The HIPOS Platform Project

HIPOS is an Open Source, Yocto/Poky based BSP and Linux distribution for embedded devices mainly from the iris-GmbH infrared & intelligent sensors.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

A powerful build machine with a lot of RAM, with fast and large HDDs (SSDs preferred)

• git
• python 3.x
• kas
• A Linux-based build host with Yocto dependencies installed

For required packages at your build host see OE wiki.

Building an image

1. get HIPOS

git clone git://github.com/iris-GmbH/HIPOS.git

This will clone the HIPOS project into the local sub directory HIPOS/. Change into this directory by issuing

cd HIPOS

2. start the Yocto build using kas

Run (exactly like this!):

kas build kas-open.yml

in the repository root. All configured yocto layers we're using will be initialized. The script will also generate bblayers.conf and local.conf, after which the hipos-prodimage will be built.

Debugging

build environment

1. Enter interactive build shell

kas shell kas-open.yml

2. Execute a Yocto task

kas shell kas-open.yml -c "MACHINE=himx0294 bitbake hipos-devimage"
