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

Customization

Setting up SDK

Please follow the section,to build toolchain installer, to build one toolchain installer first.

Perform the following command in terminal console

$ cd ${BSP_HOME}/BDIR}/tmp/deploy/sdk

$ sudo ./iot-devkit-glibc-x86_64-image-full-i586-toolchain-${POKY}.sh

Enter directory or press Enter while following question shows up:

Enter target directory for SDK (default: /opt/iot-devkit/1.7.2):

Just press Enter while following question shows up:

You are about to install the SDK to "/opt/iot-devkit/1.7.2". Proceed[Y/n]?

While following message shows up means the SDK is ready.

Extracting SDK...done

Setting it up...done

SDK has been successfully set up and is ready to be used.

Setting up cross compiling environment

SDK has been set up (ref. Setting up SDK)

Perform the following command in terminal console

$ source /opt/iot-devkit/${POKY}/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux

System Recovery

Please refer to Creating boot-up on-board flash from prebuilt image / sdcard image to create a boot-up SD card and transfer whole system to on-board flash.
