Adding a New Machine
|
||||
********************
|
||||
|
||||
Adding a new machine to the Yocto Project is a straightforward process.
|
||||
This section describes how to add machines that are similar to those
|
||||
that the Yocto Project already supports.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
Although well within the capabilities of the Yocto Project, adding a
|
||||
totally new architecture might require changes to ``gcc``/``glibc``
|
||||
and to the site information, which is beyond the scope of this
|
||||
manual.
|
||||
|
||||
For a complete example that shows how to add a new machine, see the
|
||||
":ref:`bsp-guide/bsp:creating a new bsp layer using the \`\`bitbake-layers\`\` script`"
|
||||
section in the Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's
|
||||
Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding the Machine Configuration File
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
To add a new machine, you need to add a new machine configuration file
|
||||
to the layer's ``conf/machine`` directory. This configuration file
|
||||
provides details about the device you are adding.
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenEmbedded build system uses the root name of the machine
|
||||
configuration file to reference the new machine. For example, given a
|
||||
machine configuration file named ``crownbay.conf``, the build system
|
||||
recognizes the machine as "crownbay".
|
||||
|
||||
The most important variables you must set in your machine configuration
|
||||
file or include from a lower-level configuration file are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- :term:`TARGET_ARCH` (e.g. "arm")
|
||||
|
||||
- ``PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel``
|
||||
|
||||
- :term:`MACHINE_FEATURES` (e.g. "screen wifi")
|
||||
|
||||
You might also need these variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- :term:`SERIAL_CONSOLES` (e.g. "115200;ttyS0 115200;ttyS1")
|
||||
|
||||
- :term:`KERNEL_IMAGETYPE` (e.g. "zImage")
|
||||
|
||||
- :term:`IMAGE_FSTYPES` (e.g. "tar.gz jffs2")
|
||||
|
||||
You can find full details on these variables in the reference section.
|
||||
You can leverage existing machine ``.conf`` files from
|
||||
``meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/``.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding a Kernel for the Machine
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenEmbedded build system needs to be able to build a kernel for the
|
||||
machine. You need to either create a new kernel recipe for this machine,
|
||||
or extend an existing kernel recipe. You can find several kernel recipe
|
||||
examples in the Source Directory at ``meta/recipes-kernel/linux`` that
|
||||
you can use as references.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are creating a new kernel recipe, normal recipe-writing rules
|
||||
apply for setting up a :term:`SRC_URI`. Thus, you need to specify any
|
||||
necessary patches and set :term:`S` to point at the source code. You need to
|
||||
create a :ref:`ref-tasks-configure` task that configures the unpacked kernel with
|
||||
a ``defconfig`` file. You can do this by using a ``make defconfig``
|
||||
command or, more commonly, by copying in a suitable ``defconfig`` file
|
||||
and then running ``make oldconfig``. By making use of ``inherit kernel``
|
||||
and potentially some of the ``linux-*.inc`` files, most other
|
||||
functionality is centralized and the defaults of the class normally work
|
||||
well.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are extending an existing kernel recipe, it is usually a matter
|
||||
of adding a suitable ``defconfig`` file. The file needs to be added into
|
||||
a location similar to ``defconfig`` files used for other machines in a
|
||||
given kernel recipe. A possible way to do this is by listing the file in
|
||||
the :term:`SRC_URI` and adding the machine to the expression in
|
||||
:term:`COMPATIBLE_MACHINE`::
|
||||
|
||||
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = '(qemux86|qemumips)'
|
||||
|
||||
For more information on ``defconfig`` files, see the
|
||||
":ref:`kernel-dev/common:changing the configuration`"
|
||||
section in the Yocto Project Linux Kernel Development Manual.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding a Formfactor Configuration File
|
||||
======================================
|
||||
|
||||
A formfactor configuration file provides information about the target
|
||||
hardware for which the image is being built and information that the
|
||||
build system cannot obtain from other sources such as the kernel. Some
|
||||
examples of information contained in a formfactor configuration file
|
||||
include framebuffer orientation, whether or not the system has a
|
||||
keyboard, the positioning of the keyboard in relation to the screen, and
|
||||
the screen resolution.
|
||||
|
||||
The build system uses reasonable defaults in most cases. However, if
|
||||
customization is necessary, you need to create a ``machconfig`` file in
|
||||
the ``meta/recipes-bsp/formfactor/files`` directory. This directory
|
||||
contains directories for specific machines such as ``qemuarm`` and
|
||||
``qemux86``. For information about the settings available and the
|
||||
defaults, see the ``meta/recipes-bsp/formfactor/files/config`` file
|
||||
found in the same area.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example for "qemuarm" machine::
|
||||
|
||||
HAVE_TOUCHSCREEN=1
|
||||
HAVE_KEYBOARD=1
|
||||
DISPLAY_CAN_ROTATE=0
|
||||
DISPLAY_ORIENTATION=0
|
||||
#DISPLAY_WIDTH_PIXELS=640
|
||||
#DISPLAY_HEIGHT_PIXELS=480
|
||||
#DISPLAY_BPP=16
|
||||
DISPLAY_DPI=150
|
||||
DISPLAY_SUBPIXEL_ORDER=vrgb
