Yocto BSP 开发说明
Yocto BSP 开发说明
内容参考:http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.html#bsp
简介:
一个BSP(BoardSupport Package) 定义了如何去支持一个或者一类特定的硬件设备,或者硬件平台.
1 BSP layers:
BSP layers 的命名: meta-bsp_name, 如meta-minnow, meta-raspberrypi, and meta-intel .
源码来源: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-minnow
向conf/bblayers.conf: BBLAYERS 添加BSP的layers 路径
2 从文件组织来说明BSPlayers
下面是可能存在差异的文件列表:

meta-bsp_name/README.sources
meta-bsp_name/binary/bootable_images
meta-bsp_name/conf/layer.conf
meta-bsp_name/conf/machine/*.conf
meta-bsp_name/recipes-bsp/*
meta-bsp_name/recipes-core/*
meta-bsp_name/recipes-graphics/*
meta-bsp_name/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_kernel_rev.bbappend

2.1 License Files
meta-bsp_name/bsp_license_file
eMenlow 的license 文件是COPYING.MIT.
还可以是MIT,BSD, GPLv* 等等.
2.2 README
meta-bsp_name/README , 它需要提供如何启动的方法,最少也得包含依赖关系和联系方式.
2.3. README.sources
meta-bsp_name/README.sources , 它提供了BSP源代码的存储路径和来源地址.
2.4. Pre-built User Binaries
meta-bsp_name/binary/bootable_images , 存储了已经编译好的二进制kernel和rootfs.
2.5. Layer Configuration File
meta-bsp_name/conf/layer.conf ,下面是模版,需要用真实的名字替换掉bsp.
# We have a conf and classes directory, add to BBPATH
BBPATH .= ":${LAYERDIR}"
# We have a recipes directory, add to BBFILES
BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb \
${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbappend"
BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "bsp"
BBFILE_PATTERN_bsp = "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_bsp = "6"
LAYERDEPENDS_bsp = "intel"
2.6. Hardware Configuration Options
meta-bsp_name/conf/machine/*.conf
硬件的配置信息.
2.7. Miscellaneous BSP-Specific Recipe Files
meta-bsp_name/recipes-bsp/*
包含一些BSP特定的package.
2.8. Display Support Files
meta-bsp_name/recipes-graphics/*
它可以代表一类可以运行在该BSP上的package.
2.9. Linux Kernel Configuration
meta-bsp_name/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto*.bbappend
它可以配置kernel信息.
3 发布BSP的需求和推荐
3.1. Released BSP Requirements
在GIT上发布一个BSP,我们需要严格按照BSP的书写格式填写相关的文件.
3.2. Released BSP Recommendations
发布BSP的可选项: 可启动的bootimage 以及 一个特定的yoctokernel recipes.
4 自定义一个BSP的recipe
在”xyz”中定义一个BSP相关的interfaces工具基于init-ifupdown_1.0.bb.
· 编辑init-ifupdown_1.0.bbappend
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
· 建立interfaces的存储位置
meta-xyz/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/files/xyz-machine-one/interfaces
如果BSP只支持一个硬件机器,可以改为: meta-xyz/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/files/interfaces

6 使用Yocto的BSP 工具
Yocto 工程已经包含了一系列的BSP 工具 : yocto-bsp 和 yocto-kernel .
6.1. Common Features
$ source oe-init-build-env build_dir
$ yocto-bsp help
$ yocto-bsp help create
6.2. 通过yocto-bsp工具创建BSPlayers
$ yocto-bsp list karch
Architectures available:
qemu
mips64
powerpc
x86_64
arm
