+The information on this page describes setup and build procedures for both of these
Renesas development kits.
## 1. Downloading Proprietary Drivers
Before setting up the build environment, you need to download proprietary drivers from the
-[R-Car H3/M3 Software library and Technical document](https://www.renesas.com/us/en/solutions/automotive/rcar-download/rcar-demoboard-2.html)
+[R-Car H3/M3 Software library and Technical document](https://www.renesas.com/us/en/application/automotive/r-car-h3-m3-documents-software)
site.
Follow these steps to download the drivers you need:
1. **Determine the Files You Need:**
- Run the `setup_mm_packages.sh` script as follows to
+ Run the ``setup_mm_packages.sh`` script as follows to
display the list of ZIP files containing the drivers you need.
+ Following is an example:
```sh
- $ grep -rn ZIP_.= $AGL_TOP/meta-agl/meta-agl-bsp/meta-rcar-gen3/scripts/setup_mm_packages.sh
+ grep -rn ZIP_.= $AGL_TOP/meta-agl/meta-agl-bsp/meta-rcar-gen3/scripts/setup_mm_packages.sh
```
The script's output identifies the files you need to download from the page.
2. **Get Your Board Support Package (BSP) Version:**
- Be sure to have the correct BSP version of the R-Car Starter Kit based on the version of the AGL software you are using. Find the appropriate download links on the [R-Car H3/M3 Software library and Technical document](https://www.renesas.com/us/en/solutions/automotive/rcar-download/rcar-demoboard-2.html)

+If you are building an image for a supported Renesas board,
+you need to take steps to make sure your build host is set up correctly.
- Depending on your Renesas board, define and export a `MACHINE` variable as follows:
+1. **Define Your Board:**
+ Depending on your Renesas board, define and export a `MACHINE` variable as follows:
- | BOARD | `MACHINE` |
+ | Board | `MACHINE` Setting |
|:-:|:-:|
- | Renesas RCar H3 | `MACHINE`= h3ulcb |
- | Renesas RCar H3 w Kingfisher Board | `MACHINE`= h3ulcb-kf |
- | Renesas RCar H3 w/o gfx blobs | `MACHINE`= h3ulcb-nogfx |
- | Renesas RCar Salvator/H3 | `MACHINE`= h3-salvator-x |

```
- 2. **Run the `aglsetup.sh` Script:**
+2. **Run the `aglsetup.sh` Script:**
Use the following commands to run the AGL Setup script:
```sh
$ cd $AGL_TOP
- $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m $MACHINE -b build-$MACHINE agl-devel agl-demo
- which expands to :
- $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m h3ulcb -b build-h3ulcb agl-devel agl-demo
+ $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m $MACHINE -b build agl-devel agl-demo
```
- 3. **Examine the Script's Log:**
+ **NOTE:**
+ Running the `aglsetup.sh` script automatically places you in the
+ working directory (i.e. `$AGL_TOP/build`).
+ You can change this default behavior by adding the "-f" option to the
+ script's command line.
+
+ In the previous command, the "-m" option sets your machine to the previously
+ defined `MACHINE` variable.
+ The "-b" option defines your Build Directory, which is the
+ default `$AGL_TOP/build`.
+ Finally, the AGL features are provided to support building the AGL Demo image
+ for the Renesas board.
+
+ You can learn more about the AGL Features in the
+ "[Initializing Your Build Environment](./3_Initializing_Your_Build_Environment.md)"
+ section.
+
+3. **Examine the Script's Log:**
Running the `aglsetup.sh` script creates the `setup.log` file, which is in
- the `build-h3ulcb/conf` folder.
+ the `build/conf` folder.
You can examine this log to see the results of the script.
For example, suppose the graphics drivers were missing or could not be extracted
when you ran the script.
+ In case of missing graphics drivers, you could notice an error message
+ similar to the following:
+ ```text

-## 4. Using BitBake
-
- Start the build using the `bitbake` command.
-
- **NOTE:** An initial build can take many hours depending on your
- CPU and and Internet connection speeds.
- The build also takes approximately 100G-bytes of free disk space.
-
- For this example, the target is "agl-demo-platform":
-
- ``` sh
- $ time bitbake agl-demo-platform
- ```
-
- The build process puts the resulting image in the Build Directory:
- ``` sh
- build-h3ulcb/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
- ```
-
-## 5. Booting the Image Using a MicroSD Card
-
- To boot your image on the Renesas board, you need to do three things:
-
- 1. Update all firmware on the board.
