Building Soletta with Intel® Edison standard SDK
This page is intended to provide instructions about how to build and run Soletta™ Framework on a Intel® Edison board using the standard SDK.
There are other options to have Soletta running on this board:
- Installing Edison pre-built image
- Using Soletta project's Yocto layer
- Creating an Edison image with Yocto
- Yocto SDK for Edison installed in the host computer. Download here in 'SDK - Cross Compile Tools'
- Make sure that the build requirements are fulfilled
- Know how to send files to your Edison board
- Know how to connect to Edison's linux terminal
Once the SDK is installed, it's time to setup a terminal to point to the right tools and paths needed to cross-compile Soletta.
[host]$ source <SDK_PATH>/environment-setup-core2-32-poky-linux
[host]$ export TARGETCC=$CC
[host]$ export TARGETAR=$AR
[host]$ unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
[host]$ unset PYTHONHOME
Now is necessary to change Soletta framework's options to match Edison restrictions.
To access the configuration menu:
[host]$ make menuconfig
Go to Core library --> Target platform: Ensure that systemd is selected.
Save the changes and exit the configuration menu.
Now a simple make will build Soletta:
[host]$ make
You can use -j option to compile faster. Check make's manual for more info (man make).
Inside Soletta project's directory. First, install soletta in a temporary path:
[host]$ make install DESTDIR=<TMP_PATH>
Pack everything:
[host]$ cd <TMP_PATH>
[host]$ tar cvf soletta.tar *
Copy soletta.tar to Edison root dir and connect to it.
Then:
[root@edison]$ cd /
[root@edison]$ tar xvf soletta.tar
And Soletta should be successfully installed!
To make sure that the installation is ok, copy the sample found in <SOLETTA_SRC_DIR>/src/samples/flow/basics/simple.fbp to Edison
and try to execute:
[root@edison]$ sol-fbp-runner simple.fbp
And check if the output is displayed without errors.
