Remove older platform specific BSPs
The intel-core* BSPs supercede these older BSPs therefore it's time
to remove these older platform specific bsps.
Bump LAYERVERSION to 3 to allow the Autobuilder to know that these
BSPs have been removed.

1 | This README file contains information on building the meta-emenlow | ||
2 | BSP layer using any of the supported machine configurations, and | ||
3 | booting the images contained in the /binary directory. | ||
4 | |||
5 | The 'eMenlow' platform consists of the Intel Atom Z5xx processor, | ||
6 | plus the Intel US15W System Controller Hub. | ||
7 | |||
8 | Further information on the platform supported by this BSP can be | ||

17 | If you're only interested in booting the images in the /binary | ||
18 | directory of a BSP tarball you've downloaded, there's nothing special | ||
19 | to do - the appropriate images are already in the /binary directory | ||
20 | depending on which BSP tarball you downloaded. | ||
21 | |||

69 | I. Building the meta-emenlow BSP layer | ||
70 | ======================================= | ||
71 | |||
72 | In order to build an image with BSP support for a given release, you | ||
73 | need to download the corresponding BSP tarball from the 'Board Support | ||
74 | Package (BSP) Downloads' page of the Yocto Project website. | ||
75 | |||
76 | Having done that, and assuming you extracted the BSP tarball contents | ||
77 | at the top-level of your yocto build tree, you can build an emenlow | ||
78 | image by adding the location of the meta-emenlow layer to | ||
79 | bblayers.conf, along with the meta-intel layer itself (to access | ||
80 | common metadata shared between BSPs) e.g.: | ||
81 | |||
82 | yocto/meta-intel \ | ||
83 | yocto/meta-intel/meta-emenlow \ | ||
84 | |||
85 | The meta-emenlow layer contains support for emenlow-noemgd machine | ||
86 | configuration. The previously supported emenlow machine with the | ||
87 | proprietary EMGD graphics driver has been retired. The 'emenlow-noemgd' | ||
88 | machine configuration uses the open source 'gma500' kernel DRM driver | ||
89 | along with the 'modesetting' X driver. | ||
90 | |||
91 | To enable the layer add the following to the local.conf file: | ||
92 | |||
93 | MACHINE ?= "emenlow-noemgd" | ||
94 | |||
95 | You should then be able to build an emenlow image as such: | ||
96 | |||
97 | $ source oe-init-build-env | ||
98 | $ bitbake core-image-sato | ||
99 | |||
100 | At the end of a successful build, you should have a live image that | ||
101 | you can boot from a USB flash drive (see instructions on how to do | ||
102 | that below, in the section 'Booting the images from /binary'). | ||
103 | |||
104 | As an alternative to downloading the BSP tarball, you can also work | ||
105 | directly from the meta-intel git repository. For each BSP in the | ||
106 | 'meta-intel' repository, there are multiple branches, one | ||
107 | corresponding to each major release starting with 'laverne' (0.90), in | ||
108 | addition to the latest code which tracks the current master (note that | ||
109 | not all BSPs are present in every release). Instead of extracting a | ||
110 | BSP tarball at the top level of your yocto build tree, you can | ||
111 | equivalently check out the appropriate branch from the meta-intel | ||
112 | repository at the same location. | ||
113 | |||
114 | |||
115 | II. Booting the images in /binary | ||
116 | ================================= | ||
117 | |||
118 | This BSP contains bootable live images, which can be used to directly | ||
119 | boot Yocto off of a USB flash drive. | ||
120 | |||
121 | Under Linux, insert a USB flash drive. Assuming the USB flash drive | ||
122 | takes device /dev/sdf, use dd to copy the live image to it. For | ||
123 | example: | ||
124 | |||
125 | # dd if=core-image-sato-emenlow-noemgd.hddimg of=/dev/sdf | ||
126 | # sync | ||
127 | # eject /dev/sdf | ||
128 | |||
129 | This should give you a bootable USB flash device. Insert the device | ||
130 | into a bootable USB socket on the target, and power on. This should | ||
131 | result in a system booted to the Sato graphical desktop. | ||
132 | |||
133 | If you want a terminal, use the arrows at the top of the UI to move to | ||
134 | different pages of available applications, one of which is named | ||
135 | 'Terminal'. Clicking that should give you a root terminal. | ||
136 | |||
137 | If you want to ssh into the system, you can use the root terminal to | ||
138 | ifconfig the IP address and use that to ssh in. The root password is | ||
139 | empty, so to log in type 'root' for the user name and hit 'Enter' at | ||
140 | the Password prompt: and you should be in. | ||
141 | |||
142 | ---- | ||
143 | |||
144 | If you find you're getting corrupt images on the USB (it doesn't show | ||
145 | the syslinux boot: prompt, or the boot: prompt contains strange | ||
146 | characters), try doing this first: | ||
147 | |||
148 | # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf bs=1M count=512 | ||
