Open Embedded Core Process Release Date
Added by Kevin Robertson over 11 years ago
Hi,
I'm trying to build a MityDSP Image from the currently released information/files without success,
I realize the details are preliminary on the Web Page "Installing Open Embedded Core" - is there any information on the next release of the Scripts/information?
Thanks

Kevin,
Have you seen this page Starter_Guide?
Also we just released a new MDK that contains an updated kernel and industrial io board filesystem.

I'm not entirely clear what you are looking for.

Are you refering to this other post?

It appears we overlooked this post. Sorry about that. The easiest way I know of to setup the development environment is to follow the instructions in the Starter Guide and download the VM that we setup. Please let us know if you run into additional problems or have more questions.

Hi,
Sorry for the lack of detail,
I want to setup an Open Embedded/Angstrom build system for a product I'm working on to allow us to tailor the root filesystem image to our requirements.
Look at the ARM Wiki there are instructions:
http://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/arm9-platforms/wiki/Installing_Open_Embedded_Core
which details the required steps BUT they are marked as Under Construction/Provisional.
I've been through the steps detailed in the page but I'm having issues building the mityomap-base target. I wanted to know when/if the plan was to update the page and release an updated set of bitbake recipes?
I can detail the problems with the recipes I've had but thought if there is going to be an update to the Web Page/another release of the Bitbake recipes I could re-test on that?
Thanks
Kevin

As of right now and the foreseeable future the bitbake process is not working.
Your best options for creating a custom filesystem image are to either:
1. Create an opkg file that modifies our base filesystem to match what you want- you can then host it, which would allow you to use opkg to install it on your devices and allow updates to it to be "easily" dispersed
- If this is something you'd like to pursue we should be able to post an example on how to create an okpg file.
- boot from it over nfs, for ease
- update it with the packages and libraries you need
- then re-tar the filesystem to create your own base filesystem tar ball
- This could then be converted to a .jffs2 if you want the filesystem to be installed in nand
