How to build Yocto project image

[petertseng]

Hi i.MX Community,

I download  Freescale Yocto Project:

$ mkdir fsl-release-bsp
$ cd fsl-release-bsp
$ repo init -u git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-4.1.15-1.0.0_ga
$ repo sync

I need to build an image that does not used GUI or QT5.

But the document (Freescale_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide.pdf) only provides how to build X11 and QT5 image.

How to build a sample image?  (like core-image-minimal or core-image-base)

Hope for your help!

Regards,

[lilleli]

Hi i.MX Community,

 I build yocto image ,below erro!

[anjojohn]

please check if the u-boot image has been build under the directory

build/tmp/deploy/images/

Have you modified the core-image-minimal.bb file ? please list the modification if had done any

[petertseng]

Hi John,

The UBOOT is not in this directory (build/tmp/deploy/images/).

I have added in local.conf file:

UBOOT_CONFIG = "emmc"

[anjojohn]

Please build the u-boot, "bitbake u-boot".

has the "emmc" configuration for uboot is present ?

[petertseng]

Hi John,

There are still some errors.

Hi Peter,

After "bitbake u-boot" command, Is the u-boot binary

(u-boot-imx6qsabresd.imx) present in build/tmp/deploy//images ?

And the emmc configuration for u-boot is it present ?

[petertseng]

Hi John,

After I removed
UBOOT_CONFIG = "emmc"
get the following results

But in the "build/tmp/deploy/images/" directory does not UBOOT image.

Regards,

[anjojohn]

Your build is complete. I guess the u-boot configuration for emmc is not

present.

u-boot binary is in your "build/tmp/deploy/<machine-name>/images"

directory

[petertseng]

Hi John,

I found the U-BOOT image link file in this path:

build/tmp/deploy/images/imx6qsabresd/u-boot.imx

If I want to recompile it also need to download from the Internet?

[anjojohn]

No need to download again. The downloaded source will be in your download/ directory. No internet will be needed after first compilation.

For cleaning

 bitbake -c clean u-boot

or

bitbake-c cleansstate uboot  

Then make the u-boot again.

[petertseng]

Hi John,

If I successfully build the image file in the ubuntu 14.04.1  machine needs to execute command:

    $ bitbake u-boot

Now, I can successfully build the image file in the ubuntu 14.04.4 machine.

But I do not need additional execute this command.

What is the difference between these two ubuntu versions?

Which version do you recommend to build?

Regards,

[anjojohn]

Hi Peter,

There is no difference, the first command

bitbake u-boot

tells bitbake to make only u-boot, no other packages. This command is used

when you want to recompile u-boot after some modification.

On the other hand bitbkake core-image-minimal tells bitbake to make a

target which is an entire working build including u-boot, kernel and rootfs

with programs.

u-boot is a recipe and core-image-minimal is a target name.

[anjojohn]

Hi Peter,

Please see the .bb files for core-image-minimal and fsl-image-multimedia.

make a new target image with your name project name. Inherit the core-image-minimal bb file and add your additional packages through "CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL" or adding those to the local.conf file in your build directory. 

[petertseng]

Hi John,

Can you please provide a detailed method of operation?

[anjojohn]

Hi Peter,

In my target bb file i have like

inherit core-image

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += " \
packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer \
packagegroup-fsl-tools-gpu \
packagegroup-fslc-gstreamer1.0 \

this will not contain the x11 or wayland. please take a look at the 

meta-fsl-demos/recipes-fsl/images/fsl-image-multimedia.bb

[petertseng]

Hi John,

Where is the .bb files for core-image-minimal and fsl-image-multimedia?
