+bitbake agl-demo-platform +``` +Once done, what may take up to few hours, you should get the end result in the directory: +``` +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 version 2.1 of Yocto. + +# Booting AGL Demo Platform on R-Car Starter Kit gen 3 using a micro-SD card +To boot the board using a micro-SD card, there are two operations that should be done prior to first initial boot: +* Create a SD-card with one ext3 partition, +* Set up the board to boot on the SD-card. + +Then for each build, the SD-card is merely rewritten and used to boot the configured board. +## Deployment + +### Format the SD-card on the host + +* Plug microSD card and get its associated device by either running *dmesg | tail -15* or *lsblk*, for example: + +``` +dmesg | tail -15 + + [ 1971.462160] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 + [ 1971.462277]

+* In the **example** above, 'sdc' corresponds to the microSD card.* + +### Format the SD-card +* Create EXT3 partition on the SD-card using fdisk and set the MBR. + * For **example**, if the microSD

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 **example** the microSD card is associated with device *sdc*: + +``` +export SDCARD=/tmp/agl +mkdir -p $SDCARD +sudo mount /dev/sdc1 $SDCARD +``` + +Go to your build directory: + +``` +cd

+TAR=$(which tar) +``` +Otherwise, a native up-to-date version of tar is also generated while building AGL distribution: +``` +TAR=$AGL_TOP/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/tar-native/tar +$TAR
