Hi Beth and Jessica,
Here is a summary of how I set up the IPK repo for ADT installer on my local
machine. Currently, there are 10 combinations (based on the following 2
variables in conf/local.conf) needs to be built for setting up the ADT
installer repo.
MACHINE: qemux86, qemuarm, qemuppc, qemumips, qemux86-64
SDKMACHINE: i586, x86_64
NOTE: Please make sure the PACKAGE_CLASSES has the value of "package_ipk".
First, we need to generate the kernel/target rootfs images, as well as the ipk
files and the repository index files. Then we need to make those generated
files available through HTTP protocol.
1. Generate kernel/target rootfs images, as well as the ipk files and
repository index files.
For each of the combinations:
1.1) bitbake poky-image-sdk
1.2) bitbake meta-toolchain-sdk
Step 1.2) will generate more ipk files than the ADT installer needs, and also
create the meta-toolchain-sdk-XXX.tar.gz under deploy/sdk which is not used by
the ADT installer. We may split step 1.2) into the following commands if we
just want to generate the files only for ADT installer.
bitbake task-sdk-host
#generate ipk files for host utils
bitbake task-cross-canadian-<TRNASLATED_TARGET_ARCH> #generate ipk files for
cross-canadian tool chain
bitbake package-index
#generate the repository index files
The <TRNASLATED_TARGET_ARCH> is based on the MACHINE configuration in
conf/local.conf
MACHINE <TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH>
qemux86 i586
qemuarm arm
qemuppc powerpc
qemumips mips
qemux86-64 x86-64
2. Setup a web server for adt-installer to access the files through http
protocol
The ADT-installer needs to access the following directories through http, so we
need to set up a web server for user to access.
${BUILD_DIR}/tmp/deploy/ipk
${BUILD_DIR}/tmp/deploy/images
b.t.w. I think the final directory layout of the repo will influence adt
installer, because currently the repo's top level layout is hard coded in the
installer. Here are something we think need to consider (Liping, pls add more
information here):
- yocto release version
- file name conventions for the built kernel
Best Regards,
