Quick Start

# Get Poky
svn co -r5728 http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/poky/trunk poky
cd poky; export POKY=`pwd`

# Get TI's overlay
git clone git://github.com/mturquette/meta-texasinstruments.git
git checkout ddiaz/gitomapzoom

# Copy configuration
cp -p $POKY/meta-texasinstruments/conf/misc/local.conf local.conf

# Build!
cd $POKY
source poky-init-build-env
bitbake omap-image-min-gst

Step by step

Download Poky

Get Poky.

svn co -r5728 http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/poky/trunk poky
cd poky
export POKY=`pwd`

Why SVN if Poky already moved to GIT, you may ask. Well, we feel fond of that revision because we know it to work. Feel free try Poky's GIT or a newer SVN revision. In fact, you might want to take a look at Poky OMAP too.

Add Texas Instruments' overlay

cd $POKY
git clone git://github.com/mturquette/meta-texasinstruments.git
git checkout ddiaz/gitomapzoom

Configure

cd $POKY/build
cp -p $POKY/meta-texasinstruments/conf/misc/local.conf local.conf

Review the above file.

Fine tune

With newer kernels exmap complains about missing headers. For now, you can have the rest of the profiling tools by taking exmap-console and exmap-server out of "RDEPENDS_task-poky-tools-profile" in $POKY/meta/packages/tasks/task-poky-tools.bb. This is needed for a Sato image.

Build

cd $POKY
source poky-init-build-env
bitbake omap-image-min-gst

Alternatively, you can build a complete Poky Sato image:

bitbake omap-image-sato

Deploy

You can find your binaries here: $POKY/build/tmp/deploy/images/.

cd $POKY/build/tmp/deploy/images/
ls -1s
[ADD DIR LISTING HERE]

The kernel and u-boot can be copied to the boot partition on your MMC/SD card. Take the image tarball and untar it in the root partition of your MMC/SD card; also, untar the modules tarball on the root of your file system.
