Meta Soletta

Bruno Bottazzini edited this page Jun 13, 2016 · 17 revisions

The meta-soletta project is a meta-layer for Yocto that contains the needed recipes to cross-compile Soletta™ Framework and generate images for a target board.

The meta-soletta is being supported by Ostro OS, an open source Yocto-based operating system for IoT devices, and it is the recommended method of using the meta-layer.

The generated images are snapshots of the operating system ready to be booted. Being Ostro-based they contain all the needed software for an easier IoT development.

In this page we include two ways of generating system images: one covers how to build them with Ostro (highly recommended) and the other one covers how to build them with pure Yocto.

Generating the images with Ostro OS

Ostro supports the following boards:

  • Intel Edison
  • MinnowBoard MAX
  • Intel Galileo Gen2
  • BeagleBone Black
  • GigaByte GB-BXBT-3825

To generate the image follow this Ostro documentation: [Ostro Project - Building Images] (https://ostroproject.org/documentation/howtos/building-images.html)

Installing the images

To install the generated image follow this tutorial from Ostro: [Ostro Project - Booting and Installation] (https://ostroproject.org/documentation/howtos/booting-and-installation.html)

Generating the images with Yocto

Only use this option if you are an advanced user of Yocto and you're sure of what you're looking for. Otherwise the Ostro method is highly recommended.

With pure Yocto we support the following boards:

  • Intel Edison
  • MinnowBoard MAX

To generate image with Yocto for MinnowBoard MAX: Building for MinnowBoard MAX
