Follow the Yocto Project official documentation to set up and configure your host machine to be compatible with BitBake.
- Clone the repositories.
git clone https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky
git clone https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded
git clone https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/meta-intel
git clone https://github.com/intel/meta-openvino
- Set up the OpenEmbedded build environment.
source poky/oe-init-build-env
- Add BitBake layers.
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-oe
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-python
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-intel
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openvino
- Set up BitBake configurations.
Include extra configuration in the
conf/local.conf
file in your build directory as required.
MACHINE = "intel-skylake-64"
# Enable building OpenVINO Python API.
# This requires meta-python layer to be included in bblayers.conf.
PACKAGECONFIG:append:pn-openvino-inference-engine = " python3"
# This adds OpenVINO related libraries in the target image.
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL:append = " openvino-inference-engine"
# This adds OpenVINO samples in the target image.
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL:append = " openvino-inference-engine-samples"
# Include OpenVINO Python API package in the target image.
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL:append = " openvino-inference-engine-python3"
Run BitBake to build your image with OpenVINO packages. For example, to build the minimal image, run the following command:
bitbake core-image-minimal
Verify that OpenVINO packages were built successfully. Run the following command:
oe-pkgdata-util list-pkgs | grep openvino
If the image build is successful, it will return the list of packages as below:
openvino-inference-engine
openvino-inference-engine-dbg
openvino-inference-engine-dev
openvino-inference-engine-python3
openvino-inference-engine-samples
openvino-inference-engine-src
openvino-inference-engine-doc
