+--- + +## Overview + +This guide describes the deployment of the Yocto mirror and build environment within a corporate network after software approval has been obtained. + +**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 + +--- + +## 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 +- [ ] User has sudo privileges + +--- + +## Step 1: Extract Mirror Archive + +```bash +# Create base directory +export CORP_BASE=/opt/tqma6-yocto +sudo mkdir -p ${CORP_BASE} +sudo chown $(whoami):$(whoami) ${CORP_BASE} + +# Extract mirror archive +cd ${CORP_BASE} +tar xzf /path/to/transfer/tqma6-yocto-mirror-scarthgap-*.tar.gz + +# Verify structure +ls -la mirror-package/ +# Should show: sources/, licenses/, downloads/, build-instructions/ +``` + +--- + +## Step 2: Install Build Dependencies + +### 2.1 From Corporate Repository + +```bash +# Update package lists +sudo apt update + +# Install required packages (from approved corporate repos) +sudo apt install -y \ + gawk wget git diffstat unzip texinfo gcc build-essential \ + chrpath socat cpio python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \ + xz-utils debianutils

mirror-package/sources/* ./ + +# Setup downloads directory (offline) +mkdir -p downloads +cp -r mirror-package/downloads/* downloads/ 2>/dev/null || true +``` + +### 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

Workflow + +### 5.1 Daily Use + +```bash +# Enter build environment +cd ${CORP_BASE} +source poky-scarthgap/oe-init-build-env build + +# Build target +bitbake core-image-minimal + +# Deploy to target (SD card / eMMC) +# See TQ documentation for deployment methods +``` + +### 5.2 Adding Custom Layers + +If custom corporate layers are required: + +```bash +# Add to bblayers.conf +vim ${CORP_BASE}/build/conf/bblayers.conf + +# Add path to custom layer +# ${CORP_BASE}/meta-custom \ +``` + +### 5.3 SDK Generation + +For application development: + +```bash +# Generate SDK +bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk + +# Install SDK +${CORP_BASE}/build/tmp/deploy/sdk/*.sh + +# Source SDK environment +source /opt/poky/.../environment-setup-arm-poky-linux-gnueabi +``` + +--- + +## Maintenance + +### 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/ +``` + +--- + +## Troubleshooting + +### Issue: Network timeout errors + +**Cause:** BitBake trying to fetch from internet + +**Solution:** +```bash +# Verify BB_NO_NETWORK is set +grep BB_NO_NETWORK ${CORP_BASE}/build/conf/local.conf + +# Should show: BB_NO_NETWORK = "1" +``` + +### Issue: Missing source files + +**Cause:** Incomplete mirror transfer + +**Solution:** +```bash +# Check downloads directory +ls ${CORP_BASE}/downloads | wc -l +# Compare with external mirror + +# Re-transfer missing files +``` + +### Issue: Permission denied + +**Solution:** +```bash +# Fix ownership +sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) ${CORP_BASE} +``` + +--- + +## Security Considerations + +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 +4. **User Permissions:** Build as regular user, not root + +--- + +## Validation Checklist + +- [ ] Mirror extracted and verified +- [ ] Offline build successful +- [ ] 2038 compliance verified (64-bit time_t) +- [ ] License manifest generated +- [ ] Image deploys to target hardware +- [ ] SDK functional for application development + +--- + +## Support + +For issues: +1. Check [TQ BSP Documentation](https://github.com/tq-systems/meta-tq) +2. Review Yocto Project manuals (included in mirror) +3.
