Installing Raspbian Lite on Raspberry pi3

-
Raspbian Lite is the operating system you want to choose, when you want to use sensors or web based applications on RaspberryPi.

Raspbian vs Raspbian Lite:

Raspbian lite is a minimal version of Raspbian. Following software/packages are removed from raspbian lite:

  • Wolfram
  • Libre Office
  • Xserver
It’s ideal if you intend to run the Raspberry Pi as a headless server without a GUI.

Download Raspbian Lite from the Raspberry Website:


To install, you can use various softwares. I am using etcher.

Connect the SD Card, and flash the image 




After flashing on the SD Card, connect it to the Raspberry Pi 3, connect Display over HDMI and power the device.

You will get a login screen. Login Details:
User name: pi, Password: raspberrypi


Complete Initial Setup without connecting monitor and keyboard

 1. Mount the SD Card and change directory to 'boot' volume.
2. Create wpa-supplicant.conf file with the following contents.

  • ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
  • network={
  • ssid="YOUR_NETWORK_NAME"
  • psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"
  • key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  • }
3. Create an empty file 'ssh' in the same folder to enable ssh.

4. Now you can login in to router page or follow this link to find out the IP Address of Raspberry Pi3

5. ssh pi@<ipaddress>

bb.utils.contains yocto

bb.utils.contains  is most commonly used function in Yocto. grep in poky directory returned with 696 count. $ grep -nr 'bb.utils.contains' poky/ | wc -l 696 It's definition is present in 'poky/bitbake/lib/bb/utils.py' file This function returns third argument if the second argument is subset of the first argument else returns fourth argument Let's take an example to understand this. You can see from the above screenshot, when the second argument is a subset of first argument, "present" was returned, else "notpresent" was returned We can also use bb.utils.contains inside if loop. This we can use inside a recipe. if ${@bb.utils.contains('SOMEFLAG','NEWVALUE3','true','false',d)}; then     FOO = 'HELLO' fi

Difference between RDEPENDS and DEPENDS in Yocto

-
We normally observe these two (RDEPENDS and DEPENDS) whenever we open any recipe. What should we choose when we write our own recipe. DEPENDS -> Build Time Dependency RDEPENDS -> Run Time Dependency DEPENDS: When a recipe 'A' is DEPENDS on recipe 'B'. In this case, Bitbake first builds recipe 'B' and then recipe 'A' E.g. You need 'dbus' to be built before 'wpa_supplicant'. RDEPENDS: When a recipe 'A' is RDEPENDS on recipe 'B'. In this case, Bitbake deploys 'B' on the target system when it deploys 'A'.  E.g. 'perf' RDEPENDS on 'bash' In other words, DEPENDS are those set of packages that should be available while building package, whereas RDEPENDS are set of packages that should be available during execution of the program.

Building the Linux Kernel is a two-step process: Configuring the Kernel options Building the Kernel with those options. There are many methods available for configuring the kernel. make config: Text-based Configuration.  Options are prompted one after another. All options need to be answered Access to former options is not possible make menuconfig: Menu-driven user interface Allows to navigate forwards and backward directly between features Allows to load and save files with filenames different from ".config" Provides search feature It uses ncurses library for GUI. If the ncurses library is not installed, make menuconfig option fails. To install ncurses library on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev make defconfig: Creates a ".config" file with default options from the ARCH supplied defconfig Configurations are generally stored in the directory: arch/$(ARCH)/configs $ ls arch/x86/configs/ i386_defconfi
