2 Getting started The setup process described in this section allows you to quickly get up and running with your development board using Ethernet over USB and a console through FTDI chip UART: Ensure that the development board is not connected to a power source.
2.1 Jumper configuration 1. Set the jumper on JP4 between pin 1 and 5. This selects 5V0 regulated as the power source for ELIN-W1. 2. Set the jumper on JP6 between pin 1 and 2. This disables the UART0 DSUB transceiver, which could cause interference with the FTDI chip. 3. Set three jumpers between pins on JP7 and JP8 between pairs of pins: JP7.19 - JP8.20, JP7.15 - JP8.16, and JP7.9 - JP8.10. This enables the UART1 transceiver on the DSUB J24 and connects RXD and TXD to the DSUB connector. 4. Set the jumper on JP12 between pin 1 and 2. This sets 3.3 V to the Ethernet PHYs.
Figure 4: EVK-W16 jumper configuration
5. Connect a regulated power supply to the J16.

2.2 GPIO LED overview 6. Turn on the power supply and turn on the power switch (SW8). The LED LD17 lights up to indicate power to the board while the LED LD20 lights up to indicate power to the ELIN-W160 module. 7. Connect a USB cable to the FTDI chip. The LED LD18 will indicate USB Voltage.
Figure 5: EVK-W16 GPIO LED overview
8. Press PWR TGL (SW11) to start the OEM Module. Your OS should detect the FTDI chip and provide 4 UARTs. Connect to the console. The FTDI chip has four channels and the console is on the third. a. 115200 8N1 b. No hardware handshake // On HOST PC $ minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB2
9. You can see that the module boots first the u-boot and then boots the kernel into user space. 10. You can now login as root and no password is required by default.

4 Factory restore If a unit is not booting properly, the device can be restored to factory settings using the procedure mentioned in section 4.1. To update the bootloader, contact u-blox support.
4.1 USB Device firmware upgrade The USB DFU standard allows downloading of the firmware through a standardized protocol over USB. To reflash the ELIN-W160 with new firmware, you can upgrade the whole system by reflashing the NAND. Reboot target and break the boot sequence when you see U-Boot. Retrieve the firmware bundle for the ELIN-W160 and unpack in the firmware folder: git clone [email protected]:u-blox/elin-w16-releases.git In the release repository, you have scripts for automating the firmware download to target. / └── elin-w16-releases/ ├── elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0.tar.bz2 ├── README └── utils └──elin-w16-flashload.sh
The script elin-w16-flashload.sh depends on dfu-util to be installed on the host. $ sudo apt-get install dfu-util
The scripts are matched to the firmware from u-blox EVK though it can be easily changed to match other images. Power off the module and connect the board with a USB micro into the USB0 interface on your PC and the FTDI chip to your PC. $ tar -xjvf elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0.tar.bz2 elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0/ elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0/u-boot-spl.bin elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0/core-image-ublox-dev-elin-w160-evk.manifest elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0/zImage-am335x-elin-w160-evk.dtb elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0/u-boot.img elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0/zImage elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0/core-image-ublox-dev-elin-w160-evk.ubi elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0/MLO elin-w160-evk-v2.0.0.0/modules-elin-w160-evk.tgz
$ cd utils
When you see the U-Boot loading, abort the boot sequence. In U-Boot prompt, clear the NAND flash to prepare for firmware upgrade. This erases the UBI erase counters and is recommended only during development or when a unit is bricked.

5 Build and install package The Yocto provides a package manager, which allows for upgrade of existing programs and user space applications. While building the target images, Yocto also generates the packages that can be downloaded to the target through the package manager. The default package manager on the ELIN-W160 is OPKG package manager. You can easily setup a local package server using Apache through a few configuration steps or you can setup a NFS folder.
5.1 Package server On your development machine, install Apache2 and create repo: $ sudo apt-get install apache2
Add the following section to your apache2 configuration script in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Replace the path /home/username/projects/ublox-tools/yocto/poky/tmp/deploy/ipk
To match with your yocto directory Alias /ipk /home/username/projects/ublox-tools/yocto/poky/tmp/deploy/ipk Options +Indexes
On some systems, you might have to add permissions to the directory for it to be accessible. The following code grants access to the folder. See the Apache2 documentation for more information. Alias /ipk /home/username/projects/ublox-tools/yocto/poky/tmp/deploy/ipk Order Allow,Deny Allow from all Require all granted Options +Indexes
To restart apache: # service apache2 restart
Or # sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
In the bitbake folder, update the package index: $ bitbake package-index
You now have a package server that contains the latest build packages from your Yocto build directory. To set up the target to sync with the server, OPKG must be configured with the server location and ipk channels. Add your PC:s USB ip address to the OPKG base feeds. # echo 'src/gz ublox http://192.168.1.1/ipk/armv7a-vfp-neon' > /etc/opkg/ublox-base.conf UBX-15017061 - R02

