1. Preparing the ENV

1.0 Checking your OS requirements

In the Yocto Reference Manual

1.1 Clonning layers

rel="dunfell"
git clone -b ${rel} git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
git clone -b ${rel} https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5.git ./poky/meta-qt5
git clone https://github.com/OpenAMP/meta-openamp.git ./poky/meta-openamp
git clone -b ${rel} git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded ./poky/meta-openembedded
git clone -b ${rel} https://github.com/tibbotech/yocto_layers.git ./poky.x
rsync -a --exclude=.git ./poky.x/ ./poky/
patch -d ./poky -p0 < ./meta-tibbo/npm.${rel}.patch
sed -i 's/"honister/"dunfell honister/g' ./poky/meta-openamp/conf/layer.conf

1.2 Pulling the updates from the GitHub

cd ./poky; rm -rf ./meta-tibbo;  rm -rf ./meta-sunplus; cd ..
cd ./poky.x/;  git pull ; cd ..
rsync -a --exclude=.git ./poky.x/ ./poky/

Update your Yocto-core and Openembedded layers (optionally):

cd ./poky;
git pull
cd ./meta-openembedded; git pull; cd ..

1.3 Creating separate disk directory for build (under root account)

# install -d -m 0777 /disk2

2.0 Before builds (env initialization)

cd <subdir>/poky
source oe-init-build-env build.tppg2

2.1 Build the image

'Make sure you did 2.0 step in this console. Then:

bitbake <imagename>

Final images and parts will be placed at /disk2/build.tibbo.dunfell.0/tmp/deploy/images//

machine, distro, imagename table for IMG

machine	distro	imagename	command line	tasks / DL / HDD	comment
tpp-tppg2-arm5	tps	imgf-xboot	bitbake mc:tpp-tppg2-arm5:imgf-xboot	~2800 / 6 GB / 29 GB	Builds several versions of XBoot and A926 FW
tpp-tppg2	tps	img-tst-tini	bitbake mc::img-tst-tini	~4800 / 7 GB / 30 GB	Small CLI systemd-only image
tpp-tppg2	tin	img-tst-tini	DISTRO=tin bitbake mc::img-tst-tini	~3300 / 3 GB / 10 GB	Test: No systemd, no WiFi, no BT image
tpp-tppg2	tps	img-tps-free	bitbake mc::img-tps-free	~4950 / 7 GB / 31 GB	+ package management, gdb, tcf-agent
tpp-tppg2	tps	img-tps-base	bitbake mc::img-tps-base	~5400 / 7 GB / 32 GB	+ TiOS, TPS-WAN, other closed-source apps
tpp-tppg2	tps	img-tps-repo	bitbake mc::img-tps-repo	~9900 / 12 GB / 40 GB	Packages free + private collection
tppg2, -arm5	tps	imgm-spmn	bitbake imgm-spmn	~7700 / 7 GB / 60 GB	img-tst-tini + img-tps-free + imgf-xboot
tppg2, -arm5	tps	imgm-spmt	bitbake imgm-spmt	~8100 / 7 GB / 61 GB	img-tst-tini + img-tps-base + imgf-xboot
qemux86-64	tps	imgm-spba	bitbake imgm-spba	~7000 / ? GB / ?? GB	BuildApplience image

2.2 Build the SDK

'Make sure you did 2.0 step in this console. Then:

bitbake -c populate_sdk <imagename>

SDK self-unpack image will be placed into /disk2/build.tibbo.dunfell.0/tmp/deploy/sdk/

cross-target, distro, imagename table for SDK

cross-target	distro	imagename	command line	comment
tpp-tppg2-arm5	tps	imgf-xboot	bitbake mc:tpp-tppg2-arm5:imgf-xboot -c populate_sdk	A926 SDK (cross-tools + libs)
tpp-tppg2	tps	img-tst-tini	bitbake mc::img-tst-tini -c populate_sdk	A7 SDK
tpp-tppg2	tps	img-tps-free	bitbake mc::img-tps-free -c populate_sdk	A7 SDK
tpp-tppg2	tps	img-tps-base	bitbake mc::img-tps-base -c populate_sdk	A7 SDK
tpp-tppg2	tps	img-tps-repo		meanless

First bitbake run is time-consuming. All subsequent builds are incremental.

Xboot + arm926 firmware is not required for ISPBOOOT assembly. Script will download this parts from Tibbo website.

After build /disk2/build.tibbo.dunfell.0/tmp/deploy/images/tppg2/ contains all required image components: bootloaders, kernel, rootfs images.

3. Assembling ISPBOOOT.BIN from built parts

Deploy dir /disk2/build.tibbo.dunfell.0/tmp/deploy/images/ contains image components:

bootloaders, kernel, rootfs images. Pack the final image:

$ cd /disk2/build.tibbo.dunfell.0/tmp/deploy/images/tppg2/
$ make -f ./sp_make.mk

ISPBOOOT.BIN will be placed at ./sp_out/

How to reduce build time and resources

1. build "img-spmo" - main CPU code only. XBoot and B-Chip firmware parts will be downloaded from Tibbo website
2. use RPM or DEB only. Configured at build.tppg2/conf/local.conf#L116:

   yocto_layers/build.tppg2/conf/local.conf

   Line 116 in a5bf3f0

   PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm package_deb"

Customizations

Bootloader and kernel source

(SunPlus private repo or GitHub public) are defined at

Components to choose:

• xboot and U-boot: for nand or emmc,
• DTB version,
• rootfs: there are several, packed to ext4, UBI and squashfs.

typo here

Hi
In the build section
. oe-init-build-env c.tppg2 should be
source oe-init-build-env c.tppg2

Is that right?

SD card image.

Does your Yocto provide image of the SD card? I have tried file ISPBOOOT.BIN from boot2linux_SDcard directory but it doesnt have valid partitions. Also other BIN files from sp_out.

xboot-helpers-native repository

xboot-helpers-native look for tibbo custom git server.

Please add the line ;

linux-sprel recipe do_patch fails

It seems it tries to patch multiple times. Especially
rpi-ovls patches.

I tried to solve but no success yet.

How can I create SD boot image?

Hi, I would like to run dunfell yocto on SD card but scripts in deploy provides only image to flash internal NAND from SD.
In Zeus there was boot2linux_SDcard folder after build.

Cloning layers procedure not up to date anymore

Last Thursday (may 19th) the openamp repo was updated to support more recent yocto releases.
gatesgarth was removed and replaced with honister and kirkstone.

so the patch line in the readme (step 1.1 Cloning layers) should be upgraded to:

sed -i 's/"honister"/"rocko sumo thud zeus dunfell gatesgarth honister kirkstone"/g' ./poky/meta-openamp/conf/layer.conf
