To install JDK

Please download "jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin" manually, put it to directory ~/FILES/ and perform the following commands:

$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ~/FILES/jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin

Introducing BSP

The BSP is based on Yocto Project with Intel enhanced features for Quark, plus specific target board features from Advantech Inc..

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, U222LBV2011_2016-01-29.zip which "U222" stands for UBC-222, "LB" is acronym of Linux BSP, "V2011" stands for Version 2.011.

For example, U222LBV2011_quark_2016-01-29.zip which "LI" is acronym for prebuilt Linux Image.

BSP pack

Unpack BSP pack to home directory by performing the following command:

$ unzip ${BSP_PACK} -d ~/

The description of some important folders list below:

$BSP_HOME/meta-clanton_v1.2.0

meta-advantech/ : meta layer by Advantech

meta-intel-*/ : meta layer by Intel

setup.sh : to setup one new build environment

oe-init-build-env : to initiate build environment

Prebuilt image pack

Perform the following command to unpack prebuilt-image-pack to home directory

$ unzip ${PREBUILT_IMAGE_PACK} -d ~/

Prepare one FAT32 formatted SD card, and mount it to mount point

$ cp -a ${PREBUILT_IMAGE_DIR}/sdcard/* ${SD_MOUNT}/

Build Instructions
