The Yocto Build Guide covers how to build a stable and validated version of meta-qcom. The mainline build tracks the latest development revision of meta-qcom and is intended for developers who need early access to new features, fixes, or upstream changes.

Build Instructions

  • Download the development branch of meta-qcom.
  • Build the software image using kas. You define build targets based on machine and distro combinations.
    In some host machines https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/meta-virtualization may fail to clone. If you encounter this, configure Git to automatically redirect the URL to the working one:
    To verify the redirect is in place:
    Export GITCONFIG_FILE parameter to ensure the ~/.gitconfig configuration is visible to the kas environment
  • The build creates a single tarball containing all the relevant files to perform a full clean flash, including partition metadata, boot firmware, ESP partition and the rootfs. After a successful build, check if the qcomflash tarball exists in the build artifacts. The following examples use qcom-multimedia-proprietary-image as the image name.
