About The Project

product-screenshot

The Dianshao is an embedded linux project build and compile tool, it is developed based on Bitbake and Yocto project. It can lower the threshold of using Bitbake and provide an interactive web UI to enhance the experience of using Bitbake

Here is why:

  • Many developers are not interested in embedded bottom-level porting and development, and hope to focus on application development

  • Embedded projects are too scattered, and there is no good management tool to help developers manage their projects in a elegant way

  • Bitbake is an awesome project, but his learning curve is steep and not easy to use. So I developed dianshao to help developers use bitbake more easily

Built With

Dianshao is mainly developed based on Django framework, it operates bitbake through asynchronous task queue supported by Celery + Redis and uses Postgresql as database.

For reliable and rapid deployment, Dianshao and related dependencies run in the docker containers

Getting Started

Since the program runs in a docker container, installation is pretty easy

Prerequisites

Currently, the Dinashao has been tested on windows (Win10 & Win11) and linux (Ubuntu & Fedora & centos) host. You can choose you preferred operating system as the docker host

Please Install docker & docker-compose on your host according to the official documentation

docker install doc

docker-compose install doc

Installation

  1. Clone the repo

    Using on Linux

    $ git clone https://github.com/croakexciting/dianshao.git && cd ./dianshao

    Using on Windows

    $ git clone https://github.com/croakexciting/dianshao.git -c core.autocrlf=false
    
    $ cd ./dianshao
  2. Set Your Yocto Project Path

    $ export DIANSHAO_YOCTO_PROJECT_PATH="your yocto project path"

    notes:If using on Linux, please don't use dianshao in root and make sure the folder permissions is 1000:1000

    $ sudo chown -R 1000:1000 $DIANSHAO_YOCTO_PROJECT_PATH

    notes:If using on windows, please enable the folder case sensitive option

    $ fsutil.exe file setCaseSensitiveInfo $DIANSHAO_YOCTO_PROJECT_PATH enable
  3. Docker Image build

    $ sudo docker-compose build
  4. Docker Container up

    $ sudo docker-compose up

(back to top)

Usage

In general, the dianshao is an extension of Bitbake, which aims to help developers to develop yocto projects more conveniently.

If you are familiar with yocto, you will master dianshao quickly. If you are a beginner, it doesn’t matter, Dianshao will help you quickly understand and learn to develop yocto projects

Quick Start

  1. Create a new yocto project

    Enter your project name and version, then click button

    create-project-screenshot

    Wait for the project initialization to complete, it may take some time

    project-initial-screenshot

    If the initialization is successful, the page is as follow success-initial-screenshot

  2. Add other layers you need

    The initialized project only contains the core layer, if you need to add other layers, please click Add Therd-Party MetaLayer button

    Enter the layer name and choose the import method, the remote means that the git repo does not exist in the main directory, and the local means the opposite. If you choose remote, you need to input layer url. the sub means that the layer you want to import is located in a subdirectory of a git repo, such as meta-openembedded/meta-oe/.

    addlayer-screenshot

    Wait for the process to complete, and you will find the layer now is in the list

    after-addlayer-screenshot

  3. Test bitbake

    You can bitbake anything in bitbake command page, you can use this page to test how to operate bitbake. The current UI is not good enough, I will continue to optimize it

    bitbake-test-screenshot

Develop MyMeta

Danshao provides a range of tools to help you develop your own embedded projects, including customizing your device, your images, and packages that you develop yourself or want to introduce additionally

Danshao achieves the above functions by helping you to automatically generate yocto bbfiles, machine, distro and imagefiles. See the documentation (coming soon) for specific instructions

Open your yocto project in IDE

The yocto project generate by dianshao is located at ./yocto_project, you can open the yocto project in IDE as normal

Development in the command line

If you want to execute the bitbake command directly using the command line, Please use the following command to enter inside the container, and then use the command line

$ docker exec -it dianshao-yocto bash
$ cd ../yocto

(back to top)

Roadmap

  • Bitbake progress ui optimization
  • Git clone task restart after failed
  • MyImage
    • Image build tools
    • Image OTA support
  • MyPakcage
    • System-V support
