| ===== Yocto Project / Poky set-up ===== | |
| | |
| The [[https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4.4/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs|Yocto Project Quick Start]] document explains how to set up //Yocto Project / Poky// and how to build images using the //meta-intel// layer. | |
| Using this as a guideline, the following table describes how to use the //ci-meta-tq// layer for the STKa8Xx. | |

| This section provides step-by-step instructions for Building an Image for STKa8Xx | |
| </WRAP><WRAP important round> | |
| To sucessfully build an image for hardware you have to carry out steps from both subsections((subsection headings may be missing in //Yocto Project Quick Start// (depends on //Poky// version) )) as follows.</WRAP><WRAP block> | |
| ==== Building an Image for Hardware ==== | |
| 1. Create a Local Copy of the //ci-meta-tq// Repository: | |
| <code> | |
| $ cd $HOME/poky | |
| $ git clone --branch=rocko-tqma8x --recurse-submodules https://github.com/tq-systems/ci-meta-tq.git | |
| </code> | |
| 2. Configure the Build: | |
| <code> | |
| $ source fsl-setup-release.sh -b tqma8xx_build -e wayland | |
| $ echo 'MACHINE = "tqma8qx-mba8qx"' >> conf/local.conf | |
| </code> | |
| 3. Build an Image for STKa8Xx: | |
| <code> | |
| $ bitbake tq-image-qt5 | |
| </code> | |
| <wrap help round center 80%>The resulting image is ''tmp/deploy/images/tqma8qx-mba8qx/tq-image-qt5-tqma8qx-mba8qx.wic''</wrap>\\ | |
| 4. Write the Image((''TARGET_DEVICE'' has to be an SD card)) | |
| <code> | |
| $ sudo dd if=tmp/deploy/images/<label mod_name_code>MOD_NAME_CODE</label>-<label mb_name_code>MB_NAME_CODE</label>/tq-image-qt5-tqma8qx-mba8qx.wic of=TARGET_DEVICE | |
| </code> | |
| 5. Boot the STKa8Xx from SD card (cf. [[en:arm:tqma8xx:mba8xx:dip_switches|MBa8Xx DIP switche settings]]) | |
