= Introduction =

This page provides the steps to build the Processor SDK and individual components from source. The Processor SDK build is based on the Arago Project which provides a set of layers for OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project targeting TI platforms.

This page will provide the basic steps require to recreate the Processor SDK along with a reference of Processor SDK specific configurations, build targets, and target devices. Also, tips and suggestions are provided along with links for more in-depth information.

= Getting Start =

== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Prerequisites</span> ==

=== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Host Setup</span> ===

Generally，to do Linux development, you’ll need a host PC running Linux. In the development with the advantech SDK, it would be strongly recommend to use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit as developing environment. Because we have successfully tested our BSP on these OS version. Please install the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit at your PC/NB in advance.

=== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Docker install and setting</span> ===

If you don't have docker in your system, then you can follow the below&nbsp; steps to install docker and run it first.

To install Docker Engine on your platform

Please refer to Docker Installation Guide for details

To pull ubuntu 16.04 image from Docker Hub
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ docker pull advrisc/u16.04-amxxlbv1</div>
To create container
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ docker run -it --name ${CONTAINER_NAME} -v ${WORKSPACE}:/home/adv/yocto_bsp:rw advrisc/u16.04-amxxlbv1 /bin/bash</div>

The following example shows how to download the Advantech Yocto BSP from GitHub.

For this example, a directory called yocto_bsp is created for the project.

If you want to get latest bsp:

Due to lots of company firewalls/proxies only permitting HTTP traffic this is what our default repo manifest is using. At times the loading of repository server might be too heavy or for other reasons. You may be experience the following issues:

&nbsp;[[File:23456789.png|23456789.png]]

First just try repo syncing again it might just have been a connection glitch.

Then, if the error(s) persist try using git's garbage collection on the failing repository before attempting to sync again, e.g. if the error indicates an issue in the meta-openembedded repository:

cd .repo/projects/sources/meta-arago.git
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ git gc</div>
If the error(s) persist try removing your local git/repo cache before attempting to sync again, e.g. if the error indicates an issue in the meta-openembedded repository:
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ rm -rf .repo/projects/sources/meta-arago.git</div><div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ rm -rf .repo/project-objects/meta-arago.git.git</div>
Additionally you can limit the number of git repositories which are downloaded in parallel by using the additional parameter "-jX". e.g. to download one repository at a time:
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ repo sync -j1</div>
Additionally the following tweak to your IP settings maybe helpful:

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0

If your Internet connection permits you might also try switching those failing repositories to using the git protocol instead by modifying your .repo/manifest.xml as follows:

<remote fetch="[git://git.arago-project.org git://git.arago-project.org]" name="meta-arago"/>
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ ./oe-layertool-setup.sh</div><div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ cd build</div><div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ . conf/setenv</div><div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ MACHINE=&lt;machine&gt; bitbake arago-core-tisdk-image</div>

== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Using source package snapshot</span> ==

Using the snapshot of the arago source packages can avoid fetch errors during the build when external URLs become unavailable. To use the snapshot of sources distributed with a given Processor SDK release, you must download a script from the SDK download page and then execute it on your host to fetch all the packages from TI servers.

Once this package is downloaded, there are just a few extra steps in the build process to fetch all the corresponding packages. The extra steps are shown in red below:

When the target is arago-core-tisdk-image, MLO,u-boot.img,zImage, devicetree file, filesystem and full SDK will compiled.

&nbsp;

=== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">To modify source code and rebuild u-boot</span> ===

When needed, source code under the work directory (e.g.,arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/work/am57xxrom7510a2-linux-gnueabi/u-boot-ti-staging/2016.05+gitAUTOINC+87ffcd71d0-r14/git) can be modified. After the modification is done, run the following commands to force recompilation with the new code and rebuilding of the recipe, e.g.,
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ MACHINE=&lt;machine&gt; bitbake &lt;target&gt; --force -c compile</div><div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ MACHINE=&lt;machine&gt; bitbake &lt;target&gt;</div>

&nbsp;

=== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Cleaning Built Recipe</span> ===

A built recipe can be cleaned using:

The cleansstate task will clean recipe's work directory and remove the recipe's output from the dependency tree used by other recipe's during compilation.

== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Recipes</span> ==

=== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Recipe Basics</span> ===

One or more recipes can be specified for the &lt;target&gt; for greater granularity of recipe development and debug. Specifying a recipe name, minus the version (if the version is appended to the name), will build the recipe and all its dependencies.

For example, the command below builds only the opencl recipe and all the dependencies it defines.
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ MACHINE=am335xepcr3220a1 bitbake opencl</div>
After the bitbake command above is successfully done, arago-tmp-[toolchain]/work/am335xepcr3220a1-linux-gnueabi/opencl directory will be available including the original source code under the git folder, independent shared objects (.so files) under packages-split folder, and IPKs under deploy-ipks folder.

''NOTE:Please note that the output of a recipe can be in another folder under "arago-tmp-[toolchain]/work" directory, depending on the defines of the recipe.''

=== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Installing Package</span> ===

To install a modified and rebuilt package, copy the new IPKs from the deploy-ipks folder (e.g., arago-tmp-[toolchain]/work/am57xx_am57xxrom7510a2-linux-gnueabi/opencl/[version]/deploy-ipks) to the target system and then run the following command to install the IPKs:
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ opkg install [package_ipk].ipk</div>
== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Common Variations</span> ==

=== <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">Rebuilding without SGX</span> ===

In Processor SDK delivered today the graphics hardware acceleration is enabled by default for device families with SGX (e.g. AM335x, AM437x, AM57xx). As a result, some of the applications with graphics dependencies will not run properly on device variants in those families that do not contain the SGX accelerator (e.g. AM3352, AM4372, etc.). The Processor SDK has been enhanced to provide the same OOB experience with software rendering provided by QT5/Weston. The non-SGX software rendering build will be enabled by adding the following to the bottom of conf/local.conf immediately before invoking bitbake.
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ MACHINE_FEATURES_remove=”sgx”</div>

Please insert the Linux system SD card to ROM-7510, and then power up.&nbsp;It&nbsp;boot&nbsp;from the SD card.
<div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ cd /mk_inand</div><div style="background: rgb(238, 238, 238); padding: 5px 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">$ ./mk-eMMC-boot.sh</div>
Select eMMC:

[[File:AM57XX select emmc 1.png|305x107px|AM57XX select emmc 1.png]]

Select number of partitions:

[[File:AM57XX partition emmc 3.png|656x200px|AM57XX partition emmc 3.png]]

Partition completion. Continue the burning system or not?

[[File:AM57XX continue emmc 1.png|654x182px|AM57XX continue emmc 1.png]]

If “y” was pressed, the system will be burned to eMMC.

While "[Operation Finished]" shows up means the burning is finished.

Then you can boot from onboard flash without SD card.&nbsp;
