+# Building for Supported Renesas Boards
+
+AGL supports building for several automotive
+[Renesas](https://www.renesas.com/us/en/solutions/automotive.html) board kits.
+Renesas is the number one supplier of vehicle control microcontrollers and
+System on a Chip (SoC) products for the automotive industry.
+
+This section provides the build and deploy steps you need to create an
+image for the following Renesas platforms:
+
+* [Renesas R-Car Starter Kit Pro Board](https://www.elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/M3SK)
+* [Renesas R-Car Starter Kit Premier Board](https://www.elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK)
+* [Renesas Salvator-X Board](https://www.elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/Salvator-X)
+* [Renesas Kingfisher Infotainment Board](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/Kingfisher)
+
+**NOTE:** You can find similar information for the Pro and Premier board kits on the
+[R-Car/Boards/Yocto-Gen3](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/Yocto-Gen3) page.
+The information on this page describes setup and build procedures for both these
+Renesas development kits.
+
+You can find more information on building images from these resources:
+
+* [AGL-Devkit-Build-your-1st-AGL-Application.pdf](https://iot.bzh/download/public/2016/sdk/AGL-Devkit-Build-your-1st-AGL-Application.pdf)
+ Generic guide on how to build various application types (HTML5, native, Qt, QML, …) for AGL.
+ This is really about building an application and not the AGL image.
+* [AGL-Devkit-HowTo_bake_a_service.pdf](https://iot.bzh/download/public/2016/bsp/AGL_Phase2-Devkit-HowTo_bake_a_service.pdf)
+ Generic guide on how to add a new service in the BSP.
+ Goes back to 2015 and uses Yocto 2.x.
+ Includes stuff on building an image but looks like the focus is really the service.
+
+## 1. Downloading Proprietary Drivers
+
+Before setting up the build environment, you need to download proprietary drivers from the
+[R-Car H3/M3 Software library and Technical document](https://www.renesas.com/us/en/solutions/automotive/rcar-download/rcar-demoboard-2.html)
+site.
+This download site supports the Pro and Premier board starter kits.
+
+**NOTE:** Not sure what you do if you are using the Salvator-X or Kingfisher Infotainment boards.
+
+Follow these steps to download the drivers you need:
+
+1. **Determine the Files You Need:**
+
+ Run the ``setup_mm_packages.sh`` script as follows to
+ display the list of ZIP files containing the drivers you need.
+ Following is an example:
+
+ ```bash
+ grep -rn ZIP_.= $AGL_TOP/meta-agl/meta-agl-bsp/meta-rcar-gen3/scripts/setup_mm_packages.sh
+ ```
+
+ The script's output identifies the files you need to download from the page.
+
+2. **Get Your Board Support Package (BSP) Version:**
+
+ Be sure to have the correct BSP version of the R-Car Starter Kit
+ based on the version of the AGL software you are using.
+ Use the following table to map the Renesas version to your AGL software:
+
+ | AGL Version| Renesas version |
+ |:-:|:-:|
+ | AGL master | 3.21.0 |
+ | AGL icefish 9.0.0 9.0.1 9.0.2 | 3.21.0 |
+ | AGL halibut 8.0.2 8.0.3 8.0.4 8.0.5 8.0.6 | 3.21.0 |
+ | AGL halibut 8.0.1 | 3.19.0 |
+ | AGL halibut 8.0.0 | 3.15.0 |
+ | AGL guppy 7.0.4 | 3.21.0 |
+ | AGL guppy 7.0.3 | 3.19.0 |
+ | AGL guppy 7.0.0 7.0.1 7.0.2 | 3.9.0 |
+ | AGL flounder 6.0.3, 6.0.4 6.0.5 | 3.9.0 |
+ | AGL flounder 6.0.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2 | 3.7.0 |
+ | AGL eel 5.0.x, 5.1.0| 2.23.1 |
+ | AGL dab 4.0.x |2.19.0 |
+
+ **NOTE:**
+ Find the appropriate download links on the
+ [R-Car H3/M3 Software library and Technical document](https://www.renesas.com/us/en/solutions/automotive/rcar-download/rcar-demoboard-2.html)
+ site.
