 This is a guide for creating a Yocto linux image on Ubuntu 12.04. 

 h2. Prepare the Environment 

 * Make sure the system is up to date: 
 <pre> 
 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgade 
 </pre> 

 * Install a few prerequisite packages: 
 <pre> 
 sudo apt-get install apt-get install gawk wget git bitbake diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat libsdl1.2-dev xterm parted 
 </pre> 

 h2. Download the Source Code 

 * Create a directory for the source code: 
 <pre> 
 mkdir ~/git && cd ~/git 
 </pre> 

 * Get the latest IoT Yocto Development Kit: 
 <pre> 
 git clone -b devkit-daisy git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel-iot-devkit iotdk 
 cd iotdk 
 </pre> 

 * Source the @iot-devkit-init-build-env@ script: 
 <pre> 
 source iot-devkit-init-build-env 
 </pre> 

 h2. Build the Yocto Image 

 * Run bitbake to build iot-devkit-image: 
 <pre> 
 bitbake iot-devkit-image 
 </pre> 
 #* *NOTE*: There are many types of image targets for bitbake to use, such as: 
 <pre> 
 iot-devkit-image 
 iot-devkit-prof-dev-image 
 iot-devkit-prof-image 
 iot-devkit-spi-image 
 </pre> 
 *# *iot-devkit-image*: A fully functional image to be placed on an SD card 
 *# *iot-devkit-prof-dev-image*: A fully functional image to be placed on an SD card with full profiling and dev tools 
 *# *iot-devkit-prof-image*: A fully functional image to be placed on an SD card with full profiling 
 *# *iot-devkit-spi-image*: A small image capable of fitting into the on-board SPI flash 

 * Fix the grub bitbake source: 
 <pre> 
 nano ~/git/iotdk/meta-quark-bsp/recipes-bsp/grub/grub_0.97.bb 
 </pre> 
 #* And the SRC_URI to the following: 
 <pre> 
 SRC_URI = "git://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/grub-fedora.git" 
 </pre> 

 * (Optional) To use the Hob GUI to assist in building, run: 
 <pre> 
 bitbake -u hob 
 </pre> 

 h3. Deploy the Yocto Image 

 * Use wic to create a bootable micro SD image: 
 <pre> 
 ~/git/iotdk/scripts/wic create -e iot-devkit-image ~/git/iotdk/scripts/lib/image/canned-wks/iot-devkit.wks 
 </pre> 

 * Write the image using dd: 
 <pre> 
 sudo dd if=/var/tmp/wic/build/iot-devkit-201506161028-mmcblkp0.direct of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M 
 sudo sync 
 </pre> 
 *NOTE*: Make sure to update the timestamp for the image in @/var/tmp/wic/build/@ 

 h2. Connect Over Ethernet 

 * Once the micro SD card is inserted into the Galileo, plug a network cable to a network with DHCP and look for the host named "quark". Log in as root: 
 <pre> 
 ssh root@quark 
 </pre> 
 #* *NOTE*: Make sure to set a root password: 
 <pre> 
 passwd 
 </pre>
