Yocto-Julia Demo Distros

This is in development and not all aspects have been completed!

Reference/demo distribution for various embedded platforms using Yocto Project tools and the meta-julia BSP layer.

The following processors have been tested:

Brand	Board	Status
NVIDIA Jetson	AGX Xavier	Can install Julia Language. GPU is functional with CUDA.jl
Raspberry Pi	Pi4 B	Untested
Pine64	Quartz64 B	Untested

Prerequisites

See the Yocto Project Quick Build documentation for information on setting up your build host.

For burning SDcards, the bmap-tools package is recommended.

Setting up

Clone this repository:

 $ git clone https://github.com/NickMcSweeney/yocto-julia-distros.git

Change to the appropriate sub-directory for your device.

Initialize the git submodules:

 $ cd nvidia-jetson
 $ git submodule update --init

Source the setup-env script to create a build directory, specifying the MACHINE you want to configure as the default for your builds. For example, to set up a build directory called build that is set up for the Jetson AGX Xavier developer kit and the default juliademo distro:
```
 $ . ./setup-env --machine jetson-agx-xavier-devkit
```
You can get a complete list of available options, MACHINE names, and DISTRO names with
```
 $ . ./setup-env --help
```
Optional: Install pre-commit hook for commit autosigning using $ ./scripts-setup/setup-git-hooks

Distributions

Use the --distro option with setup-env to specify a distribution for your build, or customize the DISTRO setting in your $BUILDDIR/conf/local.conf to reference one of the supported distributions.

Currently supported distributions are listed below:

Distribution name	Description
juliademo	Default distro used to demonstrate/test meta-julia language install
juliapkgdemo	Default distro used to demonstrate/test meta-julia language & julia package/application install
