NOTE: to have ADAS View and HAD Solution kits supported follow instructions: R-Car Yocto Gen3 ADAS

Build using script

This example is for H3ULCB board.
If you use other board, you need to modify the script.

  1. Directory Structure
    |--build.sh
    `--proprietary
       |--R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_for_Linux-20190722.zip
       `--R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_of_Linux_Drivers-20190722.zip
    
  2. Build script(build.sh)
    #!/bin/bash
    
    #Set the target board
    TARGET_BOARD=h3ulcb
    #TARGET_BOARD=m3ulcb
    
    # Create a directory and switch to it
    mkdir $TARGET_BOARD
    cd $TARGET_BOARD
    WORK=`pwd`
    echo $WORK
    
    # Clone basic Yocto layers in parallel

    cd $WORK/build
    cp conf/local-wayland.conf conf/local.conf
    echo 'DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " use_eva_pkg"' >> $WORK/build/conf/local.conf
    
    bitbake core-image-weston
    
  3. build
    ./build.sh
    
    If the build completes successfully, all the necessary files are generated in a following directory:
    ./<target_board_name>/build/tmp/deploy/images/<target_board_name>
    

Build using manual steps

  1. Create a directory and switch to it
    Warning! Yocto builds require a lot of disk space (up to 100 GB). Make sure you have got enough before starting the build.
    mkdir build
    cd build
    export WORK=`pwd`
    
  2. Clone basic Yocto layers:
    cd $WORK
    git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
    git clone git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
    git clone git://git.linaro.org/openembedded/meta-linaro.git
    git clone https://github.com/renesas-rcar/meta-renesas
    
  3. Switch to proper branches/commits (2022/08/25 updated)
    cd $WORK/poky
    git checkout -b tmp 7e7ee662f5dea4d090293045f7498093322802cc
    cd $WORK/meta-openembedded
    git checkout -b tmp 352531015014d1957d6444d114f4451e241c4d23
    cd $WORK/meta-linaro
    git checkout -b tmp 75dfb67bbb14a70cd47afda9726e2e1c76731885
    cd $WORK/meta-renesas
    git checkout -b tmp e5267d02de785b972aa78afecfff390168e11a6d <= 2022/08/25 updated
    
    Another versions are not tested for compatibility.
    Legacy BSP instruction can be found here R-Car Yocto Gen3 legacy
  4. Create $WORK/../proprietary folder, then download proprietary driver modules to it.
    See also Required_packages
    You should see the following files:
    $ ls -1 $WORK/../proprietary/*.zip
    R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_for_Linux-20190722.zip
    R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_of_Linux_Drivers-20190722.zip
    
  5. Populate meta-renesas with proprietary software packages.
    export PKGS_DIR=$WORK/../proprietary
    cd $WORK/meta-renesas
    sh meta-rcar-gen3/docs/sample/copyscript/copy_evaproprietary_softwares.sh -f $PKGS_DIR
    unset PKGS_DIR
    
  6. Setup build environment
    cd $WORK
    source poky/oe-init-build-env $WORK/build
    
  7. Prepare default configuration files.
    cp $WORK/meta-renesas/meta-rcar-gen3/docs/sample/conf/<h3ulcb|m3ulcb>/poky-gcc/mmp/*.conf ./conf/
    cd $WORK/build
    cp conf/local-wayland.conf conf/local.conf
    
  8. (Edit $WORK/build/conf/local.conf to enable/disable graphics and multimedia proprietary drivers support)
  9. Edit local.conf with evaluation packages requirements:
    DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " use_eva_pkg"
    
  10. Start the build
    bitbake core-image-weston
    
  11. Building image can take up to a few hours depending on your host system performance.
    After the build has been completed successfully, you should see the output similar to:
    NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 4704 tasks of which 31 didn't need to be rerun and all succeeded.
    
    and the command prompt should return.
  12. Bitbake has generated all the necessary files in ./tmp/deploy/images directory.
    You can verify its content:
    $ ls -1 `find ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/ -maxdepth 1 -type l -print`
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/core-image-weston-h3ulcb.cpio.gz
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/core-image-weston-h3ulcb.ext4
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/core-image-weston-h3ulcb.manifest
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/core-image-weston-h3ulcb.tar.bz2
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-h3ulcb.bin
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-r8a7795-es1-h3ulcb.dtb
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb-4x2g.dtb
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/modules-h3ulcb.tgz
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/u-boot.bin
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/u-boot-elf-h3ulcb.srec
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/u-boot-elf.srec
    ./tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/u-boot-h3ulcb.bin
    
