Yocto Reference Manual

phyLinux

5.3 Initialization

Create a fresh project folder, e.g.: mkdir ~/yocto  and run phyLinux from the new folder:

./phyLinux init 

A clean folder is important, because phyLinux will clean its working directory. So all files will be removed after the clean up.

Calling phyLinux not from an empty directory will result in the following warning:

This current directory is not empty. It could lead to errors in the BSP configuration process if you continue from here. At least you have to check your build directory for settings in bblayers.conf and local.conf, which will not be handled correctly in all cases. It is advisable to start from an empty directory of call:

$ ./phyLinux clean

Do you really want to continue from here? [yes/no]:

On the first initialization, the phyLinux script will ask you to install the Repo tool in your

/usr/local/bin directory. During the execution of the init command, you need to choose

your processor platform, Phytec's BSP release number and the hardware you are working on, e.g.:

***************************************************

* Please choose one of the available Machines:

*

* 1 : beagleboneblack-1 : Hardware Revision A5C 2GiB eMMC

* 2 : phyboard-maia-am335x-1 : PB-00702-002

* 3 : phyboard-wega-am335x-1 : PB-00802-0200C PB-00802-0101C (PEB-AV-01)

* 4 : phyboard-wega-am335x-2 : PB-00802-008 PB-00802-010 (PEB-AV-02)

* 5 : phycore-am335x-1 : PCM-051-12102F0C.A1/KPCM-953 (Kit)

* 6 : phycore-am335x-2 : 1GiB RAM, 1GiB NAND variant

* 7 : phyflex-am335x-1 : PFL-A-03-12113F8I.A1/PBA-B-01

If you cannot identify your board with the information given in the selector, have a look at the invoice of the product.

After the configuration is done, you can always run

./phyLinux info  to see which BSP and Machine is selected in the current workspace.
