     82The Gateworks Ventana Yocto BSP provides a layer of package recipes that replace or override recipes in the upstream Yocto project such as:
     83</p>
     84<ul><li>kernel
     85</li><li>bootloader
     86</li><li>filesystem images
     87</li><li>support utilities
     88</li></ul><p>

     96<p>
     97For convenience Gateworks has some pre-built ubi files available. Note that you need to download a UBI image appropriate for the FLASH size on your board. Gateworks Ventana boards come with either 256MB NAND Flash or 2GB NAND Flash. You can see the size output from the bootloader over the serial console.

     308<p>
     309The <a class="missing wiki">OpenEmbedded?</a> build system does a fairly good job of reporting build errors in a sane way to help you diagnose the problem.
     310</p>
     311<p>
     312In general, for each package that failed, you will see three lines of output from <tt>bitbake</tt> for each package. For example, the following shows a 'fetch error' for the <tt>evtest_1.25</tt> package:
     313</p>
     314<div class="code"><pre>ERROR: Function failed: Fetcher failure <span class="k">for </span>URL: <span class="s1">'http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~whot/evtest/snapshot/evtest-1.25.tar.bz2;name=archive'</span>. Unable to fetch URL from any source.
     315ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /usr/src/tharvey/nightly/yocto/danny/20140820_8bd8be2d/build/tmp/work/armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/evtest-1.25-r0/temp/log.do_fetch.23170
     316ERROR: Task 452 <span class="o">(</span>/usr/src/tharvey/nightly/yocto/danny/20140820_8bd8be2d/sources/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-support/evtest/evtest_1.25.bb, do_fetch<span class="o">)</span> failed with <span class="nb">exit </span>code <span class="s1">'1'</span>
     317</pre></div><p>
     318The first ERROR line here shows the cause of the issue, the second shows where the detailed log of the failure is, and the third simply says what package and task failed. If you need assistance understanding a particular error, you will want to provide the three lines above as well as the log file pointed to in the second line.
     319</p>
     320<h3 id="Fetchfailure">Fetch failure</h3>
     321<p>
     322The most common build failure (of any linux build system) is failure to be able to fetch sources for the 100's of <a class="missing wiki">OpenSource?</a> projects the build system uses from the Internet. This can be caused by a network issue on your end, a network issue on the source package sites end, or a site/file that has been permanently moved/removed.
     323</p>
     324<p>
     325If this occurs you will see an 'ERROR: Function failed: Fetcher failure' message such as the following output from <tt>bitbake</tt>:
     326</p>
     327<div class="code"><pre>ERROR: Function failed: Fetcher failure <span class="k">for </span>URL: <span class="s1">'http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~whot/evtest/snapshot/evtest-1.25.tar.bz2;name=archive'</span>. Unable to fetch URL from any source.
     328</pre></div><p>
     329If you encounter such an error the most obvious thing to make sure your Internet connection is solid and try first is simply <tt>bitbake</tt> your desired package again. If it occurs again, its likely an issue on the site that the package URI specifies as the package source. This could be a temporary issue, or the site/file could have been permanently moved/removed for some reason and your either building an older BSP or the package source simply hasn't been updated to deal with the change (as I mentioned, this is a common issue).
     330</p>
     331<p>
     332To combat this issue, there are mirrors where you may be able to find the missing file(s). Note that Gateworks provides such a mirror that it tries to keep updated at <a class="ext-link" href="http://dev.gateworks.com/sources"><span class="icon">​</span>http://dev.gateworks.com/sources</a>. Once you find the file, copy it to your download directory, touch the file indicating the fetch is done (the source file with a .done on the end) and <tt>bitbake</tt> your package again. For example, the above shows a failure to fetch the <tt>evtest-1.25.tar.bz2</tt> file:
     333</p>
     334<div class="code"><pre>wget http://dev.gateworks.com/sources/evtest-1.25.tar.bz2
     335cp evtest-1.25.tar.bz2 downloads/
     336touch downloads/evtest-1.25.tar.bz2.done
     337bitbake gateworks-image-multimedia
     338</pre></div><h3 id="UpstreamBreakage">Upstream Breakage</h3>
     339<p>
     340It is not uncommon for community based projects such as Yocto to encounter build failures after changes because of the complexity of the build system. In some cases breakage may occur simply because of collisions between upstream Yocto repos and the packages that Gateworks overrides.
     341</p>
     342<p>
     343If you are building an 'un-pinned' release (you are not using a snapshot of the manifest file which has sha revisions for each repository) and you encounter a build failure, you may want to switch to a manifest file that produced a successful build by the Gateworks nightly build server. Manifests point to source code repositories by network server and branch, but typically do not pin the branch to a specific repository commit. A 'pinned' snapshot can be used instead that does specify a specific commit of each repository and branch. Refer to step 3 in the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/Yocto/Building#build">instructions above</a>
     344</p>

     347</p>
     348<h2 id="Keepinguptodateandorpinningsourcewithrepo">Keeping up to date and/or pinning source with repo</h2>
     349<p>
     350When building projects that use multiple source repositories any repository may change and thus make your working directory out of date. Because Yocto uses several package feeds with their own repositories this can make it difficult to keep in sync - this is where the <tt>repo</tt> tool comes in handy.
     351</p>
     352<p>
     353The <tt>repo sync</tt> command will update all repositories with upstream changes:
     354</p>
     355<div class="code"><pre>repo sync --quiet
     356</pre></div><p>
     357You can override the default Manifest by using a local manifest file if you want to keep in sync with the upstream manifest yet make some minor change like pin a specific project or add a couple of projects. Reasons for doing this could be:
     358</p>
     359<ul><li>adding new projects
     360</li><li>pinning certain projects
     361</li><li>removing certain projects
     362</li></ul><p>
     363To use a local manifest create <tt>.repo/local_manifest.xml</tt> and it will be merged with <tt>.repo/manifest.xml</tt> by the <tt>repo</tt> tool whenever the manifest is used. You can use the <tt>remove-project</tt> directive to remove a project that you don't want and even add it back with your own choices if you want something different. For example:
     364</p>
     365<div class="code"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;</span>
     366<span class="nt">&lt;manifest&gt;</span>
     367   <span class="nt">&lt;remove-project</span> <span class="na">path=</span><span class="s">"hardware/qcom/display"</span> <span class="na">name=</span><span class="s">"CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_display"</span> <span class="nt">/&gt;</span>
     368   <span class="nt">&lt;project</span> <span class="na">path=</span><span class="s">"hardware/qcom/display"</span> <span class="na">name=</span><span class="s">"WinSuk/android_hardware_qcom_display"</span> <span class="nt">/&gt;</span>
     369<span class="nt">&lt;/manifest&gt;</span>
     370</pre></div><p>
     371The <tt>repo manifest</tt> command will create a snapshot of your current project's manifest allowing you to create a pinned version that can be used later to create a working directory with the various projects at the exact same state as your current working directory:
     372</p>
     373<div class="code"><pre>repo manifest -o snapshot.xml -r
     374</pre></div><p>
     375This snapshot can then be copied over <tt>.repo/manifest.xml</tt> in a different build directory to pin the repository sources.
     376</p>
     377<p>
     378The Gateworks nightly build server creates a manifest snapshot like this and uploads the latest successful build to <a class="ext-link" href="http://dev.gateworks/com/yocto"><span class="icon">​</span>http://dev.gateworks/com/yocto</a> so that it can be used to re-create a successful nightly build.

