Yocto QEMU UNFS test procedure
Steps to run the NFS test case for all qemu machines
1. Have a clone of poky
$ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
2. Checkout the correct hash.
$ git checkout and/or $ git log
3. Download the "kernel" file (<ZIMAGE>.bin) and the image compressed file (<IMAGE NAME>.tar.bz2) from autobilder link.
1. Open a terminal and place in poky/ directory.
$ cd $PATH/poky
2. Source the environment:
$ source oe-init-build-env build
$ MACHINE=<MACHINE_TESTED> on conf/local.conf
4. Place the downloaded kernel (<ZIMAGE>.bin) and the <IMAGE NAME>.tar.bz2 file after "build" directory, something like "/home/<YOURUSER>/poky/build/tmp/deploy/images/qemu<MACHINE>/"
Note 1: First you need to create manually those directories in your system.
a) In poky directory create tmp directory (~/poky/build$ mkdir tmp
); b) Then access to tpm ($ cd tmp
); c) Create deploy directory ($ mkdir deploy
); d) Access to deploy directory ($ cd deploy
); e) Create images directory ($ mkdir images
); f) Access to images directory ( $ cd images
); g) create your qemu folder, for example if you are testing qemux86 ($ mkdir qemux86
); h) Access your qemu folder, for instance to qemux86 directory ( $ cd qemux86
)
Note 2: you can avoid to download and copy here the files and directly download in this path, typing in this path the following command:
$ wget /<WEB_ADRESS_OF_THE_KERNEL_IMAGE>/<ZIMAGE>.bin
$ wget /<WEB_ADRESS_OF_THE_IMAGE>/<IMAGE NAME>.tar.bz2
5. Go to build directory:
$ cd /home/<YOURUSER>/poky/build
6. Extract the SDK, typing in a terminal the following command:
$ runqemu-extract-sdk tmp/deploy/images/qemux<MACHINE>/<IMAGE NAME>.tar.bz2 rootfs
Note 3: "rootfs" is referring to a directory going to be created, you can choose any name as you want.
Note 4: is it possible that the system will ask you to bitbake the system first. If so, then type in the terminal $ bitbake meta-ide-support
(This process would take a while). Then type again in a terminal: $ runqemu-extract-sdk tpm/deploy/images/qemux<MACHINE>/<IMAGE NAME>.tar.bz2 rootfs
7. Start the qemu machine with NFS:
$ runqemu nfs tmp/deploy/images/qemux<MACHINE>/<ZIMAGE>.bin rootfs
qemu machine should be launch after this command.
Note 5:if you get the error:
====================================================================================================
Error: neither rpcbind nor portmap appear to be running Please install and start one of these services first
====================================================================================================
for recent Ubuntu hosts, run: $sudo apt-get install rpcbind for Fedora: $ sudo dnf install rpcbind
Then add OPTIONS="-i -w" to the configuration file into Ubuntu machines: /etc/default/rpcbind or Fedora machines: /etc/sysconfig/rpcbind and run
Ubuntu: sudo service portmap restart Fedora: sudo systemctl restart rpcbind
and run again step 7.
8. Finally, from qemu open a terminal and type
$ poweroff
to exit.
