1). 简介
嵌入式设备采用Embedded Linux操作系统进行开发已经越来越成为主流,但是如何将开发完成的Linux uboot/kernel配置,以及应用程序整合到Embedded Linux镜像中以便在量产的时候更方便的更新到嵌入式设备中可能是很多嵌入式开发者面临的挑战之一,而本文就以在Embedded Linux中使用比较广泛的Yocto project 为例,基于Openembedded开发框架定制嵌入式 Linux镜像。
本文所演示的平台来自于Toradex Colibri iMX8x嵌入式平台,这个平台是基于近年发布的NXP iMX8x系列ARM处理器,核心为Cortex-A35。同时Toradex也提供了基于Ycoto project/Poky 编译发布的嵌入式Ycoto Linux Demo镜像,这样就无需完全从头开始配置自己的layer,只需要修改添加需要的部分即可。
2. 准备
a). Colibri iMX8x ARM核心版配合Colibri Eva Board 载板,并连接7inch Display,用于测试编译好的Ycoto Linux image。
b). 配置Ycoto Project/Openembedded开发环境,请参考这里说明,本文测试使用目前最新的分支dunfell-5.x.y。
c). 参考这里说明下载Toradex Ycoto Linux BSP 5.x.y版本Kernel和Uboot源代码,用于产生相应的patch文件。
c). 本文演示的定制Ycoto Linux镜像主要添加修改以下内容,下面会按照这个内容逐一说明:
./ 修改Uboot默认环境变量,适配Splash开机启动画面,关于Splash启动画面的详细修改说明可以参考这里说明;修改后续要默认启动加载的定制化device tree命名 imx8qxp-colibri-customer-v1.dtb
./ 修改Linux Kernel,增加并使能定制化Splash开机启动画面图片;同时修改Linux device tree文件,使能Colibri iMX8x自带的两路FlexCAN驱动并关闭默认打开的载板SPI CAN驱动,并保存为定制化device tree文件imx8qxp-colibri-customer-v1.dtb;最后配置默认启动适配7inch Display的Device Tree Overlay文件
./ 将演示Qt应用程序集成到Image,并配置为开机自动启动
3). 创建定制Ycoto Linux 相关配置Layer
a). 在配置下载好的OpenEmbedded环境Layer目录下,由于Toradex默认已经包含meta-toradex-demos layer用于Toradex Ycoto Linux Demo Image编译,我们这里直接基于这个layer创建用于定制化的Layer – meta-customer-demos.
--------------------------------
### create customer layer meat-customer-demos ###
$ cd cd .../oe-core/layer
$ cp -r meta-toradex-demos/ meta-customer-demos
--------------------------------
b). 修改meta-customer-demos目录下的 conf/layer.conf文件,适配新的layer命名,同时include machine配置文件
--------------------------------

+LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_customer-demos = "zeus dunfell"
--------------------------------
c). 在meta-customer-demos/conf 目录下创建 machine/colibri-imx8x-extra.conf文件,为设备增加新的定制化设备树文件
--------------------------------
$ mkdir -p .../oe-core/layers/meta-customer-demos/conf/machine
$ vi .../oe-core/layers/meta-customer-demos/conf/machine/colibri-imx8x-extra.conf
KERNEL_DEVICETREE_append = " \
freescale/imx8qxp-colibri-customer-v1.dtb \
"
--------------------------------
4). OpenEmbedded下Uboot修改示例
a). 为了后续配置Splash开机画面正常显示,需要修改 U-boot 环境变量去除显示输出的 console 打印输出。
b). 首先进入下载的Uboot源代码对 include/configs/colibri_imx6.h 文件进行修改,产生相应的patch文件
0001-uboot-env-update.patch
--------------------------------
diff --git a/include/configs/colibri-imx8x.h b/include/configs/colibri-imx8x.h

/* Link Definitions */
--------------------------------
c). 在 meta-customer-demos layer目录下创建 recipes-bsp/u-boot/files目录,并对Colibri iMX8x默认使用的 u-boot-toradex_2020.04.bb 文件进行append,集成上面生成的patch
--------------------------------
### prepare patch file ###
$ mkdir -p recipes-bsp/u-boot/files
$ cd .../recipes-bsp/u-boot/
$ cp .../0001-uboot-env-update.patch files/
### crteate bbappend file ###
$ vi u-boot-toradex_2020.04.bbappend
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI_append = " \
file://0001-uboot-env-update.patch \
"
--------------------------------
d). 另外这里也提示下,U-boot环境变量的修改也可以通过修改Ycoto编译生成的Image压缩包文件里面的 ” u-boot-initial-env-sd ” 文件来更改,这样通过Toradex Easy Installer更新到模块后就是修改后的变量配置了,对于某些场景可能更方便一些,不一定需要上述在Ycoto编译环境通过修改源码的方式进行修改。
5). OpenEmbedded下Linux kernel 和 device tree 修改示例
a). 参考上述 ”准备“ 章节提到的Splash启动画面文章生成Logo文件 “logo_custom_clut224.ppm ” 和menuconfig修改后的Kernel 配置文件 ”.config”,并重命名为 ”defconfig”
--------------------------------
→ Device Drivers → Graphics support → Bootup logo
<*> Custom 224-color Linux logo
--------------------------------
b). 创建定制化Device Tree文件 ”imx8x-colibri-customer-v1.dtsi” 和 “imx8qxp-colibri-customer-v1.dts” ,用于关闭Colibri iMX8x默认使能的Colibri Eva Board的板载MCP2515 CAN控制器,同时使能Imx8x芯片自带的两路FlexCAN接口。
./ “imx8x-colibri-customer-v1.dtsi” 相对于默认的 “imx8x-colibri-eval-v3.dtsi” 文件改动如下