+ The file pairs are grouped according to the Yocto Project version you are
+ using with the AGL software.
+
+3. **Download the Files:**
+
+ Start the download process by clicking the download link.
+ If you do not have an account with Renesas, you will be asked to register a free account.
+ You must register and follow the "Click Through" licensing process
+ in order to download these proprietary files.
+
+ If needed, follow the instructions to create the free account by providing the required
+ account information.
+ Once the account is registered and you are logged in, you can download the files.
+
+ **NOTE:**
+ You might have to re-access the
+ [original page](https://www.renesas.com/us/en/solutions/automotive/rcar-download/rcar-demoboard-2.html)
+ that contains the download links you need after creating the account and logging in.
+
+4. **Create an Environment Variable to Point to Your Download Area:**
+
+ Create and export an environment variable named `XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR` that points to
+ your download directory.
+ Here is an example:
+
+ ```bash
+ export XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR=$HOME/Downloads
+ ```
+
+5. **Be Sure the Files Have Rights:**
+
+ Be sure you have the necessary rights for the files you downloaded.
+ You can use the following command:
+
+ ```bash
+ chmod a+r $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR/*.zip
+ ```
+
+6. **Check to be Sure the Files are Downloaded and Have the Correct Rights:**
+
+ Do a quick listing of the files to ensure they are in the download directory and
+ they have the correct access rights.
+ Here is an example:
+
+ ```bash
+ $ ls -l $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR/*.zip
+ -rw-r--r-- 1 iot bzh 5431245 sept. 16 21:07 R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_for_Linux-weston5-20190802.zip
+ -rw-r--r-- 1 iot bzh 3442158 sept. 16 21:07 R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_of_Linux_Drivers-weston5-20190802.zip
+ ```
+
+## 2. Getting More Software
+
+1. **Get the `bmaptool`:**
+
+ Download this tool from the
+ [bmap-tools](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/isv:LinuxAutomotive:AGL_Master/bmap-tools)
+ repository.
+ The site has pre-built packages (DEB or RPM) for the supported host
+ operating systems.
+
+## 3. Getting Your Hardware Together
+
+ Gather together this list of hardware items, which is not exhaustive.
+ Having these items ahead of time saves you from having to try and
+ collect hardware during development:
+
+Supported Starter
+
+* Kit Gen3 board with its 5V power supply.
+* Micro USB-A cable for serial console.
+ This cable is optional if you are using Ethernet and an SSH connection.
+* USB 2.0 Hub. The hub is optional but makes it easy to connect multiple USB devices.
+* Ethernet cable. The cable is optional if you are using a serial console.
+* HDMI type D (Micro connector) cable and an associated display.
+* 4 Gbyte minimum MicroSD Card. It is recommended that you use a class 10 type.
+* USB touch screen device such as the GeChic 1502i/1503i. A touch screen device is optional.
+
+ **NOTE:** The Salvator-X Board has NDA restrictions.
+ Consequently, less documentation is available for this board both here and across the
+ Internet.
+
+## 4. Making Sure Your Build Environment is Correct
+
+ The
+ "[Initializing Your Build Environment](../image-workflow-initialize-build-environment.html#Initializing-your-build-environment)"
+ section presented generic information for setting up your build environment
+ using the `aglsetup.sh` script.
+ If you are building an image for a supported Renesas board,
+ you need to take steps to make sure your build host is set up correctly.
