-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.
-
- **NOTE:** For detailed explanations of the configurations you can make
- in the ``local.conf`` file, consult the

+
+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:
-* 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.

-## 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:

+## 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:

-The Salvator-X firmware update process is not documented on eLinux.
+ **NOTE:** The Salvator-X firmware update process is not documented on eLinux.
-### Prepare the SD-card on the host
+### 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
+discover the device name:

+**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

-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

-## 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:
