-# AGL Kickstart on Renesas R-Car Starter Kit Gen3 (h3ulcb, m3ulcb, salvator-x(optional))
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-* At this step, you are assumed to have downloaded the [AGL source code](/docs/getting_started/en/dev/reference/source-code.html).
-
-See the related paragraph if not done yet.
-
-* For creating the microSD card, you will need **bmaptool**
-
-There are pre-built packages (.deb or .rpm) for the supported host OSes, available at [this location](
-https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/isv:LinuxAutomotive:AGL_Master/bmap-tools)
-
-## Hardware
-
-Here is a non exhaustive list of hardware parts that could be used to setup the R-Car Starter Kit Gen3 board development environment:
-
-* Starter Kit Gen3 board with its 5V power supply
-* micro USB-A cable for serial console (optional if using ethernet and ssh connection)
-* USB 2.0 Hub (optional)
-* Ethernet cable (optional if using serial console)
-* HDMI type D (Micro connector) cable and associated display
-* micro-SD Card (at least 4GB) and recommend to use class 10 type.
-* USB touch screen device like the GeChic 1502i/1503i (optional)

-## BSP Version of R-Car Starter Kit Gen3
-
-| AGL Version| Renesas version |
-|:-:|:-:|
-| AGL master  | 3.9.0 |
-| AGL 6.0.0 | 3.7.0 |
-| AGL 5.0.x, 5.1.0| 2.23.1 |
-| AGL 4.0.x |2.19.0 |
-
-## Building the AGL Demo Platform for R-Car Starter Kit Gen3
-
-Before setting up the build environment, you need to download the proprietary drivers.
-
-* The version of the drivers you need can be displayed this way:
-
-```bash
-grep -rn ZIP_.= $AGL_TOP/meta-agl/meta-agl-bsp/meta-rcar-gen3/scripts/setup_mm_packages.sh
-```
-
-* Download Renesas graphics drivers with a "click through" license from [Renesas website][rcar Linux Drivers 2]
-  * Under the Target hardware: **R-Car H3/M3** section.
-
-**Note**:
-
-* You have to register with a free account on MyRenesas and accept the license conditions before downloading the drivers.
- The operation is fast and simple nevertheless mandatory to access evaluation of non open-source drivers for free.
- Once you registered, you can download two zip files.
-* It is recommended to store these drivers into your download directory (usually $HOME/Downloads, pointed by $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in some OS).
-  * To avoid any errors, check that $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR is set to the directory where the drivers are stored, if not, set it using 'export' command
-* Be sure to have the need rights for these files using :
-
-```bash
-chmod a+r $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR/*.zip
-```
-
-* Check that the needed drivers files are found using :
-
-```bash
-ls -1 $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR

-```
-
-### Setting up the build environment
-
-Define the type of R-Car Starter Kit board as a variable:
-
-* for machine **h3ulcb** (Starter Kit Premier/H3) :
-
-```bash
-export MACHINE=h3ulcb
-```
-
-* for machine **m3ulcb** (Starter Kit Pro/M3):
-
-```bash
-export MACHINE=m3ulcb
-```
-
-* for machine **h3-salvator-x**:
-
-```bash
-export MACHINE=h3-salvator-x
-```
-
-Now, init your build environment:
-
-```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
-```
-
-**IMPORTANT NOTE**: Read the log to be sure you had no error during your setup.
-
-In case of missing graphics drivers, you could notice an error message as follow:
-
-```bash
-[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-weston2-20170904.zip
-  R-Car_Gen3_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_of_Linux_Drivers-weston2-20170904.zip

---- end of setup script
-OK
-Generating setup file: /home/working/workspace_agl_master/build_gen3/agl-init-build-env ... OK
------------- aglsetup.sh: Done
-[snip]
-```
-
-If you encounter this issue, or any other unwanted behavior, you can fix the error mentioned and then clean up by removing the “$AGL_TOP/build” directory then re-launch the procedure again.
-
-In any case, you can find out more information for the reason of the error in this file:
-
-```bash

