Legacy build system
Overview⚓︎
To build, see the old mx4 repo.
Build environment⚓︎
Before building, we recommend having - approximately 30 GB of free disk space, - an SSD (it will make the build process go faster), - at least 4 GB of RAM, - at least 4 CPU cores (2 cores is a minimum).
Set up docker⚓︎
Install Docker: [Docker Install]
Create Dockerfile: touch Dockerfile
Copy this template into the Dockerfile and edit it:
FROM debian
# Edit Your Name and ”your@mail.com”
MAINTAINER <b>Your Name</b> "<b>your@mail.com</b>"
# Edit your username
ARG user=<b>your username</b>
# Edit your group, mostly the same as username
ARG group=<b>your group</b>
# Edit your user id. Command to see user id, id -u $username
ARG uid=<b>your user id</b>
# Edit your group id. Command to see group id, id -g $username
ARG gid=<b>your group id</b>
# We need to change to root to be able to install with apt-get
USER root

ENV USER_HOME /home/${user}
RUN groupadd -g ${gid} ${group} \
&& useradd -d "$USER_HOME" -u ${uid} -g ${gid} -m -s /bin/bash ${user}
# Edit username to your username
RUN adduser <b>username</b> sudo
# Edit username to your username
RUN echo "<b>username</b> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
# Switch to user
USER ${user}
WORKDIR ${USER_HOME}
# Creates project folder. Returns no error if folder already exists
RUN mkdir -p <b>project</b>
# Edit "your@mail.com"
RUN git config --global user.email "<b>your@mail.com</b>"
# Edit "Your Name"
RUN git config --global user.name "<b>Your Name</b>"
RUN git config --global push.default simple
Build Docker image⚓︎
Build the docker image using the Dockerfile and name it hostmobility/mx4
Run Docker image⚓︎
# Edit user id 1000 with your user id.
# Edit username with your username (both in ssh- and project path).
# Edit path to the project /home/username/project if needed.
# The project folder is the link between your environment and the Docker environment.
# Everything you put in the project folder from the Docker will be accessible outside the Docker.
# To make --privileged to work, it assumes that you have a SSH key associated with your github account.
# If SSH key is not set up correctly, you will be asked for username and password during the git clone process.
sudo docker run -it -u <b>1000</b> --privileged -v ~/.ssh:/home/<b>username</b>/.ssh -v ~/project:/home/<b>username</b>/<b>project</b> hostmobility/mx4
Example of how to set up an environment for MX-4 CT, branch BSP-v1.5.x⚓︎
Git clone from repository⚓︎
# If SSH key is associated correctly with your GitHub account, run the following commands:
git clone git@github.com:hostmobility/mx4 -b mx4-bsp-v1.5.x
git clone git@github.com:hostmobility/mx4-pic -b mx4-bsp-v1.5.x mx4/pic
# If not correctly associated, run follow commands:
git clone https://github.com/hostmobility/mx4/ -b mx4-bsp-v1.5.x
git clone https://github.com/hostmobility/mx4-pic -b mx4-bsp-v1.5.x mx4/pic
Build CT-BSP-v1.5.x⚓︎
cd mx4/t20
# Remember to edit username to your own username and project if you
# named your project folder to something else.
# edit $(nproc) to number of cores you want to use while building.
./make_system.sh -t ct -r /home/<b>username</b>/<b>project</b>/rootfs/CT -d /home/<b>username</b>/<b>project</b>/yocto-1.5.x -g -k -u -j <b>$(nproc)</b> -m -T 512
Building other platforms⚓︎
Please consult mx4#source-structure for the required repositories and branch names.

./make_system.sh -t t30 -r UNIQUE_ROOTFS_PATH -d YOCTO_1.4.x_TEMP_PATH -g -k -u -j $(nproc)
Example to setup environment for MX-4 V61⚓︎
# All products use mx4 and mx4-pic repository
git clone git@github.com:hostmobility/mx4 -b mx4-2.0
git clone git@github.com:hostmobility/mx4-pic -b mx4-2.0 mx4/pic
# Below are only required for products that have Linux and U-boot
# outside of the mx4 repository
git clone git@github.com:hostmobility/linux-toradex.git -b hm_vf_4.4 mx4/t20/linux_vf
git clone git@github.com:hostmobility/u-boot-toradex.git -b 2015.04-hm mx4/t20/u-boot_vf
Example of how to build Board Support Package (BSP) for MX-4 V61⚓︎
cd mx4/t20
# edit $(nproc) to number of cores you want to use while building.
[work in progress]
./make_system.sh -t v61 -r /home/username/project/rootfs/v61 -d /home/username/project/ -u -k -j $(nproc) -g
See the List of supported distros.
The following packages need to be installed (the example below is for Ubuntu 14.10).
