatically synchronize your build results with a remote server. Credentials are stored in an archive as described in the xref:dev@ota-client::provisioning-methods-and-credentialszip.adoc[aktualizr documentation].
55
56== aktualizr configuration
57
58https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr[Aktualizr] supports a variety of xref:dev@ota-client::aktualizr-config-options.adoc[configuration options via a configuration file and the command line]. There are two primary ways to control aktualizr's configuration from meta-updater.
59
60First, you can set `SOTA_CLIENT_PROV` to control which provisioning recipe is used. Each recipe installs an appropriate `sota.toml` file from aktualizr according to the provisioning needs. See the xref:dev@ota-build::sota-variables.adoc[SOTA-related variables in local.conf] section for more information.
61
62Second, you can write recipes to install additional config files with customized options. A few recipes already exist to address common needs and provide an example:
63
64* link:{meta-updater-github-url}/recipes-sota/config/aktualizr-auto-reboot.bb[aktualizr-auto-reboot.bb] configures aktualizr to automatically reboot after new updates are installed in order to apply the updates immediately. This is only relevant for package managers (such as OSTree) that require a reboot to complete the installation process. If this is not enabled, you will need to reboot the system through other means.
65* link:{meta-updater-github-url}/recipes-sota/config/aktualizr-disable-send-ip.bb[aktualizr-disable-send-ip.bb] disables the reporting of networking information to the server. This is enabled by default and supported by https://connect.ota.here.com/[HERE OTA Connect]. However, if you are using a different server that does not support this feature, you may want to disable it in aktualizr.
66* link:{meta-updater-github-url}/recipes-sota/config/aktualizr-log-debug.bb[aktualizr-log-debug.bb] sets the log level of aktualizr to 0 (trace). The default is 2 (info). This recipe is intended for development and debugging purposes.
67
68To use these recipes, you will need to add them to your image with a line such as `IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " aktualizr-log-debug "` in your `local.conf`.
69
70== aktualizr service resource control
71
72With systemd based images, it is possible to set resource policies for the aktualizr service. The main use case is to provide a safeguard against resource exhaustion during an unforeseen failure scenario.
73
74To enable it, install `aktualizr-resource-control` on the target image and optionally override the default resource limits set in link:{meta-updater-github-url}/recipes-sota/aktualizr/aktualizr_git.bb[aktualizr_git.bb], from your `local.conf`.
75
76For example:
77
78....
79IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " aktualizr-resource-control "
80RESOURCE_CPU_WEIGHT_pn-aktualizr = "50"
81....
82
83=== garage-sign configuration
84
85The https://github.com/advancedtelematic/ota-tuf/tree/master/cli[garage-sign] tool can be configured with variables described in the xref:sota-variables.adoc[SOTA-related variables in local.conf] section.
86
87Of particular importance is controlling the expiration of the Targets metadata signed with garage-sign. This is described in detail in the {metadata-expiry-article}. To set a manual expiration date, you can use either of the variables `GARAGE_TARGET_EXPIRES` or `GARAGE_TARGET_EXPIRE_AFTER`. Both cannot be supplied simultaneously. If neither are provided, a default of one month will be used. \ No newline at end of file

4
5As described in the xref:xref:dev@ota-build::sota-variables.adoc[configuration reference], you can set `SOTA_DEPLOY_CREDENTIALS` to `0` to prevent deploying credentials to the built `wic` image. In this case you get a generic image that you can use e.g. on a production line to flash a series of devices. The cost of this approach is that this image is half-baked and should be provisioned before it can connect to the backend.
6
7Provisioning procedure depends on your provisioning recipe, i.e. the value of `SOTA_CLIENT_PROV` (equal to `aktualizr-shared-prov` by default):
8
9* For `aktualizr-shared-prov` put your `credentials.zip` to `/var/sota/sota_provisioning_credentials.zip` on the filesystem of a running device. If you have the filesystem of our device mounted to your build machine, prefix all paths with `/ostree/deploy/poky` as in `/ostree/deploy/poky/var/sota/sota_provisioning_credentials.zip`.
