Getting started with EWAOL

Overview

Reference: Project Quickstart — EWAOL documentation

This instruction explains how to build yocto image with EWAOL on your host machine.

Build Host Setup

1. Install required packages for the build host by following The Yocto Project ® 3.3.1 documentation.

   sudo apt-get install gawk wget git diffstat unzip texinfo gcc build-essential chrpath socat cpio python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev pylint3 xterm python3-subunit mesa-common-dev
   

2. Install the kas setup tool.

   sudo -H pip3 install kas
   

Checkout the repository for AVA platform

1. ADLINK / meta-adlink-ampere

   git clone https://github.com/ADLINK/meta-adlink-ampere.git -b kirkstone
   

2. EWAOL / meta-ewaol

   cd meta-adlink-ampere
   git clone https://git.gitlab.arm.com/ewaol/meta-ewaol.git -b v1.0
   

3. Replace virtualization with baremetal in ava.yml.

    header:
    version: 1
    includes:
       - repo: meta-ewaol
   -     file: meta-ewaol-config/kas/virtualization.yml
   +     file: meta-ewaol-config/kas/baremetal.yml
   
    repos:
    meta-ewaol:
       path: meta-ewaol
   
    meta-adlink-ampere:
   
   
   
    machine: ava
   
    bblayers_conf_header:
    base: |
       POKY_BBLAYERS_CONF_VERSION = "2"
       BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
       BBFILES ?= ""
   
    target:
   -  - ewaol-virtualization-image
   +  - ewaol-baremetal-image
   

4. Build via kas

   kas build ava.yml
   

You should be careful of utilizing full CPU power during build.