    Image is a Kernel image, *.dtb is a blob file, core-image-weston-h3ulcb.tar.bz2 is the rootfs, modules-h3ulcb.tgz are kernel modules.
  13. You can now proceed with running Yocto images

Build SDK

  • After building BSP you may build SDK:
    bitbake core-image-weston -c populate_sdk
    
  • After build finished the SDK installation script may be found in following path:
    tmp/deploy/sdk/poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-weston-aarch64-toolchain-*.sh
    
  • Install SDK by run the following command and follow instructions on the screen:
    ./tmp/deploy/sdk/poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-weston-aarch64-toolchain-*.sh
    
  • setup environment variables for each compilation on each Host PCs
    cd (Your working directory)
    source /opt/poky/2.4.3/environment-setup-aarch64-poky-linux
    export LDFLAGS=””
    ${CC} (Your source code).c …..
    

Running Yocto images

Linux kernel can be booted from microSD card or from TFTP. Root FS can be mounted from micro SD card or via NFS.

Combination of board and dtb file

Please refer to here .

Loading kernel via TFTP and rootfs via NFS

Follow these steps to setup working TFTP and NFS server:

  1. Setup a TFTP server.
    Ubuntu
    Install tftpd-hpa package along with tftp tools:
    sudo apt-get install tftp tftpd-hpa
    
    Fedora
    1. Install necessary packages:
      sudo yum install tftp-server tftp
      
      tftp-server is a part of xinetd. See Fedora manual for more information.
    2. Enable TFTP server:
      sudo vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
      
      Set
      disable = no
      
      Save file and exit.
    3. Start xinetd:
      sudo systemctl start xinetd.service
      sudo systemctl enable xinetd.service
      
  2. Copy Image and Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb (for ws2.0 silicon) and/or Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb-4x2g.dtb (for RTP0RC77951SKBX010SA03(DDR 8GiB)) and/or Image-r8a7795-es1-h3ulcb.dtb (for ws1.1) from $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/ to TFTP server root.
    Ubuntu
    cp $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image /srv/tftp/
    cp $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-r8a7795-es1-h3ulcb.dtb /srv/tftp/
    cp $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb /srv/tftp/
    cp $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb-4x2g.dtb /srv/tftp/
    
    Fedora
    cp $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image /var/lib/tftpboot/
    cp $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-r8a7795-es1-h3ulcb.dtb /var/lib/tftpboot/
    cp $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb /var/lib/tftpboot/
    cp $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb-4x2g.dtb /var/lib/tftpboot/
    
    Which version is my H3SK board?
  3. Verify that TFTP server is working.
    tftp localhost -c get Image && ls Image
    
  4. Setup NFS server.
    Debian/Ubuntu
    1. Install necessary packages:
      sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common
      
    2. Start NFS server:
      sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
      
    Fedora
    1. Install necessary packages:
      • sudo yum install nfs-utils
        
    2. Enable and start nfs server:
      sudo systemctl enable rpcbind.service 
      sudo systemctl enable nfs-server.service 
      sudo systemctl enable nfs-lock.service 
      sudo systemctl enable nfs-idmap.service
      sudo systemctl start rpcbind.service 
      sudo systemctl start nfs-server.service 
      sudo systemctl start nfs-lock.service 
      sudo systemctl start nfs-idmap.service
      
  5. Export root FS to NFS. (Change IMAGE and MACHINE to fit your build).
    1. Unpack rootfs to a dedicated directory:
      IMAGE=weston
      MACHINE=h3ulcb|m3ulcb
      NFS_ROOT=/nfs/${MACHINE}
      sudo mkdir -p "${NFS_ROOT}"
      sudo rm -rf "${NFS_ROOT}"/*
      sudo tar -xjf "${WORK}/build/tmp/deploy/images/${MACHINE}/core-image-${IMAGE}-${MACHINE}-*.tar.bz2" -C "${NFS_ROOT}"
      sync
      
    2. Edit /etc/exports:
      sudo vi /etc/exports
      
      add
      /nfs/h3ulcb	*(rw,no_subtree_check,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
      /nfs/m3ulcb	*(rw,no_subtree_check,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
      
      Save the file and exit.
    3. Force NFS server to re-read /etc/exports
      sudo exportfs -a
      
  6. Verify that NFS is working.
    [builduser@buildmachine ~]$ showmount -e localhost
    Export list for localhost:
    /nfs/h3ulcb *
    /nfs/m3ulcb *
    
