2 title: Using Ready Made Images
5 AGL provides a number of pre-built ready-made images of various versions.
7 ## x86 (Emulation and Hardware)
9 ### 1. QEMU (Emulation)
11 1. Download the [compressed prebuilt image](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/lamprey/latest/qemux86-64/deploy/images/qemux86-64/agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-qemux86-64.ext4.xz).
13 2. Download the [compressed kernel image](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/lamprey/latest/qemux86-64/deploy/images/qemux86-64/bzImage).
15 3. Install [QEMU](https://www.qemu.org/download/) :
18 $ apt-get install qemu
21 4. Install [vinagre](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Vinagre) :
24 $ sudo apt install vinagre
27 5. Create boot directory and copy compressed images (prebuilt & kernel) into them :
31 $ cp ~/Downloads/agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-qemux86-64.ext4.xz ~/agl-demo/
32 $ cp ~/Downloads/bzImage ~/agl-demo/
37 6. Extract prebuilt compressed image :
40 $ xz -v -d agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-qemux86-64.ext4.xz
43 7. Launch QEMU with vinagre (for scaling), remove `- snapshot \` if you want to save changes to the image files :
46 $ ( sleep 5 && vinagre --vnc-scale localhost ) > /tmp/vinagre.log 2>&1 &
47 qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mac=52:54:00:12:35:02 -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
48 -drive file=agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-qemux86-64.ext4,if=virtio,format=raw -show-cursor -usb -usbdevice tablet -device virtio-rng-pci \
49 -snapshot -vga virtio \
50 -vnc :0 -soundhw hda -machine q35 -cpu kvm64 -cpu qemu64,+ssse3,+sse4.1,+sse4.2,+popcnt -enable-kvm \

64 - Shutdown QEMU : `$ poweroff`, otherwise QEMU will run in the background.
65 - To use vnc-viewer instead of vinagre :
67 $ ( sleep 5 && vncviewer ) &
68 qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mac=52:54:00:12:35:02 -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \

73 -append 'root=/dev/vda rw console=tty0 mem=2048M ip=dhcp oprofile.timer=1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 verbose fstab=no'
76 ### 2. Virtual Box (Emulation)
78 **NOTE :** Please note [https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19873](https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19873) as this affects the VMs resolution.
79 The AGL demo images do require 1920x1080. The instructions below have been adapted.
81 1. Download the [compressed vbox disk image](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/lamprey/latest/qemux86-64/deploy/images/qemux86-64/agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-qemux86-64.wic.vmdk.xz).
83 2. Install and set up [Virtual Box](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads).
85 3. Extract the vmdk file : `$ xz -v -d agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-qemux86-64.wic.vmdk.xz`
87 4. Configure virtual box for AGL :
88 - Click on `New` or `Add`.
89 - Enter Name as `agl-demo`.
91 - Version as `Other Linux (64-bit)`, click on `Next`.
92 ![vbox-step-1](images/vbox-1.png)
93 - Select Memory size. Recommended is `2048 MB`, click on `Next`.
94 ![vbox-step-2](images/vbox-2.png)
95 - Click on `Use an existing virtual hard disk file`, and select the extracted `agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-qemux86-64.wic.vmdk` file, click on `Create`.
96 ![vbox-step-3](images/vbox-3.png)
97 - Go to `Settings`, and into `System`. Select `Chipset : IHC9`. Check on `Enable EFI (special OSes only)` and click on `OK`.
98 ![vbox-step-4](images/vbox-4.png)
99 - Go to `Storage`, and change the attribute to `Type : AHCI` and click on `OK`.
100 ![vbox-step-5](images/vbox-5.png)
101 - Next go to `Display` and change the attribute to 'VMSVGA' for the graphics driver. Change the graphics memory to be at least 64MB.
102 - **Important:**: Open a new terminal window and execute this command:
104 VBoxManage setextradata agl-demo VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution 1920x1080
106 - Return to the UI and click on `Start`.
107 - For troubleshooting, you can refer [here](https://lists.automotivelinux.org/g/agl-dev-community/message/8474).

