Quick Start

Install basic environment for yocto.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade -y

sudo apt install -y bmap-tools zstd liblz4-tool gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat libsdl1.2-dev xterm python
sudo apt install -y curl

Install the repo command by Google first.

mkdir -p ~/bin
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH

Create workspace

mkdir yocto-infotainment && cd yocto-infotainment
repo init -u https://github.com/SEA-ME-COSS/meta-infotainment -b kirkstone -m tools/ivi-yocto.xml
repo sync
repo start work --all

Setup Build Environment

cd poky
. ./meta-infotainment/setup.sh

Build Images

This headunit works fully on Raspberry Pi 4 with full hardware setup.

bitbake infotainment-rpi-image

Download Image

1. Find where SD card is

   sudo fdisk -l
   
   

2. Write image to SD card

   You should write rpi-sdimg.

   cd tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi4-64
   sudo dd if=infotainment-rpi-image-raspberrypi4-64-[timewhenyoubuild].rootfs.rpi-sdimg of=/dev/sda
   sync