+
+1. **Define Your Board:**
+
+ Depending on your Renesas board, define and export a `MACHINE` variable as follows:
+
+ | Board| `MACHINE` Setting |
+ |:-:|:-:|
+ | Starter Kit Pro/M3 | `MACHINE`=m3ulcb |
+ | Starter Kit Premier/H3 | `MACHINE`=h3ulcb |
+ | Salvator-X | `MACHINE`=h3-salvator-x |
+
+ For example, the following command defines and exports the `MACHINE` variable
+ for the Starter Kit Pro/M3 Board:
+
+ ```bash
+ export MACHINE=m3ulcb
+ ```
+
+2. **Run the `aglsetup.sh` Script:**
+
+ Use the following commands to run the AGL Setup script:
+
+ ```bash
+ cd $AGL_TOP
+ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m $MACHINE -b build agl-devel agl-demo agl-netboot agl-appfw-smack agl-localdev
+ ```
+
+ **NOTE:**
+ Running the `aglsetup.sh` script automatically places you in the
+ working directory (i.e. `$AGL_TOP/build`).
+ You can change this default behavior by adding the "-f" option to the
+ script's command line.
+
+ In the previous command, the "-m" option sets your machine to the previously
+ defined `MACHINE` variable.
+ The "-b" option defines your Build Directory, which is the
+ default `$AGL_TOP/build`.
+ Finally, the AGL features are provided to support building the AGL Demo image
+ for the Renesas board.
+
+ You can learn more about the AGL Features in the
+ "[Initializing Your Build Environment](../image-workflow-initialize-build-environment.html)"
+ section.
+
+3. **Examine the Script's Log:**
+
+ Running the `aglsetup.sh` script creates the `setup.log` file, which is in
+ the `build/conf` folder.
+ You can examine this log to see the results of the script.
+ For example, suppose the graphics drivers were missing or could not be extracted
+ when you ran the script.
+
+<details>
+ <summary> In case of missing graphics drivers, you could notice an error message
+ similar to the following:</summary>
+ <pre>
+ <code>
+[snip]
+--- fragment /home/working/workspace_agl_master/meta-agl/templates/machine/h3ulcb/50_setup.sh
+/home/working/workspace_agl_master /home/working/workspace_agl_master/build_gen3
+The graphics and multimedia acceleration packages for
+the R-Car Gen3 board can be downloaded from:
+https://www.renesas.com/en-us/solutions/automotive/rcar-demoboard-2.html
+
+These 2 files from there should be store in your'/home/devel/Downloads' directory.
+ R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_for_Linux-weston5-20190802.zip
+ R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_of_Linux_Drivers-weston5-20190802.zip

+Generating setup file: /home/working/workspace_agl_master/build_gen3/agl-init-build-env ... OK
+------------ aglsetup.sh: Done
+[snip]
+ </code>
+ </pre>
+</details>
+
+ If you encounter this issue, or any other unwanted behavior, you can fix the error
+ mentioned, remove the `$AGL_TOP/build` directory, and then re-launch the
+ `aglsetup.sh` again.
+
+<details>
+ <summary>Here is another example that indicates the driver files could not be extracted from the downloads directory:</summary>
+ <pre>
+ <code>

+The graphics and multimedia acceleration packages for
+the R-Car Gen3 board BSP can be downloaded from:
+<https://www.renesas.com/us/en/solutions/automotive/rcar-download/rcar-demoboard-2.html>
+
+These 2 files from there should be stored in your
+'/home/iotbzh/Downloads' directory.
+ R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_for_Linux-weston5-20190802.zip
+ R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_of_Linux_Drivers-weston5-20190802.zip
+ERROR: Script /home/iotbzh/workspace_agl/build/conf/setup.sh failed
+[snip]
+ </code>
+ </pre>
+</details>
+
+## 5. Checking Your Configuration
+
+Aside from environment variables and parameters you establish through
+running the `aglsetup.sh` script, you can ensure your build's configuration
+is just how you want it by examining the `local.conf` configuration file.
+
+You can find this configuration file in the Build Directory (e.g.
+"$TOP_DIR/build/conf/local.conf").
