Building the meta-sugarbay BSP layer - II. Booting the images in /binary - - -I. Building the meta-sugarbay 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 sugarbay -image by adding the location of the meta-sugarbay 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-sugarbay \ - -To enable the sugarbay layer, add the sugarbay MACHINE to local.conf: - - MACHINE ?= "sugarbay" - -You should then be able to build a sugarbay image as such: - - $ source oe-init-build-env - $ bitbake core-image-sato - -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'). - -NOTE: The 'sugarbay' machine will include support for hardware video -acceleration via gstreamer if and only if the "commercial" string is -added to the the LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST variable in your local.conf. - -For example: - - LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial" - -The reason this is needed is to prevent the image from including -anything that might violate the license terms of the packages used to -implement the the video acceleration feature, such as gst-ffmpeg and -ffmpeg. As always, please consult the licenses included in the -specific packages for details if you use packages that require -particular LICENSE_FLAGS. - -The xf86-video-intel recipe depends on Xorg's dri and glx modules, -which are built only when 'opengl' is listed in DISTRO_FEATURES. So -if the distro doesn't list 'opengl' in the DISTRO_FEATURES, then you -would need this additional line in your local.conf: - - DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " opengl" - -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 (note that -not all BSPs are present in every release). 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-sugarbay.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 |
