Here you will find support for the ARIES Emedded System on Modules (SoMs) and Evaluation Kits (EVKs) for Buildroot. We use an external buildroot tree to maintain the ARIES Embedded specific parts.
The following EVKs are supported:
You can build an embedded Linux distribution with Buildroot as shown
below. The example is for the MCVEVP. For other EVKs just substitue the
board name mcvevk with the name of your EVK, ma5d4evk or msmp1evk.
$ cd <work-dir>
$ export WORK_DIR=`pwd`
We need to clone the ARIES Embedded external buildroot tree and the official buildroot repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/ARIES-Embedded/buildroot-aries.git
$ git clone --branch 2023.02.x git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot.git
If the maintenance branch 2023.02.x is not yet available, please use:
$ git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot.git
$ cd buildroot
$ git checkout -b aries-2023.02 2023.02
For the MSMP1EVK, you also need to apply some temporary patches for theARM Trusted Firmware and U-Boot boot loader:
$ cd $WORK_DIR/buildroot
$ git am $WORK_DIR/buildroot-aries/board/msmp1evk/buildroot-patches/*.patch
Then create a build directory for the default configuration:
$ cd $WORK_DIR/buildroot
$ make BR2_EXTERNAL=$WORK_DIR/buildroot-aries \
O=$WORK_DIR/mcvevk mcvevk_defconfig
And finally make the BSP for the MCVEVP:
$ cd $WORK_DIR/mcvevk
$ make
If you need an SDK for application development type:
$ make sdk
The SDK is relocatable. You need to run the "relocate-sdk.sh" script once after copying the SDK to the new location:
$ cp -r $WORK_DIR/mcvevk/host /opt/sdk-mcvevk
$ /opt/sdk-mcvevk/relocate-sdk.sh