+
+In general, the defaults along with the configuration fragments the
+`aglsetup.sh` script applies in the `local.conf` file are good enough.
+However, you can customize aspects by editing the `local.conf` file.
+See the
+"[Customizing Your Build](../image-workflow-cust-build.html)"
+section for common configurations you might want to consider.
+
+**NOTE:** For detailed explanations of the configurations you can make
+in the ``local.conf`` file, consult the
+[Yocto Project Documentation](https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/).
+
+A quick way to see if you have the `$MACHINE` variable set correctly
+is to use the following command:
+
+```bash
+grep -w -e "^MACHINE =" $AGL_TOP/build/conf/local.conf
+```
+
+Depending on the Renesas board you are using, you should see output
+as follows:
+
+```bash
+ MACHINE = "h3ulcb"
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+ MACHINE = "m3ulcb"
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+ MACHINE = "h3-salvator-x"
+```
+
+If you ran the `aglsetup.sh` script as described in the
+"[Making Sure Your Build Environment is Correct](./renesas.html#4-making-sure-your-build-environment-is-correct)"
+section earlier, the "agl-devel", "agl-demo", "agl-netboot", "agl-appfw-smack", and
+"agl-localdev" AGL features will be in effect.
+These features provide the following:
+
+* A debugger (gdb)
+* Some tweaks, including a disabled root password
+* A SFTP server
+* The TCF Agent for easier application deployment and remote debugging
+* Some extra system tools such as USB and bluetooth
+* Support for the AGL demo platform
+* Network boot support through TFTP and NBD protocols
+* [IoT.bzh](https://iot.bzh/en/) Application Framework plus
+ [SMACK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smack_(software)) and
+ [Cynara](https://wiki.tizen.org/Security:Cynara)
+* Support for local development including `localdev.inc` when present
+
+## 6. Using BitBake
+
+This section shows the `bitbake` command used to build the AGL image.
+Before running BitBake to start your build, it is good to be reminded that AGL
+does provide pre-built images for developers that work with supported hardware.
+You can find these pre-built images on the
+[AGL Download web site](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release).
+
+For supported Renesas boards, the filenames have the following form:
+
+```bash
+<release-name>/<release-number>/m3ulcb-nogfx/deploy/images/m3ulcb/Image-m3ulcb.bin
+```
+
+Start the build using the `bitbake` command.
+
+**NOTE:** An initial build can take many hours depending on your
+CPU and and Internet connection speeds.
+The build also takes approximately 100G-bytes of free disk space.
+
+For this example, the target is "agl-demo-platform":
+
+```bash
+ bitbake agl-demo-platform
+```
+
+The build process puts the resulting image in the Build Directory:
+
+```bash
+<build_directory>/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
+```
+
+## 7. Booting the Image Using a MicroSD Card
+
+To boot your image on the Renesas board, you need to do three things:
+
+1. Update all firmware on the board.
+2. Prepare the MicroSD card to you can boot from it.
+3. Boot the board.
+
+**NOTE:** For subsequent builds, you only have to re-write the MicroSD
+card with a new image.
+
+### Updating the Board's Firmware
+
+Follow these steps to update the firmware:
+
+1. **Update the Sample Loader and MiniMonitor:**
+
+ You only need to make these updates one time per device.
+
+ Follow the procedure found on the
+ eLinux.org wiki to update to at least version 3.02,
+ which is mandatory to run the AGL image ([R-car loader update](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/Kingfisher#How_to_update_of_Sample_Loader_and_MiniMonitor)).
+
+2. **Update the Firmware Stack:**
+
+ You only need to update the firmware stack if you are
+ using the Eel or later (5.0) version of AGL software.
+
+ M3 and H3 Renesas board are AArch64 platforms.
+ As such, they have a firmware stack that is divided across: **ARM Trusted Firmware**, **OP-Tee** and **U-Boot**.
