+# 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)
+
+For more information and latest news, please check :
+
+* [elinux page for h3ulcb][R-car h3ulcb]
+* [elinux page for m3ulcb][R-car m3ulcb]
+* [elinux page for salvator-x][R-car salvator-x]
+
+Infotainment Carrier Board :
+
+* [elinux page for Kingfisher][R-car Kingfisher]
+
+**Note**:That the Salvator-X has NDA restrictions, so less documentation is available both here and elsewhere.
+
+The following documents may also be helpful:
+
+* [Yocto-Gen3 on elinux][R-car yocto]
+
+## 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

+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
+[snip]

+<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
+```
+

+
+### 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

+ inet 10.0.0.27/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global eth0
+ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+root@m3ulcb:~#
+```
+
+Here, IP address is 10.0.0.27. Logging in using SSH is easy:
+
+```bash
+$ ssh root@10.0.0.27
+Last login: Tue Dec 6 10:01:11 2016 from 10.0.0.13

+# Running AGL on Intel MinnowBoard (and most Intel 64 bits HW)
+
+## Scope
+
+This documentation is aiming at people who want to run Automotive Grade
+Linux (AGL) on Intel Hardware (HW).
+While the reference HW used by AGL project is the Open Source MinnowBoard, this documentation [MinnowBoard wiki](https://minnowboard.org/) can be used to enable most of 64-bit Intel Architecture (IA) platforms using UEFI as boot loader.
+In addition to the MinnowBoard, support for the [upCore & UpSquared boards](http://www.up-board.org/upsquared/) has been added.
+You need to run the 64-bit version of the UEFI bootloader.
+MinnowBoard Max and Turbot as well as Joule are both 64-bit capable.
+
+**Note**: This page is more focused on those who want to create bespoke AGL images and BSPs.
+
+If you are interested in creating ***applications*** to run on AGL, please visit the [Developing Apps for AGL](https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro/developer_resources_intel_apps) documentation.
+
+UEFI has evolved a lot recently and you likely want to check that your HW firmware is up-to-date, this is mandatory for both the MinnowBoard-Max and the Joule. Not required on Minnowboard-Turbo and Up boards.
+
+[`https://firmware.intel.com/projects/minnowboard-max`](https://firmware.intel.com/projects/minnowboard-max)
+[`https://software.intel.com/en-us/flashing-the-bios-on-joule`](https://software.intel.com/en-us/flashing-the-bios-on-joule)
+
+## Where to find an AGL bootable image
+
+### Download a ready made image
+
+AGL provides ready made images for developers.
+You will find them on [AGL Download web site](https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release)
+image are located in YourPreferedRelease/intel-corei7-64/deploy/images/intel-corei7-64/
+Create a bootable SD card with the script [mkefi-agl.sh](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=AGL/meta-agl.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/mkefi-agl.sh;hb=HEAD)
+check the available options with the -v option. mkefi-agl.sh -v
+
+### Building an AGL image from scratch using Yocto
+
+**Note**: an alternative method for building an image is to use the AGL SDK delivered in a Docker container.
+
+There is currently no SDK dedicated to IA but the SDK provided for the Porter Board can build an IA image without changes (just `aglsetup.sh` needs to call for Intel).
+
+See chapter 2 of [Porter QuickStart](http://iot.bzh/download/public/2016/sdk/AGL-Kickstart-on-Renesas-Porter-board.pdf "wikilink").
+
+#### Download AGL source code
+
+Downloading the AGL sources from the various Git repositories is automated with the `repo` tool. Basic steps to download the AGL source code is described below and for more advanced topics involving the `repo` tool, please refer to the [`repo` documentation](https://source.android.com/source/using-repo.html "wikilink").
+
+To install the `repo` tool:
+
+```bash
+ mkdir -p ~/bin;
+ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH;
+ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo;
+ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo;
+```
+
+#### Configuring for the current *(older)* stable (Electric Eel 5.0.x)
+
+```bash
+ cd AGL-5.0.x;
+ repo init -b eel -m default.xml -u https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/AGL-repo
+```
+
+#### Configuring for master (DD)
+
+```bash
+ cd AGL-master;
+ repo init -u https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/AGL-repo;
+```
+
+Once that you repo is initialised either with the stable or WIP, you need to sync the repo to fetch the various git trees.
+
+#### Downloading the configured AGL source code
+
+```bash
+ repo sync;
+```
+
+#### Building the AGL distro
+
+You are now ready to initialise your Yocto build.
+When running the command:
+
+```bash
+ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -h
+```
+
+You will notice the Intel entries
+
+```bash
+ intel-corei7-64
+ joule
+```
+
+Simply select that entry to replace porter in the -m option.
+**Note:** agl-netboot option is required to create the right initramfs even if you do not boot from a network
+
+```bash
+ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh \
+ -m intel-corei7-64 \
+ -b build \
+ agl-devel agl-demo agl-appfw-smack agl-netboot agl-audio-4a-framework
+```
+
+**Note:** use the option "-m joule" when building for a Joule developer Kit target.
+
+Start the build **This can take several hours depending of your CPU and
+internet connection and will required several GB on /tmp as well as on your build directory**
+
+```bash
+ bitbake agl-demo-platform
+```
+
+**Your newly baked disk image (.wic.xz) will be located at**:
+ `tmp/deploy/images/intel-corei7-64/`
+
+##### Alternative: Download a *ready made* image from AGL web site
+
+The Continuous Integration (CI) process from AGL creates and publish daily and stable builds.
+Pointers to both can be found in [AGL supported HW](https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro) (see Reference BSP/Intel).
+
+Once you have validated your process you can start to play/work with the snapshot pointer.
+
+Note that snapshot build may not work.
+
+Follow the directory:
+
+`intel-corei7-64/deploy/images/intel-corei7-64/`
+
+and download the file:
+
+`agl-demo-platform-intel-corei7-64.hddimg`
+
+## Create a bootable media
+
+Depending your target HW you will use an USB stick, an SD card or a HDD/SDD.
+The creation process remains the same independently of the selected support.
+It does require to have access to a Linux machine with `sudo` or root password.
+
+### Insert you removable media in the corresponding interface
+
+### Check the device name where the media can be accessed with the command
+
+```bash
+ lsblk
+ # Note that you want the name of the raw device not of a partition on the media
+ #(eg. /dev/sdc or /dev/mmcblk0)
+```
+
+### Download the script `mkefi-agl.sh`
+
+This script is present in the directory meta-agl/scripts from blowfish 2.0.4 : [mkefi-agl.sh](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=AGL/meta-agl.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/mkefi-agl.sh;hb=HEAD)
+
+Alternatively you can download it from the following Git repo:
+
+[https://github.com/dominig/mkefi-agl.sh](https://github.com/dominig/mkefi-agl.sh)
+
+### check the available options
+
+```bash
+ sh mkefi-agl.sh -v;
+```
+
+### create your media with the command adjusted to your configuration
+
+```bash
+ sudo sh mkefi-agl.sh MyAglImage.hdd /dev/sdX
+ #/dev/sdX is common for USB stick, /dev/mmcblk0 for laptop integrated SD card reader
+```
+
+## Boot the image on the target device
+
+1. Insert the created media with the AGL image in the target device
+
+1. Power on the device
+
+1. Select Change one off boot option (generally F12 key during power up)
+
+1. Select your removable device
+
+1. Let AGL boot
+
+**Note:**: depending on the speed of the removable media, the first boot may not complete, in that case simply reboot the device.
+
+This is quite common with USB2 sticks.
+
+By default the serial console is configured and activated at the rate of 115200 bps.
