Repo Tool overview


Repo is a repository management tool that is built on top of Git. Repo unifies the many Git repositories when necessary, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git in the context of development.The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path. In working with the source files, you will use Repo for across-network operations. For example, with a single Repo command you can download files from multiple repositories into your local working directory.

More details about repo tool is present at
https://source.android.com/source/developing.html

Step 1: Preparing the Build Environment

Install Repo


Code Block
themeMidnight
#Download the Repo script:
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > repo
 
#Make it executable:
$ chmod a+x repo
 
#Move it on to your local home directory path:
$ mv repo ~/bin/
 
#Add it to your path
$ PATH=$PATH:~/bin
 
#If it is correctly installed, you should see a Usage message when invoked with the help flag.
$ repo --help

...

where current-release is rel-v2016.3 or rel-v2016.1 etc


Source environment


Code Block
themeMidnight
#source the environment to build using bitbake
$ source setupsdk

...

Code Block
themeMidnight
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px;">$ vim conf/local.conf
 
#Provide the hdf base,path and filename for HDF
 
HDF_BASE = "file://"
HDF_PATH = "/home/saurabh/yocto/hdf"
HDF_FILE = "design_1_wrapper.hdf"
 
EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS += " fsbl pmu-firmware"

Note :

  1. HDF_BASE could be "git" for git repo or "file://" for local
  2. if xsct does not work set XILINX_SDK_TOOLCHAIN in conf/local.conf pointing to xsct
  3. All the hdf file provided should be of build 2016.3 or higher

Step 2: Build using bitbake


You can choose between 'petalinux-image', 'petalinux-image-minimal' and 'petalinux-image-full' below.




Code Block
themeMidnight
$ MACHINE=zynqmp-generic bitbake petalinux-image
 


...


Similarly build for other machine (ZC702, ZC706 etc)

Release 2016.1 to 2016.4:

Below information is applicable only to Releases 2016.1 to 2016.4
Following has to be present in your configuration to use XIlinx SDK toolchain (local.conf or override.conf)

...


<current-version> will be 2016.3, 2016.1 etc
<current-release> will be 2016.3, 2016.1 etc


Re-running bitbake


If you need to run bitbake again, for example if your build failed the first time, source setupsdk like in Step 1 and rerun bitbake
