petalinux-v2018.2-docker

Install and Run petalinux-v2018.2 by docker

Prerequisites

1. Clone the git to your <start_dir>

$git clone https://github.com/alexhegit/petalinux-v2018.2-docker
$cd <start_dir>/petalinux-v2018.2-docker
$mkdir petalinux-v2018.2
$mkdir petalinux-v2018.2_bsps

The file tree looks like

2. Download petalinux v2018.2 install file(petalinux-v2018.2-final-installer.run) from https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools.html to <start_dir>/petalinux-182-docker-ubuntu/petalinux-v2018.2/

3. Download petalinux BSP v2018.2 file(e.g. xilinx-zcu102-v2018.2-final.bsp) from https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools.html to <start_dir>/petalinux-182-docker-ubuntu/petalinux-v2018.2_bsps/

Build the container base on the Dockerfile

1. change to DIR
2. build the container from Dockerfile

NOTE You may need modify the proxy settings in Dockerfile according to your enviroment.

e.g.
$sudo docker build ./ --network=host --build-arg version=2018.2 --build-arg date_created=1110 -t petalinux-182-ubuntu:test
build_docker.sh is a example for you.

Start the container

e.g.
$sudo docker run --name petalinux-2018.2 --user=plnx_user  --entrypoint=/bin/bash -it -v /home/ahe/PLNX_WS/:/home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS petalinux-182-ubuntu:test

The example mount the /home/ahe/PLNX_WS/ from HOST to /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/

Create a project in container

Then you can use petalinux-v2018.2 to build a petalinux project. Please refer to UG1144 and UG1157 from www.xilinx.com for using petalinux.

Enalbe local sstate-cache

As you know, petalinux is base on Yocto. You can speed up the building process by using sstate-cache. Petalinux use online sstae-cache as default setting. To avoid the unstable network connection, you download the sstate-cache from https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools.html and put the DIR mounted by the container. As this example, unzip the sstate_cache.tar.gz and put it into /home/ahe/PLNX_WS/ at host side and you can get it bellow /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/

The dir tree looks like bellow.

/home/ahe/PLNX_WS/sstate-rel-v2018.2/
├── aarch64
├── arm
├── downloads
├── file
├── filelist.txt
├── mb-full
├── mb-lite
├── output_arm_univ_tgz.txt
├── output_mbfull_univ_tgz.txt
└── output_mblite_univ_tgz.txt

• The aarch64 is for Zynq MPSoC and arm is for Zynq SoC.
• The download is the source code package

Set local sstate_cache

run petalinux-config to get the settings through petalinux-config-->Yocto-Settings-->Local sstate feeds settings and enter the full path of the sstate directory. As this example for zcu102(Zynq MPSoC), the sstate directory should be /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/sstate-rel-v2018.2/aarch64/ If your porject is for Zynq, it should be /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/sstate-rel-v2018.2/arm/.

Set local source mirrors

petalinux-config -> Yocto-Settings -> Add pre-mirror url --> Enter with file://
e.g. here is /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/sstate-rel-v2018.2/downloads/

Disable Network sstate feeds (optional)

Deselect petalinux-config-->Yocto-Settings-->Enable Network sstate feeds

Force do fetching from local (optional)

Select petalinux-config-->Yocto-Settings--> Enable BB NO NETWORK

Then you can build the project with local sstate_cache and source mirrors. More details of these settings are in UG1144.
