This layer provides support for UDOO i.mx6 family based platforms for use with OpenEmbedded and/or Yocto Freescale's BSP layers.
This layer depends on:
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core branch: master revision: HEAD
URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-fsl-arm branch: master revision: HEAD
- udoo-image-full-cmdline A command line image with SSH server support and most of the packages in this layer
- udoo-image-qt5 Providing a qt5 enabled image with a lot of Qt5 goodies. This image requires the meta-qt5 layer
By default the ECSPI_2 bus is disabled in the device tree to enable the SPI bus a device tree modification is needed. To activate this patch set this variable to enable SPI bus
ENABLE_SPI_BUS = "1"
By default both CAN bus interfaces are disabled in the device tree to enable the CAN bus a device tree modification is needed. To activate this patch set this variable to enable CAN bus
ENABLE_CAN_BUS = "1"
By default the UDOO Neo activates HDMI output. To enable the lvds7 or lvds15 this variable has to be set
VIDEO_OUTPUT = "lvds7"
Valid options are:
- hdmi The default value which activates HDMI only output
- lvds7 Support for the official LVDS7 display Kit
- lvds15 Support for the official LVDS15 display Kit
The recommended way to create a SD-Card image is the usage of the wic tool
wic create udoo-sdcard -e udoo-image-full-cmdline -o /var/tmp/wic/udooneo
The output will look like this:
Checking basic build environment...
Done.
Creating image(s)...
Info: The new image(s) can be found here:
/var/tmp/wic/udooneo/build/udoo-sdcard-201611022045-mmcblk.direct
The following build artifacts were used to create the image(s):
ROOTFS_DIR: /home/chris/src/udoo-community-bsp/build/tmp/work/udooneo-poky-linux-gnueabi/udoo-image-full-cmdline/1.0-r0/rootfs
BOOTIMG_DIR:
KERNEL_DIR: /home/chris/src/udoo-community-bsp/build/tmp/deploy/images/udooneo
NATIVE_SYSROOT: /home/chris/src/udoo-community-bsp/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux
The image(s) were created using OE kickstart file:
/home/chris/src/udoo-community-bsp/sources/meta-udoo/scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks/udoo-sdcard.wks
The UDOO boards can be configured to load the kernel, DTB and rootfilesystem over the network. This allows for faster iterations since there is no delay for writing new images to SDCards. There are many ways to accomplish this and the actual setup will depend heavily on your networking infrastructure.
One mechanism to support this is if your server supports NFS, tftp and PXE. I use a Synology DS916+ and it supports this setup. First, make sure that TFTP, NFS and PXE are enabled and that the MAC address and IP address of your target board are configured to allow access to these services. See your server OS documentation for specifics.
After your bitbake build completes, you need to copy the DTB file,
kernel image and root filesystem tar archive to your server. You will need
to select the actual filenames from your build directory based on your configuration.
On your build system:
$ scp ~/build/tmp/deploy/images/udooneo/udoo-image-full-cmdline-udooneo.tar.bz2 nas:/tftpboot/
$ scp ~/build/tmp/deploy/images/udooneo/zImage-imx6sx-udoo-neo-full.dtb nas:/tftpboot/
$ scp ~/build/tmp/deploy/images/udooneo/zImage-udooneo.bin nas:/tftpboot/
Next you will need to extract the root filesystem tar archive into a location that is exported via NFS.
On your server:
# tar -C /tftpboot/rootfs -xf /tftpboot/udoo-image-full-cmdline-udooneo.tar.bz2
Then you will need to create a PXE configuration file. This file needs to be available
over TFTP and is named based on the MAC address of your board. For instance, if your
boards MAC address is 00:11:22:33:44:55:66 then you will create a file on your server
named /tftpboot/00-11-22-33-44-55-66 with the following contents:
default menu.c32
prompt 0
timeout 300
ONTIMEOUT local

To contribute to this layer you should the patches for review to the mailing list.

When creating a patch of the last commit, use
git format-patch -s --subject-prefix='meta-udoo][PATCH' -1
To send it to the community, use
git send-email --to ch@ege.io <generated patch>
Patches are normally intended for the master branch.
Patches for other branches should be sent separately so they can be tracked individually in Patchwork and should have the branch name in brackets.
For example, use this to generate a patch for branch 'dizzy':
git format-patch -s \
--subject-prefix='meta-udoo][dizzy][PATCH' -1
