Build ECI

This section explains the procedure to build ECI custom images from source or to rebuild all or any the ECI Deb packages.

Setup Build Dependencies

Before setting up the Linux* build system, make sure that:

• The Linux build system meets the recommended system requirements.

• Docker* (version 19.03.15 or higher) is installed and the user is part of the docker group. For information on installing and configuring Docker, refer to the following:

  • Install Docker

  • Manage Docker as a non-root user

Note: If you are behind a proxy, make sure that you set the following environment variables: HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY.

The section is applicable to:

Do the following to set up a Linux build system:

1. Use the Intel edgesoftware utility to download the ECI release archive, if not done already.

2. Copy the eci-release.tar.gz archive from the ECI release archive (release-eci_#.#.zip) to the Linux build system. Make sure that there are no spaces in the directory path. For example, copy the archive to ~/Desktop. The eci-release.tar.gz archive is located in the ECI release archive within the Edge-Controls-for-Industrial directory as follows:

   └── Edge-Controls-for-Industrial
       ├── Codesys_Example_Applications.zip
       ├── Dockerfiles.tar.gz
       └── eci-release.tar.gz
   

3. Extract the archive. In Ubuntu, right-click the archive and select Extract Here.

   

   The directory contents should be similar to the following:

   

4. Navigate to the extracted eci-release directory.

   

5. Open a terminal to the eci-release directory. In Ubuntu, right-click anywhere in the directory explorer and select Open in Terminal.

   

6. At the terminal prompt, run the provided setup script without any parameters:

   $ ./setup.sh
   

   

7. If you are running the script for the first time, the script will prompt whether you want to check for missing dependencies: Would you like to verify that all dependencies are met? [Y/n]. Press Enter to check the build system for missing dependencies.

   

   The script will display the build dependencies, if any. When prompted, press the Enter or Y key to install any missing dependencies.

   

   The script will notify the issues, if any. The following are some of the common issues. Click the links for resolutions:

   • Ensure Docker Engine is installed and running

   • Current user is not part of the Docker Group

   • Docker Daemon cannot reach the registry

   • Filename length test failed

   The script will then prepare a container image. This container image will be used whenever you build ECI images or Deb packages.

   

   After the dependencies are installed and prepared, you will see a confirmation message that the dependency check is complete.

   

At this point, the setup script will exit.

Build ECI Targets

The section is applicable to:

Do the following to build ECI targets:

1. Open a terminal to the eci-release directory. In Ubuntu, right-click the empty space in the directory explorer and select Open in Terminal.

   

2. At the terminal prompt, rerun the setup script without any parameters:

   $ ./setup.sh
   

   

3. A menu will display the available ECI targets. Select an ECI target to build.

   

   The following table lists the available ECI targets.

   The next step is to build a target. Click a target link from the following table for instructions on building the target:

   Target	Description	Distribution	Linux Kernel Version
   core-bullseye	Installation image - Minimal build of Debian 11 (Bullseye) with the ECI Linux Intel LTS PREEMPT_RT kernel and latest Intel firmware already installed and boot parameters already configured	Debian 11 (Bullseye)	v5.10.140-rt73
   core-jammy	Installation image - Minimal build of Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) with the ECI Linux Intel LTS PREEMPT_RT kernel and latest Intel firmware already installed and boot parameters already configured	Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)	5.15.49-rt47
   legacy-poky-acrn	Installation image - Legacy build of core-image-minimal with ACRN Hypervisor and VM launch scripts Note: Can be configured at build time to modify install features.	Yocto 4.0 (Kirkstone)	v5.10.140
   legacy-poky-zephyr-ehl	Installation image - Legacy build of core-image-minimal with Zephyr OS Note: Can be configured at build time to modify install features.	Yocto 4.0 (Kirkstone)	N/A
   packages-bullseye	ECI packages - Builds all ECI Deb packages for Debian 11 (Bullseye)	Debian 11 (Bullseye)	Multiple Linux kernels
   packages-jammy	ECI packages - Builds all ECI Deb packages for Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)	Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)	Multiple Linux kernels