- 2. Prepare the MicroSD card to you can boot from it.
- 3. Boot the board.
-
- **NOTE:** For subsequent builds, you only have to re-write the MicroSD
- card with a new image.
-
- * **Updating the Board's Firmware**
+ If you encounter this issue, or any other unwanted behavior, you can fix the error
+ mentioned, remove the `$AGL_TOP/build` directory, and then re-launch the
+ `aglsetup.sh` again.
- Follow these steps to update the firmware:
+ Here is another example that indicates the driver files could not be extracted from the downloads directory:
+ ```
+ ~/workspace_agl/build/conf $ cat setup.log
+ --- beginning of setup script
+ --- fragment /home/working/workspace_agl/meta-agl/templates/base/01_setup_EULAfunc.sh

+ The graphics and multimedia acceleration packages for
+ the R-Car Gen3 board BSP can be downloaded from:
+ <https://www.renesas.com/us/en/application/automotive/r-car-h3-m3-documents-software>
+
+ These 2 files from there should be stored in your
+ '/home/working/Downloads' directory.

+ ```
- 1. **Update the Sample Loader and MiniMonitor:**
+## 5. Checking Your Configuration
- You only need to make these updates one time per device.
+Aside from environment variables and parameters you establish through
+running the `aglsetup.sh` script, you can ensure your build's configuration
+is just how you want it by examining the `local.conf` configuration file.
- Follow the procedure found on the
- eLinux.org wiki to update to at least version 3.02,
- which is mandatory to run the AGL image ([R-car loader update](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/Kingfisher#How_to_update_of_Sample_Loader_and_MiniMonitor)).
+You can find this configuration file in the Build Directory (e.g.
+`$TOP_DIR/build/conf/local.conf`).
- 2. **Update the Firmware Stack:**
+In general, the defaults along with the configuration fragments the
+`aglsetup.sh` script applies in the `local.conf` file are good enough.
+However, you can customize aspects by editing the `local.conf` file.
+See the
+"[Customizing Your Build](4_Customizing_Your_Build.md)"
+section for common configurations you might want to consider.
- You only need to update the firmware stack if you are
- using the Eel or later (5.0) version of AGL software.
+**NOTE:** For detailed explanations of the configurations you can make
+in the ``local.conf`` file, consult the
+[Yocto Project Documentation](https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/).
- M3 and H3 Renesas board are AArch64 platforms.
- As such, they have a firmware stack that is divided across: **ARM Trusted Firmware**, **OP-Tee** and **U-Boot**.
+A quick way to see if you have the `$MACHINE` variable set correctly
+is to use the following command:
- If you are using the Eel (5.0) version or later of the AGL software, you must update
- the firmware using the **[R-car h3ulcb firmware update](http://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK#Flashing_firmware)**
- or **[R-car m3ulcb firmware update](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/M3SK#Flashing_firmware)** links from the
- [Embedded Linux Wiki](https://www.elinux.org/Main_Page) (i.e. `elinux.org`).
+```sh
+grep -w -e "^MACHINE =" $AGL_TOP/build/conf/local.conf
+```
- The table in the wiki lists the files you need to flash the firmware.
- You can find these files in the following directory:
+Depending on the Renesas board you are using, you should see output
+as follows:
- ```sh
- $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
- ```
+```sh
+MACHINE = "h3ulcb"
+```
+or
+```sh
+MACHINE = "m3ulcb"
+```
+or
+```sh
+MACHINE = "h3-salvator-x"
+```
- **NOTE:** The Salvator-X firmware update process is not documented on eLinux.
+If you ran the `aglsetup.sh` script as described in the
+"[Making Sure Your Build Environment is Correct](./5_3_RCar_Gen_3.md#4-making-sure-your-build-environment-is-correct)"
+section earlier, the "agl-devel", "agl-demo", "agl-netboot", "agl-appfw-smack", and
+"agl-localdev" AGL features will be in effect.
