meta-swift examples

This repo provides a simple workspace to compile the meta-swift layer for a sizeable set of supported Yocto machines for the purpose of evalulation and testing.

The following machines are supported and have been tested:

• qemuarm
• qemuarm64
• qemux86-64
• beaglebone-yocto
• raspberrypi-armv7
• raspberrypi-armv8

Others will likely also work, but have not been tested.

Clone

git clone https://github.com/swift-embedded-linux/meta-swift-examples.git --recurse-submodules

Build

It is recommended to build and run the included Docker container for a working environment for building Yocto:

./build-docker.sh
./run-docker.sh

Build the core-image-minimal for the default architecture (qemuarm):

./build.sh

You may also customize the ./build.sh invocation by adding MACHINE= and/or EXTRA_IMAGE_INSTALL=:

MACHINE=beaglebone-yocto EXTRA_IMAGE_INSTALL="openssh" ./build.sh

Builds will be found under poky/build-$MACHINE. Downloads and sstate-cache are shared between builds to keep disk size down as much as possible.

Execution

Execute hello-world for the default qemuarm machine. This is an easy way to confirm that the meta-swift build worked correctly:

./execute.exp

If you built for a different machine, prefix the command with MACHINE= like this:

MACHINE=beaglebone-yocto ./build.sh
