Developer-Guide¶
This project implements a real time platform to deploy the O-CU and O-DU and it’s based on Yocto/OpenEmbedded.
This includes a Yocto/OpenEmbedded compatible layer meta-oran and wrapper scripts to pull all required Yocto/OE layers to build out the reference platform.
To contribute on this project, basic knowledge of Yocto/OpenEmbedded is needed, please refer to the following docs if you want to learn about how to develop with Yocto/OpenEmbedded:
1. Prerequisite for build environment¶
Your host need to meet the requirements for Yocto, please refer to:
The recommended and tested host is Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 and CentOS 7.
To install the required packages for Ubuntu 16.04/18.04:
$ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \
build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \
xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping make xsltproc docbook-utils fop dblatex xmlto \
python-git
* To install the required packages for CentOS 7:
$ sudo yum install -y epel-release
$ sudo yum makecache
$ sudo yum install gawk make wget tar bzip2 gzip python unzip perl patch \
diffutils diffstat git cpp gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel texinfo chrpath socat \
perl-Data-Dumper perl-Text-ParseWords perl-Thread-Queue perl-Digest-SHA \
python34-pip xz which SDL-devel xterm
2. Use wrapper script build_inf.sh to setup build env and build the INF AIO x86 image¶
# Get the wrapper script with either curl or wget
$ curl -o build_inf.sh 'https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=pti/rtp.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/build_inf.sh;hb=HEAD'
$ wget -O build_inf.sh 'https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=pti/rtp.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/build_inf.sh;hb=HEAD'
$ chmod +x build_inf.sh
$ WORKSPACE=/path/to/workspace
$ ./build_inf.sh -w ${WORKSPACE}
If all go well, you will get the ISO image in: ${WORKSPACE}/prj_oran_inf_anaconda/tmp-glibc/deploy/images/intel-corei7-64/inf-image-aio-installer-intel-corei7-64.iso
3. (Optional) Use wrapper script build_oran.sh to setup build env and build the lagecy x86 image¶
Note: The lagecy image is the Kubernetes Cluster image as the same one in Amber (1.0) release.
# Get the wrapper script with either curl or wget
$ curl -o build_oran.sh 'https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=pti/rtp.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/build_oran.sh;hb=HEAD'
$ wget -O build_oran.sh 'https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=pti/rtp.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/build_oran.sh;hb=HEAD'
$ chmod +x build_oran.sh
$ WORKSPACE=/path/to/workspace_lagecy
$ ./build_oran.sh -w ${WORKSPACE}
If all go well, you will get the ISO image in: ${WORKSPACE}/prj_oran_inf/tmp-glibc/deploy/images/intel-x86-64/oran-image-inf-host-intel-x86-64.iso
4. (Optional) Use wrapper script build_oran.sh to setup build env and build the ARM Kubernetes Cluster image¶
- Note:
the ARM Kubernetes Cluster image only supports the BSP nxp-lx2xxx and is verified with the board NXP LX2160ARDB
The ISO image is supported yet.
# Get the wrapper script with either curl or wget
$ curl -o build_oran.sh 'https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=pti/rtp.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/build_oran.sh;hb=HEAD'
$ wget -O build_oran.sh 'https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=pti/rtp.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/build_oran.sh;hb=HEAD'
$ chmod +x build_oran.sh
$ WORKSPACE=/path/to/workspace_arm
$ ./build_oran.sh -w ${WORKSPACE} -b nxp-lx2xxx
If all go well, you will get the rootfs image in: ${WORKSPACE}/prj_oran_inf/tmp-glibc/deploy/images/nxp-lx2xxx/oran-image-inf-host-nxp-lx2xxx.tar.bz2
