Building basic images for ARC boards with OpenEmbedded

Preparation

Checkout OpenEmbedded sources

mkdir oe
cd oe
repo init -u https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/meta-synopsys -b master -m tools/manifests/synopsys-oe.xml
repo sync

Setup environment

. ./openembedded-core/oe-init-build-env
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-oe
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-synopsys

Start building

• vmlinux usable with nSIM simulator

  • for ARC700: MACHINE=nsim700 bitbake virtual/kernel
  • for ARCHS38: MACHINE=hapshs bitbake virtual/kernel

• SD-card image

  • for AXS101: MACHINE=axs101 bitbake core-image-base
  • for AXS103: MACHINE=ax103 bitbake core-image-base
  • for HSDK: MACHINE=hsdk bitbake core-image-base
