VIM1S Build Yocto

Introduction

This documentation will guide you to build Yocto images for VIM4/3/3L/1S.

Preparation

Install essential dependencies. It is recommended to use Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 for compilation, or you can choose to Build in Docker.

sudo apt update && sudo apt install git ssh make gcc libssl-dev \
liblz4-tool expect expect-dev g++ patchelf chrpath gawk texinfo chrpath \
diffstat binfmt-support qemu-user-static live-build bison flex fakeroot \
cmake gcc-multilib g++-multilib unzip device-tree-compiler ncurses-dev \
libgucharmap-2-90-dev bzip2 expat gpgv2 cpp-aarch64-linux-gnu libgmp-dev \
libmpc-dev bc python-is-python3 python2 libstdc++-12-dev xz-utils repo

Get SDK

1. Download the base SDK packages here: khadas_vims_yocto_sdk_base.tar.gz0x

You need to download all 3 compressed files:

khadas_vims_yocto_sdk_base.tar.gz00
khadas_vims_yocto_sdk_base.tar.gz01
khadas_vims_yocto_sdk_base.tar.gz02

You can also download the md5 checksum to verify the downloaded files:

$ md5sum -c md5sum/*
khadas_vims_yocto_sdk_base.tar.gz00: OK
khadas_vims_yocto_sdk_base.tar.gz01: OK
khadas_vims_yocto_sdk_base.tar.gz02: OK

2. Create and enter the working directory:

$ mkdir -p ~/project/vims-yocto-sdk && cd ~/project/vims-yocto-sdk

3. Decompress base SDK:

$ cat path/to/sdk-base-packages/khadas_vims_yocto_sdk_base.tar.gz* | tar -zxv -C ~/project/vims-yocto-sdk

4. Then you can see .repo derctory in ~/project/vims-yocto-sdk directory by using ls -la command.

$ ls -al ~/project/vims-yocto-sdk
total 12
drwxrwxr-x 3 nick nick 4096 Dec 31 14:40 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 nick nick 4096 Dec 31 14:39 ..
drwxrwxr-x 7 nick nick 4096 Dec 30 16:21 .repo

5. Sync and update code:

$ .repo/repo/repo sync -l 
$ .repo/repo/repo sync -c
$ ls
aml-comp  aml-patches  meta-aml-cfg  meta-gplv2  meta-meson  meta-openembedded  meta-python2  meta-qt5  meta-security  meta-selinux  poky

6. Create a work branch for each repository:

$ .repo/repo/repo start khadas --all

Compile

Setup the Compile Configuration

You should setup the compile configuration before compilation.

$ cd <SDK>
$ source meta-meson/aml-setenv.sh
 
You're building on Linux
Lunch menu...pick a combo:
1.      mesong12b-kvim3-k5.15
2.      mesongsm1-kvim3l-k5.15
3.      mesons4-kvim1s-5.15
4.      mesont7c-kvim4-5.15
 
Which would you like? [2]

mesong12b-kvim3-k5.15 - Configuration for VIM3
mesongsm1-kvim3l-k5.15 - Configuration for VIM3L
mesons4-kvim1s-5.15 - Configuration for VIM1S
mesont7c-kvim4-5.15 - Configuration for VIM4

Build:

$ bitbake amlogic-yocto

The image located in SDK/build/tmp/deploy/images/CONFIGURATION/vimx-yocto-xxxxxx.img.

The CONFIGURATION should be:

mesong12b-kvim3-k5.15
mesongsm1-kvim3l-k5.15
mesons4-kvim1s-5.15
mesont7c-kvim4-5.15

Build in Docker

You can also choose to build the OS image in a Docker container.

Install Docker

Please refer to Docker Documentation.

Add User to a Docker Group

$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

You need to logout or reboot the system to take effect.

Build SDK in Docker

Get Docker image:

$ docker pull wesion/yocto-amlogic

Enter Docker:

$ cd ~/project/vims-yocto-sdk
$ docker run --rm -it  -u $(id -u):$(id -g)  -v /opt:/opt -v $(pwd):/home/khadas/yocto wesion/yocto-amlogic bash

Start your build from inside the Docker container.

khadas@0126a0629f9a:~/yocto$ source meta-meson/aml-setenv.sh
khadas@0126a0629f9a:~/yocto$ bitbake amlogic-yocto

Install the Yocto image
