[http://www.pokylinux.org/about Poky] is an open source platform build tool. It is a complete software development environment for = How to get the creation of Linux devices. It enables you to design, develop, build, debug, and test a complete, modern, software stack using Yocto Linux, the X Window System and GNOME Mobile based application frameworks for both x86 and ARM based platforms. Key features include:distribution =
*Full, fast, cross device filesystem creation with '''It's not an embedded Linux Kernel 2.6.x, GCC, GNU C library, Busybox, networking and much more.*Highly configurable and extendable with full documentation, granular feature control, packaging, and wide machine coverage.*Developer friendly with QEMU device virtulisation, SDK generation, Anjuta IDE, OProfile and GDB integration.*Complete GNOME Mobile platform with the X Window System, Matchbox, GTK+ 2.12, D-Bus, GStreamer and distribution – it creates a custom one for you''Sato' reference implementation.*Support for bleeding edge OpenGL user interfaces with the Clutter toolkit.*A supported, stable and proven base for real world products built on Linux and open source software.
== Overview Much of How-To ==This this How-To is meant extracted from different sources. If you would like to be a starting point for people to learn build and run Poky images for IGEP v2 devices as quickly read some of the original articles or resources, please visit them and easily as possible.thank the authors:
This How-To works with the '''Ubuntu 8.04 IGEP v2.0 SDK Virtual Machine''' but most of the contents are valid also for other GNU/Linux distributions. We do not issue any guarantee that this will work on other distributions. This How-To will start out by a '''Poky Platform Setup Environment''' introducing you to the Poky environment and the way you can build an Poky-based image. Next, we will cover the '''Poky images supported'''. Lastly, we will learn how to '''Installing and Using the Result on a NFS-mounted root filesystem'''. == Requirements ==*'''Ubuntu 8.04 IGEP v2.0 SDK Virtual Machine''' == Feedback and Contributing ==At any point, if you see a mistake you can contribute to this How-To. === How to get involved (http://pokylinux.org/support/) === There are many ways to get involved with the Poky The Yocto project. Poky has a friendly community providing informal support and discussion. '''Mailing list''' To subscribe send mail to; poky+subscribe <at> openedhand <dot> com And follow simple instructions in subsequent reply. Archives are available here. '''Bugs''' Problems with Poky should be reported in the bug tracker: http://bugzilla.o-hand.com/ '''IRC''' Chat with the Poky development team and community in #poky on freenode. == References ==Much of this How-To is extracted from different sources.

== Poky Platform Setup Environment == Poky is derivative of the Open Embedded. In order to function properly, the Virtual Machine need some adaptations of the development system. The first thing we need to do is set Bash as default sh shell, execute<pre>$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash</pre>and answer no when asked whether you want to install dash as /bin/sh. So, now, "/bin/sh" file links to "/bin/bash" (not to "/bin/dash"). An other change we need to perform is to change some default settings of the kernel. Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file as root with your preferred editor and set the vm.mmpap_min_addr to 0<pre>$ sudo nano /etc/sysctl.confvm.mmap_min_addr = 0</pre>then, run this command<pre>$ sudo sysctl -p</pre> Install extra packages necessary for bitbake to function.<pre>$ sudo apt-get update$ sudo aptitude install subversion cvs git-core \ build-essential help2man diffstat texi2html texinfo \ libncurses5-dev gawk python-dev python-psyco python-pysqlite2 \ scrollkeeper gnome-doc-utils gettext automake mercurial libx11-dev \ libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libsdl1.2-dev</pre> === Poky version 3.2 codename Purple (stable branch) ===Poky version 3.2 ( stable branch) is available from a GIT repository located at git://git.igep.es/pub/scm/poky.git. The first thing you will do is clone the Poky project. <pre>$ git clone git://git.igep.es/pub/scm/poky.gitInitialized empty Git repository in /home/eballetbo/Software/staging/poky/.git/remote: Counting objects: 52944, done.remote: Compressing objects: 100% (16209/16209), done.remote: Total 52944 (delta 34820), reused 52910 (delta 34806)Receiving objects: 100% (52944/52944), 35.52 MiB | 249 KiB/s, done.Resolving deltas: 100% (34820/34820), done.</pre>Then, switch to stable branch (Purple v3.2)<pre>$ cd poky$ git checkout origin/release/purple -b release/purplewarning: You appear to be on a branch yet to be born.warning: Forcing checkout of origin/release/purple.Branch release/purple set up to track remote branch refs/remotes/origin/release/purple.Switched to a new branch "release/purple"</pre>After that, you need to link an user board configuration (local.conf).

The setup and use of the SDK is also covered along with other common development tasks such as debugging and profiling applications. It also contains extensive reference material on many other aspects Overview of Poky such as the classes, variables and other technical details. A customized Poky version 3.3 for IGEP platforms is available from a GIT repository located at git://git.igep.es/pub/scm/poky.git. The first thing you will do is clone the Poky project. $ git clone git://git.igep.es/pub/scm/poky.git $ cd poky At this point the Poky build environment needs to be set up, you will do this with the poky-init-build-env script.

calibrate Having done that, and assuming you downloaded the BSP contents at the top-level of your touchscreenyocto build tree, you can build a igep image by adding the location of the 'meta-igep' layer to 'bblayers.conf'
for Powertip 4Add below line into .3 inch (480 x RGB x 272) TFT../poky/build/conf/bblayers.conf:
echo -n "8407 -476 -31410144 3 -4861 38051952 655366" > <path to>/etcpoky/pointercalmeta-isee \
for Seiko 7To enable the isee layer, add the 'igep00x0 MACHINE' to .0 inch WVGA (800 x RGB x 480) TFT: echo -n "13714 0 -56041568 1 -8076 63332096 6553665536" > ../poky/build/etcconf/pointercallocal.conf:
or calibrate it yourself until you are happy with the result, for example: MACHINE ?= "igep00x0"
<pre> /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stopYou should then be able to build a image as such:
TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0 TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE=none ts_calibrate $ bitbake demo-image-sato
/etc/initAt the end of a successful build, you should have an image that you could use for boot device from flash or a micro-SD card.d/xserver-nodm start</pre>