+
+ If you are using the Eel (5.0) version or later of the AGL software, you must update
+ the firmware using the **[h3ulcb][R-car h3ulcb firmware update](http://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK#Flashing_firmware)**
+ or **[m3ulcb][R-car m3ulcb firmware update](https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/M3SK#Flashing_firmware)** links from the
+ [Embedded Linux Wiki](https://www.elinux.org/Main_Page) (i.e. `elinux.org`).
+
+ The table in the wiki lists the files you need to flash the firmware.
+ You can find these files in the following directory:
+
+ ```bash
+ $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
+ ```
+
+ **NOTE:** The Salvator-X firmware update process is not documented on eLinux.
+
+### Preparing the MicroSD Card
+
+<details>
+ <summary>
+ Plug the MicroSD card into your Build Host.
+ After plugging in the device, use the `dmesg` command as follows to
+ discover the device name:
+ </summary>
+ <pre>
+ <code>
+$ dmesg | tail -4
+[ 1971.462160] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00
+[ 1971.462277] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] No Caching mode page found
+[ 1971.462278] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
+[ 1971.463870] sdc: sdc1 sdc2
+ </code>
+ </pre>
+</details>
+
+In the previous example, the MicroSD card is attached to the device `/dev/sdc`.
+
+<details>
+ <summary>
+ You can also use the `lsblk` command to show all your devices.
+ Here is an example that shows the MicroSD card as `/dev/sdc`:
+ </summary>
+ <pre>
+ <code>
+$ lsblk
+ NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
+ sda 8:0 0 167,7G 0 disk
+ ├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
+ ├─sda2 8:2 0 159,3G 0 part /
+ └─sda3 8:3 0 7,9G 0 part [SWAP]
+ sdb 8:16 0 931,5G 0 disk
+ └─sdb1 8:17 0 931,5G 0 part /media/storage
+ sdc 8:32 1 14,9G 0 disk
+ ├─sdc1 8:33 1 40M 0 part
+ └─sdc2 8:34 1 788M 0 part
+ </code>
+ </pre>
+</details>
+
+**IMPORTANT NOTE:** Before re-writing any device on your Build Host, you need to
+be sure you are actually writing to the removable MicroSD card and not some other
+device.
+Each computer is different and removable devices can change from time to time.
+Consequently, you should repeat the previous operation with the MicroSD card to
+confirm the device name every time you write to the card.
+
+To summarize this example so far, we have the following:
+
+* The first SATA drive is `/dev/sda`.
+
+* `/dev/sdc` corresponds to the MicroSD card, and is also marked as a removable device.
+ You can see this in the output of the `lsblk` command where "1" appears in the "RM" column
+ for that device.
+
+Now that you have identified the device you are going to be writing the image on,
+you can use the `bmaptool` to copy the image to the MicroSD card.
+
+Your desktop system might offer a choice to mount the MicroSD automatically
+in some directory.
+For this example, assume that the MicroSD card mount directory is stored in the
+`$SDCARD` variable.
+
+Following are example commands that write the image to the MicroSD card:
+
+```bash
+cd $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
+bmaptool copy ./agl-demo-platform-$MACHINE.wic.xz $SDCARD
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can leave the image in an uncompressed state and write it
+to the MicroSD card:
+
+```bash
+ sudo umount /dev/sdc
+ xzcat ./agl-demo-platform-$MACHINE.wic.xz | sudo dd of=$SDCARD bs=4M
+ sync
+```
+
+### Booting the Board
+
+Follow these steps to boot the board:
+
+1. Use the board's power switch to turn off the board.
+
+2. Insert the MicroSD card into the board.
+
+3. Verify that you have plugged in the following:
+
+ * An external monitor into the board's HDMI port
+
+ * An input device (e.g. keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and so forth) into the board's USB ports.
+
+4. Use the board's power switch to turn on the board.
+
+After a few seconds, you will see the AGL splash screen on the display and you
+will be able to log in at the console's terminal or using the graphic screen.
