Hi,
I want to build my local kernel/Driver code, not the default one. 
please help how can i do it ?.
any wiki/docs on this?.

The BSP developer guides show how to extend the yocto kernels, and
also have sections on custom/different kernel versions. Have you
seen that doc yet ? Or have you seen it, and have specific questions ?

Re: Porting of specific Kernel/Driver into yocto.

[Om Prakash PAL]

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for your reply.
I am totally new to Yocto.
I have gone through the section BSP/Linux kernel configuration and if I am not wrong then it explains how can we configure the kernel, not the how we can add/replace a  component(driver etc). 
lets take the example of UART driver, I want to add my own UART driver code.
Should I write a separate recipe file (.bb) for UART Driver?.
if yes then I have to write the recipe files for all my drivers that will be very time consuming. 
Is there any other way that I can port all my desired drivers into Yocto kernel?.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot in advance. 

Best Regards,
Om Prakash Pal

No recipes are required per-driver, unless you are building them all
as out of tree modules.

The typical way this is done is to simply work in the extracted linux
src tree (build/tmp/work/<your board>/linux-yocto-<hashes>/linux), manually
patch, or copy your drivers into the tree. At this point, you'll port
the drivers, doing test builds (bitbake -f -c compile linux-yocto) to
ensure that your port is working. When you've completed the build phase,
boot tests would be in order. (Do not do a 'clean' or you'll lose in
progress changes).

When you are happy with the changes, the directory where you were working
is with the kernel git repository. So you can simply commit your 
changes, and generate patches.

    git format-patch -o <your directory> HEAD^ (or however many commits
you have)

Take those patches, create a layer with a bbappend and add them like
any other patch to any package. They'll be applied to subsequent builds
of the kernel.

I'm skipping a lot of detail there, but it is all found in the various
manuals, and I don't want to repeat it here.

Bruce

Re: Porting of specific Kernel/Driver into yocto.

[Om Prakash PAL]

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for you help.
As you have mentioned, its working properly.
I want to know that is there any better way of doing same thing for my scenario ?:
here is my scenario:
We have development branch where we write/modify our kernel/driver code i.e. thats our local kernel repository(git rep)
and lots of driver/files being modified everyday-->so I have to take the same effect into yocto kernel also----> so except  creating patches for all modified drivers and creating .bbappend files, is there any better way of doing same thing .  

Is there anyway that  instead of using yocto-kernel tree,  can we use our local kernel-tree for building images?. (should  I create separate BSP ?)

Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Om Prakash Pal

Aha. Missed that.

Just create a simple recipe that points at your git repository in the SRC_URI.
If all the changes are in the tree, and you have a defconfig and you
are building
the master branch. Then pretty much everything you need can be specified in
the SRC_URI .. and that's the entire recipe.

If you look in oe-classic, meta-ti or any one of a number of other
layers, you'll
find recipes that do just that.

The meta-kernel-dev (in the poky extras) layer has an example of using the
kernel.org tree with the yocto kern tools, and once yocto 1.3 opens up for
submissions, I have a set of changes prep'd that make it relatively simple to
use the yocto kern tools against different types of repository.

So the summary is: Depending on the type of tooling you need, and what baseline
you need for your work .. there are a number of ways to do things.

You should definitely create a BSP, that way you can tune the system specific
to your board,

You should definitely create a BSP, that way you can tune the system specific
to your board,
	we want to create BSP for our board that is based on arm-cortex-A9 but we don't have meta/conf/machine/include/tune-armcortexa9.inc file.
	How can we create it?.

What branch are you working from ? The yocto master branch
has such a tune file. You can check out that branch and attempt
to cherry pick the support if you dont't have it:

i.e.: meta/conf/machine/include/tune-cortexa9.inc

Re: Porting of specific Kernel/Driver into yocto.

[Om Prakash PAL]

Hi Bruce,
	I need some more info

[1].I want to add kernel dir path into SRC_URI(in meta-<bsp_name>/recipe-kernel/linux/linux_3.0.bb), how can we add it ? i.e. lets imagine that my kernel is located in dir /local/kernel/*
How we can add this kernel into SRC_URI?.(imagine that we don't have git:// and http: path, we have just dir where my kernel is located)

[2] we want to create BSP for our board that is based on arm-cortex-A9 but we don't have meta/conf/machine/include/tune-armcortexa9.inc file in current yocto.
How can we create it?.

Thanks,

Best Regards,
Om Prakash Pal

Aha. Missed that.

Just create a simple recipe that points at your git repository in the SRC_URI.
If all the changes are in the tree, and you have a defconfig and you
are building
the master branch. Then pretty much everything you need can be specified in
the SRC_URI .. and that's the entire recipe.

If you look in oe-classic, meta-ti or any one of a number of other
layers, you'll
find recipes that do just that.

