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

To pull <a alt="<a alt="https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/" href="https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/" title="https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/">https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/</a>" href="<a alt="https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/" href="https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/" title="https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/">https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/</a>" title="<a alt="https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/" href="https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/" title="https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/">https://hub.docker.com/r/advrisc/u12.04-imx6lbv3/</a>">ubuntu 18.04 image from Docker Hub</a>

$ docker pull advrisc/u18.04-imx8lbv1

To create container

$ docker run --privileged -it --name ${CONTAINER_NAME} -v ${WORKSPACE}:/home/adv/adv-release-bsp -v /dev:/dev -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules -v /usr/src:/usr/src advrisc/u18.04-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 <a href="IoTGateway%2FBSP%2FLinux%2FiMX8%2FOS%20Support%20List">IoTGateway/BSP/Linux/iMX8/OS_Support_List</a> , Official version "imx8LBVA0209" is taken as an example :

$ git config --global user.name &quot;Your Name&quot;
$ 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 imx-linux-zeus -m imx8LBVA0428.xml 
$ repo sync

If you want to get latest bsp

$ repo init -u <a alt="git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/adv-arm-yocto-bsp.git" href="git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/adv-arm-yocto-bsp.git" title="git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/adv-arm-yocto-bsp.git">git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/adv-arm-yocto-bsp.git</a>  <span>-b imx-linux-zeus -m </span>imx-5.4.70-2.3.0.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

If you get "The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported.", you can try it.

$ git config --global url.&quot;https://&quot;.insteadOf git://

Important : As of March 31, 2023, all source repositories have been migrated to other platforms and the project has been shut down. ** Repo sync will be fail.

Solution :

(1) If you repo current xml file, repo sync is success. Example:

 $ repo init -u [git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/adv-arm-yocto-bsp.git git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/adv-arm-yocto-bsp.git] &lt;span&gt;-b imx-linux-zeus -m &lt;/span&gt;imx-5.4.70-2.3.0.xml

(2) If you repo tag version xml file, please follow " <a href="Yocto3.0%20Repo%20Fail%20SOP">Yocto3.0_Repo_Fail_SOP</a> " to modify XML File. Example:

 $ repo init -u git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/adv-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-linux-zeus -m imx8LBVA0428.xml &lt;- Tag XML

Copy BSP tarball to Container

If you have BSP tarball (eg. imx8LBVA0029_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 imx8LBVA0029_2020-10-23.tgz <b>${WORKSPACE}</b>
$ sudo chown adv:adv ${WORKSPACE}/imx8LBVA0029_2020-10-23.tgz&nbsp;

3.Back to container

$ docker start <b>${CONTAINER_NAME}</b>
$ docker attach <b>${CONTAINER_NAME}</b>

4.Unpack BSP tarball

$ tar zxvf imx8LBVA0029_2020-10-23.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_5.4.24.tar.gz) or (downloads_imx8_5.4.70.tar.gz) from following URL:

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_5.4.24.tar.gz <b>${WORKSPACE}</b>
$ sudo chown adv:adv ${WORKSPACE}/downloads_imx8_5.4.24.tar.gz&nbsp;

3.Back to container

$ docker start <b>${CONTAINER_NAME}</b>
$ docker attach <b>${CONTAINER_NAME}</b>

4.Unpack Downloads tarball

$ tar zxvf downloads_imx8_5.4.24.tar.gz

5.make link to downloads folder

$ cd adv-release-bsp
$ ln -s ${WORKSPACE}/downloads_imx8_5.4.24 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: imx8LBVA0010_2019-08-27.tgz

which , "LB" is acronym of Linux BSP,

"VA0010" stands for Version A.0010

<nowiki>.</nowiki>

For example, Yocto image name: '5720A1AIM20LIVA0010_iMX8M_2G_2020-08-27.img.gz'

which "5720A1" stands for ROM-5720 A1

"LI" is acronym for prebuilt Linux Image

"2G" is DDR size

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 ${jh_clk} console=${console} modprobe.blacklist=${modprobe.blacklist} root=${mmcroot} video=HDMI-A-1:${videores} <b>quiet</b>
env save
reset

Or

Disable debug port

(1) Yocto machine setting:

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

SERIAL_CONSOLES = &quot;;&quot;

(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
setenv mmcargs setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} earlycon=${earlycon},${baudrate} root=${mmcroot}
env save
reset

Rootfs

TBD

Services

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

systemctl disable &lt;services&gt;

eg.

systemctl disable boottimes

System Recovery

This section provides detail procedures of restoring the eMMC image.

If you destroy the onboard flash image by accident, you can recover a system following these steps.

Recovery by SD card

Package List

In BSP, list all packages which will be built in the image

bitbake -g imx-image-full &amp;&amp; cat task-depends.dot | grep -v -e &#39;-native&#39; | grep -v digraph | grep -v -e &#39;-image&#39; | awk &#39;{print $1}&#39; | sort | uniq

<a href=":File%3A20191025.txt">20191025 Package List</a>

Show all recipes (include non-installed packages)

bitbake -s

<a href=":File%3Apackage%20version%2020191025.txt">20191025 Package Version List</a>

You can also check ${BDIR}/tmp/deploy/images/${MC}/fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx-${MC}.manifest

It will show the same content with checking by rpm tool on target board.

On target board, list all packages by rpm tool

rpm -qa --root / --dbpath /var/lib/rpm | sort
