Host Setup
The OpenEmbedded build system should be able to run on any modern distribution with the following versions for Git, tar, and Python.
Git 1.8.3.1 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.
Ubuntu and Debian
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
Building
In order to use Yocto build system, the repo tool must be properly installed on the machine.
Repo setup
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
#To build rdk-next follow the below build procedure
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-extsrc.xml
for ASP:
$ repo init -u https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/manifests -b rdk-next -m rdkv-asp-extsrc.xml
$ repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
Choose hybrid to build image with default compositor
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment <select option raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid.conf>
$ bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-image
for TDK-image
$ bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-tdk-image
Choose hybrid-westeros to build image with westeros compositor
$ source meta-cmf-raspberrypi/setup-environment <select option raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid-westeros.conf>
$ bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-westeros-wpe-image
for TDK-image
$ bitbake rdk-generic-hybrid-westeros-wpe-tdk-image