./ 创建完成后,通过 ”git add” 命令添加两个新文件,然后通过 “git diff” 命令可以生成用于Ycoto编译集成的patch文件,命名为 ”0001-imx8qxp-colibri-customer-v1.patch”
c). 在 meta-customer-demos layer目录下创建 recipes-kernel/linux目录,并对 linux-toradex_5.4-2.3.x.bb 文件进行append,同时创建files目录,存入defconfig、0001-imx8qxp-colibri-customer-v1.patch和 logo_custom_clut224.ppm三个文件以适配Splash图片和Device Tree的修改
--------------------------------

fi
}
--------------------------------
d). 这里提示下在OpenEmbedded环境下,也可以通过下面命令在编译系统中直接修改Kernel 配置,不过由于不如上述patch方式维护方便,只应临时测试使用,不建议实际部署编译时候用这样的方式修改。
--------------------------------
$ bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel
--------------------------------
6). OpenEmbedded下Linux rootfs 文件系统中配置文件修改示例
a). 在 meta-customer-demos/recipes-kernel/linux目录下创建device-tree-overlays_git.bbappend文件,以完成Splash开机画面文章中章节7中对于显示分辨率的适配
--------------------------------
$ cd meta-customer-demos/recipes-kernel/linux/
$ vi device-tree-overlays_git.bbappend
TEZI_EXTERNAL_KERNEL_DEVICETREE_BOOT = " \
colibri-imx8x_parallel-rgb_overlay.dtbo \
display-lt161010_overlay.dtbo \
"
--------------------------------
b). 在 meta-customer-demos layer目录下创建 recipes-graphics/wayland 目录,并对 weston-init.bb 文件进行append,同时创建files目录,存入如下Patch文件以完成Splash开机画面文章中章节9.a中对Weston桌面显示的修改配置
--------------------------------
### create bbappend file ###
$ cd meta-customer-demos
$ mkdir -p recipes-graphics/wayland/
$ cd recipes-graphics/wayland/

7). OpenEmbedded下部署Qt应用示例
a). 本文所使用的Qt 应用demo说明请参考下面文章:
http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_d733e5170102wyay.html
b). Ycoto Linux Multimedia Demo Image在Colibri iMX8x模块上面默认启动的是Qt Cinema示例应用
./ Qt Cinema 示例应用bb文件,包括编译应用源码以及安装启动脚本
--------------------------------
.../oe-core/layers/meta-qt5/recipes-qt/examples/cinematicexperience_1.0.bb
--------------------------------
./ wayland app launch bb文件,通过设定wayland-app-launch systemd服务启动项目,来达到开机自动启动的目的
--------------------------------
.../oe-core/layers/meta-toradex-demos/recipes-graphics/wayland-app-launch/wayland-qtdemo-launch-cinematicexperience_1.0.bb
--------------------------------
c). 基于上面示例,我们同样方法配置Qt HelloworldUI 示例demo的编译、安装和自动启动
./ 在 meta-customer-demos layer目录下创建 qt5-layer/recipes-qt/qtdemo目录,并创建如下 helloworldUI_0.1.bb 文件用于从Qt 应用的git地址下载应用并编译部署
--------------------------------
$ mkdir -p .../oe-core/layers/meta-customer-demos/qt5-layer/recipes-qt/qtdemo

--------------------------------
./ 创建对应的wayland app launch bb文件
--------------------------------

--------------------------------
8). OpenEmbedded下设置自定义image镜像编译
a). 在 meta-customer-demos/recipes-images/images/ 目录下创建定制化Ycoto Linux Image BB文件,基于Toradex默认的Multimeida Demo Image。如果需要修改Image里面包含的组件也可以直接在这个文件里面修改。
--------------------------------
### create bbfile ###
$ cd .../oe-core/layers/meta-customer-demos/recipes-images/images
$ cp tdx-reference-multimedia-image.bb customer-multimedia-image.bb

b). 至此,meta-customer-demos layer 的所有修改都已经完成,下面我们进入 OpenEmbedded编译环境下 build/conf 目录, 对下面两个文件进行修改:

f). 在 build目录下执行下面命令进行编译,编译成功后, 可以在 deploy/images/colibri-imx8x 目录下找到编译好的 image 压缩包。
--------------------------------
$ bitbake customer-mutimedia-image

9). 在Colibri imx6模块上面更新image并测试
a). 将上述生成好的image压缩文件 Colibri-iMX8X_Customer-Multimedia-Image-Tezi_5.6.0-devel-20220623030838+build.0.tar 按照这里的说明更新到 Colibri iMX8x 模块上面去。
c). image 更新好后,我们可以逐项去测试上面每一个配置

10). 总结
本文只是简单演示了利用 Ycoto/OpenEmbedded 可以非常方便的生成定制化 Embedded Linux,另外配合git,还可以很好的实现不同版本的管理。但是 OpenEmbedded 架构本身也是比较复杂的,要想灵活使用还需要对其做一些深入的学习才能得心应手,更多文档可以参考如下OpenEmbedded官方网站。
