11 Welcome to the Yocto Project!
12 The Yocto Project is an open-source collaboration project whose
13 focus is developers of embedded Linux systems.
14 The Yocto Project provides a development
15 environment that eases application, kernel image, and Linux image
16 development for embedded hardware systems.
17 You can think of the Yocto Project as an umbrella over-arching
18 many components, which include a build system, a reference or
19 test distribution, and various tools all designed to enhance
20 your embedded Linux development experience.
21 </para>
22
23 <para>
24 The Yocto Project uses a build host based on the OpenEmbedded
25 (OE) project, which uses the
26 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#bitbake-term'>BitBake</ulink>
27 tool, to construct complete images.
28 The BitBake and OE components combine together to form
29 a reference build host, historically known as
30 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#poky'>Poky</ulink>
31 (<emphasis>Pah</emphasis>-kee).
32 Tools exist that facilitate aspects of development such as
33 layer creation to isolate your work, emulation for testing
34 modules, modification of existing source code, integration of
35 new or modified modules into existing images, and so forth.
36 </para>
37
38 <para>
39 Rather than go into great detail about the Yocto Project and its
40 many capabilities, this quick start provides high-level
41 practical information that lets you try out the Yocto Project.
42 The quick start is written to help introduce you to the Yocto
43 Project, get a feel for how to use it to build a Linux image or
44 two, and provide you with a "road map" to other areas of interest
45 for the new user.

67 This section of the quick start lets you work through setting up
68 a build host and then shows you how to build two images: one for
69 emulation and one for target hardware.
70 The steps do not go into great detail but are rather focused on

76 <title>Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project</title>

78 <para>
79 Setting up to use the Yocto Project involves getting your build
80 host ready.
81 If you have a native Linux machine that runs a Yocto Project
82 supported distribution as described by the
83 "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#detailed-supported-distros'>Supported Linux Distributions</ulink>"
84 section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual, you can prepare
85 that machine as your build host.

88 section for more information.
89 </para>

91 <para>
92 If you do not want to use the Yocto Project on a native Linux

205 If your build host does not meet any of these three listed

207 system so that you can still use the Yocto Project.
208 See the

215 <title>The Build Host Packages</title>
216
217 <para>
218 Required build host packages vary depending on your
219 build machine and what you want to do with the Yocto Project.
220 For example, if you want to build an image that can run
221 on QEMU in graphical mode (a minimal, basic build
222 requirement), then the build host package requirements
223 are different than if you want to build an image on a headless
224 system or build out the Yocto Project documentation set.
225 </para>
226
227 <para>
228 Collectively, the number of required packages is large
229 if you want to be able to cover all cases.
230 <note>
231 In general, you need to have root access and then install
232 the required packages.
233 Thus, the commands in the following section may or may
234 not work depending on whether or not your Linux
235 distribution has <filename>sudo</filename> installed.
236 </note>
237 </para>
238
239 <para>
240 The following list shows the required packages needed to build
241 an image that runs on QEMU in graphical mode (e.g. essential

314 Now that your build host has the right packages (native
315 Linux machine) or you have the Poky container set up
316 (CROPS), you need to get a copy of the Yocto Project.
317 It is recommended that you get the latest Yocto Project release
318 by setting up (cloning in
319 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#git'>Git</ulink> terms) a
320 local copy of the <filename>poky</filename> Git repository on
321 your build host and then checking out the latest release.
322 Doing so allows you to easily update to newer Yocto Project
323 releases as well as contribute back to the Yocto Project.

326 <para>
327 Here is an example from a native Linux machine that is

333 The following example clones the <filename>poky</filename>
334 repository and then checks out the latest Yocto Project Release

349 <para>
350 The previous Git <filename>checkout</filename> command
351 creates a local branch named
352 <filename>poky_&DISTRO;</filename>.
353 The files available to you in that branch exactly match the
354 repository's files in the
355 <filename>&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</filename>
356 development branch at the time of the Yocto Project &DISTRO;
357 release.
358 <note>
359 Rather than checking out the entire development branch
360 of a release (i.e. the tip), which could be continuously
361 changing while you are doing your development, you would
362 check out a branch based on a release tag as shown in
363 the previous example.
364 Doing so provides you with an unchanging, stable set of
365 files.

