Introducing the Yocto Project Overall Goals

Unify the embedded Linux development experience by providing consistent, interoperable tools, metadata, & processes on all popular architectures (ARM, Intel, MIPS, PowerPC) Respond to the needs of embedded systems developers Provide upstream resources for commercial providers Encourage community involvement Maintain community relationships Test thoroughly & provide nightly build structure Release on 6-month cadence

Development Process Build System Components

BitBake: build engine, follows metadata instructions Metadata: instructions for BitBake (recipes, classes, config files) OpenEmbedded Core: core set of metadata for OE-based systems Poky: a reference build system for the Yocto Project: includes BitBake & OpenEmbedded Core, produces reference distro Package: software component in a package format Image: final build output, often a kernel and root filesystem Recipe: instructions on how to build a package Layer: set of related recipes intended to fit alongside other layers Cross-development tools or cross-compiler: tools that provide binary output for a different architecture from the one they run on Toolchain: compiler, debugger, binary utilites, etc. designed to work together for a specific architecture BSP: board support package, contains hardware-specific drivers and other components for a specific architecture, board, or chipset

Development Process Build System Components: BitBake

Build engine, originally derived from Portage Relatively simple, highly configurable Operates on metadata Sequentially steps through tasks Maintainership shared with OpenEmbedded

15

Development Process Build System Components: Layers

openembedded-core
Core classes and image recipes QEMU-emulated machine definitions Maintainership shared with OpenEmbedded

linux-yocto
Stable kernel at release time; moving to LTSI kernel

BSP layers
meta-intel: Intel processors and SoCs meta-ti: Texas Instruments boards meta-freescale: Freescale iMx development boards

Feature layers
meta-ivi meta-rt

Many more (see git.yoctoproject.org)

Getting Started Download

Tarball (packaged release):
$ wget http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/\ yocto-1.2/poky-denzil-7.0.tar.bz2 $ tar xjf poky-denzil-7.0.tar.bz2

Git (tip of master branch):

$ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git

Getting Started Configure Your Environment

Install required packages (Ubuntu shown):
$ sudo apt-get install sed wget subversion git-core coreutils \ unzip texi2html texinfo libsdl1.2-dev docbook-utils fop gawk \ python-pysqlite2 diffstat make gcc build-essential xsltproc \ g++ desktop-file-utils chrpath libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev \ autoconf automake groff libtool xterm libxml-parser-perl

Set up environment variables:

$ cd poky-denzil-7.0 $ ./oe-init-build-env ### Shell environment set up for builds. ###You can now run 'bitbake <target> Common targets are: core-image-minimal core-image-sato meta-toolchain . . .

Getting Started Configure the Image

# This file is your local configuration file and is where all local user settings # are placed. The comments in this file give some guide to the options a new user ... # Parallelism Options # # These two options control how much parallelism BitBake should use. The first # option determines how many tasks bitbake should run in parallel: # BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "8" # # The second option controls how many processes make should run in parallel when # running compile tasks: # PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 8" ... # This sets the default machine to be qemux86 if no other machine is selected: MACHINE ??= "qemux86"