  7. Boot into U-Boot command prompt
    1. Connect to serial console over microUSB using minicom or picocom.
    2. Switch the board on or reset it. Press any key to stop U-Boot automatic countdown.
    Refer to H3SK board page, M3SK board page for more information.
  8. Configure Ethernet, TFTP, and kernel command line in U-Boot:
    setenv ipaddr <board-ip>
    setenv serverip <your-computer-ip>
    setenv bootcmd 'tftp 0x48080000 Image; tftp 0x48000000 Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb; booti 0x48080000 - 0x48000000'
    setenv bootargs 'ignore_loglevel rw root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=<your-computer-ip>:<nfs-path>,nfsvers=3 ip=<board-ip>:<your-computer-ip>::255.255.255.0:h3ulcb'
    saveenv
    
    Replace <board-ip> with the proper IP address for the board. Replace <your-computer-ip> with the IP address of your computer, where tftp and nfs servers are installed. Replace <nfs-path> with the exported path of the root FS.
    For example:
    setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.3
    setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
    setenv bootcmd 'tftp 0x48080000 Image; tftp 0x48000000 Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb; booti 0x48080000 - 0x48000000'
    setenv bootargs 'ignore_loglevel rw root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.2:/nfs/h3ulcb,nfsvers=3 ip=192.168.1.3:192.168.1.2::255.255.255.0:h3ulcb'
    saveenv
    
    You can also use
    dhcp
    
    command to obtain information from DHCP server.
    Note: You can always see the environment with printenv command. Refer to U-Boot manual for details.
  9. Verify the connection over Ethernet from U-Boot:
    ping <your-computer-ip>
    
    You should see:
    => ping 192.168.1.2
    ravb:0 is connected to ravb.  Reconnecting to ravb
    ravb Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete.. done
    ravb: 100Base/Full

Loading kernel and rootfs via eMMC/SD card

This section describes steps that are necessary for preparing and booting from SD card.

Preparing eMMC/SD card

In order to prepare you SD card, follow these instructions on host machine:

  1. Partion your SD card to set 1 partition and ID=83 (Linux)
    Make sure the SD card doesn't contain any important files.
    WARNING! These steps may erase the SD card completely. All files my be lost.
    $ fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
    -> d
    -> n
    -> p
    -> 1
    -> t
    -> 83
    
  2. Format this partition to ext3 (or ext4)
    $ mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
    
  3. Mount this partition on your host to any directory and upack the core-image-weston-*.tar.bz2 into mounted folder. And Copy Image and Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb (for ws2.0 silicon) and/or Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb-4x2g.dtb (for RTP0RC77951SKBX010SA03(DDR 8GiB)) and/or Image-r8a7795-es1-h3ulcb.dtb (for ws1.1) from $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/ to sd card /boot. In case of m3ulcb copy dtb from $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/m3ulcb/.
    $ mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
    $ cd <your_yocto_build_directory>
    $ tar xfj  build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/core-image-weston-h3ulcb-*.rootfs.tar.bz2  -C /mnt
    $ cp $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/h3ulcb/XXXX.dtb /mnt/boot/
    
    NOTE: probably you need to be a root user, hence use "sudo"

Configure U-Boot to boot from SD card

  • Proper U-Boot command to boot from SD:
    # setenv bootargs 'rw root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootwait'
    # ext2load mmc 0:1 0x48080000 /boot/Image
    # ext2load mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /boot/Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb
    # booti 0x48080000 - 0x48000000
    
    Note from user:
    When I created my image with mkfs.ext3, and booted with rootfstype=ext3, the kernel could not find mount the filesystem.
    The kernel boot gave an error message:
    "EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p1): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities".
    I switched to 'rootfstype=ext4' in my bootargs, and the kernel booted OK.
  • Example of U-Boot environment variables:
    baudrate=115200
    bootargs_emmc=rw root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait
    bootargs_nfs=rw root=/dev/nfs rootwait ip=dhcp
    bootargs_sd0=rw root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootwait
    bootcmd=run bootcmd_sd0
    bootcmd_emmc=setenv bootargs ${bootargs_emmc};ext2load mmc 1:1 0x48080000 /boot/Image;ext2load mmc 1:1 0x48000000 /boot/${dtb};run booti_cmd
    bootcmd_nfs=setenv bootargs ${bootargs_nfs};bootp 0x48080000 Image;tftp 0x48000000 ${dtb};run booti_cmd
    bootcmd_sd0=setenv bootargs ${bootargs_sd0};ext2load mmc 0:1 0x48080000 /boot/Image;ext2load mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /boot/${dtb};run booti_cmd
