Vincent Davis Jr 8f88bfa824 rpidistro-vlc: add rpidistro VLC build (with MMAL enabled)
This adds support for building rpidistro version of VLC with hardware
acceleration through MMAL. The version of VLC located in
meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia/recipes-multimedia/vlc uses mainline
VLC and doesn't give all the proper flags. The series of patches attached
to commit gives necessarly vlc mmal flags.

* https://bugs.gentoo.org/723006

The build fails with errors such as "multiple definition of `pf_enable_graphic_buffers'"
when omxil is enabled. The issue seems to be due to compiler flags. Adding -fcommon to
both cflags and cxxflags yields a full compile.

meta-raspberrypi

Yocto BSP layer for the Raspberry Pi boards - http://www.raspberrypi.org/.

Documentation Status Matrix


Yocto Project Layer Compatible

Description

This is the general hardware specific BSP overlay for the RaspberryPi device.

More information can be found at: http://www.raspberrypi.org/ (Official Site)

The core BSP part of meta-raspberrypi should work with different OpenEmbedded/Yocto distributions and layer stacks, such as:

  • Distro-less (only with OE-Core).
  • Yoe Disto (Video and Camera Products).
  • Yocto/Poky (main focus of testing).

Yocto Project Compatible Layer

This layer is officially approved as part of the Yocto Project Compatible Layers Program. You can find details of that on the official Yocto Project website.

Dependencies

This layer depends on:

  • URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
    • branch: master
    • revision: HEAD

Quick Start

  1. source poky/oe-init-build-env rpi-build
  2. Add this layer to bblayers.conf and the dependencies above
  3. Set MACHINE in local.conf to one of the supported boards
  4. bitbake core-image-base
  5. Use bmaptool to copy the generated .wic.bz2 file to the SD card
  6. Boot your RPI

Quick Start with kas

  1. Install kas build tool from PyPi (sudo pip3 install kas)
  2. kas build meta-raspberrypi/kas-poky-rpi.yml
  3. Use bmaptool to copy the generated .wic.bz2 file to the SD card
  4. Boot your RPI

To adjust the build configuration with specific options (I2C, SPI, ...), simply add a section as follows:

local_conf_header:
  rpi-specific: |
    ENABLE_I2C = "1"
    RPI_EXTRA_CONFIG = "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt"

To configure the machine, you have to update the machine variable. And the same for the distro.

For further information, you can read more at https://kas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Contributing

You can send patches using the GitHub pull request process or/and through the Yocto mailing list. Refer to the documentation for more information.