666 Building an image for the MinnowBoard Turbot requires
667 the

669 Use the <filename>git clone</filename> command to create
670 a local copy of the repository inside your
671 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>,
672 which is <filename>poky</filename> in this example:

683 </literallayout>
684 By default when you clone a Git repository, the
685 "master" branch is checked out.
686 Before you build your image that uses the
687 <filename>meta-intel</filename> layer, you must be
688 sure that both repositories
689 (<filename>meta-intel</filename> and
690 <filename>poky</filename>) are using the same releases.
691 Because you used the <filename>&DISTRO_REL_TAG;</filename>
692 tag when you checked out the <filename>poky</filename>
693 repository by tag, you should use a
694 <filename>meta-intel</filename>
695 tag that corresponds with the release you used for
696 <filename>poky</filename>.
697 Consequently, you need to checkout out the
698 "<filename>&METAINTELVERSION;-&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-&YOCTO_DOC_VERSION;</filename>"
699 branch after cloning <filename>meta-intel</filename>:
700 <literallayout class='monospaced'>

705 The previous Git <filename>checkout</filename> command
706 creates a local branch named
707 <filename>meta-intel-&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-&YOCTO_DOC_VERSION;</filename>.
708 You have the option to name your local branch whatever

754 The type of image you build depends on your goals.
755 For example, the previous build created a

758 It is possible to build many image types for the

760 Some possibilities are <filename>core-image-base</filename>,
761 which is a console-only image.
762 Another choice could be a

764 another console-only image but has more full-features
765 Linux system functionality installed.
766 For types of images you can build using the Yocto

768 "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-images'>Images</ulink>"
769 chapter in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.</para>
770 <para>Because configuration changes are minimal to set up
771 for this second build, the OpenEmbedded build system can
772 re-use files from previous builds as much as possible.
773 Re-using files means this second build will be much faster

59 Welcome to the Yocto Project!
60 The Yocto Project is an open-source collaboration project whose
61 focus is developers of embedded Linux systems.
62 Among other things, the Yocto Project uses a build host based
63 on the OpenEmbedded (OE) project, which uses the
64 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#bitbake-term'>BitBake</ulink>
65 tool, to construct complete Linux images.
66 The BitBake and OE components combine together to form
67 a reference build host, historically known as
68 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#poky'>Poky</ulink>
69 (<emphasis>Pah</emphasis>-kee).
70 </para>
71 169
72 <para> 170 <xi:include href="qs.xml"/>
73 This quick start is written so that you can quickly get a
74 build host set up to use the Yocto Project and then build some
75 Linux images.
76 Rather than go into great detail about the Yocto Project and its
77 many capabilities, this quick start provides the minimal
78 information you need to try out the Yocto Project using either a
79 supported Linux build host or a build host set up to use
80 <ulink url='https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/crops/about/'>CROPS</ulink>,
81 which leverages
82 <ulink url='https://www.docker.com/'>Docker Containers</ulink>.

86 Reading and using the quick start should result in you having a 173 <title>Index</title>
87 basic understanding of what the Yocto Project is and how to use 174 </index>
88 some of its core components.
89 You will also have worked through steps to produce two images:
90 one that runs on the emulator (QEMU) and one that boots on actual
91 hardware (i.e. MinnowBoard Turbot).
92 The examples highlight the ease with which you can use the
93 Yocto Project to create images for multiple types of hardware.

319 For example, if you want to build an image that can run

416 It is recommended that you get the latest Yocto Project release
417 by setting up (cloning in
418 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#git'>Git</ulink> terms) a
419 local copy of the <filename>poky</filename> Git repository on
420 your build host and then checking out the latest release.

458 Rather than checking out the entire development branch
459 of a release (i.e. the tip), which could be continuously

744 <para id='qs-minnowboard-example'>
745 The following steps show how easy it is to set up to build an
746 image for a new machine.
747 These steps build an image for the MinnowBoard Turbot, which is
748 supported by the Yocto Project and the
749 <filename>meta-intel</filename> <filename>intel-corei7-64</filename>
750 and <filename>intel-core2-32</filename> Board Support Packages
751 (BSPs).
752 <note>
753 The MinnowBoard Turbot ships with 64-bit firmware.
754 If you want to use the board in 32-bit mode, you must
755 download the
756 <ulink url='http://firmware.intel.com/projects/minnowboard-max'>32-bit firmware</ulink>.