-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

-ERROR: Script /home/thierry/workspace_agl/build/conf/setup.sh failed
-[snip]
-```
-
-After this command, the working directory is changed to $AGL_TOP/build.
-
-If you do not want do this, another option is to add the '**-f**' option to agl_setup.sh.
-
-Users may want to check that the board is correctly selected in the environment:
-
-```bash
-grep -w -e "^MACHINE =" $AGL_TOP/build/conf/local.conf
-  MACHINE = "h3ulcb"
-or
-  MACHINE = "m3ulcb"
-or
-  MACHINE = "h3-salvator-x"
-```
-
-Configure for Release or Development:
-
-* development images contain extra tools for developer convenience, in particular:
-  * 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 (usb, bluetooth ...)
-  * ...
-
-We explicitely activate these debug facilities by specifying the “agl-devel agl-netboot” feature.
-
-### Build your image
-
-The process to build an image is simple:
-
-```bash
-bitbake agl-demo-platform
-```
-
-You may need to install rpcgen to run this command.
-
-When finished (it may take few hours), you should get the final result:
-
-```bash
-ls -l $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
-```
-
-**Note**:
-
-In case of failure of the build it is safe to first check that the Linux distribution chosen for your host has been validated for the current version of Yocto used by AGL.
-
-## Booting AGL Image on R-Car Starter Kit Gen3 boards using a microSD card
-
-To boot the board using a micro-SD card, there are two operations that must be done prior to first initial boot:
-
-* Update all firmware on the device.
-* Set up the board to boot on the SD-card.
-
-For each subsequent build you only need to rewrite the SD-card with the new image.
-
-### Firmware Update
-
-This proceedure is done in two steps. The 'Sample Loader and MiniMonitor update' step only needs to be done once per device. The 'Firmware stack update' step is mandatory only if you use AGl Eel (version 5.0) or later.
-
-#### Sample Loader and MiniMonitor update
-
-Follow the documentation on the [eLinux.org wiki][R-car loader update] to update to at least version 3.02. This is mandatory to run AGL.
-
-#### Firmware stack update
-
-As an AArch64 platform, both **h3ulcb** and **m3ulcb** have a firmware stack divided in : **ARM Trusted Firmware**, **OP-Tee** and **U-Boot**.
-
-If you use AGl Eel (version 5.0) or later, you must update the firmware using the following links to eLinux.org wiki: **[h3ulcb][R-car h3ulcb firmware update]** or **[m3ulcb][R-car m3ulcb firmware update]**.
-
-The files listed in the eLinux.org wiki table will be found in the directory:
-
-```bash
-*\$AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE*
-```
-
-The Salvator-X firmware update process is not documented on eLinux.
-
-### Prepare the SD-card on the host
-
-Plug the microSD card and get its associated device by either running *`dmesg | tail -15`* or *`lsblk`*, for example:
-
-```bash
-dmesg | tail -15
-
-  [ 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
-```
-
-Here, the SD-card is attached to the device /dev/sdc.
-
-```bash
-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
-```
-
-**IMPORTANT NOTE**: This is a critical operation, each computer is different and removable devices can change from time to time:
-so you should repeat this operation each time you insert the microSD card to confirm the device name.
-
-In the example above, we see:
-
-* the first SATA drive as 'sda'.
-* 'sdc' corresponds to the microSD card, and is also marked as removable device by *lsblk* which is a good confirmation.
-* Your desktop system probably offers a choice to mount the SD-card automatically in some directory.
-* In the next sample code, we'll suppose that the SD-card mount directory is stored in the variable $SDCARD.
-* For example, if the microSD card is associated with device *sdc*:
-
-Go to your build directory:
-
-```bash
-cd $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
-```
-
-You can use bmaptool to copy the **.wic.xz** file to the storage device, discovered in the previous step:
-
-```bash
-bmaptool copy ./agl-demo-platform-$MACHINE.wic.xz $SDCARD
-```
-
-Or you can be uncompressed and written to the device:
-
-```bash
-  sudo umount /dev/sdc
-  xzcat ./agl-demo-platform-$MACHINE.wic.xz | sudo dd of=$SDCARD bs=4M
-  sync
-```
-
-### Booting the board
-
-* Turn the board off using the power switch.
-* Insert the microSD-card.
-* Verify that you have plugged in, at least :
-  * An external monitor on HDMI port
-  * An input device (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen...) on USB port.
-
-* Turn the board on using the power switch.
- After a few seconds, you'll see the AGL splash screen on the display and you'll be able to log in on the console terminal or in the graphic screen.
-
-## Serial Console Setup
-
-### Install a serial client on your computer
-
-This can be “screen”, “picocom”, “minicom”.
-The lighter of the 3 is “picocom” (it has less dependencies).
-
-### Plug a USB cable from your computer to the serial CP2102 USB port (micro USB-A)
-
-With “dmesg” you can check the device created for the serial link.
-Usually, it's /dev/ttyUSB0 but the number may vary depending on other USB serial ports connected to the host.
-To get it, you must switch the board on.
-For example:
-
-```bash
-dmesg | tail
-[2097783.287091] usb 2-1.5.3: new full-speed USB device number 24 using ehci-pci
-[2097783.385857] usb 2-1.5.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6001
-[2097783.385862] usb 2-1.5.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
-[2097783.385864] usb 2-1.5.3: Product: FT232R USB UART
-[2097783.385866] usb 2-1.5.3: Manufacturer: FTDI
-[2097783.385867] usb 2-1.5.3: SerialNumber: AK04WWCE
-[2097783.388288] ftdi_sio 2-1.5.3:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
-[2097783.388330] usb 2-1.5.3: Detected FT232RL
-[2097783.388658] usb 2-1.5.3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
-```
-
-The link is attached to the device /dev/ttyUSB0.
-It is time to launch your serial client.
-Example:
-
-```bash
-picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
-```
-
-or
-
-```bash
-minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB0
-```
-
-or
-
-```bash
-screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
-```
-
-### Power on the board to see a shell on the console

-    ```
-
-    * For machine h3ulcb (BSP >= 2.19):
-
-    ```
-    setenv load_dtb ext4load mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /boot/Image-r8a7795-es1-h3ulcb.dtb
-    ```
-
-    * For machine h3ulcb (BSP < 2.19):
-
-    ```
-    setenv load_dtb ext4load mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /boot/Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb
-    ```
-
-    * For machine m3ulcb:
-
-    ```bash
-    setenv load_dtb ext4load mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /boot/Image-r8a7796-m3ulcb.dtb
-    ```
-
-    * For machine m3ulcb with a kingfisher board:
-
-    ```bash
-    setenv load_dtb ext4load mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /boot/Image-r8a7796-m3ulcb-kf.dtb
-    ```
-
-    * For machine h3ulcb with a kingfisher board:
-
-    ```bash
-    setenv load_dtb ext4load mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /boot/Image-r8a7795-es1-h3ulcb-kf.dtb
-    ```
-
-    * Finally save boot environment:
-
-    ```bash
-    saveenv
-    ```
-
-* Now you can boot:
-
-```
-run bootcmd
-```
-
-### Console boot
-
-After booting, you should see the wayland display on the external monitor and a login prompt on the console, such as:
-
-* For machine h3ulcb:
-
-```bash
-Automotive Grade Linux ${AGL_VERSION} h3ulcb ttySC0
-
-h3ulcb login: root
-```
-
-* For machine m3ulcb:
-
-```bash
-Automotive Grade Linux ${AGL_VERSION} m3ulcb ttySC0
-
-m3ulcb login: root
-```
-
-Logging in on the console is easy:
-
-* login is 'root'
-* password is empty (not asked)
-
-### Network access
-
-If the board is connected to a local network using ethernet and if a DHCP server is able to distribute IP addresses,
-you can then determine the Gen3 board IP address and log in using ssh:
-
-```bash
-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

-4. **Customize your build 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.
-   In general, the defaults along with the configuration fragments the
-   `aglsetup.sh` script applies in that file are good enough.
-   However, you can customize aspects by editing the ``local.conf`` file.
-   See the
-   "[Customize AGL build](./customize_bitbake_conf.html)"
-   section for the location of the file and a list of common customizations.

-## Building the AGL Demo Platform for R-Car Starter Kit Gen3
+Start the build using the `bitbake` command.
 
-### Build your image
+**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.
 
-The process to build an image is simple:
+For this example, the target is "agl-demo-platform":
 
