Problems building yocto for Xilinx ML507 (with some tentative fixes)

Problems building yocto for Xilinx ML507 (with some tentative fixes)

[Andrea Sterbini]

Hi
I have just bought an old Xilinx ML507 and I am trying to build yocto, 
but I find some problems building the minimal image
I am a yocto newbie ... thus I wonder if I am missing something important.

My setup: Linux Fedora 18 64 bits

I hope I am following the correct procedure:
> git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
> cd poky
> git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-xilinx -b 
> master-xilinx-ml507-gcc-4.7 meta-xilinx
> git clone git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
> . oe-init-build-env

My bblayers contains

>   /home/andrea/src/FPGA/poky/meta-xilinx \

My local.conf contains

The problems I have found (and someway fixed) are:

1) when I do "bitbake meta-toolchain" I get an error complaining that 
the compiler is not able to build for powerpc with FPU
Fix: I have changed the ml507 rules to include just the soft FPU

2) the libffi library version "3.0.12" has a small bug (a misplaced 
#ifndef), which is fixed in version "3.0.13"
Fix: I have added to my local.conf

> PREFERRED_VERSION_libffi = "3.0.13"
> PREFERRED_VERSION_libffi-native = "3.0.13"

This way the toolchain compiles properly

When I try "bitbake core-image-minimal" I get 2 problems:

1) the Xilinx git repository has moved from git.xilinx.com to 
github.com/Xilinx
Fix: I have changed the links in u-boot and linux-xilinx

2) bitbake complains about the license missing from the u-boot recipe
3) I have troubles also with the git.denx.de repository, which I can 
easily clone by hand but not by bitbake
Fix: I have added the required variables at the end (and fixed the git 
links)

There still some problems which stop my build ...
I will get them to you in a following email

I never did get soft-float to work properly with gcc-4.6 or gcc-4.7. I got soft-float to work with gcc-4.5.4.

hard float fpu support worked with gcc-4.7.

Were you able to boot and login to the command prompt with the generated images ?

Not yet.
I haven't been able to complete the complete run

     bitbake core-image-minimal

I moved to the meta-xilinx master branch
I am able to complete almost 1600 tasks of 1666 by doing (after the 
git.xilinx.com -> github.com/Xilinx fixes)

     bitbake core-image-minimal -k

The error I get is

Not a directory

The u-boot downloaded from github.com/Xilinx has no board/xilinx/ml507/ 
directory but only a board/xilinx/ppc440-generic
Now I will try the original from git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
(but bitbake seems to have problems fetching it)

Re: Problems building yocto for Xilinx ML507 (with some tentative fixes)

[Andrea Sterbini]

Updates

1) I was wrong with git.xilinx.com and git.denx.de not working ... it's 
just a HUGE download that took forever ... I have reverted my changes
2) I have been able to compile u-boot-xilinx (after some trial-error to 
generate the proper xparameters.h with XPS/XSDK, e.g. the FLASH memory 
is required)

A small fix was needed to complete u-boot-xilinx compilation ... I had 
to add
#include "xparameters.h"
to the file
board/xilinx/ppc440-generic/xilinx_ppc440_generic.c

3) I have been able to compile linux-xilinx,
but first I had to copy the file defconfig as 
linux-xilinx/3.3-r02/git/.config

Now core-image-minimal is done and I am going to try it (as soon I find 
how to build the ace)

All the best
AndreaS