+
+## 8. Setting Up the Serial Console
+
+Setting up the Serial Console involves the following:
+
+* Installing a serial client on your build host
+* Connecting your build host to your Renesas board's serial port
+* Powering on the board to get a shell at the console
+* Configuring U-Boot parameters
+* Logging into the console
+* Determining the board's IP address
+
+### Installing a Serial Client on Your Build Host
+
+You need to install a serial client on your build host.
+Some examples are
+[GNU Screen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen),
+[picocom](https://linux.die.net/man/8/picocom),
+and
+[Minicom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minicom).
+
+Of these three, "picocom" has less dependencies and is therefore
+considered the "lightest" solution.
+
+### Connecting Your Build Host to Your Renesas Board's Serial Port
+
+You need to physically connect your build host to the Renesas board using
+a USB cable from the host to the serial CP2102 USP port (i.e. Micro USB-A port)
+on the Renesas board.
+
+<details>
+ <summary>
+ Once you connect the board, determine the device created for the serial link.
+ Use the ``dmesg`` command on your build host.
+ Here is an example:
+ </summary>
+ <pre>
+ <code>
+dmesg | tail 9
+[2097783.287091] usb 2-1.5.3: new full-speed USB device number 24 using ehci-pci

+The device created is usually "/dev/ttyUSB0".
+However, the number might vary depending on other USB serial ports connected to the host.
+
+To use the link, you need to launch the client.
+Here are three commands, which vary based on the serial client, that show
+how to launch the client:
+
+```bash
+picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB0
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

+## 9. Setting-up U-boot
+
+### Configuring U-Boot Parameters
+
+Follow these steps to configure the board to use the MicroSD card as the
+boot device and also to set the screen resolution:
+
+<ol>
+ <li>As the board is powering up, press any key to stop the autoboot process.
+ You need to press a key quickly as you have just a few seconds in which to
+ press a key.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>Once the autoboot process is interrupted, use the board's serial console to
+ enter <b>printenv</b> to check if you have correct parameters for booting your board:

+ </code>
+ </pre>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>Depending on the board type, the BSP version, and the existence of

+
+## 10. Troubleshooting
+
+### Logging Into the Console
+
+Once the board boots, you should see the
+[Wayland display](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol))
+on the external monitor.
+A login prompt should appear as follows depending on your board:
+
+**h3ulcb**:
+
+```bash
+Automotive Grade Linux ${AGL_VERSION} h3ulcb ttySC0
+
+h3ulcb login: root
+```
+
+**m3ulcb**:
+
+```bash
+Automotive Grade Linux ${AGL_VERSION} m3ulcb ttySC0
+
+m3ulcb login: root
+```
+
+At the prompt, login by using `root` as the login.
+The password is "empty" so you should not be prompted for the password.
+
+### Determining the Board's IP Address
+
+If your board is connected to a local network using Ethernet and
+if a DHCP server is able to distribute IP addresses,
+you can determine the board's IP address and log in using `ssh`.
+
+<details>
+ <summary>
+ Here is an example for the m3ulcb board:
+ </summary>
+ <pre>
+ <code>
+ m3ulcb login: root
+ Last login: Tue Dec 6 09:55:15 UTC 2016 on tty2
+ root@m3ulcb:~# ip -4 a
+ 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
+ inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
+ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000

+ root@m3ulcb:~#
+ </code>
+ </pre>
+</details>
+
+<details>
+ <summary>
+ In the previous example, IP address is 10.0.0.27.
+ Once you know the address, you can use `ssh` to login.
+ Following is an example that shows logging into SSH and then
+ displaying the contents of the `/etc/os-release` file:
+ </summary>
+ <pre>
+ <code>
+ $ ssh root@10.0.0.27
+ Last login: Tue Dec 6 10:01:11 2016 from 10.0.0.13
+ root@m3ulcb:~# cat /etc/os-release
