Re: [yocto] building for ZYNQ ZC702 SoC
Hi Anup,
Atleast two people on the yocto mailing list have successfully
built the toolchain and rootfile system for the ZC702, Philip Balister and
myself, using the latest yocto master.
Here are a few steps:
01. Look up the Yocto Quick Start Guide to setup your Ubuntu 12.10 x86 64-bit
host development environment.
02. Use Philip Balister's meta-zynq layer located here, and add it to your
bblayer.conf file
https://github.com/balister/meta-zynq
$ gedit conf/bblayers.conf
# LAYER_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
# changes incompatibly
LCONF_VERSION = 5
BBPATH = ${TOPDIR}
BBFILES ?=
BBLAYERS ?= \
/tool/yocto/poky/meta \
/tool/yocto/poky/meta-yocto \
/tool/yocto/meta-openembedded/toolchain-layer \
/tool/yocto/meta-zynq \
03. Updated your yocto local.conf file as follows:
#
# Xilinx target board configuration.
#
# Set the target machine details
MACHINE ?= zynq-zc702
# Set Xilinx Platform Studio hardware project path
XILINX_BSP_PATH ?= /project/xilinx-zc702
# Set target board
XILINX_BOARD ?= zc702
04. Download the souces
$ cd /tool/yocto/poky
$ source oe-init-build-env build
### Shell environment set up for builds. ###
You can now run 'bitbake target'
Common targets are:
core-image-minimal
core-image-sato
meta-toolchain
meta-toolchain-sdk
adt-installer
meta-ide-support
You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86'
$ bitbake -c fetchall core-image-minimal
Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION= 1.16.0
TARGET_ARCH = arm
TARGET_OS = linux-gnueabi
MACHINE = zynq-zc702
DISTRO= poky
DISTRO_VERSION= 1.3+snapshot-20121025
TUNE_FEATURES = armv7a vfp neon cortexa9
TARGET_FPU= vfp-neon

NOTE: Executing SetScene Tasks
NOTE: Executing RunQueue Tasks
05. Build the toolchain
$ cd /tool/yocto/poky
$ source oe-init-build-env build
$ bitbake meta-toolchain
06. Build the image
$ bitbake core-image-minimal
07. Use Xilinx PlanAhead 14.3 software design too to create your hardware
design.
The only additional step you need to perform is to use the Xilinx PlanAhead
software, to export you hardware to the Xilinx SDK, and use the SDK to generate
and build the Zynq First Stage Bootloader (zynq_fsbl). After that, create a
boot image by using the Xilinx tool menu option, and include the u-boot.elf,
system.bit and zynq_fsbl.elf.
Use the scripts in XAPP792 to download the kernel and bootable image to the
target using XMD. Or rename the u-boot.bin file to BOOT.bin, copy the uImage
generated from the yocto build, and it should all work.
Best regards,
Elvis Dowson

Re: [yocto] building for ZYNQ ZC702 SoC
Hi Elvis,
I could not find where the arm gcc was included in this build.
I was checking the build process and took the gcc.4.4.6 while building the
core-image-minimal.
Hence i wanted to confirm if the arm-gcc can be integrated and steps to do
it.

Two things to keep in mind here: a. Yocto will generate a cross compiler for you. It will be called arm-poky-linux-gcc , and will be located in the poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin folder This won't appear in your path, unless you explicitly specify it. You can use this to build u-boot, the linux kernel and the root filesystem for the ZC702. b. The cross compiler generated from yocto has some issues building the Xilinx SDK sources, for compiling the bsp and fsbl sources. Hence, you can use the default xilinx supplied compiler, which is already setup with Xilinx SDK, to build the bsp and fsbl binaries. You only need the Xilinx supplied gcc toolchain for these tasks, as well as for bare-metal applications using StandAlone OS or XilKernel. For the rest, yocto gives you an easy way to build a fully working image for the ZC702.
