Yocto meta-solidrun-arm-hailo repository

This repository hosts a Yocto Project meta-layer for building linux image for SolidRun Hailo 15 SOM. Follow the steps below to set up your environment and build images.

Prebuilt images

Prebuilt images are available here.

Prerequisites

Ensure Python and pip are installed on your system to use kas.

Install Steps

1. Install kas

kas helps manage Yocto Project layers and build configurations. Install it using pip:

pip install kas

2. Clone the Repository

mkdir solidrun-hailo15 && cd solidrun-hailo15
git clone https://github.com/SolidRun/meta-solidrun-arm-hailo

3. Checkout Dependencies with kas

kas checkout meta-solidrun-arm-hailo/kas/hailo15-solidrun.yaml

kas will checkout all the layer dependencies and generate conf/bblayers.conf and conf/local.conf files for the yocto build. You can modify those files to add another layer or change build parameters.

Build Steps

1. Initialize the BitBake Environment

Every time you open the project you first need to initialize a bitbake environment. This command will use existed build parameters and cache.

source poky/oe-init-build-env

2. Build the image

bitbake core-image-minimal

Build the update package

bitbake hailo-update-image

By default core-image-minimal is used as an update target. To change it, update the local.conf: HAILO_TARGET = "core-image-custom"

Build in the docker

It is recommended to use docker image in order to have consistent build environment.

1. Create a docker container:

docker build -t build_hailo15 --file meta-solidrun-arm-hailo/conf/docker/Dockerfile .

2. Run the container:

docker run -it -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" -v ${PWD}:/work --workdir=/work build_hailo15

3. Run the build as described in the Build Steps

Output Artifacts

Output artifacts are located in the
build/tmp/deploy/images/hailo15-solidrun

Using the Package Manager

The demo image includes the opkg package manager. It is intended for installing lightweight tools and dependencies during development and evaluation.

Note: Using the package manager in production is not recommended.
The package mirror is not maintained for production use, and installing large or critical packages may break the system.

Note: In order to use the package manager, the system time must be set correctly to verify TLS certificates.

Package Repository

Packages can be browsed and installed from the following repository:
