# Corporate Network Deployment Guide
# Corporate Network Deployment Guide (Air-Gap)
**Document ID:** DEPLOY-CORP-001
**Document ID:** DEPLOY-CORP-001-REV2
**Date:** 2026-03-01
**Environment:** Corporate network (potentially air-gapped)
**Prerequisites:** Approved software mirror archive
**Build Name:** UT (Universität/Projekt)
**Target:** TQMa6UL on MBa6x
**Environment:** Air-gapped corporate network
---
## Overview
This guide describes the deployment of the Yocto mirror and build environment within a corporate network after software approval has been obtained.
This guide describes deployment of the UT Yocto mirror in an air-gapped corporate network. The corporate system has no internet access and requires complete offline build capability.
**Assumptions:**
- Software approval has been granted
- Mirror archive has been transferred securely to corporate network
- Target system: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (or approved corporate Linux)
- Internet access: May be restricted or unavailable
**Prerequisites:**
- Software approval documentation received
- UT-mirror-package.tar.gz transferred securely
- Checksum verified
- Ubuntu 22.04 system ready (can use local Ubuntu mirror for apt)
---
## Pre-Deployment Checklist
Before starting deployment:
- [ ] Software approval documentation received
- [ ] Mirror archive transferred (USB/secure file transfer)
- [ ] Checksum verified: `sha256sum -c archive.tar.gz.sha256`
- [ ] Sufficient disk space available (200GB+)
- [ ] Corporate Ubuntu 22.04 system ready
- [ ] Software approval granted

## Step 3: Setup Yocto Build Environment
### 3.1 Create Directory Structure
## Step 3: Setup Mirror Directories
```bash
cd ${CORP_BASE}
# Create system mirror directories
sudo mkdir -p /srv/yocto/{premirror,downloads,sstate-cache}
sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) /srv/yocto
# Create working directories
mkdir -p build
mkdir -p mirror
# Copy mirror contents
cd ${UT_BASE}/UT-mirror-package
# Copy sources
cp -r mirror-package/sources/* ./
# Copy premirror (git repos and tarballs)
cp -r premirror/* /srv/yocto/premirror/
# Setup downloads directory (offline)
mkdir -p downloads
cp -r mirror-package/downloads/* downloads/ 2>/dev/null || true
```
# Copy downloads
cp -r downloads/* /srv/yocto/downloads/
### 3.2 Initialize Build
```bash
# Source the build environment
cd ${CORP_BASE}/poky-scarthgap
source oe-init-build-env ${CORP_BASE}/build
# You are now in ${CORP_BASE}/build
```
### 3.3 Configure for Offline Build
Edit `${CORP_BASE}/build/conf/local.conf`:
```conf
# Machine selection
MACHINE ??= "tqma6ulx-mba6ulx"
# Offline/Premirror configuration
BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"
# Use local mirror for all sources
PREMIRRORS:prepend = " \

# Don't check for updates
BB_FETCH_PREMIRRORONLY = "1"
# Parallelism
BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= "8"
PARALLEL_MAKE ?= "-j8"
# DL directory
DL_DIR = "${CORP_BASE}/downloads"
# SSTATE (optional, for faster rebuilds)

# Archive settings for compliance
INHERIT += "archiver"
ARCHIVER_MODE[src] = "original"

### 3.4 Configure Layers
Edit `${CORP_BASE}/build/conf/bblayers.conf`:
```conf

## Step 4: Build Image
## Step 4: Configure Site Configuration
### 4.1 First Build (Offline)
Create `~/.yocto/site.conf` for air-gap:
```bash
cd ${CORP_BASE}/build
mkdir -p ~/.yocto
# Ensure we're in the build environment
source ${CORP_BASE}/poky-scarthgap/oe-init-build-env ${CORP_BASE}/build
cat > ~/.yocto/site.conf <<'EOF'
# UT Project - Air-Gap Configuration
# Build: UT
# Target: TQMa6UL
# Date: 2026-03-01
# Start build (all sources should be local)
bitbake core-image-minimal
# Mirror directories (local filesystem)
DL_DIR = "/srv/yocto/downloads"
SSTATE_DIR = "/srv/yocto/sstate-cache"
# Air-gap settings
BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"
BB_FETCH_PREMIRRORONLY = "1"
# Premirror configuration (local files only)
SOURCE_MIRROR_URL = "file:///srv/yocto/premirror/"
INHERIT += "own-mirrors"

# Parallelism (adjust to hardware)
BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= "8"
PARALLEL_MAKE ?= "-j8"
# License compliance
COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1"
COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1"
INHERIT += "archiver"
ARCHIVER_MODE[src] = "original"
EOF
```
**Expected:** Build completes without network access.

