The OpenEmbedded build system should be able to run on any modern distribution with the following versions for Git, tar, and Python.
Git 1.7.8 or greater.
tar 1.24 or greater.
Python 2.7.3 or greater excluding Python 3.x, which is not supported.
Note: You should also have about 50 Gbytes of free disk space for building images.
The essential packages you need for a supported Ubuntu or Debian distribution are shown in the following command
sudo apt-get install make gcc g++ diffstat texinfo chrpath gcc-multilib git gawk build-essential autoconf libtool libncurses-dev gettext gperf lib32z1 libc6-i386 g++-multilib python-git |
In order to use Yocto build system, the repo tool must be properly installed on the machine.
In order to install Repo make sure you have a /bin directory in your home directory and that it is included in your path
mkdir ~/bin PATH=~/bin:$PATH |
Download the repo tool and ensure that it is executable
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo |
Note: it is also recommended to put credentials in .netrc when interacting with repo.
A sample .netrc file is illustrated below
machine code.rdkcentral.com
login YOUR_USERNAME
password YOUR_PASSWORD
Initilaizing the Build Environment
Note: Cloning the code before login once to code.rdkcentral.com, user would get the Authentication error, even though the account is in good standing and has all the required access. Please login to code.rdkcentral.com before attempting to clone.
To build, follow below instructions
Create workspace directory
mkdir <workspace dir> cd <workspace dir> |
Follow below instructions to create build with external sources
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb-turris-pod-nosrc.xml -b rdk-next repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle MACHINE=turris-extender source meta-turris/setup-environment build-turris-ext bitbake rdk-generic-extender-image |
Else, follow below instructions to create build with no external source
repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -m rdkb-turris-pod-extsrc.xml -b rdk-next repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle MACHINE=turris-extender source meta-turris/setup-environment build-turris-ext bitbake rdk-generic-extender-image |
Note. The kernel Image and root filesystem will be placed under <workspace dir>/build-turris-ext/tmp/deploy/images/turris-extender directory