+These features provide the following:
- * **Preparing the MicroSD Card**
+* A debugger (gdb)
+* Some tweaks, including a disabled root password
+* A SFTP server
+* The TCF Agent for easier application deployment and remote debugging
+* Some extra system tools such as USB and bluetooth
+* Support for the AGL demo platform
+* Network boot support through TFTP and NBD protocols
+* [IoT.bzh](https://iot.bzh/en/) Application Framework plus
+ [SMACK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smack_(software)) and
+ [Cynara](https://wiki.tizen.org/Security:Cynara)
+* Support for local development including `localdev.inc` when present
- ```sh
- $ lsblk
- $ sudo umount <boot_device_name>
- $ xzcat agl-image-ivi-crosssdk-h3ulcb.wic.xz | sudo dd of=<boot_device_name> bs=4M
- $ sync
- ```
+## 6. Using BitBake
- * **Booting the Board**
+This section shows the `bitbake` command used to build the AGL image.
+Before running BitBake to start your build, it is good to be reminded that AGL
+does provide pre-built images for developers that work with supported hardware.
+You can find these pre-built images on the
+[AGL Download web site](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release).
- Follow these steps to boot the board:
+Start the build using the `bitbake` command.
- 1. Use the board's power switch to turn off the board.
+**NOTE:** An initial build can take many hours depending on your
+CPU and and Internet connection speeds.
+The build also takes approximately 100G-bytes of free disk space.
- 2. Insert the MicroSD card into the board.
+For this example, the target is "agl-demo-platform":
- 3. Verify that you have plugged in the following:
+```sh
+bitbake agl-demo-platform
+```
- * An external monitor into the board's HDMI port
+The build process puts the resulting image in the Build Directory:
- * An input device (e.g. keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and so forth) into the board's USB ports.
+```
+<build_directory>/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
+```
- 4. Use the board's power switch to turn on the board.
+## 7. Booting the Image Using a MicroSD Card
- After a few seconds, you will see the AGL splash screen on the display and you
- will be able to log in at the console's terminal or using the graphic screen.
+To boot your image on the Renesas board, you need to do three things:
-## 6. Setting Up the Serial Console
+1. Update all firmware on the board.
+2. Prepare the MicroSD card to you can boot from it.
+3. Boot the board.
- Setting up the Serial Console involves the following:
+**NOTE:** For subsequent builds, you only have to re-write the MicroSD
+card with a new image.
- * Installing a serial client on your build host
- * Connecting your build host to your Renesas board's serial port
- * Powering on the board to get a shell at the console
- * Configuring U-Boot parameters
- * Logging into the console
- * Determining the board's IP address
+### Updating the Board's Firmware
- Brief about each process :
+Follow these steps to update the firmware:
- 1. Installing a Serial Client on Your Build Host
+1. **Update the Sample Loader and MiniMonitor:**
- You need to install a serial client on your build host.
- Some examples are [GNU Screen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen), [picocom](https://linux.die.net/man/8/picocom), and [Minicom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minicom). Of these three, "picocom" has less dependencies and is therefore considered the "lightest" solution.
+ You only need to make these updates one time per device.
- 2. Connecting Your Build Host to Your Renesas Board's Serial Port
+ Follow the procedure found on the
+ eLinux.org wiki to update to at least version 3.02,
+ which is mandatory to run the AGL image
+ ([R-car loader update](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/Kingfisher#How_to_update_of_Sample_Loader_and_MiniMonitor)).
- You need to physically connect your build host to the Renesas board using
- a USB cable from the host to the serial CP2102 USP port (i.e. Micro USB-A port)
- on the Renesas board.
+2. **Update the Firmware Stack:**
- Once you connect the board, determine the device created for the serial link.
- Use the `dmesg` command on your build host.
+ You only need to update the firmware stack if you are
+ using the Eel or later (5.0) version of AGL software.
- ```sh
- dmesg | tail 9
- [2097783.287091] usb 2-1.5.3: new full-speed USB device number 24 using ehci-pci
- [2097783.385857] usb 2-1.5.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6001

- [2097783.388658] usb 2-1.5.3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
- ```
+ M3 and H3 Renesas board are AArch64 platforms.
+ As such, they have a firmware stack that is divided across: **ARM Trusted Firmware**, **OP-Tee** and **U-Boot**.
- The device created is usually `/dev/ttyUSB0`.
- However, the number might vary depending on other USB serial ports connected to the host.
+ If you are using the Eel (5.0) version or later of the AGL software, you must update
+ the firmware using the **[h3ulcb] [R-car h3ulcb firmware update](http://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK#Flashing_firmware)**
+ or **[m3ulcb] [R-car m3ulcb firmware update](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/M3SK#Flashing_firmware)** links from the
+ [Embedded Linux Wiki](https://www.elinux.org/Main_Page) (i.e. `elinux.org`).
