Instructions for specifying the branch/tag of ofs-platform-afu-bbb when using OFS build scripts

[badanur]

Target Designs

This discussion applies to the following OFS designs:

• ofs-agx7-pcie-attach
• ofs-f2000x-pl
• ofs-d5005

Background

As of OFS 2023.3, the build scripts clone the "master" branch of the ofs-platform-afu-bbb repository by default. The following instructions explain how to specify a different branch/tag of ofs-platform-afu-bbb to be used during FIM compilation. This is useful if you are using an older version of OFS, and you would like to use the branch/tag associated with a specific OFS release.

Instructions

Scenario 1: You have a newly cloned FIM repository, and the build script has not yet been run

1. Set OFS_PLATFORM_AFU_BBB_REPO_BRANCH environment variable to the branch/tag you would like to use.
   • e.g. export OFS_PLATFORM_AFU_BBB_REPO_BRANCH="ofs-2023.3-1-rc2"
2. Run the build script

Scenario 2: The build script has already been run without setting OFS_PLATFORM_AFU_BBB_REPO_BRANCH

1. Navigate to ofs-platform-afu-bbb directory
   • e.g. cd $OFS_ROOTDIR/external/ofs-platform-afu-bbb
2. Checkout the desired branch/tag
   • e.g. git checkout ofs-2023.3-1-rc2