200 ### 2. BeagleBone Enhanced (BBE)
202 1. Download the [compressed prebuilt image](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/lamprey/latest/bbe/deploy/images/bbe/agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-bbe.wic.xz).
204 2. Extract the image into the SD card of BeagleBone Enhanced :
208 $ sudo umount <sdcard_device_name>
209 $ xzcat agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-bbe.wic.xz | sudo dd of=<sdcard_device_name> bs=4M
213 **IMPORTANT NOTE:** Before re-writing any device on your Build Host, you need to
214 be sure you are actually writing to the removable MicroSD card and not some other
216 Each computer is different and removable devices can change from time to time.
217 Consequently, you should repeat the previous operation with the MicroSD card to
218 confirm the device name every time you write to the card.
220 To summarize this example so far, we have the following:
221 The first SATA drive is `/dev/sda` and `/dev/sdc` corresponds to the MicroSD card, and is also marked as a removable device.You can see this in the output of the `lsblk` command where "1" appears in the "RM" column for that device.

296 ### 2. Raspberry Pi 4
298 1. Download the [compressed prebuilt image](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/lamprey/latest/raspberrypi4/deploy/images/raspberrypi4-64/agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-raspberrypi4-64.wic.xz).
300 2. Extract the image into the SD card of Raspberry Pi 4 :
304 $ sudo umount <sdcard_device_name>
305 $ xzcat agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-raspberrypi4-64.wic.xz | sudo dd of=<sdcard_device_name> bs=4M
309 **IMPORTANT NOTE:** Before re-writing any device on your Build Host, you need to
310 be sure you are actually writing to the removable MicroSD card and not some other
312 Each computer is different and removable devices can change from time to time.
313 Consequently, you should repeat the previous operation with the MicroSD card to
314 confirm the device name every time you write to the card.
316 To summarize this example so far, we have the following:
317 The first SATA drive is `/dev/sda` and `/dev/sdc` corresponds to the MicroSD card, and is also marked as a removable device.You can see this in the output of the `lsblk` command where "1" appears in the "RM" column for that device.
319 3. SSH into Raspberry Pi :
320 - Connect Raspberry Pi to network : `Homescreen > Settings`, IP address mentioned here.
321 - `ssh root@<Raspberry-Pi-ip-address>`
324 4. Serial Debugging :
326 When things go wrong, you can take steps to debug your Raspberry Pi.
327 For debugging, you need a 3.3 Volt USB Serial cable to fascilitate
328 communication between your Raspberry Pi board and your build host.
330 You can reference the following diagram for information on the following steps:
332 ![](images/RaspberryPi2-ModelB-debug-serial-cable.png)
334 1. Connect the TTL cable to the Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter
335 (UART) connection on your Raspberry Pi board.
336 Do not connect the USB side of the cable to your build host at this time.
338 **CAUTION:** No warranty is provided using the following procedure.
339 Pay particular attention to the collors of your cable as they could
340 vary depending on the vendor.
342 2. Connect the cable's BLUE wire to pin 6 (i.e. Ground) of the UART.
344 3. Connect the able's GREEN RX line to pin 8 (i.e. the TXD line) of
347 4. Connect the cable's RED TX line to pin 10 (i.e. the RXD line) of
350 5. Plug the USB connector of the cable into your build host's USB port.
352 6. Use your favorite tool for serial communication between your build host
353 and your Raspberry Pi.
354 For example, if your build host is a native Linux machine (e.g. Ubuntu)
355 you could use `screen` as follows from a terminal on the build host:
358 $ sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
361 ### 3. R-Car H3SK (H3ULCB board)
363 **NOTE :** The prebuilt image does support graphics only in **non-accelerated** mode (software rendering). For **accelerated** graphics support, a local build with the neccesary graphics driver is required.
366 1. Update the [firmware](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK#Flashing_firmware) using files from [here](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/lamprey/latest/h3ulcb-nogfx/deploy/images/h3ulcb/).
368 2. Download the [compressed prebuilt image](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/lamprey/latest/h3ulcb-nogfx/deploy/images/h3ulcb/agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-h3ulcb.wic.xz).
370 3. Extract the image into the boot device :
374 $ sudo umount <boot_device_name>
375 $ xzcat agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-h3ulcb.wic.xz | sudo dd of=<boot_device_name> bs=4M
379 3. [Serial](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK) into the board for debugging.
380 For example, if your build host is a native Linux machine (e.g. Ubuntu)
381 you could use `screen` as follows from a terminal on the build host:
384 $ sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
