The meta-aws project provides recipes for building in AWS edge software capabilities to Embedded Linux built with OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project build frameworks.
This layer depends on the additional mandatory layers:
- meta-yocto-bsp
- meta-openembedded/meta-oe
- meta-openembedded/meta-filesystems
- meta-openembedded/meta-python
Please make sure you have them in your Yocto Project.
The following tutorial is useful to start building your own Yocto project. The development machine should be running Ubuntu 16.04 and above.
More information on how to get started can be found in the original Yocto documentation: https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#yp-resources
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat libsdl1.2-dev xterm lzop u-boot-tools git build-essential curl libusb-1.0-0-dev python-pip minicom libncurses5-dev
sudo pip install --upgrade pip && sudo pip install pyserial
Additional packages might be needed depending on the intended image build
Clone sources:
git clone --branch fido git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git ~/yocto/poky
git clone --branch fido git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded ~/yocto/meta-openembedded
Setup environment:
cd ~/yocto
source poky/oe-init-build-env
Set machine in the configuration file ~/yocto/build/conf/local.conf:
MACHINE ??= <target_machine>
Or simply export the variable globally:
export MACHINE = <target_machine>
Adding the meta-aws layer to the project can be done via the command
bitbake-layers add-layer meta-aws
or simply editing the bblayers.conf file ~/yocto/build/conf directory
Once the setup is done the recipes provided in the meta-aws will be available and can be added to the target image by adding:
IMAGE_INSTALL += "<name-of-the-bb-recipe>"
after which the image can be built with the command:
bitbake <image-name>