- To use the link, you need to launch the client.
- Here are three commands, which vary based on the serial client, that show
- how to launch the client:
+ The table in the wiki lists the files you need to flash the firmware.
+ You can find these files in the following directory:
```sh
- picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
+ $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
```
- or
-
- ```sh
- minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB0
- ```
+ **NOTE:** The Salvator-X firmware update process is not documented on eLinux.
- or
+### Preparing the MicroSD Card
+Plug the MicroSD card into your Build Host.
+After plugging in the device, use the `dmesg` command as follows to
+discover the device name:
+```sh
+$ dmesg | tail -4
+[ 1971.462160] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00
+[ 1971.462277] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] No Caching mode page found
+[ 1971.462278] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
+[ 1971.463870] sdc: sdc1 sdc2
+```
+In the previous example, the MicroSD card is attached to the device `/dev/sdc`.
+You can also use the `lsblk` command to show all your devices.
+Here is an example that shows the MicroSD card as `/dev/sdc`:
+```sh
+$ lsblk
+ NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
+ sda 8:0 0 167,7G 0 disk
+ ├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
+ ├─sda2 8:2 0 159,3G 0 part /
+ └─sda3 8:3 0 7,9G 0 part [SWAP]
+ sdb 8:16 0 931,5G 0 disk
+ └─sdb1 8:17 0 931,5G 0 part /media/storage
+ sdc 8:32 1 14,9G 0 disk
+ ├─sdc1 8:33 1 40M 0 part
+ └─sdc2 8:34 1 788M 0 part
+```
+**IMPORTANT NOTE:** Before re-writing any device on your Build Host, you need to
+be sure you are actually writing to the removable MicroSD card and not some other
+device.
+Each computer is different and removable devices can change from time to time.
+Consequently, you should repeat the previous operation with the MicroSD card to
+confirm the device name every time you write to the card.
+
+To summarize this example so far, we have the following:
+
+* The first SATA drive is `/dev/sda`.
+
+* `/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.
+
+Now that you have identified the device you are going to be writing the image on,
+you can use the `bmaptool` to copy the image to the MicroSD card.
+
+Your desktop system might offer a choice to mount the MicroSD automatically
+in some directory.
+For this example, assume that the MicroSD card mount directory is stored in the
+`$SDCARD` variable.
+
+Following are example commands that write the image to the MicroSD card:
+
+```sh
+cd $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
+bmaptool copy ./agl-demo-platform-$MACHINE.wic.xz <boot_device_name>
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can leave the image in an uncompressed state and write it
+to the MicroSD card:
+
+```sh
+sudo umount <boot_device_name>
+xzcat ./agl-demo-platform-$MACHINE.wic.xz | sudo dd of=<boot_device_name> bs=4M
+sync
+```
+
+### Booting the Board
+
+Follow these steps to boot the board:
+
+1. Use the board's power switch to turn off the board.
+
+2. Insert the MicroSD card into the board.
+
+3. Verify that you have plugged in the following:
+
+ * An external monitor into the board's HDMI port
+
+ * An input device (e.g. keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and so forth) into the board's USB ports.
+
+4. Use the board's power switch to turn on the board.
+
+After a few seconds, you will see the AGL splash screen on the display and you
+will be able to log in at the console's terminal or using the graphic screen.
+
+## 8. Setting Up the Serial Console
+
+Setting up the Serial Console involves the following:
+
+* Installing a serial client on your build host
+* Connecting your build host to your Renesas board's serial port
+* Powering on the board to get a shell at the console
+* Configuring U-Boot parameters
+* Logging into the console
+* Determining the board's IP address
+
+### Installing a Serial Client on Your Build Host
+
+You need to install a serial client on your build host.
+Some examples are:
+
+* [GNU Screen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen)
+* [picocom](https://linux.die.net/man/8/picocom)
+* [Minicom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minicom)
+
+Of these three, "picocom" has the least dependencies and is therefore
+considered the "lightest" solution.
+
+### Connecting Your Build Host to Your Renesas Board's Serial Port
+
+You need to physically connect your build host to the Renesas board using
+a USB cable from the host to the serial CP2102 USP port (i.e. Micro USB-A port)
+on the Renesas board.
+
+Once you connect the board, determine the device created for the serial link.
+Use the ``dmesg`` command on your build host.
