meta-crownbay: update README

With the new emgd-driver-bin recipe, some of the extensive
instructions on how to manually download and set up EMGD for the build
are no longer necessary.

Changes to reflect the new image names and a couple other minor
cleanups are also included.

The first step of the process is to download the EMGD 1.8 Driver.

http://edc.intel.com/Software/Downloads/EMGD/
In the Download Now tab, select:
Intel® architecture-based product: Linux Tar Ball
Operating System: MeeGo 1.0 IVI Linux (kernel 2.6.33.3, X.server 1.8.0)
Operating System: MeeGo* 1.2 IVI Linux* (kernel 2.6.37, X.server 1.9, Mesa 7.9)
That will give you a large tar file:
That will give you a large .tgz file:
Lin_EMGD_1_6_RC_1922.tar
Lin_EMGD_1_8_RC_2032.tgz
Extract the files in the tar file, which will in turn give you a
directory named IEMGD_HEAD_Linux.
@ -114,138 +109,24 @@ The binaries are contained in an rpm file; you can extract the
binaries from the rpm file using rpm2cpio and cpio:
$ cd IEMGD_HEAD_Linux/MeeGo1.2
$ rpm2cpio emgd-bin-1922-1.6.i586.rpm > emgd-bin-1922-1.6.i586.cpio

$ cpio -idv < ../poky-image-minimal-initramfs-emenlow.cpio
$ cpio -idv < ../emgd-bin-2032-1.6.i586.cpio
Finally, you can copy the xorg-xserver binaries to the
emgd-driver-bin-1.6 directory in the meta-crownbay layer:
emgd-driver-bin-1.8 directory in meta-intel/common:
$ cp -a usr/lib meta-crownbay/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/emgd-driver-bin-1.6
$ cp -a usr/lib meta-intel/common/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/emgd-driver-bin-1.8
You also need to copy the IEMGD License.txt file to the same directory:
$ cp IEMGD_HEAD_Linux/License/License.txt meta-crownbay/recipes/xorg-xserver/emgd-driver-bin-1.6
$ cp IEMGD_HEAD_Linux/License/License.txt meta-intel/common/recipes/xorg-xserver/emgd-driver-bin-1.8
At this point, you should be able to build meta-crownbay images as usual.
IIb Extracting the binaries using the graphical ced application
---------------------------------------------------------------
These steps require that you run a graphical application in Windows.
Windows 7 was used for these instructions, but it shouldn't matter
which version of Windows you use.
The first step of the process is to download the EMGD 1.6 Gold Driver.
Here is the current link to the URL which it can be downloaded from:
http://edc.intel.com/Software/Downloads/EMGD/
In the Download Now tab, select:
Intel® architecture-based product: Intel Atom Processor E6XX Series
Operating System: MeeGo 1.0 IVI Linux (kernel 2.6.33.3, X.server 1.8.0)
That will give you a large zip file:
IEMGD_1_6_GOLD_1922.zip
Extract the files in the zip file, which will in turn give you a large
.exe file:
IEMGD_1_6_GOLD_ALL_1922.exe
Run IEMGD_1_6_GOLD_ALL_1922.exe to install, accept licenses, etc.
If it says to install watcom, follow the instructions to do that.
When the installation completes, an application named "emgd-ced" will
be present in the install directory. Double-click to run it.
Select the menu item: New Configuration
In the tabbed page, make the following selections and/or enter the
specified data:
Configuration File Name: myconfig
Platform Chipset: Intel Atom Processor E6xx
Port Devices: LVDS, sDVO
Hit the 'Next' button.
On the next tabbed page, make the following selections and/or enter
the specified data:
Readable Port Name: portname0
Encoder Configuration: Select sDVO Device: Internal LVDS
Hit the 'Finish' button.
Select the menu item: New Package
In the tabbed page, make the following selections and/or enter the
specified data:
Package File Name: mypackage
Configurations: selec myconfig.cnfg
Target OS: Linux operating System
Hit the 'Finish' button.
Select the menu item: Generate Installation
This will create the EMGD installation package:
Generating EMGD installation...
The installation package should now be under the 'workspace'
subdirectory of the directory you installed to:
workspace/installation/mypackage.pkg_installation/IEMGD_HEAD_Linux/IEMGD_HEAD_Linux.tgz
This is the file you are interested in. Copy it to your Poky build
system, and uncompress/untar it:
$ tar cvfz IEMGD_HEAD_Linux.tgz
The binaries are contained in an rpm file; you can extract the
binaries from the rpm file using rpm2cpio and cpio:
$ cd IEMGD_HEAD_Linux/MeeGo1.2
$ rpm2cpio emgd-bin-1922-1.6.i586.rpm > emgd-bin-1922-1.6.i586.cpio
$ mkdir extracted; cd extracted
$ cpio -idv < ../poky-image-minimal-initramfs-emenlow.cpio
Finally, you can copy the xorg-xserver binaries to the
emgd-driver-bin-1.6 directory in the meta-crownbay layer:
$ cp -a usr/lib meta-crownbay/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/emgd-driver-bin-1.6
You also need to copy the IEMGD License.txt file to the same directory:
$ cp IEMGD_HEAD_Linux/License/License.txt meta-crownbay/recipes/xorg-xserver/emgd-driver-bin-1.6
At this point, you should be able to build meta-crownbay images as usual.
