-= How-to build ELWIX system project =- ========================================= $Id: BUILD.txt,v 1.6 2017/02/13 16:52:46 misho Exp $ ========================================= I. Intro Before starting any work on ELWIX must we prepare environment. What this means :: - We must downloading freebsd sources from CVS/SVN repository and put on separate place from /usr/src. Set in config/rc.elwix variable BSDSRC="..." with place where you get freebsd sources. - We gather from ELWIX CVS repository kodicom_mux project. After this we need to patch our freebsd sources like that "cd ; patch -p0 < " - We must checkout from ELWIX CVS repository core libraries "libait*" , "embedtools", "embedaddons" and GPLv2 "gpl/*" projects - Optional download of 3th party software for ELWIX firmware. Project name is embedaddon from ELWIX CVS II. Build system process 1. Init build structures with clean directory tree ./build_init.sh 2. Cross compile entire userland software ./build_world.sh 3. Cross compile ELWIX kernel ./build_kernel.sh 4. Cross compile ELWIX tools ./build_tools.sh 5. Cross compile optional 3th party software ./build_3thparty.sh --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Now is moment for build BaseFS ELWIX system ./build_base.sh --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Moment comes for build big system binary and inject rootfs image into kernel ./build_rootfs.sh 8. Make romfs image and build big fat second stage firmware image ./build_romfs.sh 9. Now is moment for build RootFS ELWIX system ./build_fs.sh --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, now we did ELWIX version and placed to build/release directory like tar.gz file Example of produced tar balls:: ELWIX_X.X_target_{base|rootfs|rootfsext}_size_arch_date.tar.gz III. Build storage image 1. Build ELWIX system into binary fs image file ./install2img [image_size_in_KB] 2. Build ELWIX system into direct device ./install2dev 3. Build ELWIX system into separate compressed binary images for u-boot embedded devices ./install2uboot IV.
