Software Compilation

Initialize the Compilation Environment of the CIX SDK​

Please execute the following commands in the root directory of the SDK to load the compilation tools and install the compilation dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
. ./build-scripts/envtool.sh
newer_env
sudo apt-get install python-is-python3 7zip meson apt-utils

Only at this time can you execute the following commands to download and extract the additional binary resources:

i=$((1))
get_cix_ext() {
    local block="$(printf "%03d" $1)"
    echo "https://github.com/radxa-pkg/cix-prebuilt/releases/download/$EX_CUSTOMER-$EX_PROJECT-$EX_VERSION/cix-sdk-ext.7z.$block"
}
while wget "$(get_cix_ext "$i")"; do
    i=$((i + 1))
done
7zz x cix-sdk-ext.7z.001
# Later system should use 7z instead of 7zz, as the command was renamed.
# Optionally, remove the downloaded files:
# rm cix-sdk-ext.7z.*

Now the system is ready for SDK compilation.

Common Commands and Compilation Targets​

The following commands can only be run after loading envtoo.sh:

  • help: Display the SDK command help.
  • build radxa: Compile all components and finally generate a runnable image.

Build Artifacts​

When the build radxa command is executed, you can find the following build artifacts:

  • output/cix_evb/images/linux-fs.sdcard: System image.
  • output/cix_evb/images/cix_debian.iso: The modified Debian installation ISO.
  • output/cix_evb/images/cix_flash_all_O6.bin: BIOS image.