     389</p>
     390<h2 id="Updatingandrebuilding">Updating and rebuilding</h2>
     391<p>
     392From time to time the various repositories including in the Yocto build (a combination of Gateworks packages, community packages, Freescale community packages, and Yocto community packages) will get updates to various packages to add features or resolve issues.
     393</p>
     394<p>
     395The <tt>repo</tt> tool which manages the set of repositories in your yocto directory (based on a package manifest) can 'sync' all repos to the latest state using the following in the main yocto directory (the directory containing the sources and build subdirs:
     396</p>
     397<div class="code"><pre>./repo sync
     398</pre></div><p>
     399Following a sync, you can <tt>bitbake</tt> your filesystem image again to build a new filesystem with all updates:
     400</p>
     401<div class="code"><pre><span class="c"># activate a bitbake shell if not already done
     402</span>. ./setup-environment build
     403bitbake gateworks-image-multimedia
     404</pre></div><ul><li>build the filesystem image of your liking
     405</li></ul><h2 id="Diskusageandkeepingthingsclean">Disk usage and keeping things clean</h2>
     406<p>
     407Yocto builds can chew up a lot of disk space (true really of any OS build system).
     408</p>
     409<p>
     410<tt>Bitbake</tt> will keep copies of all workdirs for old packages, so over time if you update recipes (or <tt>repo sync</tt> which may update recipes) your disk usage will grow. You can safely remove the old packages manually from <tt>build/tmp</tt> if you wish, or use <tt>bitbake -cclean &lt;recipe.bb&gt;</tt> to clean specific recipes (note that <tt>bitbake -cclean &lt;package&gt;</tt> will only clean the current preferred version, not old packages).
     411</p>
     412<p>
     413Another thing that can cause disk usage bloat is filesystem images. Each time you build a filesystem image (ie gateworks-image-*) <tt>bitbake</tt> will create a new one with a timestamp in <tt>build/tmp/deploy/images/</tt> and the build system will keep around several artifacts such as the filesystem tarball, the ubifs, and the ubi (thus a filesystem image resulting in a 100MB UBI actually chews up over 300MB of disk space each time you build it depending on compression). Its very likely that if you are re-building an image, you probably don't care about the old ones, so you might want to get in the habit of removing them before building. For example, if you want to build gateworks-image-multimedia:
     414</p>
     415<div class="code"><pre>rm -rf build/tmp/deploy/images/gateworks-image-multimedia* ;<span class="c"># remove old images we don't care about
     416</span>bitbake gateworks-image-multimedia ;<span class="c"># build a new one
     417</span></pre></div><p>
     418For Yocto, all temporary files will be in build/tmp so if you want to clear out everything and start over you can:
     419</p>

     433You can use <tt>bitbake</tt> to create a toolchain (cross-compiler) or an Software Development Kit (SDK) comprised of a cross-toolchain and libs.

     455<p>
     456There are 2 options:

     458<ol><li>TFTP Server (recommended) - Read below
     459</li><li>JTAG Programmer (more steps and slower, requires no network)- Link <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/jtag_instructions#CreatingjtagableimagesforVentana">here</a>
     460</li></ol><p>
     461Boards with a NAND FLASH large enough to accommodate your image (Ventana boards have a 256MB NAND flash by default which is large enough for fsl-image-multimedia) can have the UBI filesystem created by the build process placed on them. A ubi image will be built in tmp/deploy/images directory alongside the kernel and filesystem tarballs. The ubi image will end with _normal.ubi which is suitable for standard NAND flash sizes on Ventana boards. If you have a Ventana with a 2GB or larger NAND device, you need to build for the 'large' NAND flash layout which you can do by changing the UBI_CONFIG variable in <tt>sources/meta-gateworks/conf/machine/ventana.conf</tt> from 'normal' to 'large' which will result in a ubi image ending with <tt>_large.ubi</tt>.

     464To install firmware to a Ventana board using Serial/ENET, do the following:

     494For this, do not use the .ubi file. Use the tarball, for example: gateworks-image-gui-ventana.tar.bz2

     497To image the built firmware onto a removable flash device such as an mSATA disk, uSD card, or USB stick you can use the following script which creates a single ext4 partition for rootfs.
     498</p>
     499<div class="code"><pre><span class="nv">DISK</span><span class="o">=</span>/dev/sdc
     500<span class="c"># create a single Linux partition
     501</span><span class="nb">printf</span> <span class="s2">",,L,,\n"</span> | sudo sfdisk -uS <span class="k">${</span><span class="nv">DISK</span><span class="k">}</span>
     502<span class="c"># format it as ext4
     503</span>sudo mkfs.ext4 <span class="k">${</span><span class="nv">DISK</span><span class="k">}</span>1
     504<span class="c"># mount it
     505</span>sudo mount <span class="k">${</span><span class="nv">DISK</span><span class="k">}</span>1 /mnt/disk
     506<span class="c"># untar the filesystem image
     507</span>sudo tar -C /mnt/disk -xvf tmp/deploy/images/ventana/gateworks-image-gui-ventana.tar.bz2
     508sudo umount /mnt/disk
     509</pre></div><ul><li>Notes:
     510<ul><li><strong>set DISK to the appropriate device on your Linux Host (it may very well differ from <tt>/dev/sdc</tt>). If you do not do this, you risk overwriting your OS partition</strong>. Once the flash device is plugged into the computer, you can find the device by typing <tt>mount</tt> and examining the output. For example if A flash stick with 1 partition shows as <tt>/dev/sdc1</tt> then the block device is <tt>/dev/sdc</tt> (the 1 is the first partition)

     512Using the latest bootloader and bootloader env scripts simply placing this removable media in a Ventana board will boot it.