The meta-kernel-dev (in the poky extras) layer has an example of using the
kernel.org tree with the yocto kern tools, and once yocto 1.3 opens up for
submissions, I have a set of changes prep'd that make it relatively simple to
use the yocto kern tools against different types of repository.

So the summary is: Depending on the type of tooling you need, and what baseline
you need for your work .. there are a number of ways to do things.

You should definitely create a BSP, that way you can tune the system specific
to your board,

I do it this way in meta-kernel-dev:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-extras/plain/meta-kernel-dev/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto-dev.bbappend

In particular the protocol=file should be noticed.

Re: Porting of specific Kernel/Driver into yocto.

[Om Prakash PAL]

Hi Bruce,
for porting of our local kernel,we have created an BSP layer and to change the the kernel,  we have created an linux-yocto_3.0.bbappend file inside meta<BSP>/recipes-kernel/linux/
like this:-

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_<BSP_name> = "BSP_name"

# KMACHINE is the branch to build
KMACHINE_<BSP_name> = "local_branch"

SRCREV_machine_pn_linux-yocto_<BSP_name> ?= "XXXXXXXX" (here we have assign top commit ID of our local kernel)


# KSRC_linux_yocto to point to your local clone as appropriate.
KSRC_linux_yocto ?= "/path/to/local/kernel"

SRC_URI = "git://${KSRC_linux_yocto};protocol=file;nocheckout=1;branch=${KBRANCH};name=machine \
                file://defconfig"


KERNEL_REVISION_CHECKING=""
SRCREV="${AUTOREV}"
#BB_LOCALCOUNT_OVERRIDE = "1"
LOCALCOUNT = "0"


while building we are getting following Error:

NOTE: Executing RunQueue Tasks
NOTE: Running task 1341 of 1710 (ID: 513, /home/apallan/yocto/poky-edison-6.0/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.0.bb, do_validate_branches)

please tell me what we have done wrong?.
is there anything else we need to modify in .bbappend file or some other variable?.

Om Prakash Pal

Which release are you using again ?

The diagnostics out of validate branches are about to get better in master,
but they are coupled with some other tools changes that couldn't go
into yocto 1.2.

Is there anything extra in the log file, or just what you saw on the
build log ?

Validate branches fails like this when you've provided a bad branch or
SRCREV (vs a SRCREV that is simply not the tip of the branch .. it fixes
that scenario) and the fetcher or another git command aborts.

You've output some example text from the bbappend, but what were the real
values in your situation ? i.e. what are KMACHINE/KBRANCH set to ?

There are some flags you can set to exit the branch validation early, but
I don't think setting them is the right course of action yet, since the
error you are seeing is likely hiding some other mis configuration.

Cheers,

Bruce

Hi Bruce,
for porting of our local kernel,we have created an BSP layer and to change the the kernel,  we have created an linux-yocto_3.0.bbappend file inside meta<BSP>/recipes-kernel/linux/
like this:-

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_<BSP_name> = "BSP_name"

# KMACHINE is the branch to build
KMACHINE_<BSP_name> = "local_branch"

SRCREV_machine_pn_linux-yocto_<BSP_name> ?= "XXXXXXXX" (here we have assign top commit ID of our local kernel)


# KSRC_linux_yocto to point to your local clone as appropriate.
KSRC_linux_yocto ?= "/path/to/local/kernel"

SRC_URI = "git://${KSRC_linux_yocto};protocol=file;nocheckout=1;branch=${KBRANCH};name=machine \
                file://defconfig"


KERNEL_REVISION_CHECKING=""
SRCREV="${AUTOREV}"
#BB_LOCALCOUNT_OVERRIDE = "1"
LOCALCOUNT = "0"


while building we are getting following Error:

NOTE: Executing RunQueue Tasks

Aha. Missed that.

Just create a simple recipe that points at your git repository in the SRC_URI.
If all the changes are in the tree, and you have a defconfig and you
are building
the master branch. Then pretty much everything you need can be specified in
the SRC_URI .. and that's the entire recipe.

If you look in oe-classic, meta-ti or any one of a number of other
layers, you'll
find recipes that do just that.

The meta-kernel-dev (in the poky extras) layer has an example of using the
kernel.org tree with the yocto kern tools, and once yocto 1.3 opens up for
submissions, I have a set of changes prep'd that make it relatively simple to
use the yocto kern tools against different types of repository.

So the summary is: Depending on the type of tooling you need, and what baseline
you need for your work .. there are a number of ways to do things.

You should definitely create a BSP, that way you can tune the system specific
to your board,

This is what I was saying a few weeks ago. If you aren't using
the linux-yocto kernel repository (and hence linux-yocto branches/meta 
data) as your base, then building directly via the linux-yocto recipe
probably isn't what you want. It is a recipe that leverages the tools
and infrastructure on top of the linux-yocto repository.

