How to build

Build image

  1. Create a directory and switch to it
    Warning! Yocto builds require a lot of disk space (up to 100 GB). Make sure you have got enough before starting the build. 
    mkdir build || exit
cd build
WORK=`pwd`
echo $WORK
  2. Clone basic Yocto layers: 
    cd $WORK
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
git clone git://git.linaro.org/openembedded/meta-linaro.git
git clone git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
git clone git://github.com/renesas-rcar/meta-renesas
git clone git://github.com/CogentEmbedded/meta-rcar.git
  3. Switch to proper branches/commits
    1. For BSP v2.19.0 
      cd $WORK/poky
git checkout -b tmp yocto-2.1.2
cd $WORK/meta-openembedded
git checkout -b tmp 55c8a76da5dc099a7bc3838495c672140cedb78e
cd $WORK/meta-linaro
git checkout -b tmp 2f51d38048599d9878f149d6d15539fb97603f8f
cd $WORK/meta-renesas
git checkout -b tmp 95cb48ba09bc7e55fd549817e3e26723409e68d5
cd $WORK/meta-rcar
git checkout -b v2.19.0 remotes/origin/v2.19.0

    Another versions are not tested for compatibility. Legacy BSP instruction can be found here R-Car Kingfisher legacy

  4. Apply Linaro-GCC patch file: 
    cd $WORK/meta-renesas
export PATCH_DIR=meta-rcar-gen3/docs/sample/patch/patch-for-linaro-gcc
patch -p1 < ${PATCH_DIR}/0001-rcar-gen3-add-readme-for-building-with-Linaro-Gcc.patch
unset PATCH_DIR
  5. Unzip downloaded proprietary driver modules to $WORK/proprietary folder.
    You should see the following files:
    1. For Yocto v2.19.0 
      $ ls -1 $WORK/proprietary
R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_for_Linux-20170427.zip
R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_of_Linux_Drivers-20170427.zip
  6. Populate meta-renesas with proprietary software packages. 
    export PKGS_DIR=$WORK/proprietary
cd $WORK/meta-renesas
sh meta-rcar-gen3/docs/sample/copyscript/copy_evaproprietary_softwares.sh -f $PKGS_DIR
unset PKGS_DIR
  7. Setup build environment 
    cd $WORK
source poky/oe-init-build-env
  8. Prepare default configuration files. 
    cp $WORK/meta-renesas/meta-rcar-gen3/docs/sample/conf/m3ulcb/linaro-gcc/mmp/*.conf ./conf/
cd $WORK/build
cp conf/local-wayland.conf conf/local.conf
  9. Edit $WORK/build/conf/local.conf to enable/disable graphics and multimedia proprietary drivers support
  10. Edit local.conf with evaluation packages requirements:
    1. For Yocto v2.19.0 (to enable EVA_ prefix during packages install) 
      DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " use_eva_pkg"
  11. Add layer meta-rcar 
    bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-rcar/meta-rcar-gen3-adas
  12. Start the build 
    bitbake core-image-weston
  13. Building image can take up to a few hours depending on your host system performance.
    After the build has been completed successfully, you should see the output similar to: 
    NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 4704 tasks of which 31 didn't need to be rerun and all succeeded.

    and the command prompt should return.

  14. Bitbake has generated all the necessary files in ./tmp/deploy/images directory.
    You can verify its content: 
    $ ls -1 `find ./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/ -maxdepth 1 -type l -print`
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/core-image-weston-m3ulcb.cpio.gz
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/core-image-weston-m3ulcb.ext4
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/core-image-weston-m3ulcb.manifest
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/core-image-weston-m3ulcb.tar.bz2
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/Image
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/Image-m3ulcb.bin
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/Image-r8a7796-m3ulcb-kf.dtb
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/modules-m3ulcb.tgz
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/u-boot.bin
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/u-boot-elf-m3ulcb.srec
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/u-boot-elf.srec
./tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/u-boot-m3ulcb.bin

    Image is a Kernel image, *.dtb is a blob file, core-image-weston-m3ulcb.tar.bz2 is the rootfs, modules-m3ulcb.tgz are kernel modules.

  15. You can now proceed with running Yocto images

After all these steps you can start working with boards and apps.

Build SDK

After building image run this command to build SDK 

bitbake core-image-weston -c populate_sdk

After build success the SDK installation script must appears in ./tmp/deploy/sdk directory: 

 tmp/deploy/sdk/poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-weston-aarch64-toolchain-2.1.2.sh

To install SDK run this command and follow instructions on the screen: 

./tmp/deploy/sdk/poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-weston-aarch64-toolchain-2.1.2.sh