 ```bash
-bitbake agl-demo-platform
+  bitbake agl-demo-platform
 ```
 
-You may need to install rpcgen to run this command.
-
-When finished (it may take few hours), you should get the final result:
+The build process puts the resulting image in the Build Directory:

-**Note**:
+## 7. Booting the Image Using a MicroSD Card
 
-In case of failure of the build it is safe to first check that the Linux distribution chosen for your host has been validated for the current version of Yocto used by AGL.
+To boot your image on the Renesas board, you need to do three things:
 
-## 7. Booting the Image Using a MicroSD Card
+1. Update all firmware on the board.
+2. Prepare the MicroSD card to you can boot from it.
+3. Boot the board.
 
-To boot the board using a micro-SD card, there are two operations that must be done prior to first initial boot:
+**NOTE:** For subsequent builds, you only have to re-write the MicroSD
+card with a new image.
 
-* Update all firmware on the device.
-* Set up the board to boot on the SD-card.
+### Updating the Board's Firmware
 
-For each subsequent build you only need to rewrite the SD-card with the new image.
+Follow these steps to update the firmware:
 
-### Firmware Update
+1. **Update the Sample Loader and MiniMonitor:**
 
-This proceedure is done in two steps. The 'Sample Loader and MiniMonitor update' step only needs to be done once per device. The 'Firmware stack update' step is mandatory only if you use AGl Eel (version 5.0) or later.
+   You only need to make these updates one time per device.
 
-#### Sample Loader and MiniMonitor update
+   Follow the procedure found on the
+   [eLinux.org wiki][R-car loader update] to update to at least version 3.02,
+   which is mandatory to run the AGL image.
 
-Follow the documentation on the [eLinux.org wiki][R-car loader update] to update to at least version 3.02. This is mandatory to run AGL.
+2. **Update the Firmware Stack:**
 
-#### Firmware stack update
+   You only need to update the firmware stack if you are
+   using the Eel or later (5.0) version of AGL software.
 
-As an AArch64 platform, both **h3ulcb** and **m3ulcb** have a firmware stack divided in : **ARM Trusted Firmware**, **OP-Tee** and **U-Boot**.
+   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 use AGl Eel (version 5.0) or later, you must update the firmware using the following links to eLinux.org wiki: **[h3ulcb][R-car h3ulcb firmware update]** or **[m3ulcb][R-car m3ulcb firmware update]**.
+   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]**
+   or **[m3ulcb][R-car m3ulcb firmware update]** links from the
+   [Embedded Linux Wiki](https://www.elinux.org/Main_Page) (i.e. `elinux.org`).
 
-The files listed in the eLinux.org wiki table will be found in the directory:
+   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*
-```
+   ```bash
+   $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE

