SolidRun's i.MX8MP based HummingBoard Pulse build scripts

Introduction

Main intention of this repository is to a buildroot based build environment for i.MX8MP based product evaluation.

The build script provides ready to use images that can be deployed on micro SD and future on eMMC.

Build with Docker

A docker image providing a consistent build environment can be used as below:

1. build container image (first time only)

   docker build -t imx8mp_build docker
   # optional with an apt proxy, e.g. apt-cacher-ng
   # docker build --build-arg APTPROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3142 -t imx8mp_build docker
   

2. invoke build script in working directory

   docker run -i -t -v "$PWD":/work imx8mp_build -u $(id -u) -g $(id -g)
   

rootless Podman

Due to the way podman performs user-id mapping, the root user inside the container (uid=0, gid=0) will be mapped to the user running podman (e.g. 1000:100). Therefore in order for the build directory to be owned by current user, -u 0 -g 0 have to be passed to docker run.

Build with host tools

Simply running ./runme.sh, it will check for required tools, clone and build images and place results in images/ directory.

Deploying

For SD card bootable images, plug in a micro SD into your machine and run the following, where sdX is the location of the SD card got probed into your machine -

sudo dd if=images/microsd-<hash>.img of=/dev/sdX

And then set the HummingBoard Pulse DIP switch to boot from SD
