Yocto 2.2 Morty BSP Layer for Per Vices SDRs

This branch is not an official release branch and is only used for developing and testing purposes.
You can use this branch to build an SD card image that will work for Crimson, Cyan, and Chestnut from scrach. It's also very easy to customize the image to fit your end applications.

Before you start

If you are not familiar with Yocto, you can refer to Yocto Quick Start Guide, Yocto Project Reference Manual, and Yocto Project Mega Manual to help setup the required software components.
This guide assumes you already have all the required packages installed to start using Yocto.
Note this manual only works for Yocto 2.2.
Note this manual is currently not compatible with all versions of Crimson, please contact Per Vices before trying to generate a new image.
Note You need at least 50GB of disk space before attempting to build an SD card image

Common Steps for Crimson, Cyan, and Chestnut

Step 1 Clone the poky repository

git clone -b morty git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git

Step 2 Clone the meta-linaro repository

git -C poky clone -b morty git://git.linaro.org/openembedded/meta-linaro.git

Step 3 Clone the meta-openembedded repository

git -C poky clone -b morty https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git

Step 4 Clone the meta-altera repository

git -C poky clone -b angstrom-v2016.12-yocto2.2 https://github.com/pervices/meta-altera.git

Step 5 Clone the meta-angstrom repository

git -C poky clone -b angstrom-v2016.12-yocto2.2 https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-angstrom.git

Step 6 Clone the meta-nodejs repository

git -C poky clone -b morty https://github.com/imyller/meta-nodejs.git
git -C poky clone -b morty https://github.com/imyller/meta-nodejs-contrib.git

Step 7 Clone the meta-pervices repository

git -C poky clone -b master https://github.com/pervices/meta-pervices.git

Step 8 Setup the build environment

source poky/oe-init-build-env ./build/

Step 9 Copy over the common configuration file

cp ../poky/meta-pervices/build-config/bblayers.conf conf/

For Crimson only

Step 10 Copy over the configuration file for Crimson

cp ../poky/meta-pervices/build-config/crimson-rtm9.conf conf/local.conf

Optional: You may want to edit the following lines in local.conf based on the number of available CPU cores and threads

BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= "8"
PARALLEL_MAKE ?= "-j 8"

Step 11 Build the SD card image for Crimson

bitbake crimson-rtm9

Step 12 Retrieve the SD card image

Once the build is finished successfully, the SD card image can be retrieved from the following path:

tmp/deploy/images/crimson/sdimage-crimson.wic

For Cyan only

Step 10 Copy over the configuration file for Cyan

cp ../poky/meta-pervices/build-config/cyan.conf conf/local.conf

Optional: You may want to edit the following lines in local.conf based on the number of available CPU cores and threads

BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= "8"
PARALLEL_MAKE ?= "-j 8"

Step 11 Build the SD card image for Cyan

bitbake 4r4t-1g-rtm5

Step 12 Retrieve the SD card image

Once the build is finished successfully, the SD card image can be retrieved from the following path:

tmp/deploy/images/cyan/sdimage-cyan-4r4t-1g-rtm5.wic

For Chestnut only

Step 10 Copy over the configuration file for Chestnut

cp ../poky/meta-pervices/build-config/chestnut.conf conf/local.conf

Optional: You may want to edit the following lines in local.conf based on the number of available CPU cores and threads

BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= "8"
PARALLEL_MAKE ?= "-j 8"

Step 11 Build the SD card image for Chestnut

bitbake chestnut-4r4t-500M-rtm1

Step 12 Retrieve the SD card image

Once the build is finished successfully, the SD card image can be retrieved from the following path:

tmp/deploy/images/chestnut/sdimage-chestnut-4r4t-500M-rtm1.wic