That same infrastructure can build other repositories, but needs some
extra variables set. The meta-kernel-dev layer, in poky-extras has
examples of this for building korg (or any repo) with the tools.

What you re being told in this particular error is that you don't have
a meta branch in the tree, or not one that the tools can recognize.
You can prevent this by setting YOCTO_KERNEL_META_DATA="" in your
recipe (see the korg recipe as an example). (and FYI: this will no
longer be required in 1.3, but it is for any previous release).

It needs to be a valid branch in the repository. The 1.2 recipes
set it to be KMACHINE if it hasn't been explicitly set. But it
sounds like you are past this, and have set your branch to something
that actually exists in the tree.

Re: Porting of specific Kernel/Driver into yocto.

[Om Prakash PAL]

Hi Bruce,
Thanks a lot for your help.
Now I am able to build the local kernel.
I have one doublt:
when I do  
bitbake -c mencuconfig virtual/kernel

then from which location it will take the config file?.
and if I want to buiild my own specific defconfig file then How can do it?.

Best Regards,
Om Prakash Pal

This is what I was saying a few weeks ago. If you aren't using
the linux-yocto kernel repository (and hence linux-yocto branches/meta
data) as your base, then building directly via the linux-yocto recipe
probably isn't what you want. It is a recipe that leverages the tools
and infrastructure on top of the linux-yocto repository.

That same infrastructure can build other repositories, but needs some
extra variables set. The meta-kernel-dev layer, in poky-extras has
examples of this for building korg (or any repo) with the tools.

What you re being told in this particular error is that you don't have
a meta branch in the tree, or not one that the tools can recognize.
You can prevent this by setting YOCTO_KERNEL_META_DATA="" in your
recipe (see the korg recipe as an example). (and FYI: this will no
longer be required in 1.3, but it is for any previous release.

It needs to be a valid branch in the repository. The 1.2 recipes
set it to be KMACHINE if it hasn't been explicitly set. But it
sounds like you are past this, and have set your branch to something
that actually exists in the tree.

It will use the .config in the build directory ${B}, which if you
are using a linux-yocto recipe would be your 
linux-$MACHINE-$KERNELTYPE-build
directory.

The dependencies of menuconfig will ensure that the kernel has been fetched,
unpacked and configured before it runs. Which means a defconfig will
have already been used (if specified) to construct the .config.

Any changes you make will be saved in the .config, and you'll need to
preserve that for future builds.

Cheers,

Bruce

Re: Porting of specific Kernel/Driver into yocto.

[Om Prakash PAL]

Hi Bruce,
I am getting some problem in do_install:

NOTE: Running task 1535 of 1710 (ID: 517, /home/apallan/yocto/poky-edison-6.0/meta-u8500/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-u8500.bb, do_install)
NOTE: package linux-u8500-3.2+git1+0a81a5eaa7a5c1216cbd087bec5ec7cd8a448383-r10: task do_install: Started

and I waited for ~15hr to complete task do_install: but not completed and i am not getting any Errors/warnings.
Is there any problem?.
I have checked that my vmlinux/uImage/zImage has been created successfully but rootfs has not been created till now.

here is my .bb file that is building my local_kernel.

inherit kernel
require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc

KMACHINE = "dev"
YOCTO_KERNEL_EXTERNAL_BRANCH ?= "dev"

KBRANCH = "${KMACHINE}"
KMETA = "meta"

KSRC_linux_yocto ?= "/home/apallan/yocto/kernel/"

SRC_URI = "git://${KSRC_linux_yocto};protocol=file;nocheckout=1"
SRC_URI +="file://defconfig"

SRCREV="${AUTOREV}"
SRCREV_pn-linux-u8500 ="0a81a5eaa7a5c1216cbd087bec5ec7cd8a448383"

LINUX_VERSION ?= "3.2"
LINUX_VERSION_EXTENSION = "-yoctized-${LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE}"
PR = "r10"
PV = "${LINUX_VERSION}+git${SRCPV}"

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "(u8500|qemuarm)"

# Functionality flags
KERNEL_REVISION_CHECKING=""
YOCTO_KERNEL_META_DATA=""

require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-tools.inc

what should be the problem?.

Best Regards,
Om Prakash Pal

Great!

It will use the .config in the build directory ${B}, which if you
are using a linux-yocto recipe would be your
linux-$MACHINE-$KERNELTYPE-build
directory.

The dependencies of menuconfig will ensure that the kernel has been fetched,
unpacked and configured before it runs. Which means a defconfig will
have already been used (if specified) to construct the .config.

Any changes you make will be saved in the .config, and you'll need to
preserve that for future builds.

