Description

This is a guide on how I compiled an image of Yocto Linux for the Intel Galileo SoC on Arch Linux.

WARNING: Arch Linux is not an officially supported build OS for Yocto Linux.

Prepare the Environment

  • Edit the pacman configuration:
    sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
    
    • And enable the multilib repository:
      [multilib]
      Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
      
  • Refresh the pacman repo cache:
    sudo pacman -Sy
    
  • Install a few prerequisite packages:
    sudo pacman -S git python2 cpio gawk wget diffstat unzip gcc-multilib texinfo chrpath socat sdl xterm
    

Fix Python environment

  • Create a dummy bin folder in the user directory:
    mkdir ~/bin
    
    • Then add a symlink python to python2 and the config scripts in it:
      ln -s /usr/bin/python2 ~/bin/python
      ln -s /usr/bin/python2-config ~/bin/python-config
      export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
      
  • Finally put the new folder at the beginning of your PATH variable:
    echo 'export PATH=~/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
    

Download the Source Code

  • Create a directory for the source code:
    mkdir ~/git && cd ~/git
    
  • Get the latest IoT Yocto Development Kit:
    git clone -b devkit-daisy git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel-iot-devkit iotdk
    cd iotdk
    
  • Source the iot-devkit-init-build-env script:
    source iot-devkit-init-build-env
    

Build the Yocto Image

  • Run bitbake to build iot-devkit-image:
    ../bitbake/bin/bitbake iot-devkit-image
    
    • NOTE: There are many types of image targets for bitbake to use, such as:
      1. iot-devkit-image: A fully functional image to be placed on an SD card
      2. iot-devkit-prof-dev-image: A fully functional image to be placed on an SD card with full profiling and dev tools
      3. iot-devkit-prof-image: A fully functional image to be placed on an SD card with full profiling
      4. iot-devkit-spi-image: A small image capable of fitting into the on-board SPI flash
  • Fix the grub bitbake source:
    nano ~/git/iotdk/meta-quark-bsp/recipes-bsp/grub/grub_0.97.bb
    
    • And the SRC_URI to the following:
      SRC_URI = "git://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/grub-fedora.git" 
      
  • (Optional) To use the Hob GUI to assist in building, run:
    bitbake -u hob
