FlexBuild is a component-oriented lightweight build framework and integration platform with capabilities of flexible, ease-to-use, scalable system build and distro deployment.
With flex-builder, users can easily build linux, u-boot, atf and miscellaneous userspace applications (e.g. networking, graphics, multimedia, security, AI/ML) and customizable distro root filesystem to streamline the system build with efficient CI/CD.
With flex-installer, users can easily install various distro to target storage device (SD/eMMC card or USB/SATA disk) on target board or on host machine.
- Cross-build on x86 host machine running Ubuntu
- Native-build on ARM board running Ubuntu
- Build in Docker container hosted on any machine running any distro
- Ubuntu-based userland (main, desktop, devel, lite)
- Debian-based userland (main, desktop, devel, lite)
- CentOS-based userland (7.9.2009)
- Yocto-based userland (tiny, devel)
- Buildroot-based userland (tiny, devel)
-
iMX platform:
imx6qpsabresd, imx6qsabresd, imx6sllevk, imx7ulpevk, imx8mmevk, imx8mnevk, imx8mpevk,
imx8mqevk, imx8qmmek, imx8qxpmek, imx8ulpevk, etc -
Layerscape platform:
ls1012ardb, ls1012afrwy, ls1021atwr, ls1028ardb, ls1043ardb, ls1046ardb, ls1046afrwy,
ls1088ardb_pb, ls2088ardb, ls2160ardb_rev2, lx2162aqds, etc
$ cd flexbuild
$ source setup.env
$ bld -h
Usage: bld -m <machine>
or bld -i <instruction> -c <component> [-r <distro_type>:<distro_scale>] [-a <arch>] [-p <portfolio> ] [-f cfg-file]
Most used example with automated build:
bld -m imx8mpevk # automatically build all firmware, linux, apps components and distro userland for imx8mpevk
bld -m ls1046ardb # automatically build all firmware, linux, apps components and distro userland for ls1046ardb
bld -i auto -p IMX # automatically build all firmware, linux, apps components and distro userland for all arm64 i.MX machines
bld -i auto -p LS # automatically build all firmware, linux, apps components and distro userland for all arm64 Layerscape machines
Most used example with separate command:
bld -i mkfw -m imx8mpevk # generate composite firmware (including atf, u-boot, optee_os, kernel, dtb, initramfs, etc) for imx8mpevk
bld -i mkfw -m ls1046ardb # generate composite firmware (including atf, u-boot, optee_os, kernel, dtb, initramfs, etc) for ls1046ardb
bld -i mkallfw -p IMX|LS # generate composite firmware for all iMX or LS machines
bld -i mkrfs # generate Ubuntu-based main arm64 userland, equivalent to "bld -i mkrfs -r ubuntu:main -a arm64" by default
bld -i mkrfs -r ubuntu:desktop # generate Ubuntu-based desktop arm64 userland
bld -i mkrfs -r ubuntu:lite # generate Ubuntu-based lite arm64 userland
bld -i mkrfs -r debian:main # generate Debian-based main arm64 userland
bld -i mkrfs -r yocto:tiny # generate Yocto-based arm64 tiny userland
bld -i mkrfs -r buildroot:tiny # generate Buildroot-based arm64 tiny userland
bld -i mkrfs -r centos # generate CentOS-based arm64 userland
bld -i mkitb -r yocto:tiny # generate sdk_yocto_tiny_IMX_arm64.itb including kernel, DTBs and rootfs_yocto_tiny_arm64.cpio.gz
bld -c <component> # compile <component> or <subsystem> (e.g. linux, dpdk, xserver, networking, graphics, multimedia, security, eiq, etc)
bld -c linux # compile linux kernel for all arm64 machines, equivalent to "bld -i compile -c linux -p IMX -a arm64" by default
bld -c atf -m ls1046ardb -b sd # compile atf image for SD boot on LS1046ardb
bld -i mkboot -p IMX|LS # generate boot partition tarball (including kernel, dtb, modules, distro boot script, etc) for all iMX or LS machines
bld -i merge-component # merge component packages into target arm64 userland
bld docker # create or attach Ubuntu docker container to build in docker
bld list # list enabled machines and supported various components
