Tango recipes for OpenEmbedded Bitbake

Hi Wahid

sorry for the late response …

did you read the paper :
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HOfuCSrw6B209dEPM7wvXpxm8jWtyQ9mt2t3AShQnJI

everything is here I hope…

Hi!

Do you maybe have some tips on how to use the recipes for open-embedded/yocto? I'm trying it since a week and it is still not working with the recipes. Is there a typo in the filename: omniorb4_4.1.7.bb instead of omniorb_4.1.7.bb ?
yes, you are right it is omniorb4_4.1.7, shared on google drive here :
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzpTFvp3zlvkVE1LYTJ1RW5WNzg


1)you need a linux host with 150 GB free, high speed internet access

2)install bitbake via git
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html

3)get some extra recipes
https://github.com/Xilinx/meta-xilinx

I have on my host : (these are recipes, not all are used for our purpose)
meta
meta-oe
meta-selftest
meta-skeleton
meta-xilinx
meta-yocto
meta-yocto-bsp

4) add tango recipes and hack zmq/omniorb as explained in the paper
my custom recipes are in meta-skeleton/recipes-core/
For now, I have those recipes : (redpitaya is a DeviceServer recipe for the redpitaya)
ds omniORB4 redpitaya tango zeromq


I tested the VM and hoped your openembedded project was integrated and i could use it from your VM.
I am working on a project where a controlsystem needs to be integrated on embedded devices like the zedboard (we're planing to develop a customized board with the Zynq Chip, but for now the Zedboard is more then we need for developing). The idea is, that we build a tailored os on the arm core running which is ready to use by plug'n'play in the control system, an automated subscription to the TangoHost / ServerIntegration is planed.

sorry but Openembedded downloads lots of files, cross compile everything, it generates a huge vdi disk (>100GB)
can't put it online.

there is a learning curve, but it is worth it !
keep me informed of your progress.

Where are you ? Is it for edu. or real hardware ?

Hi Raphael,

At first I want to thank you for your advices and I'm sorry if I disturb you with my annoying questions.

I have some problems with the recipes.

- Did you write them yourself or is there a repository given? I'm asking because I was looking for the additional files the recipe for omniorb4-4.1.7.bb needs, but the only version I could find in the web is omniorb 4.1.4 and 4.2. I was looking for the patches which i have to include in the files directory.

- What do you mean with "hack zeromq/omniorb as explained in the paper"?

- When I use bitbake, can I still use the command: bitbake core-image-minimal ?

- Like you said I copied the recipes into the ../meta-skeleton/recipes-core/ directory.

Let me show you my directory-tree:

The problem is that I can start bitbake till it gives me errors, because it can't fetch the needed patches etc. for omniorb.

Maybe you'll find some time to help me with this problem.

I really appreciate your help.

About me: I'm studying microelectronics / electrical engineering, working as a research student at DESY in Hamburg/Germany and doing this for my master thesis.
Best regards

1)your directory tree looks correct… your are not far from goal !
and you are right, I didn't find recipes for 4.1.7 ; I used 4.1.4 and modified it

I have checked my disk :

in directory omniORB4/files, I have these patches :
arm_double.patch omniORB.cfg rm_LongDouble.patch
dynskel.patch omniORB-cross.patch
omniorb_4.1.7.patch omniORB_embedded_appl.patch


so you need some ARM patches (I don't remember for now where I found them…)


2)
FYI, omniorb compiling is a 2 steps procedure (bootstrapping)
omniorb-arm (zynq target) needs omniorb-x86 (linux host)


caution
there is a little issue in this recipes
during do_install () you need to manualy copy ./tmp/work/x86_64-linux/omniorb-native/4.1.7-r0/build/bin/omniidl to ./tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/omniidl


my omniorb4_4.4.1.7.bb

Edited 8 years ago
actually, you need this extra recipe, for the 1st stage compilation (linux omniidl tool)
omniorb-native_4.1.7.bb

in addition to omniorb4_4.1.7
(put it in the same dir, edit local.conf)
