Other Boards and Images
There are other recipes in IoT Yocto that supports different development boards and also different software packages. This section shows how to build for different boards and build a different image.
Warning
The boards listed below contains 3rd party boards and boards under development. There is no guarantee that these combinations would work out-of-box.
Build for Other Boards
You can use the MACHINE
variable to assign the board you would like to build:
DISTRO=rity-demo MACHINE=<machine> bitbake rity-demo-image
The available values for <machine>
can be found in the $BUILD_DIR/conf/local.conf
configuration file. A snip of the file is shown below:
# uncomment the line related to the target
#MACHINE ??= "genio-1200-evk"
#MACHINE ??= "genio-350-evk"
#MACHINE ??= "genio-510-evk"
MACHINE ??= "genio-700-evk"
You can also locate all the reference IoT board recipes in:
src/meta-mediatek-bsp/conf/machine/
For example, if the .conf
files in the directory are:
genio-1200-evk.conf -> mt8395-evk.conf
genio-1200-evk-p1v1.conf -> mt8395-evk-p1v1.conf
genio-1200-evk-ufs.conf -> mt8395-evk-ufs.conf
genio-350-evk.conf -> mt8365-evk.conf
genio-510-evk.conf -> mt8370-evk.conf
genio-700-evk.conf -> mt8390-evk.conf
mt8183-evb.conf
mt8183-pumpkin.conf
mt8365-evk.conf
mt8365-pumpkin.conf
mt8365-sb35.conf
mt8370-evk.conf
mt8390-evk.conf
mt8395-evb-ufs.conf
mt8395-evk.conf
mt8395-evk-p1v1.conf
mt8395-evk-ufs.conf
mt8516-pumpkin.conf
Note that genio-1200-evk.conf
is an alias to mt8395-evk.conf
. In this case, the following <machine>
names are available:
genio-1200-evk
mt8395-evk
For details, please refer to the BSP documentation.
Other Images
The IoT Yocto bringup image (rity-bringup-image
) is mostly used for BSP development and board bringup.
The image contains the some tools necessary to validate software and hardware.
rity-bringup-image is designed to be built with the DISTRO
variable set
to the following:
DISTRO=rity-bringup
You can use the following command to build the rity-bringup-image:
DISTRO=rity-bringup MACHINE=<machine> bitbake rity-bringup-image
The resulting image is located in
$BUILD_DIR/tmp/deploy/images/<machine>
Please note that the same image directory may contain multiple distro images.
For example, if you build both rity-demo-image
and rity-bringup-image
for g350-EVK:
DISTRO=rity-demo MACHINE=g350-evk bitbake rity-demo-image
DISTRO=rity-bringup MACHINE=g350-evk bitbake rity-bringup-image
The image directory $BUILD_DIR/tmp/deploy/images/g350-evk
contains both images.
You can use genio-flash-tool -i <image-name>
to select the image you want to flash.
For example, to flash rity-bring-image
, use:
genio-flash -i rity-bringup-image
For more details, please refer to Genio Tools page.
