This README file contains information on building the
|
|
meta-jasperforest BSP layer, and booting the images contained in the
|
|
/binary directory. Please see the corresponding sections below for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
'Jasper Forest' refers to the Intel Xeon C5500/C3500 processors, which
|
|
combined with the Intel 3420 PCH chipset (Ibex Peak) make up the
|
|
'Picket Post' CRB this BSP was developed on.
|
|
|

|
|

I. Building the meta-jasperforest BSP layer
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
In order to build an image with BSP support for a given release, you
|
|
need to download the corresponding BSP tarball from the 'Board Support
|
|
Package (BSP) Downloads' page of the Yocto Project website.
|
|
|
|
Having done that, and assuming you extracted the BSP tarball contents
|
|
at the top-level of your yocto build tree, you can build a
|
|
jasperforest image by adding the location of the meta-jasperforest
|
|
layer to bblayers.conf, along with the meta-intel layer itself (to
|
|
access common metadata shared between BSPs) e.g.:
|
|
|
|
yocto/meta-intel \
|
|
yocto/meta-intel/meta-jasperforest \
|
|
|
|
To enable the jasperforest layer, add the jasperforest MACHINE to local.conf:
|
|
|
|
MACHINE ?= "jasperforest"
|
|
|
|
You should then be able to build a jasperforest image as such:
|
|
|
|
$ source oe-init-build-env
|
|
$ bitbake core-image-sato
|
|
|
|
At the end of a successful build, you should have a live image that
|
|
you can boot from a USB flash drive (see instructions on how to do
|
|
that below, in the section 'Booting the images from /binary').
|
|
|
|
As an alternative to downloading the BSP tarball, you can also work
|
|
directly from the meta-intel git repository. For each BSP in the
|
|
'meta-intel' repository, there are multiple branches, one
|
|
corresponding to each major release starting with 'laverne' (0.90), in
|
|
addition to the latest code which tracks the current master (note that
|
|
not all BSPs are present in every release). Instead of extracting a
|
|
BSP tarball at the top level of your yocto build tree, you can
|
|
equivalently check out the appropriate branch from the meta-intel
|
|
repository at the same location.
|
|
|
|
|
|
II. Booting the images in /binary
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
This BSP contains bootable live images, which can be used to directly
|
|
boot Yocto off of a USB flash drive.
|
|
|
|
Under Linux, insert a USB flash drive. Assuming the USB flash drive
|
|
takes device /dev/sdf, use dd to copy the live image to it. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
# dd if=core-image-sato-jasperforest-20101207053738.hddimg of=/dev/sdf
|
|
# sync
|
|
# eject /dev/sdf
|
|
|
|
This should give you a bootable USB flash device. Insert the device
|
|
into a bootable USB socket on the target, and power on. This should
|
|
result in a system booted to the Sato graphical desktop.
|
|
|
|
If you want a terminal, use the arrows at the top of the UI to move to
|
|
different pages of available applications, one of which is named
|
|
'Terminal'. Clicking that should give you a root terminal.
|
|
|
|
If you want to ssh into the system, you can use the root terminal to
|
|
ifconfig the IP address and use that to ssh in. The root password is
|
|
empty, so to log in type 'root' for the user name and hit 'Enter' at
|
|
the Password prompt: and you should be in.
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If you find you're getting corrupt images on the USB (it doesn't show
|
|
the syslinux boot: prompt, or the boot: prompt contains strange
|
|
characters), try doing this first:
|
|
|
|
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf bs=1M count=512
