Building an image for Wandboard


After we have the build directory and the BSP layers are properly set up, we can start the build. Inside the build-wandboard directory, we must call the following command:

$: MACHINE=wandboard-<variant> bitbake <image>

The MACHINE variable can be changed depending on the Wandboard we want to use or set in build/conf/local.conf. The machine names for the Wandboard variants are wandboard-solo, wandboard-dual, and wandboard-quad.

If we want to use the Wandboard Solo and build core-image-sato, which provides an embedded graphical environment, we should run the following command:

$: MACHINE=wandboard-solo bitbake core-image-sato 

The build process will take a while. It takes about 2 hours and about 10 Gigabytes in a workstation machine.

If you didn't accept the EULA or want a smaller image to build faster, you can build core-image-minimal instead. For this, use the following command:

$: MACHINE=wandboard-solo bitbake core-image-minimal