10* For `aktualizr-device-prov`
11** put URL to the backend server (together with protocol prefix and port number) at `/var/sota/gateway.url`. If you're using HERE OTA Connect, you can find the URL in the `autoprov.url` file in your credentials archive.
12** put client certificate, private key and root CA certificate (for the *server*, not for the *device*) at `/var/sota/import/client.pem`, `/var/sota/import/pkey.pem` and `/var/sota/import/root.crt` respectively.
13* For `aktualizr-device-prov-hsm`
14** put URL to the server backend (together with protocol prefix and port number) at `/var/sota/gateway.url`. If you're using HERE OTA Connect, you can find the URL in the `autoprov.url` file in your credentials archive.
15** put root CA certificate (for the *server*, not for the *device*) at `/var/sota/import/root.crt`.
16** put client certificate and private key to slots 1 and 2 of the PKCS#11-compatible device.

1= Supported boards
2:page-partial:
3// MC: Included in aktualizr/docs/ota-client-guide/modules/ROOT/pages/supported-boards.adoc
4Currently supported platforms are:
5
6* https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-raspberrypi[Raspberry Pi 2 and 3]
7* https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-minnowboard[Intel Minnowboard]
8* https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-qemux86-64[Native QEMU emulation]
9* Renesas R-Car H3 and M3
10* https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-ti/[TI BeagleBone Black] (rocko only, using TI SDK 05.03)
11* https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-ti/[TI AM65x industrial development kit] (rocko only, using TI SDK 05.03)
12
13Additionally, there is community support for https://github.com/ricardosalveti/meta-updater-riscv[RISC-V] boards, in particular the Freedom U540.
14
15We also historically supported the https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-porter[Renesas Porter] board.
16
17== Adding support for your board
18
19If your board isn't supported yet, you can add board integration code yourself. The main purpose of this code is to provide a bootloader that will be able to use https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/atomic-upgrades/[OSTree's boot directory]. In the meta-updater integration layers we have written so far, the basic steps are:
20
211. Make the board boot into http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot[U-Boot]
222. Make U-boot import variables from /boot/loader/uEnv.txt and load the kernel with initramfs and kernel command line arguments according to what is set in this file.
23
24Take a look at the https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-minnowboard[Minnowboard] or https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater-raspberrypi[Raspberry Pi] integration layers for examples.
25
26If you want our developers to add support for your board, contact us at mailto:otaconnect.support@here.com[] and we can discuss a potential NRE (Non-recurring Engineering) agreement.
27
28[NOTE]
29====
30Although we have focused on U-Boot and GRUB so far, other bootloaders can be configured to work with OSTree as well. If you want to use a different bootloader, contact us at mailto:otaconnect.support@here.com[].
31====
32
33Your images will also need network connectivity to be able to reach an actual OTA backend. Our 'poky-sota' distribution does not mandate or install a default network manager but our supported platforms use the `virtual/network-configuration` recipe, which can be used as a starting example.
34
35== Minimum hardware requirements for controllers (ECUs)
36
37The aktualizr binary is a lightweight {cpp} application between 2-5 MB in size. It uses a minimum amount of resources when idle.
38
39The following hardware is required for your primary ECU:
40
41* At a minimum, aktualizr needs **16 MB of RAM** and **128 MB of storage** to run.
42* We recommend that you use a controller with **128 MB of RAM** and **512 MB storage** -- especially if you if your plan to process large, complex sofware updates.
43
44[NOTE]
45====
46If you plan to send updates to secondary, low-performance ECUs, you can also use a more minimal implementaton called link:https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr/tree/master/partial/libuptiny[`libuptiny`]. This utility is only 10 KB and performs a minimal verification of software metadata that is less resource intensive. For more information on `libuptiny`, contact us at mailto:otaconnect.support@here.com[].
