Yocto Dunfell
Currently under Test/Development
The Seco Yocto Dunfell release is derived from the Garz & Fricke GIT-project.
As part of Garz & Fricke Group, we share GIT repositories between Garz & Fricke GmbH and Seco with their own branches,
which are synchronized on regular basis.
meta-guf-machine
This layer provides support for Garz & Fricke platforms to be used with Yocto.
This layer depends on:
GIT | Branch | |
|---|---|---|
openembedded | git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded | dunfell |
poky | git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky | dunfell |
meta-qt5 | git://code.qt.io/yocto/meta-qt5 | dunfell |
Description
These repositories contain all the source code and metadata to build images and packages for Garz & Fricke devices based on the imx6, imx6ull and imx8mm processor.
...
The Garz & Fricke manifest repository contains the so called manifest (default.xml) for the repo tool.
The manifest file contains a list of all layers and there specific revisions needed to build the image for Garz&Fricke devices, the repo tool itself reads this manifest and handles the clone and directory setup for you.
Getting started
Preparing the host system
There are some requirements to the host system.
Ubuntu 18.04.1
Tested distribution is currently Ubuntu 18.04. LTS.
ISO-Installation-Image.
This should work as virtual machine (Virtual box …) or baremetal installation.
Yocto related base software
Needed tools are listed in the yocto documentation http://docs.yoctoproject.org/brief-yoctoprojectqs/brief-yoctoprojectqs.html#compatible-linux-distribution
Execute the following commands to install them:
...
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo apt install -y quilt curl flex bison libssl-dev |
Development tools
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo apt install git minicom gdb-multiarch crossbuild-essential-armhf meld gedit nano cscope quilt qtcreator |
Install repo tool
If available the tool can also be installed from the distributions package manager.
This directly downloads the latest version from google.
| Code Block |
|---|
mkdir ~/bin # once
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo # once
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo # once
echo "export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin" >> ~/.bashrc # once
source ~/.bashrc |
Gitlab access
To download source code from gitlab the generation of a ssh key pair is needed.
SSH key for GitLab:
| Code Block |
|---|
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "name@provider.com" # use your email instead cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25529.pub (copy and add the key content to your GitLab Profile User Settings -> SSH keys) |
Local Git setup
| Code Block |
|---|
git config --global user.name "Surname Name" # use your name instead git config --global user.email name.provider.com # use your email instead |
Download yocto
The steps are to create a local build dir and use repo to download all needed files.
After that the build directory gets setup for one specific machine (imx6guf, imx6ullguf or imx8mguf) and distribution (guf-wayland)
Download source code
| Code Block |
|---|
mkdir -p ~/projects/yocto-dunfell cd ~/projects/yocto-dunfell repo init -u ssh://git@gitlab.keith-koep.com:30001/yocto/manifest.git -b kuk_dunfell repo sync |