Cheers,

Bruce

Anything using linux-yocto has exactly the same packaging semantics as
other kernels, since they all inherit kernel.bbclass.

Maybe your description sounds familiar to others, and others that might
have better ideas about what's happening in the packaging backend ?

You don't have any special partitions configured ? You are building
on a local filesystem ? Is rpm or ipkg being used ? .. these are all
things that could impact performance (but not really 15 hours worth of
issues).

Are there any hints in the host system logs, or in the kernels do_install
log ?

=========================================================
and after that it got stuck, I am not getting console.

I am building rootfs/uImage with default toolchain used in yocto.
Is it problem of toolchain?.
Should I build with our toolchain( we use CodeSourcery)?.

Best Regards,
Om Prakash Pal

Anything using linux-yocto has exactly the same packaging semantics as
other kernels, since they all inherit kernel.bbclass.

Maybe your description sounds familiar to others, and others that might
have better ideas about what's happening in the packaging backend ?

You don't have any special partitions configured ? You are building
on a local filesystem ? Is rpm or ipkg being used ? .. these are all
things that could impact performance (but not really 15 hours worth of
issues).

Are there any hints in the host system logs, or in the kernels do_install
log ?

How long do you let it sit?

Nothing above suggests a toolchain problem. You have an error running
the postinst scripts from the various rpm packages. Some instrumentation
in those scripts (and the parent script) would help narrow down where it
is failing.

Does this error repeat if you reboot?
Yes, every time.

How long do you let it sit?

after some time(around 10mins) got this msg;
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

and then console got  stuck.

Nothing above suggests a toolchain problem. You have an error running
the postinst scripts from the various rpm packages. Some instrumentation
in those scripts (and the parent script) would help narrow down where it
is failing.

What image is being used?  I've seen this with core-image-minimal, but it
goes away when the image is more complex, e.g. core-image-sato.  I believe
the init script is always present even if there are no postinst scripts to run.

What do you have SERIAL_CONSOLE set to in your configuration?

What is your target device?  Do you really have /dev/ttyAMA2 serial port??

Can you try using say poky/master and generate root file system and
try that out ?
another option is to try core-image-core

Actaully I solved this by modifying:
meta/recipes-support/shared-mime-info/shared-mime-info.inc :
                      -inherit autotools pkgconfig gettext
                     +inherit autotools pkgconfig gettext perlnative

I have set SERIAL_CONSOLE="115200 ttyAMA2"  then why its taking /dev/tty0 ?.
please help.

I've lost some of the context on the board you are working with, but
from ttyAMA2, I'm assuming it is an arm board. Have you verified that your
bootloader can pass the kernel bootline properly to the kernel ? It is
(unfortunately) fairly common that it isn't properly passed. If you
modify your configuration to have a built in command line with your
configuration, you may be able to get better setup to debug the
problem.

Cheers,

Bruce

Note: if you (Om Prakash PAL) could send the entire boot log, we could make more
sense of your issues.  For example, the actual name(s) of serial devices supported
by the kernel will be listed there.

Also, I seem to recall that you had 'console=tty0' in your bootargs.

Send the complete log...

Hi Gary,
Please find the attached log.
In bootargs, you can check it 'console=ttyAMA2'

Hi Bruce,
Yes,its arm board.
Yes, I have verified and kernel bootline is properly passed to the kernel by bootloader.

I've lost some of the context on the board you are working with, but
from ttyAMA2, I'm assuming it is an arm board. Have you verified that your
bootloader can pass the kernel bootline properly to the kernel ? It is
(unfortunately) fairly common that it isn't properly passed. If you
modify your configuration to have a built in command line with your
configuration, you may be able to get better setup to debug the
problem.

Cheers,

Bruce

And does it (the bootline) contain /dev/tty0 ? .. because if things are
properly configured, it really shouldn't be trying to open it.

Hi Bruce,
You can check the attached log.

It does not contain /dev/tty0..its /dev/ttyAMA2.
I am not able to get why is it opening /dev/tty0?.

[Om Prakash PAL]

Hi Chris,
No, /etc/initab does not contain any reference to tty0(wrong typed in last mail).

What about /etc/inittab? Does this contain any references to tty0?

I'm just back from vacation. Is this still an ongoing investigation ? As
Darren mentioned, nothing in that error log indicates a toolchain problem.
You'd typically end up with silent boot death, or far more catastrophic
errors if the toolchain was really at fault here.

It does sound like startup script issues, but without knowing the exact
makeup of your rootfs, it's hard to say more.

Even when the board is stuck, is the networking stack up and responding ?
i.e. can you ping, or even ssh into the box ?

===>I am just using makeup of "Yocto default rootfs" I am not using my own makeup of rootfs.

No, Nothing,
we can not do anyhting. it just got stuck.
any help/idea will be appreciable.