763 <emphasis>Create a Local Copy of the
764 <filename>meta-intel</filename> Repository:</emphasis>
765 Building an image for the MinnowBoard Turbot requires
766 the
767 <filename>meta-intel</filename> layer.
768 Use the <filename>git clone</filename> command to create
769 a local copy of the repository inside your
770 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>,
771 which is <filename>poky</filename> in this example:
772 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
773 $ cd $HOME/poky
774 $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel
775 Cloning into 'meta-intel'...
776 remote: Counting objects: 14039, done.
777 remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4471/4471), done.
778 remote: Total 14039 (delta 8130), reused 13837 (delta 7947)
779 Receiving objects: 100% (14039/14039), 4.27 MiB | 3.98 MiB/s, done.
780 Resolving deltas: 100% (8130/8130), done.
781 Checking connectivity... done.
782 </literallayout>
783 By default when you clone a Git repository, the
784 "master" branch is checked out.
785 Before you build your image that uses the
786 <filename>meta-intel</filename> layer, you must be
787 sure that both repositories
788 (<filename>meta-intel</filename> and
789 <filename>poky</filename>) are using the same releases.
790 Because you used the <filename>&DISTRO_REL_TAG;</filename>
791 tag when you checked out the <filename>poky</filename>
792 repository by tag, you should use a
793 <filename>meta-intel</filename>
794 tag that corresponds with the release you used for
795 <filename>poky</filename>.
796 Consequently, you need to checkout out the
797 "<filename>&METAINTELVERSION;-&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-&YOCTO_DOC_VERSION;</filename>"
798 branch after cloning <filename>meta-intel</filename>:
799 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
800 $ cd $HOME/poky/meta-intel
801 $ git checkout tags/&METAINTELVERSION;-&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-&YOCTO_DOC_VERSION; -b meta-intel-&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-&YOCTO_DOC_VERSION;
802 Switched to a new branch 'meta-intel-&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-&YOCTO_DOC_VERSION;'
803 </literallayout>
804 The previous Git <filename>checkout</filename> command
805 creates a local branch named
806 <filename>meta-intel-&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-&YOCTO_DOC_VERSION;</filename>.
807 You have the option to name your local branch whatever
808 you want by providing any name you like for
809 "meta-intel-&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-&YOCTO_DOC_VERSION;"
810 in the above example.

813 <emphasis>Configure the Build:</emphasis>
814 To configure the build, you edit the
815 <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> and
816 <filename>local.conf</filename> files, both of which are
817 located in the <filename>build/conf</filename> directory.
818 </para>
819
820 <para>Here is a quick way to make the edits.
821 The first command uses the
822 <filename>bitbake-layers add-layer</filename> command
823 to add the <filename>meta-intel</filename>
824 layer, which contains the <filename>intel-core*</filename>
825 BSPs to the build.
826 The second command selects the BSP by setting the
827 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></ulink>
828 variable.
829 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
830 $ cd $HOME/poky/build

851 <emphasis>Build an Image for MinnowBoard
852 Turbot:</emphasis>
853 The type of image you build depends on your goals.
854 For example, the previous build created a
855 <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image, which is an
856 image with Sato support.
857 It is possible to build many image types for the
858 MinnowBoard Turbot.
859 Some possibilities are <filename>core-image-base</filename>,
860 which is a console-only image.
861 Another choice could be a
862 <filename>core-image-full-cmdline</filename>, which is
863 another console-only image but has more full-features
864 Linux system functionality installed.
865 For types of images you can build using the Yocto
866 Project, see the
867 "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-images'>Images</ulink>"
868 chapter in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.</para>
869 <para>Because configuration changes are minimal to set up
870 for this second build, the OpenEmbedded build system can
871 re-use files from previous builds as much as possible.
872 Re-using files means this second build will be much faster
873 than an initial build.
874 For this example, the <filename>core-image-base</filename>
875 image is built:
876 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
877 $ bitbake core-image-base
878 </literallayout>
879 <note>
880 <para>
881 If you experience a build error due to resources
882 temporarily being unavailable and it appears you
883 should not be having this issue, it might be due
884 to the combination of a 4.3+ Linux kernel and
885 <filename>systemd</filename> version 228+
886 (i.e. see this
887 <ulink url='http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/253903/creating-threads-fails-with-resource-temporarily-unavailable-with-4-3-kernel'>link</ulink>

918 <listitem><para>
919 <emphasis>Write the Image:</emphasis>
920 You can write the image just built to a bootable media
921 (e.g. a USB key, SATA drive, SD card, etc.) using the
922 <filename>dd</filename> utility:
923 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
924 $ sudo dd if=tmp/deploy/images/intel-corei7-64/core-image-base-intel-corei7-64.wic of=TARGET_DEVICE
925 </literallayout>
926 In the previous command, the
927 <filename>TARGET_DEVICE</filename> is the device node in
928 the host machine (e.g. <filename>/dev/sdc</filename>, which
929 is most likely a USB stick, or
930 <filename>/dev/mmcblk0</filename>, which is most likely an
931 SD card).

933 <listitem><para>
934 <emphasis>Boot the Hardware:</emphasis>
935 With the boot device provisioned, you can insert the
936 media into the MinnowBoard Turbot and boot the hardware.
937 The board should automatically detect the media and boot to
938 the bootloader and subsequently the operating system.
939 </para>
940
941 <para>If the board does not boot automatically, you can
942 boot it manually from the EFI shell as follows:
943 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
944 Shell> connect -r
945 Shell> map -r
946 Shell> fs0:
947 Shell> bootx64
