For this example, a directory called adv-release-bsp is created for the project.
Refer to IoTGateway/BSP/Linux/iMX8/OS_Support_List , Official version "imx8LBV90029" is taken as an example :
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email you@example.com
$ sudo chown adv:adv adv-release-bsp
$ cd adv-release-bsp
$ repo init -u git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/adv-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b refs/tags/imx8LBV90029 -m imx8LBV90029.xml 
$ repo sync
If you want to get latest bsp
$ repo init -u git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/adv-arm-yocto-bsp.git  -b imx-linux-sumo -m imx-4.14.98-2.0.0_ga.xml 
$ repo sync
If you suffer "server certificate verification failed", you can use the following command to disable SSL verification in git repositories with self-signed certificates.
$ export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1

or

$ git config --global http.sslverify false

Copy BSP tarball to Container

If you have BSP tarball (eg. imx8LBV90029_2019-10-23.tgz), then you have to copy it into container.

Follow the steps below:

1.Exit container and back to local machine

$ exit

2.Copy BSP tarball to ${WORKSPACE} , and change owner

$ cp imx8LBV90029_2019-10-23.tgz ${WORKSPACE}
$ sudo chown adv:adv ${WORKSPACE}/imx8LBV90029_2019-10-23.tgz 

3.Back to container

$ docker start ${CONTAINER_NAME}
$ docker attach ${CONTAINER_NAME}

4.Unpack BSP tarball

$ tar zxvf imx8LBV90029_2019-10-23.tgz

Downloads tarball

Not necessarily step
During building  Yocto image , it will generate downloads folder which includes all packages we need , but it usually can't fetch normally, so we keep this downloads folder. Then we can reduce some fetch failed issue.
You can get Downloads tarball (downloads_imx8-2.5.tgz) from following URL:
[downloads_imx8-2.5.tgz], md5 checksum: 4971ce00d3d0cdc48a5f35b584920c07
If you get downloads tarball, you can copy to your ${WORKSPACE}

Follow the steps below:

1.Exit container and back to local machine

$ exit

2.Copy Downloads tarball to ${WORKSPACE} , and change owner

$ cp downloads_imx8-2.5.tgz ${WORKSPACE}
$ sudo chown adv:adv ${WORKSPACE}/downloads_imx8-2.5.tgz 

3.Back to container

$ docker start ${CONTAINER_NAME}
$ docker attach ${CONTAINER_NAME}

4.Unpack Downloads tarball

$ tar zxvf downloads_imx8-2.5.tgz

5.make link to downloads folder

$ cd adv-release-bsp
$ ln -s ${WORKSPACE}/downloads_imx8-2.5 downloads

Introducing BSP

The BSP is based on Yocto Project with Freescale enhanced features for i.MX8, plus specific target board features from Advantech Inc..
The Advantech Yocto Project BSP Release directory contains a "sources" directory, which contains the recipes used to build,

one or more build directories, and a set of scripts used to set up the environment.

The recipes used to build the project come from both the community and Advantech. The Yocto Project layers are downloaded

to the sources directory. This sets up the recipes that are used to build the project.

Naming Rule

The tarball/prebuilt image name is consist of the model name followed by "LB" or "LI" plus version number and released date.
For example, BSP file name: imx8LBV90010_2019-08-27.tgz
which , "LB" is acronym of Linux BSP,
           "V90010" stands for Version 9.0010 .


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example, Yocto image name: '5720A1AIM20LIV90010_iMX8M_2019-08-27.img.gz'
which "5720A1" stands for ROM-5720 A1
          "LI" is acronym for prebuilt Linux Image

Improve boot speed

  • Bootloader

1.bootdelay time

We can cancel the bootdelay time by setting bootloader environment value.
setenv bootdelay 0
env save
reset

2.Disable console

Disable debug message output can also improve boot speed

Disable kernel message

setenv mmcargs setenv bootargs ${jh_clk} console=${console} modprobe.blacklist=${modprobe.blacklist} root=${mmcroot} video=HDMI-A-1:${videores} quiet
env save
reset

Or

Disable debug port

(1) Yocto machine setting:

modify the meta-fsl-imx/conf/machine/${MC}.conf

SERIAL_CONSOLES = ";"

(2) Uboot parameter setting:

  • For the imx8mq, imx8mm, imx8mp:
setenv console disabled
env save
reset
  • For the imx8qm, imx8qxp:
setenv console disabled
setenv earlycon disabled
env save
reset
  • Rootfs
TBD
  • Services

1. Using systemctl disable remove ,we can remove unnecessary services.

systemctl disable <services>

eg.

systemctl disable boottimes
