This is the external Buildroot repository used to build system images and updates for the MynaPlayer project. Changelog -------- A [changelog](https://git.lumina-sensum.com/LuminaSensum/buildroot-MynaPlayer/blob/stable-dev-board/changelog.md) is available so that users and developers can quickly check what changed between releases. Building -------- Building MynaPlayer is an easy process, though it requires decent hardware. First install Buildroot's required dependencies. See: [The buildroot user manual, chapter 2: System requirements](https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#requirement) Then set up the required source code: ``` mkdir MYNA && cd MYNA wget 'https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa/releases/download/v3.0.7/EasyRSA-3.0.7.tgz' wget 'https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/snapshot/buildroot-2020.05.1.tar.gz' tar -xf EasyRSA-3.0.7.tgz tar -xf buildroot-2020.05.1.tar.gz mv EasyRSA-3.0.7 easy-rsa mv buildroot-2020.05.1 buildroot git clone 'https://git.lumina-sensum.com/git/LuminaSensum/buildroot-MynaPlayer.git' export BR2_EXTERNAL="$PWD/buildroot-MynaPlayer" cd buildroot for p in ../buildroot-MynaPlayer/buildroot-patches/*.patch; do patch -p1 < $p; done cd .. ``` Create keys for RAUC updates: ``` cd easy-rsa sed -i "s/extendedKeyUsage/#extendedKeyUsage/g" easyrsa3/x509-types/code-signing ./easyrsa3/easyrsa init-pki ./easyrsa3/easyrsa build-ca ./easyrsa3/easyrsa gen-req rauc ./easyrsa3/easyrsa sign-req code-signing rauc cd .. cat >buildroot-MynaPlayer/scripts/certs.sh <<EOF #!/bin/sh RAUC_CERTIFICATE_AUTHORITY="$PWD/easy-rsa/pki/ca.crt" RAUC_PRIVATE_KEY="$PWD/easy-rsa/pki/private/rauc.key" RAUC_PUBLIC_KEY="$PWD/easy-rsa/pki/issued/rauc.crt" EOF ``` Build the image: ``` cd buildroot make O=output_build myna_player_odyssey_defconfig make O=output_build -j8 cd .. ``` Installing via dd ----------------- For the initial install of Buildroot you'll need to write a full system image to your board's storage. To flash to eMMC, first boot Linux from an SD card on the board. See [Seeed's ODYSSEY STM32MP157C Wiki page](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ODYSSEY-STM32MP157C/) for instructions on how to do this. First, copy the image to the board from your build server. In this case I'll use SFTP over SSH: ``` sftp build-server:/home/jookia/MYNA/buildroot/output_build/images/MynaPlayer.img . ``` Now write it to the eMMC: ``` dd if=MynaPlayer.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 ``` Switch to eMMC boot and reboot. You can use this method to install updates, but it's much slower compared to RAUC. Updating via RAUC ----------------- To update using RAUC you'll need a server to host the files. In this example I'll be using a web server (www.jookia.org) which serves contents from /var/www/www.jookia.org/. First, copy RAUC bundles and keys to your server: ``` ls buildroot/output_build/images/ # Find the file ending in *.raucb # You can also just flash MynaPlayer.img using dd but it takes a long time mv buildroot/output_build/images/bundle-MynaPlayer.2020-09-06.raucb /var/www/www.jookia.org/ cp $PWD/easy-rsa/pki/ca.crt /var/www/www.jookia.org/ chmod a+r /var/www/www.jookia.org/ca.crt ``` Install the update on the device from the server: ``` wget 'https://www.jookia.org/ca.crt' cp /etc/rauc/keyring.pem{,.bak} mv ca.crt /etc/rauc/keyring.pem rauc install https://www.jookia.org/bundle-MynaPlayer.2020-09-06.raucb mv /etc/rauc/keyring.pem{.bak,} reboot ``` * Notes: * The bundle file name is derived from git describe, and might differ slightly if you use a branch with committed but not yet released work. E.g: bundle-MynaPlayer.2020-09-06-18-g3d0589f.raucb. * If you have uncommitted work present in your branch, then the file name will have a 'dirty' tag added. * If your git index and cache become corrupted for any reason, your bundle will have a 'broken' tag added. This doesn't indicate by any means that your image is broken! Future updates won't need to copy the keyring, a single 'rauc install' invocation should download and install the image without trouble. You should now be running a system you've just built (check the kernel build date): ``` uname -a # Linux MynaPlayer 5.8.0 #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 6 03:21:30 EDT 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux ```
