Docker install and setting
If you don't have docker in your system, then you can follow the below 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
$ docker pull advrisc/u16.04-imx8lbv1
$ docker run --name imx6LBV90006 -it advrisc/u16.04-imx8lbv1 /bin/bash
To copy BSP from local filesystem to the container
$ docker cp ${BSP_PACK} imx6LBV90006:/home/adv/
To create container
$ docker run --privileged -it --name ${CONTAINER_NAME} -v ${WORKSPACE}:/home/adv/adv-release-bsp -v /dev:/dev advrisc/u16.04-imx8lbv1 /bin/bash
Get BSP
- You have two methods to put BSP into container created above
Download BSP From GitHub
- The following example shows how to download the Advantech Yocto BSP from GitHub.
- For this example, a directory called adv-release-bsp is created for the project.
- Refer to IoTGateway/BSP/Linux/iMX6/OS Support List new , Official version "imx6LBV90006" is taken as an example :
TBD
- 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
Copy BSP tarball to Container
TBD
Downloads tarball
TBD
Introducing BSP
- The BSP is based on Yocto Project with Freescale enhanced features for i.MX6, 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: imx6LBV90006_2019-07-06.tgz
- which , "LB" is acronym of Linux BSP,
- "V90006" stands for Version 9.0006
- For example, Yocto image name: 7421A1LIV90006_DualPlus_2019-07-06.img.gz
- which "7421A1" stands for ROM-7421 A1
- "LI" is acronym for prebuilt Linux Image,
- "DualPlus" means this image is fit for Dual Plus Core/Quad Plus Core.
- For example, Yocto image name: 3420A1LIV90008_DualQuad_2019-07-08.img.gz
- which "3420A1" stands for ROM-3420 A1
- "LI" is acronym for prebuilt Linux Image,
- "DualQuad" means this image is fit for Dual Core/Quad Core.
- For example, Yocto image name: U220A1LIV90009_DualLiteSolo_2019-07-09.img.gz
- which "U220A1" stands for UBC-220 A1
- "LI" is acronym for prebuilt Linux Image,
- "DualLiteSolo" means this image is fit for Dual Lite Core/Solo Core.

Building & updating u-boot manually
- The cross compiling environment has been set up. (ref. Setting up cross compiling environment)
- You have two methods to put BSP into container created above
Download BSP From GitHub
- The following example shows how to download the Advantech Yocto BSP from GitHub.
$ git clone https://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/uboot-imx6.git $ cd uboot-imx6 $ git checkout -t remotes/origin/imx_v2018.03_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga
Copy BSP tarball to Container
TBD
Config u-boot
$make ${MX6PROC}${BOARD}${BOARD_REV}_${MEM_SIZE}_defconfig
eg.
$make mx6qrom7420a1_1G_defconfig
Build u-boot
$make -j4
Replace u-boot
- Perform the following command to transfer to exist boot-up SD card
$ dd if=u-boot_crc.bin.crc of=${SD_DEVICE} bs=512 seek=2 conv=fsync $ dd if=u-boot_crc.bin of=${SD_DEVICE} bs=512 seek=3 conv=fsync
- Perform the following command to transfer to on-board flash
$ dd if=u-boot_crc.bin.crc of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=2 conv=fsync $ dd if=u-boot_crc.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=3 conv=fsync
Building & updating kernel/modules/dtb manually
- The cross compiling environment has been set up. (ref. Setting up cross compiling environment)
- You have two methods to put BSP into container created above
Download BSP From GitHub
- The following example shows how to download the Advantech Yocto BSP from GitHub.
$ git clone https://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/linux-imx6.git $ cd linux-imx6 $ git checkout -t remotes/origin/imx_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga
Copy BSP tarball to Container
TBD
Config kernel
- Configure linux kernel
$make distclean $make imx_v7_adv_defconfig $make menuconfig
If you get error ,when you "make imx_v7_adv_defconfig" , you need to insatall "libncurses*"
$apt-get install libncurses*
Build kernel
- Start building linux kernel
$ make -j4 zImage
- The kernel image file, zImage, is located in the directory "./arch/arm/boot/".
- Start building kernel modules
$ make -j4 modules
- Copy all modules to a temporary rootfs directory, "~/temp/rootfs"
$ make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=~/temp/rootfs
- Building device tree blob
$ make -j4 ${IMX6PROC}-${BOARD}-${BOARD_REV}.dtb
- The device tree blob, ${IMX6PROC}-${BOARD}-${BOARD_REV}.dtb, is located in the directory "./arch/arm/boot/dts/".
Replace kernel & dts
- Replace kernel
- copy zImage to SDcard or emmc
- Replace dtb file
- copy dtb file to SDcard or emmc
Improve boot speed
- Bootloader
1.bootdelay time
- We can cancel the bootdelay time by setting bootloader environment value.
setenv bootdelay 0 env save reset
2.Disable console
- Disable debug message output can also improve boot speed
Disable kernel message
setenv mmcargs setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} ${smp} root=${mmcroot} ${bootargs} quiet env save reset
Or
- Disable debug port
setenv console env save reset
- Rootfs
1.Use smaller rootfs
- We can speed up boot times by using a smaller rootfs instead of fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx image
eg. core-image-full-cmdline, core-image-minimal
bitbake core-image-full-cmdline
It's a console-only image with more full-featured Linux system functionality installed.
And replace the original fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx rootfs.
- Services
1. Using update-rc.d remove ,we can remove unnecessary services.
update-rc.d -f <basename> remove
