Introduction

OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project layer for Qualcomm based platforms.

This layer depends on:

URI: https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core.git
layers: meta
branch: master
revision: HEAD

This layers has an optional dependency on meta-oe layer:

URI: https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git
layers: meta-oe
branch: master
revision: HEAD

The dependency is optional, and not strictly required. When meta-oe is enabled in the build (e.g. it is used in BBLAYERS) then additional recipes from meta-qcom are added to the metadata. You can refer to meta-qcom/conf/layer.conf for the implementation details.

Device support

All contemporary boards are supported by a single qcom-armv8a machine. Please use it instead of using the per-board configuration file. In order to enable support for the particular device extend the qcom-armv8a.conf file .

Quick build

If you're new to the Yocto Project, you might want to read the Yocto Project Quick Build document in order to setup your Yocto Project build environment.

From inside poky folder, clone this repository:

git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-qcom

Now, from inside poky folder initialize your build folder:

source oe-init-build-env build/qcom-armv8a

The script will cd into the newly created build/qcom-armv8a folder. From within this folder, add meta-qcom layer:

bitbake-layers add-layer ../../meta-qcom

Change MACHINE variable into conf/local.conf to:

MACHINE ?= "qcom-armv8a"

Finally, build your image:

bitbake core-image-minimal