6 Overview of Yocto meta layers The software framework on which Yocto is based on is OpenEmbedded Core and it consists of several different layers.
Figure 6: Meta layer stack on Yocto
The ELIN-W160 provides all layers up to the application layer. The dependency is resolved in the setup script provided in the ublox-tools repository. For detailed information regarding the meta-layers, see the Yocto project documentation. See the below-mentioned sections for information on how the layers relate to each other.
6.1 Developer layer At the top level, the developer may add his/her own configuration of applications and required tools to make the build match his/her requirements.
6.2 Application layer This is the layer which the applications, packages and policies for the end product are defined.
6.3 u-blox layers u-blox provides the following two layers:
meta-ublox o Hardware specific layer for mandatory packages and configuration o Do not override or modify as it might void warranty and regulatory requirements. meta-ublox-extras o Example configuration of applications and tools for running the ELIN-W16 o Provides the default interfaces

The recipes-bsp layer contains hardware specific recipes for u-boot and radio configuration. The radio directories (calibrator, ti-bt-firmware, ublox-eeprom-parser) should not be altered as they are a part of the regulatory compliance. Any modification to these layers might void the u-blox warranty and breaks the regulatory requirements. The U-Boot layer can be updated but should be done with great care as it can brick your device thus requiring a factory reset.
6.3.2 meta-ublox-extras Layer The meta-ublox-extras layer contains several applications for evaluating the performance and possibilities of the ELIN-W160 platform. The conf/distro folder contains information regarding the policies for the distribution. The distribution features and the machine feature will be matched to determine the packages that will be installed. For more information, see the Yocto project documentation. UBX-15017061 - R02

EVK-W16 - User Guide The following programs and packages are installed on the target: AVAHI mDNS Bluez5 + hcidump uDHCP daemon bash hostapd bridge-utilsiperf Hiawatha web server tcpdump procps ppp socat The layer also includes following configuration settings:
Network setup fstab for mounting file systems o Used by USB gadget to populate Ethernet-Over-USB and USB to Serial BusyBox config USB gadget drivers
6.3.3 Yocto, OpenEmbedded, and TI layers The Yocto, OpenEmbedded, and TI layers contain the key information on which the u-blox layers are created upon. The u-blox layers require a specific revision of the layers and are managed by the setup script.
6.4 Working with the meta layers Sometimes, it is necessary to modify or override the settings in a layer. The default way to modify the layers is by creating an override layer with a high priority. Bitbake will parse all layers specified in the bblayers.conf and resolve the dependencies and priorities.
6.4.1 Creating a new meta layer Yocto provides a script that assists in creating new meta layers. Goto the poky directory and source the ublox-init-build-env file and then start the Yocto layer setup script. Choose default priority and create an example recipe named bar. Skip creating a bbappend file. $ cd poky $ source ublox-init-build-env $ cd .. $ yocto-layer create foobar yocto-layer create foobar Please enter the layer priority you'd like to use for the layer: [default: 6] 6 Would you like to have an example recipe created? (y/n) [default: n] y Please enter the name you'd like to use for your example recipe: [default: example] bar Would you like to have an example bbappend file created? (y/n) [default: n] n New layer created in meta-foobar. Don't forget to add it to your BBLAYERS (for details see meta-foobar\README).

The configuration file for the new meta layer is created by the script. The script also adds a hello_world example program and a bitbake recipe to build the program. $ cat meta-foobar/recipes-example/example/bar_0.1.bb # # This file was derived from the 'Hello World!' example recipe in the # Yocto Project Development Manual. # DESCRIPTION = "Simple helloworld application" SECTION = "examples" LICENSE = "MIT" LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT;md5=0835ade698e0bcf8506ecda2f7b4f302" PR = "r0" SRC_URI = "file://helloworld.c" S = "${WORKDIR}" do_compile() { ${CC} helloworld.c -o helloworld } do_install() { install -d ${D}${bindir} install -m 0755 helloworld ${D}${bindir} }

$ cat meta-foobar/recipes-example/example/bar-0.1/helloworld.c #include int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("Hello World!\n"); return 0; }
To build the new recipe, add the meta layer to the bblayers.conf: $ vi build/conf/bblayers.conf # LAYER_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf # changes incompatibly LCONF_VERSION = "6" BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}" BBFILES ?= "" BBLAYERS ?= " \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta-yocto \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta-ti \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta-openembedded/meta-webserver \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta-ublox \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta-ublox-extras \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta-foobar \
# << Add me
" BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE ?= " \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta \ /home/martin/projects/yocto/poky/meta-yocto \ "
To build the program run: $ source ublox-init-build-env $ bitbake bar
Yocto will now index the new meta layer, find the bar recipe, and build the application. It is not included in the final image though as it was not listed to be included. To add the program to the image, you need to add it to the default image.
6.4.2 Overriding or modifying a meta layer or an image To add a new application to the image, you can use overrides or modify an existing layer. If you are not the maintainer of the layer, you should use an override layer. To add the application bar from the example specified in the previous chapter, create and bbappend recipe to include the application in the final image.