+### Preparing the MicroSD Card
 
-Plug the microSD card and get its associated device by either running *`dmesg | tail -15`* or *`lsblk`*, for example:
+Plug the MicroSD card into your Build Host.
+After plugging in the device, use the `dmesg` command as follows to

-In the example above, we see:
+To summarize this example so far, we have the following:
 
-* the first SATA drive as 'sda'.
-* 'sdc' corresponds to the microSD card, and is also marked as removable device by *lsblk* which is a good confirmation.
-* Your desktop system probably offers a choice to mount the SD-card automatically in some directory.
-* In the next sample code, we'll suppose that the SD-card mount directory is stored in the variable $SDCARD.
-* For example, if the microSD card is associated with device *sdc*:
+* 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.
 
-Go to your build directory:
+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.
 
-```bash
-cd $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE

+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.

+## 8. Setting Up the Serial Console
 
-## Serial Console Setup
+Setting up the Serial Console involves the following:
 
-### Install a serial client on your computer
+* 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
 
-This can be “screen”, “picocom”, “minicom”.
-The lighter of the 3 is “picocom” (it has less dependencies).
+### Installing a Serial Client on Your Build Host
 
-### Plug a USB cable from your computer to the serial CP2102 USB port (micro USB-A)
+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).
 
-With “dmesg” you can check the device created for the serial link.
-Usually, it's /dev/ttyUSB0 but the number may vary depending on other USB serial ports connected to the host.
-To get it, you must switch the board on.
-For example:
+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.
+
+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:
 
 ```bash
-dmesg | tail
