## README

# meta-mbed-raspberrypi

This README file contains information on the contents of the
`meta-mbed-raspberrypi` layer.

The `meta-mbed-raspberrypi` layer contains `mbed_sdcard_image-rpi-class`
that can be used to build an SD-card image capable of firmware update through
Mbed Cloud Client. In practice this means an image with additional partitions
and `u-boot` bootloader.

To use this layer, add following lines to your `local.conf`-file:

```
MACHINE = "mbed-rpi3"
RPI_USE_U_BOOT = "1"
#ENABLE_UART is strictly not necessary, but can help with debugging issues.
ENABLE_UART="1"

#Mbed Edge and protocol translator examples use systemd, it is enabled with these
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = "sysvinit"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = ""
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " connman"
```

To enable the bluetooth features, add following lines to your `local.conf`-file:

```
DISTRO_FEATURES_append += " bluetooth "
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += " ${MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS} "
```

`${MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS}` contains the Broadcom firmware packages.

# Dependencies

The Mbed Edge on Raspberry Pi 3 is currently tested on top of the `sumo`-version
of the Yocto and with this layer. The following repositories are required to build
an image with Raspberry Pi 3 support:

[poky](https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/)

[meta-openembedded](http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/)

[meta-raspberrypi](https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-raspberrypi/)

# Adding the `meta-mbed-raspberrypi` layer to your build

In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of
it.

Assuming the `meta-mbed-raspberrypi` layer exists at the top-level of your
Yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the
location of the `meta-mbed-raspberrypi` layer to `bblayers.conf`,
along with any other layers needed. e.g.:

```
  BBLAYERS ?= " \
    /path/to/yocto/meta \
    /path/to/yocto/meta-poky \
    /path/to/yocto/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
    /path/to/yocto/meta-raspberrypi
    /path/to/yocto/meta-mbed-raspberrypi \
    "
```
