The OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project BSP layer for the Radxa machines
The meta-radxa layer depends on:
URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
branch: dunfell
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
layers: meta-oe meta-networking meta-python meta-multimedia meta-gnome meta-xfce
branch: dunfell
- RockPi-4A
- RockPi-4B
- RockPi-4C
- RockPi-E
- RockPi-N10
- RockPi-PX30
- RockPi-S
- Radxa-Zero
Fetch the source using the commands given below:
~ $ mkdir yocto
~ $ cd yocto
~/yocto $ git clone --depth 1 git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky -b dunfell
~/yocto $ cd poky
~/yocto/poky $ git clone --depth 1 git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded.git -b dunfell
~/yocto/poky $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/radxa/meta-radxa.git -b dunfell
~/yocto.poky $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/YoeDistro/meta-python2.git -b dunfell
~/yocto/poky $ source oe-init-build-env
- You can simply copy the bblayers.conf.sample present in meta-radxa/conf folder to the build/conf folder and rename it to bblayers.conf
~/yocto/poky/build $ cp ../meta-radxa/conf/bblayers.conf.sample conf/bblayers.conf
OR
- Add the layers manually as given below to the bblayers.conf in the build/conf folder
${TOPDIR}/../meta \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-poky \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-yocto-bsp \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-networking \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-python \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-gnome \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-xfce \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-python2 \
${TOPDIR}/../meta-radxa \
- You can simply copy the local.conf.sample present in meta-radxa/conf folder to the build/conf folder and rename it to local.conf and uncomment the machine for which you want to build an image
~/yocto/poky/build $ cp ../meta-radxa/conf/local.conf.sample conf/local.conf
~/yocto/poky/build $ nano conf/local.conf
OR
- Add the following lines in the build/conf/local.conf
MACHINE ?= "xxxx"
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " pam systemd x11"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-systemd = " resolved networkd"
DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "wayland"
Replace xxxx with the machine you want to build the image for. All supported machines can be found in meta-radxa/conf/machine.
- If you wish to build a minimal image use the command given below:
~/yocto/poky/build $ bitbake -k radxa-minimal-image
OR
- If you wish to build a console image use the command given below:
~/yocto/poky/build $ bitbake -k radxa-console-image
OR
- If you wish to build a desktop image use the command given below:
~/yocto/poky/build $ bitbake -k radxa-desktop-image
At the end of a successful build, you should have a gpt.img image in build/tmp/deploy/images/MACHINE/ folder. The gpt.img can be directly flashed on the sd-card
The Serial Console for RockPi-4, RockPi-E and RockPi-N10 is enabled on UART-2. The Serial Console for RockPi-S is enabled on UART-0.
