Updated Core TI-SDK setup and build instructions

Updated Core TI-SDK setup and build instructions

[Denys Dmytriyenko]

All,

Here are the updated instructions on how to setup your build environment for
the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded in order to build our Core TI-SDK images
out of "meta-ti" TI BSP layer and "meta-arago" Arago Project distribution:

http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_Up_Build_Environment

Please let me know of any comments, questions or feedback. Thanks.

Hi Denys.

Overall, the wiki looks clear. I have some questions.

The wiki does not address the SDK releases. I want to reproduce exactly
amsdk-05.07.00.00. Do I use the arago 2011.09 toolchain or the linaro
toolchain? Also, if I want to reproduce the amsdk-05.07.00.00 release when
some recipes always get the latest from a git repo or a svn repo, is there
a list of SRCREV overrides somewhere that I can put in my local.conf so I
can be sure I build with the version that was tested and released rather
than the latest version in the repo?

Thanks.

Paul,

Those are all good questions!

There are config files in oe-layersetup repository that correspond to specific 
product releases (coresdk, amsdk and mcsdk). They usually point to the HEAD of 
corresponding layers (same as arago-danny-config, for example) during 
development phase, and locked down to specific tags or commit IDs once the 
release is out. So, in order to reproduce amsdk-05.07.00.00, you'd need to use 
a corresponding amsdk/amsdk-05.07.00.00-config file with oe-layertool-setup 
script. That config file has all the layers locked down to specific tags and 
commit IDs, so the setup doesn't change over time. It also uses amsdk-specific 
integration copies of meta-ti and meta-arago repos for tagging purposes, or if 
there were any last minute fixes/hacks that didn't go into official meta-ti 
and meta-arago. amsdk-05.07.00.00 used the old Arago toolchain 2011.09, so if 
you want to reproduce it exactly, you should use the same toolchain.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks.

I see the metadata file revisions are locked down. Still I have questions.

I ran the oe-layertool-setup.sh script but still there are recipes, the
ltp-ddt .bbappend files in
sources/meta-arago/meta-arago-distro/recipes-devtools/ltp-ddt, that have
SRCREV = "{AUTOREV}".

I expected the automatically generated local.conf to contain something like
SRCREV_pn-ltp-ddt = "70e324b8352e817485cc5e6865341c1a40118f78" (or some
such SHA1) so I know I build the same ltp-ddt that was used to generate the
SDK.

Did I miss a step? Is there a configuration file somewhere else I did not
find? To get the sources for the bitbake metadata, I ran

git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/oe-layersetup.git amsdk
cd amsdk
/oe-layertool-setup.sh -f configs/amsdk/amsdk-05.07.00.00-config.txt

Also, in meta-arago-extras/recipes-connectivity/wpa-supplicant/
wpa-supplicant_r5.00.18.bb,
meta-arago-extras/recipes-connectivity/wpa-supplicant/
wpa-supplicant_r5.sp4.01.bb,
meta-arago-extras/recipes-bsp/ti-compat-wireless/
ti-compat-wireless-wl12xx_r5.sp4.01.bb and
meta-arago-extras/recipes-connectivity/hostap/hostap-daemon_r5.00.18.bbthere
are SRCREV = "git tag" instead of a SHA1. This makes it harder to
make a local source mirror. Would it be possible in the future releases to
use the SHA1 and have a comment explaining the tag?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, ltp-ddt is still AUTOREV-ed, unfortunately. But it is a test tool anyway 
and should not be part of the production system... We should probably look 
into pinning it as well for the releases - all other packages are pinned, as 
far as I know.

You mean this commit from last month?