### 4.2 Verify 2038 Compliance
After successful build:
## Step 5: Initialize Build Environment
```bash
# Check time_t size in generated toolchain
${CORP_BASE}/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep TIME_BITS
cd ${UT_BASE}/UT-mirror-package/sources/ci-meta-tq
# Verify submodules are present
ls -la sources/
# Set machine for TQMa6UL
export MACHINE=tqma6ulx-mba6ulx
# Initialize build (creates build_ut)
. ./setup-environment build_ut imx
# Verify configuration
bitbake -e | grep "^MACHINE="
# Should show: MACHINE="tqma6ulx-mba6ulx"
```
---
## Step 6: Verify Air-Gap Build
### 6.1 Test Offline Build
```bash
# Ensure we're in build environment
cd ${UT_BASE}/UT-mirror-package/sources/ci-meta-tq
export MACHINE=tqma6ulx-mba6ulx
. ./setup-environment build_ut imx
# Verify no network access is attempted
export BB_NO_NETWORK=1
# Start build (should complete without network)
bitbake tq-image-small-debug
```
**Expected:** Build completes using only local premirror sources.
### 6.2 Verify 2038 Compliance
```bash
# Check time_t size
echo '#include <time.h>' | \
${WORKDIR}/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -x c - -dM -E | \

## Step 5: Development Workflow
## Step 7: Development Workflow
### 5.1 Daily Use
### Daily Build Commands
```bash
# Enter build environment
cd ${CORP_BASE}
source poky-scarthgap/oe-init-build-env build
cd ${UT_BASE}/UT-mirror-package/sources/ci-meta-tq
export MACHINE=tqma6ulx-mba6ulx

# Build target
bitbake core-image-minimal
# Build target image
bitbake tq-image-small-debug
# Deploy to target (SD card / eMMC)
# Deploy to target (SD card)
# See TQ documentation for deployment methods
```
### 5.2 Adding Custom Layers
If custom corporate layers are required:
### SDK Generation (for Application Development)
```bash
# Add to bblayers.conf
vim ${CORP_BASE}/build/conf/bblayers.conf
# Add path to custom layer
# ${CORP_BASE}/meta-custom \
```
### 5.3 SDK Generation
For application development:
```bash
# Generate SDK
bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk
# Generate SDK for application developers
bitbake tq-image-small-debug -c populate_sdk
# Install SDK
${CORP_BASE}/build/tmp/deploy/sdk/*.sh
${UT_BASE}/UT-mirror-package/sources/ci-meta-tq/build_ut/tmp/deploy/sdk/*.sh
# Source SDK environment
# Source SDK in new terminal
source /opt/poky/.../environment-setup-arm-poky-linux-gnueabi
```

## Maintenance
## Build Verification Checklist
### Updating the Mirror
When new TQ BSP versions are approved:
1. Request updated mirror from external system
2. Verify checksums
3. Extract to separate directory
4. Compare with current deployment
5. Test build in isolation
6. Switch over after validation
### Build Cache Management
```bash
# Clean build (keep downloads)
bitbake -c cleanall core-image-minimal
# Full clean (careful!)
rm -rf ${CORP_BASE}/build/tmp/
```
- [ ] Air-gap build completes without network errors
- [ ] Image boots on TQMa6UL hardware
- [ ] 2038 compliance verified (64-bit time_t)
- [ ] License manifest generated
- [ ] All proprietary components reviewed
- [ ] SDK functional for application development

## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Network timeout errors
### Issue: "Failed to fetch" errors
**Cause:** BitBake trying to fetch from internet
**Cause:** BitBake trying to access network
**Solution:**
```bash
# Verify BB_NO_NETWORK is set
grep BB_NO_NETWORK ${CORP_BASE}/build/conf/local.conf
# Verify settings
grep BB_NO_NETWORK ~/.yocto/site.conf
grep SOURCE_MIRROR_URL ~/.yocto/site.conf
# Should show: BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"
# Should show:
# BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"
# SOURCE_MIRROR_URL = "file:///srv/yocto/premirror/"
```
### Issue: Missing source files
### Issue: Missing files in premirror
**Cause:** Incomplete mirror transfer
**Cause:** Incomplete transfer
**Solution:**
```bash
# Check downloads directory
ls ${CORP_BASE}/downloads | wc -l
# Compare with external mirror
# Re-verify checksum on source system
# Re-transfer missing files
```

## Security Considerations
## Security & Compliance
1. **No Internet Access:** Build must complete without network
2. **Audit Trail:** All sources archived and version-controlled
3. **License Compliance:** License manifest generated for every build
1. **No Network Access:** Build verified to complete offline
2. **Source Audit:** All sources archived and traceable
3. **License Compliance:** License manifest generated per build
4. **User Permissions:** Build as regular user, not root
