How to run a new usdpaa application?

priyaagarwal · ‎01-22-2015

I have written a new application. But I am not able to figure out how do I compile and run it. As in in which folder should I store what. Not able to find link to appropriate documentation in info-center.

Thanks.

Hello Priya Agarwal,

Please check whether the following procedure would help you.

1. In Yocto environment, run "bitbake usdpaa -c patch -f" to get usdpaa source.

2. In usdpaa source folder, you could follow "reflector" to create your application folder under apps.

Create Makefile.am in apps/<your_app>, define bin_PROGRAMS as your program name, define reflector_SOURCES as your source file, in apps/Makefile.am add your application name.

3. Rebuild usdpaa

bitbake usdpaa -c compile -f

bitbake usdpaa

4. Add "usdpaa" in variable "IMAGE_INSTALL" of meta-fsl-networking/images/fsl-image-core.bb(in the recent SDK it has been added by default), then rebuild rootfs with "bitbake fsl-image-core".

5. Boot up the system with usdpaa dtb, and after enter into Linux system, you could use your app command.

Regarding how to run your application, please refer to sections "Running reflector" and "PPAC (and reflector) CLI commands" in http://www.freescale.com/infocenter/index.jsp?topic=%2FQORIQSDK%2F2989554.html.

Have a great day,
Yiping

I got an error while compiling usdpaa. I put the app in this path:

/media/NewVolume/yocto/build_t4240qds_release/tmp/work/ppce6500-fsl_networking-linux/usdpaa/git-r5/git/apps

I ran the patch command in /media/NewVolume/yocto/build_t4240qds_release/ folder.

Are these two correct.

Error was:

ERROR: Function failed: do_compile (see /media/NewVolume/yocto/build_t4240qds_release/tmp/work/ppce6500-fsl_networking-linux/usdpaa/git-r5/temp/log.do_compile.3438 for further information)

Is something wrong with my code or I have done things in the wrong folders?

Thanks.

Hello Priya Agarwal,

Please pay attention to the following error in your building log, there is problem in your Makefile.

apps/squid/squid-3.4.10/Makefile.am:7: *** missing separator. Stop.

Thanks,

Yiping

priyaagarwal · ‎01-23-2015

The Makefile being referred to is not at all edited by me.

According to this:

Create Makefile.am in apps/<your_app>, define bin_PROGRAMS as your program name, define reflector_SOURCES as your source file, in apps/Makefile.am add your application name.

1. I have two directories in /apps/<my_app>/ which are : apps/squid/app and apps/squid/squid-3.4.10

I tried to follow ipfwd as well as reflector's files/folders.

In squid-3.4.10 folder , there is the original source-code and Makefile.am. I haven't edited them. So I dont know how it can be wrong.

The makefile i wrote myself is in apps/squid/app/ folder. I have attached it (first one). And also the one which error is referring to.

Is the error due to the fact that I am also trying to compile c++ code, as the original app is written in that.

yipingwang · ‎01-25-2015

Hello Priya Agarwal,

At line 7 of apps/squid/squid-3.4.10/Makefile.am, please try to use "ifdef" instead, it seems that the compiler treat it as a command line beginning with Tab.

if USE_LOADABLE_MODULES

SUBDIRS += libltdl

endif

SUBDIRS += scripts icons errors doc helpers src tools test-suite

Thanks,

Yiping

Thanks. That solved the problem. But I have got more errors now. They are of two types.

For apps/squid/squid-3.4.10/compat/Makefile.am:5: /src/Common.am: No such file or directory, THE 5TH LINE IS:-

include $(top_srcdir)/src/Common.am

top_srcdir is not being set. I had run ./configure in squid-3.4.10 directory before compiling. Error still persists.

Two Makefiles attached:-

1. apps/squid/squid-3.4.10/compat/Makefile.am

2. apps/squid/squid-3.4.10/lib/Makefile.am

yipingwang · ‎01-29-2015

Hello Priya Agarwal,

There is problem caused by top_srcdir including in you Makefile, please use "TOP_LEVEL" instead, please refer to apps/ipfwd, TOP_LEVEL is defined as $(shell pwd) in Makefile of usdpaa source.

Thanks,

Yiping

hello,

I think missing some parameter in Makefile.am and form ur logs its shows

ERROR: oe_runmake failed

it mean the issue seems to be with kernel compilation rather than with yocto.

oe_runmake only calls make on the kernel tree. So, can you see if building the kernel (in the build/tmp folder) manually works?

Also check the defconfig file that is used manually.

And also same time please check and verify that have you all the host environment set-up as per documentation?

Request to please refer this link once (http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html)

From above link

may this will help you,

priyaagarwal · ‎01-22-2015

Thanks.

But I am not able to understand the first step. In yocto environment means, in the yocto folder?

jaymind · ‎01-22-2015

Hello,

In Yocto env. mean in build directory of YOCTO source.

For example its name like fsl-community-....... and and into its build directory.

As you knowing about procedure.

1.

. ./setup-environment build in yocto source directory.

2. then it will automatically go into build directory after some terms and conditions accept, then after you apply command as yipingwang replied you.

e.g.

bitbake usdpaa -c patch -f

and all other.

May this will help you.

Thanks and Regards
