This is a miscellaneous software overlay for meta-oe and poky, tested on RaspberryPi and BeagleBoneBlack devices. It can be used with meta-openembedded and poky (master branch) or oe-core, but not oe-classic.
More information can be found at:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/ (official RPi site)
https://github.com/sarnold/meta-alt-desktop-extras/wiki
This layer should work with different OpenEmbedded/Yocto distributions and layer stacks, such as:
- Distro-less (only with OE-Core).
- Angstrom (main focus of upstream testing).
- meta-oe/poky (main focus of this fork; see Section 2 below).
and is tested locally with poky and meta-openembedded master branches.
This layer depends on:
URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky branch: master revision: HEAD
URI: git://github.com/openembedded/meta-oe.git layers: see below branch: master revision: HEAD
URI: git://github.com/sarnold/meta-small-arm-extra.git branch: master revision: HEAD
How to use it:
1 source poky/oe-init-build-env rpi-build
2 Add needed layers to bblayers.conf:
(for basic upstream hw image)
- meta-raspberrypi
- meta-small-arm-extra
- meta-openembedded/meta-oe
(for xorg-openbox image)
- meta-alt-desktop-extras
- meta-openembedded/meta-gnome
- meta-openembedded/meta-networking
- meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia
- meta-openembedded/meta-efl
- meta-openembedded/meta-xfce
3 Set MACHINE to raspberrypi in local.conf
4 Set any other desired parameters in local.conf (see following sections)
5 bitbake [rpi-hwup-image|xorg-openbox-image|console-image-plus]
6 dd the .sdimg file to an SD card
7 Boot your RPi.
