Build steps

1. Install packages on the build host

2. Clone Poky

   $ git clone git@github.com:diaspberry/poky.git
   

3. Clone Raspberry Pi Meta Layer

   $ cd poky
   $ git clone git@github.com:diaspberry/meta-raspberrypi.git
   

4. Clone Diaspberry Meta Layer

   $ git clone git@github.com:diaspberry/meta-diaspberry.git
   

5. Checkout Yocto release branch

   $ git checkout -b krogoth origin/krogoth
   

6. Initialize the Build Environment

   $ source oe-init-build-env build
   

7. Adjust the build cofiguration

   $ vim conf/local.conf
   
   --- 8< ---
   BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "9"
   PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 9"
   MACHINE ?= "raspberrypi"
   GPU_MEM = "16"
   --- >8 ---
   

8. Adjust the Bit Bake Layers configuration

   $ vim conf/bblayers.conf
   BBLAYERS ?= " \
       /workspace/diaspberry/poky/meta \
       /workspace/diaspberry/poky/meta-yocto \
       /workspace/diaspberry/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
       /workspace/diaspberry/poky/meta-raspberrypi \
       /workspace/diaspberry/poky/meta-diaspberry \
       "
   

9. Build the Basic image, this takes some time (~1 hour on fast machines)

   $ bitbake rpi-basic-image
   

10. Copy the image on a sd card. ATTENTION: Choose the right device for the SD Card carefully!

    $ sudo dd if=tmp/deploy/images/rpi-basic-image-raspberrypi.rpi-sdimg of=</dev/sdcard> bs=1M
    

Done. You can now put the SD Card into your Pi and boot Diaspberry.
