The lhg-oe-manifests repository contains the setup scripts for the OE RPB buildsystem (taken from OE RPB repo), along with a MMWG specific manifest.
The purpose of the MMWG manifest is manifest is to give working MMWG reference platform builds, where the integration of Chromium, OP-TEE and DRM has already been done and validated. This can then be used as a baseline reference implementation by Multimedia Working Group (MMWG) members.
The MMWG manifest includes additional OE layers such as meta-lhg and may also override other OE layers such as meta-browser with MMWG specific branches where integration has already been done. Other OE layers containing proprietary DRM systems are also available.
This repository also contains setup scripts for the OE RPB buildsystem. If you want to (re)build packages or images for OE RPB, this is the thing to use. The OE RPB buildsystem is using various components from the Yocto Project, most importantly the Openembedded buildsystem, the bitbake task executor and various application and BSP layers.
To configure the scripts and download the build metadata, do:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Run repo init to bring down the latest version of Repo with all its most recent bug fixes. You must specify a URL for the manifest, which specifies where the various repositories included in the Android source will be placed within your working directory. To check out the current branch, specify it with -b:
$ repo init -u https://github.com/linaro-mmwg/lhg-oe-manifests.git -b morty
When prompted, configure Repo with your real name and email address.
A successful initialization will end with a message stating that Repo is initialized in your working directory. Your client directory should now contain a .repo directory where files such as the manifest will be kept.
To pull down the metadata sources to your working directory from the repositories as specified in the default manifest, run
$ repo sync
When downloading from behind a proxy (which is common in some corporate environments), it might be necessary to explicitly specify the proxy that is then used by repo:
$ export HTTP_PROXY=http://<proxy_user_id>:<proxy_password>@<proxy_server>:<proxy_port>
$ export HTTPS_PROXY=http://<proxy_user_id>:<proxy_password>@<proxy_server>:<proxy_port>
More rarely, Linux clients experience connectivity issues, getting stuck in the middle of downloads (typically during "Receiving objects"). It has been reported that tweaking the settings of the TCP/IP stack and using non-parallel commands can improve the situation. You need root access to modify the TCP setting:
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0
$ repo sync -j1
MACHINE values can be:
- dragonboard-410c
- hikey
DISTRO values can be:
- rpb
- rpb-wayland
$ . setup-environment
$ MACHINE=<machine> DISTRO=<distro> bitbake <image>
meta-lhg layer defines two new image types, lhg-westeros-wpe-image and rpb-westonchromium-image.
e.g. MACHINE=hikey DISTRO=rpb-wayland bitbake rpb-westonchromium-image
Will build an image for HiKey with Chromium, OP-TEE, supporting Linaro external clear key already integrated.
Follow these instructions to build 32-bit userland with 64-bit kernel and kernel modules.
If you need to create local branches for all repos which then can be done e.g.
$ ~/bin/repo start myangstrom --all
Where 'myangstrom' is the name of branch you choose
If you need to bring changes from upstream then use following commands
$ repo sync
Rease your local committed changes
$ repo rebase
