Build root file system

Peter Steinberg

I'm trying to build a custom root file system for our boards.

I'm using the ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335-evm-01.00.00.00 SDK.

I get errors when I follow the steps in processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_Building_The_SDK or in arago-project.org/.../Setting_Up_Build_Environment.

ERROR: Task xxx (/home/peter/tisdk/sources/meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain/recipes-devtools/external-linaro-toolchain/external-linaro-toolchain.bb, do_install) failed with exit code '1'

How do I rebuild the minimal filesystem "arago-base-tisdk-image-am335-evm" successfully?

Is there a "menuconfig" like option so I can configure the various items included in the filesystem, and if there is how do I run it.

If there isn't, are there any instructions on how / what to modify to only include the files / busybox links that I want?

Thanks,

Peter Steinberg

Hello Peter,

There should be a line which points to the detailed log file. Could you please attach it or build verbosely by passing the -v argument and attach the log from the terminal?

The hob command will give you a frontend GUI for better orientation.

You can configure and build the busybox through these steps:

MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake -c cleanall busybox
MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake -c menuconfig busybox
MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake busybox

Best regards,
Kemal

Thanks.

The "-v" flag pointed me to the problem.

Is there a "menuconfig"-like option to configure the rest of the filesystem that bitbake creates so I can trim out all the stuff that I don't need?

Is there some recommended documentation on this process?

Thanks,
Peter

Have you tried the hob command, which gives you a graphical user interface

otherwise you should point which recipes to be included or excluded in your build/conf/local.conf file trough this documentation.

OK, HOB looks like it will work.

I didn't know HOB existed; I'm pretty new to BitBake / Yocto.
