I. Configure yocto/oe environment

In order to build an image with BSP support for a given release, you need to download the corresponding tools described in the "Dependencies" section. Be sure that everything is in the same directory.

$ mkdir yocto; cd yocto
~/yocto $ git clone git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake
~/yocto $ git clone git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
~/yocto $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-rockchip

Then you need to source the configuration script:

~/yocto $ source openembedded-core/oe-init-build-env build bitbake

Having done that, you can build an image for a rockchip board by adding the location of the meta-rockchip layer to bblayers.conf, along with any other layers needed (to access common metadata shared between BSPs)

To enable the build for a specific board, add its name in the MACHINE variable to local.conf:

MACHINE ?= "radxarock"

All supported machines can be found in meta-rockchip/conf/machine.

You should then be able to build a image as such:

~/yocto/build $ bitbake core-image-minimal

At the end of a successful build, you should have an image in

tmp-glibc/deploy/images/<MACHINE>/<IMAGE_NAME>