+Here is an example:
+```sh
+dmesg | tail 9
+[2097783.287091] usb 2-1.5.3: new full-speed USB device number 24 using ehci-pci
+[2097783.385857] usb 2-1.5.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6001
+[2097783.385862] usb 2-1.5.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
+[2097783.385864] usb 2-1.5.3: Product: FT232R USB UART
+[2097783.385866] usb 2-1.5.3: Manufacturer: FTDI
+[2097783.385867] usb 2-1.5.3: SerialNumber: AK04WWCE
+[2097783.388288] ftdi_sio 2-1.5.3:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
+[2097783.388330] usb 2-1.5.3: Detected FT232RL
+[2097783.388658] usb 2-1.5.3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
+```
+The device created is usually "/dev/ttyUSB0".
+However, the number might vary depending on other USB serial ports connected to the host.
+
+To use the link, you need to launch the client.
+Here are three commands, which vary based on the serial client, that show
+how to launch the client:
+
+```sh
+$ picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
+```
+
+or
+
+```sh
+$ minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB0
+```
+
+or
+
+```sh
+$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
+```
+
+### Powering on the Board to Get a Shell at the Console
+
+Both the Pro and Premier kits (e.g.
+[m3ulcb](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/M3SK) and
+[h3ulcb](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK#Hardware)) have nine
+switches (SW1 through SW9).
+To power on the board, "short-press" SW8, which is the power switch.
+
+Following, is console output for the power on process for each kit:

- 5. Save the boot environment: `$ saveenv`
-
- 6. Boot the board: `$ run bootcmd`
-
-## 8. Troubleshooting
-
- * **Logging Into the Console**
-
- Once the board boots, you should see the
- [Wayland display](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol))
- on the external monitor.
- A login prompt should appear as follows depending on your board:
-
- **h3ulcb**:
+5. Save the boot environment:
```sh
- Automotive Grade Linux ${AGL_VERSION} h3ulcb ttySC0
-
- h3ulcb login: root
+ saveenv
```
- **m3ulcb**:
- ```sh
- Automotive Grade Linux ${AGL_VERSION} m3ulcb ttySC0
-
- m3ulcb login: root
- ```
-
- At the prompt, login by using `root` as the login.
- The password is "empty" so you should not be prompted for the password.
-
- * **Determining the Board's IP Address**
-
- If your board is connected to a local network using Ethernet and
- if a DHCP server is able to distribute IP addresses,
- you can determine the board's IP address and log in using `ssh`.
-
- Here is an example for the m3ulcb board:
-
- ```sh
- m3ulcb login: root
- root@m3ulcb:~# ip -4 a
- 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
- inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
- valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
- 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
- inet 10.0.0.27/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global eth0
- valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
- ```
-
- In the previous example, IP address is 10.0.0.27.
- Once you know the address, you can use `ssh` to login.
+6. Boot the board:
+ ```sh
+ run bootcmd
+ ```
- ```sh
- $ ssh root@10.0.0.27
- ```
+## 10. Troubleshooting
+### Logging Into the Console
-## 9. Supplementary Information
+Once the board boots, you should see the
+[Wayland display](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol))
+on the external monitor.
+A login prompt should appear as follows depending on your board:
- * R-Car Generation 3 Information
+**h3ulcb**:
- Refer to the following for more information from [eLinux website](https://elinux.org/R-Car).
+```text
+Automotive Grade Linux ${AGL_VERSION} h3ulcb ttySC0
- * Proprietary libraries for meta-rcar-gen3
+h3ulcb login: root
+```
- The meta-rcar-gen3 layer of meta-renesas is supported Graphic GLES(GSX)
- libraries, proprietary library of multimedia, and ICCOM software.
+**m3ulcb**:
- 1. Build with Renesas multimedia libraries
+```text
+Automotive Grade Linux ${AGL_VERSION} m3ulcb ttySC0
- Multimedia portions depend on GLES portions.
+m3ulcb login: root
+```
- * A. Configuration for Multimedia features
+At the prompt, login by using `root` as the login.
+The password is "empty" so you should not be prompted for the password.
+### Determining the Board's IP Address
- * Please copy proprietary libraries to the directory of recipes.
+If your board is connected to a local network using Ethernet and
+if a DHCP server is able to distribute IP addresses,
+you can determine the board's IP address and log in using `ssh`.
- * Please set local.conf the following.
