OE extras metalayer for DH Electronics GmbH STM32MP1 boards.

OpenEmbedded demo extras layer for DH electronics platforms

This layer provides demo extras and examples for DH electronics platforms.

Dependencies

This layer depends on:

• URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
  • branch: dunfell
  • layers: meta

Building image

A good starting point for setting up the build environment is is the official Yocto Project wiki.

• https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/3.1/brief-yoctoprojectqs/brief-yoctoprojectqs.html

Before attempting the build, the following metalayer git repositories shall be cloned into a location accessible to the build system and a branch listed below shall be checked out. The examples below will use /path/to/OE/ as a location of the metalayers.

• git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky (branch: dunfell)
• https://source.denx.de/denx/meta-mainline-common.git (branch: dunfell-3.1)

Additional optional layers handled by means of dynamic layers:

• https://github.com/dh-electronics/meta-dhsom-imx-bsp.git (branch: dunfell-3.1)
• https://github.com/dh-electronics/meta-dhsom-stm32-bsp.git (branch: dunfell-3.1)
• https://github.com/dh-electronics/meta-dhsom-extras.git (branch: dunfell-3.1)
• https://source.denx.de/denx/meta-mainline-graphics.git (branch: dunfell-3.1)
• https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git (branch: dunfell)
• git://git.openembedded.org/meta-python2 (branch: dunfell)
• https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5.git (branch: master)
• https://github.com/kraj/meta-clang (branch: dunfell)
• https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser.git (branch: master)
• git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-security (branch: dunfell)
• https://github.com/Igalia/meta-webkit.git (branch: dunfell)
• https://github.com/cazfi/meta-games.git (branch: master)

With all the source artifacts in place, proceed with setting up the build using oe-init-build-env as specified in the Yocto Project wiki.

In addition to the content in the wiki, the aforementioned metalayers shall be referenced in bblayers.conf in this order:

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  /path/to/OE/poky/meta \
  /path/to/OE/meta-python2 \
  /path/to/OE/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
  /path/to/OE/meta-openembedded/meta-networking \
  /path/to/OE/meta-openembedded/meta-perl \
  /path/to/OE/meta-openembedded/meta-python \
  /path/to/OE/meta-openembedded/meta-webserver \
  /path/to/OE/meta-qt5 \
  /path/to/OE/meta-clang \
  /path/to/OE/meta-browser/meta-chromium \
  /path/to/OE/meta-security \
  /path/to/OE/meta-webkit \
  /path/to/OE/meta-games \
  /path/to/OE/meta-mainline-common \
  /path/to/OE/meta-mainline-graphics \
  /path/to/OE/meta-dhsom-imx-bsp \
  /path/to/OE/meta-dhsom-stm32-bsp \
  /path/to/OE/meta-dhsom-extras \
  "

The following specifics should be placed into local.conf:

MACHINE = "dh-stm32mp1-dhcom-pdk2"
DISTRO = "dhlinux"

Note that MACHINE must be either of:

• dh-imx6-dhcom-pdk2 (depends on: meta-dhsom-imx-bsp)
• dh-stm32mp1-dhcom-drc02 (depends on: meta-dhsom-stm32-bsp)
• dh-stm32mp1-dhcom-pdk2 (depends on: meta-dhsom-stm32-bsp)
• dh-stm32mp1-dhcom-picoitx (depends on: meta-dhsom-stm32-bsp)
• dh-stm32mp1-dhcor-avenger96 (depends on: meta-dhsom-stm32-bsp)

Adapt the suffixes of all the files and names of directories further in this documentation according to MACHINE.

Both local.conf and bblayers.conf are included verbatim in full at the end of this readme.

Once the configuration is complete, a full demo system image suitable for evaluation can be built using:

$ bitbake dh-image-demo

Once the build completes, the images are available in:

tmp/deploy/images/dh-stm32mp1-dhcom-pdk2/

The SD card image is specifically in:

dh-image-demo-dh-stm32mp1-dhcom-pdk2.wic

And shall be written to the SD card using dd:

$ dd if=dh-image-demo-dh-stm32mp1-dhcom-pdk2.wic of=/dev/sdX bs=8M

MACHINE = "dh-stm32mp1-dhcom-pdk2"
DL_DIR = "/path/to/OE/downloads"
DISTRO ?= "dhlinux"
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm"
