A meta-layer for Embest MaaXBoard.
This is the "zeus" / Yocto 3.0.4 branch. The zeus branch can only support MaaXBoard Nano now, For MaaXBoard / MaaXBoard Mini, please checkout the "sumo" / Yocto 2.5.3 branch. The "zeus" branch will support MaaXBoard / MaaXBoard Mini in the end of Dec 2020.
You should have a linux machine, below instructions show how to setup the env on a Ubuntu:18.04 machine.

If you're going to build MaaXBoard Nano
$ cd imx-yocto-bsp
$ mkdir imx8mnevk
$ DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx8mnevk source imx-setup-release.sh -b imx8mnevk
$ rm -rf imx8mnevk$ cd imx-yocto-bsp
# Create the build directory
$ mkdir -p nano/build
# Create the default build conf in nano/build
$ source sources/poky/oe-init-build-env nano/buildYou should update 2 conf file in the build directory(nano/build/conf/):
- local.conf
- bblayers.conf
We provide a sample under /meta-maaxboard/conf:
- local.conf.sample.nano for MaaXBoard Nano
- bblayers.conf.sample
NOTE: variable 'BSPDIR' in bblayer.conf should be defined, the value should be the repo init directory. It is imx-yocto-bsp directory in above example
If you're going to build MaaXBoard Nano, you should change the Machine(in local.conf) to:
MACHINE ??= 'maaxboard-nano-ddr4-1g-sdcard'$ cd /path/to/bsp_dir/
$ source sources/poky/oe-init-build-env nano/build
$ bitbake lite-image# This image will be generated under: /path/to/nano/build/tmp/deploy/images/maaxboard-nano-ddr4-1g-sdcard/lite-image-maaxboard-nano-ddr4-1g-sdcard-20201116084413.rootfs.wic.bz2
# unzip the bz2 file
$ bunzip2 lite-image-maaxboard-nano-*.rootfs.wic.bz2
## dd
$ sudo dd if=lite-image-maaxboard-nano-ddr4-1g-sdcard-20201116084413.rootfs.wic of=/dev/sda bs=10M conv=fsync
$ syncThe default login is user 'root' with the password 'avnet'
$ cd /path/to/bsp_dir/
$ source sources/poky/oe-init-build-env nano/build
$ bitbake lite-image -c populate_sdk
# The SDK will be generated under: /path/to/nano/build/tmp/deploy/sdk/
# fsl-imx-wayland-lite-glibc-x86_64-lite-image-aarch64-toolchain-5.4-zeus.shFirst, You should get the SDK: fsl-imx-wayland-lite-glibc-x86_64-lite-image-aarch64-toolchain-5.4-zeus.sh
$ chmod +x fsl-imx-wayland-lite-glibc-x86_64-lite-image-aarch64-toolchain-5.4-zeus.sh

Here we want to show you how to setup a Debian Repository. In this way, you could use apt-get install to install packages that you built in Yocto.
This is the host machine that you build the Yocto images. If you want to setup a Debian repository, you should also install a web server here.
$ sudo apt install nginxBefore using apt-get install a package, you should first build it. Let's take nano for example.
$ cd /path/to/bsp_dir/
$ source sources/poky/oe-init-build-env maaxboard/build
$ bitbake nanoAfter build the packages, you should generate the package index files for apt-get to search.
First, change to the deb directory:
$ cd /home/build/maaxboard-nano/nano/build/tmp/deploy/deb
$ ls
aarch64 aarch64-mx8mn all maaxboard_nano_ddr4_1g_sdcardAdd a script called dpkg-scan.sh
$ nano dpkg-scan.shAdd
#!/bin/bash
ls -d */ | sed 's/\///' | cat | while IFS=' ' read -r item
do
echo "[$item]"
echo -e "\t- Delete pevious generated package info(./Package, ./Package.gz, ./Release)"
rm -rf ${item}/Packages.gz ${item}/Packages ${item}/Release
echo -e "\t- Scan Packages and generate Packages.gz"
dpkg-scanpackages ${item} | gzip > ${item}/Packages.gz
done$ sudo chmod +x ./dpkg-scan.shExec ./dpkg-scan.sh everytime you build a new package:
./dpkg-scan.shsudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/debAdd
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name yocto_deb_packages;
root /home/build/maaxboard/maaxboard-yocto/maaxboard/build/tmp/deploy/deb/;
location / {
autoindex on;
}
}

# Disable the nginx default site
$ sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
