• Current packages:

elphel393.bb:
IMAGE_INSTALL = "packagegroup-core-boot python-core ${ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE_BOOTSTRAP} ${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL}"

• Also works:

elphel393.bb:
IMAGE_INSTALL = "packagegroup-core-boot ${ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE_BOOTSTRAP} ${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL}"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "python-core"

• Why python-core and not just python?
  • poky/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-2.7-manifest.inc has a list in PACKAGES items from which should go into IMAGE_INSTALL
  • Among all there's no python in the PACKAGES list.
  • Does hob install all the PACKAGES if python is checked? Haven't tried, also the used hob version doesn't support saving recipes.
• (Is there a better solution?) Adding packages : apache2, php, i2c-tools, mtd-utils, steps:
  • Clone meta-oe from OpenEmbedded:

git clone -b dylan https://github.com/openembedded/meta-oe.git

• • Lines to bblayers.conf:

   <absolute-path>/meta-oe/meta-oe \
   <absolute-path>/poky/meta-oe/meta-perl \
   <absolute-path>/poky/meta-oe/meta-webserver \

• • elphel393.bb (some discussions mention the leading space is mandatory but somehow it works even without it):

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "<mandatory space?>python-core \
                       i2c-tools \
                       mtd-utils \
                       net-tools \
                       modphp \
                       apache2 \
                       php-cli"

• • Why php-cli and not just php?

meta-oe/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/php/php.inc:
PACKAGES = "${PN}-dbg ${PN}-cli ${PN}-cgi ${PN}-fpm ${PN}-fpm-apache2 ${PN}-pear ${PN}-dev ${PN}-staticdev ${PN}-doc ${PN}"

• • • PACKAGES includes php. What is installed? (No php-cli: missing /usr/bin/php) Didn't investigate.
    • What does hob build if php is checked? Didn't test.
    • Using php-cli installs php in the /usr/bin/. Tested.
    • Using php-cli increases the unpacked image size from ~16MB to ~50MB.
  • To fix the ERROR="Could not inherit file classes/vala.bbclass" in bitbake copy vala.bbclass from oe-core? or delete the conflicting recipes (2?)?
  • To fix the ERROR="Failed to parse krb5_1.11.3.bb" in bitbake delete the directory meta-oe/meta-oe/recipes-connectivity/krb5

U-boot and device tree related notes

• The default UNPACKED ramdisk max size for zynq is 16MB - once it gets bigger you get KERNEL PANIC - the solution is modifying the device tree - then recompile into DTB:

*.dts, add to bootargs parameter ramdisk_size=32768 (takes KB), example:
bootargs = "console=ttyPS0,115200 root=/dev/ram rw ip=192.168.1.10 earlyprintk ramdisk_size=32768";

• The default COMPRESSED ramdisk max size for zynq is 10MB set in u-boot - change according to your needs, example:

zynq_zed.h:
"sdboot=echo Copying Linux from SD to RAM... && " \
               "mmcinfo && " \
               "fatload mmc 0 0x3000000 ${kernel_image} && " \
               "fatload mmc 0 0x2A00000 ${devicetree_image} && " \
               "fatload mmc 0 0x2000000 ${ramdisk_image} && " \
               "bootm 0x3000000 0x2000000 0x2A00000\0" \

So, the max sizes:
compressed ramdisk    = 0x2A00000 - 0x2000000 = 0xA00000 = 10MB
devicetree = 0x3000000 - 0x2A00000 = 0x600000 = 6MB
