OpenEmbedded / Angstrom : build from sourcesHow to build Angstrom for AT91Note that building an entire distribution is a long process. It also requires a big amount of free disk space ; at least :
This documentation is largely inspired by the following resources :
To build the binary found in the OpenEmbeddedAngstromGet page, you will have to go through the following steps. Pre-requiresHere are the reference pages for setting up an OpenEmbedded building environment.
Note however that most of time, on a development host, those packages are often already installed. Building environmentA step-by-step comprehensive installation is explained in the OpenEmbedded Getting Started page. The following lines have to be considered as an add-on that is AT91 specific or that can facilitate your setup. Have a look at the OEDirectoryTree to figure out what your working environment tree will look like. In the following procedure, each time we speak about the base directory, we refer to the Getting BitBakeTake it through the BitBake build tool website and take the latest archive tarball. follow the advice: simply install it in your OEDirectoryTree and make a generic link: tar xvzf bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz ln -s bitbake-1.8.18 bitbake Getting OpenEmbeddedOnce in your OEDirectoryTree, download a snapshot of the OpenEmbedded database using the GIT Souce Code Management tool. git clone git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded openembeddedor using HTTP protocol: git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/openembedded.git openembedded
Then create a local branch based on OpenEmbedded cd openembedded git checkout -b stable_2009_mybranch origin/stable/2009 cd .. For demo root filesystems available in the GettingStarted page, we used the following commit ID : AT91 OpenEmbedded overlay treeIn addition to the upstream recipes, we also have a set of our own recipes or modifications of the original ones. So, the following overlay tree will modify current OE original recipes.
Then download and install the overlay tree archive, be sure to be in your OEDirectoryTree and: wget ftp://ftp.linux4sam.org/pub/oe/linux4sam_x.y/oe_at91sam.tgz tar xvzf oe_at91sam.tgz This archive contains the configuration files, recipes that will overload the original ones from the OpenEmbedded project. The Setup local configurationThe local configuration is located in
MACHINE ?= "at91sam9m10g45ek" Start buildingBe sure to always be in your OEDirectoryTree. To start the building, source the source ./oe_env.sh Then begin building the distribution with a little set of packages: bitbake base-image
The console and graphical images are built using the following recipes respectively: bitbake console-at91sam9-image bitbake x11-at91sam9-image Or for AT91SAM9M10 based boards: bitbake x11-at91sam9m10-imageThis will allow you to take advantage of video features of this chip. This image will include kernel and Gstreamer components needed to use the hardware video decoder. Tips & tricksOE Link collectionFrom the BUG community, here is a very good link collection : Wonder how to customize an OpenEmbedded building based on AT91 SOCs? Here is a simple and clear step by step blog: BitBakeBitBake usage:http://www.uv-ac.de/openembedded/openembedded-3.html#ss3.2 BitBake User Manual list tasks provided by a package: bitbake -c listtasks <package_name>You can use one of those tasks to have a fine grained control over the package building.
