Intel(R) Ref-OS-IoT

This README file contains information about building the Intel(R) Reference Operating System for the Internet of Things, or Intel(R) REF-OS-IOT for short, from the supplied source.

Intel(R) REF-OS-IOT is a Linux*-based OS designed to work elegantly and efficiently with the Intel(R) Joule(TM) Compute Module or Intel(R) Edison Compute Module.

INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are for building with bitbake directly and assume basic knowledge of build environments and processes. For more information on bitbake see https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/projects/bitbake NOTE: Instructions for Docker* can be found in the IoT Reference OS Kit for Intel(R) Architecture project, see https://github.com/intel/intel-iot-refkit. NOTE: The method described below needs around 135GB of disk space.

Setup Ubuntu 16.04 host for build:

Preparation:

The above example is for use with the Intel(R) Joule(TM) Compute Module (550x or 570x), but it is also possible to build for different compute modules by simply selecting which env file is sourced, e.g., for the Intel(R) Edison Compute Module the source command would be:

$ source edison-init-build-env for an Edison board.

Building:

$ bitbake full-image

You may need to pull new content from the GitHub* repo as it’s updated. To do this use the following commands:
