Meta-Phucscare Layer for Rock 5B+

A clean, minimal Yocto Project layer specifically designed for Radxa Rock 5B+ (RK3588 SoC) development.

Overview

This layer provides a streamlined development environment for the Rock 5B+ board, focusing on essential functionality while maintaining a clean, extensible structure for incremental feature development.

Current Capabilities

• Rock 5B+ machine configuration
• Base image (core-image-rock5b)
• GUI image (core-image-rock5b-gui)
• Essential development tools
• Custom applications (hello, calculator, libmath)
• NetworkManager integration
• Rockchip kernel support

Available Images

core-image-rock5b

Minimal base image with essential development tools:

• Kernel modules and development tools
• Python3 and numpy
• I2C and GPIO tools
• NetworkManager
• Development tools (gdb, strace, htop, vim)

core-image-rock5b-gui

GUI-capable image based on core-image-rock5b:

• Weston display server
• Qt5 framework
• Additional GUI tools
• All base image features

Building

# Source the environment
cd $HOME/YoctoProjects
source poky/oe-init-build-env build-rockchip

# Build base image
bitbake core-image-rock5b

# Build GUI image
bitbake core-image-rock5b-gui

Development Roadmap

See /home/strongfood/YoctoProjects/roadmap.md for detailed development phases and feature additions.

Dependencies

• meta-rockchip (Rock 5B+ BSP)
• meta-openembedded
• meta-arm
• poky (core)

Notes

• All Radxa accessories will be integrated as separate features
• Focus on Rock 5B+ native capabilities
• Clean, documented code structure
• Incremental feature development approach
