Build environment

[hendrack]

Hi Stephan,

I tried your latest image and it works very well on my WB Quad.

I also tried to make my own yocto image following your build environment post from december, and I have some questions about it.

First, I was able to build an image with your instructions, one issue I have: when I start playback of a h264/ac3 mkv, I hear sound, but no video, the screen shows something resembling a gui skin (like a grey wall). Those videos play flawless with your provided image. When I have time I am going to look through logs and provide some if possible.

But my other issue with your build environment instructions: you obviously polish the yocto image with additional stuff like automount/splash screen and other things that go beyond your build instructions.

As far as I understand yocto so far, I edited the local.conf in ~/xbmc-bsp/build/conf/local.conf like the following:

MACHINE = 'wandboard-quad'
DISTRO ?= 'poky'
DISTRO_FEATURES_DEFAULT="alsa argp bluetooth ext2 irda largefile pcmcia usbgadget usbhost wifi xattr nfs zeroconf pci smbfs"
DISTRO_FEATURES = "${DISTRO_FEATURES_DEFAULT} ${DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC} \
                    multiarch systemd"
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_deb"
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks"
USER_CLASSES ?= "buildstats image-mklibs image-prelink"
PATCHRESOLVE = "noop"
BB_DISKMON_DIRS = "\
    STOPTASKS,${TMPDIR},1G,100K \
    STOPTASKS,${DL_DIR},1G,100K \
    STOPTASKS,${SSTATE_DIR},1G,100K \
    ABORT,${TMPDIR},100M,1K \
    ABORT,${DL_DIR},100M,1K \
    ABORT,${SSTATE_DIR},100M,1K" 
CONF_VERSION = "1"
ACCEPT_FSL_EULA = ""
DEFAULTTUNE ?= "cortexa9thf-neon"
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management dev-pkgs splash"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "dpkg apt"
LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST="commercial"
do_rootfs[depends] += "u-boot:do_deploy"
BOOT_SCRIPTS = "bootscript-${MACHINE}:boot.scr"

BB_NUMBER_THREADS = '4'
PARALLEL_MAKE = '-j 4'

It would be helpful to also have those steps and .conf’s to make an image equivalent of your polished image, to make a more customized build with added packages and things like that.

Unless your build environment instruction is supposed to make an exact image like yours and I made an error, do point it out please. 🙂

Thank you.
Regards.

Hi hendrack

Have you exactly followed the instructions from this post ?
I ask because you should really get the same image as the one I provide.
The only operation I perform out of yocto build is the sdcard partition resizing…
Should not be a big deal we will find out the issue…
