This is the branch for mLinux >= 6.0.0
mLinux - MultiTech Linux for MultiConnect Conduit gateways
============================================================
mLinux is a distribution provided by MultiTech tailored for the
MultiConnect Conduit products (MTCDT models).
mLinux utilizes OpenEmbedded-Core, Bitbake, which are part of the Yocto Project.
For more information about mLinux, see http://www.multitech.net
For more information about the Yocto Project, see http://www.yoctoproject.org
For more information about OpenEmbedded, see http://www.openembedded.org
This branch is based on Yocto Thud. Atmel devices use kernel Linux-AT91 4.9.
It is no longer safe to assume MTCDT for the MACHINE type. All builds
now require the external variable MACHINE to be set.
Building MTCDTIP2 requires:
MACHINE=mtcap
-------------------------
BUILDING
-------------------------
All version between 5.1 and 5.3.0a inclusive have
cellular issues with modems becoming disabled
due to COPS=2 set more or less permanently
on rare occassions.
Version 5.3.0a through 5.3.0c have issues with git
trying to access unreachable repositories. The
recommended version after 5.0.x is 5.3.0d.
Note that mLinux should *not* be built as root and you will need full write
permissions to the build directory structure. It is recommended to build
the software inside your $HOME dir as a normal user.
1. Build from tarball
tar xzf mLinux-3.0.0.tar.gz
cd mlinux-3.0.0
# install needed dependencies, see scripts in install-deps
# Also switch to the build directory.
# example: sudo ./install-deps/install-debian-ubuntu-deps.sh
source oe-init-build-env
# set your default machine type in conf/local.conf
# MACHINE="mtcdt"
# build an image
bitbake mlinux-base-image
2. Build from git repository
# clone repo to a dir name of your choice
git clone git://git.multitech.net/mlinux.git mlinux-3.0.0
cd mlinux-3.0.0
# checkout desired branch or tag
git checkout 3.0.0
# install needed dependencies, see scripts in install-deps
# example: sudo ./install-deps/install-debian-ubuntu-deps.sh
# initialize git submodules and setup dir structure
./setup.sh
# setup.sh generates a random mtadm password, and places the
# password in build/conf/local.conf and password.txt
#
#
# The specified password is ignored for commissioning images.
#
# To specify a password use an environmental variable,
# MTADM_PASSWORD
MTADM_PASSWORD="3g_t1zX0" ./setup.sh
#
# To change the password, remove MTADM_PASSWORD and
# MTADM_PASSWORD_HASH from conf/local.conf and re-run:
MTADM_PASSWORD="Y5bG3m_2" ./setup.sh
# setup environment and switch to build directory
source oe-init-build-env
# set your default machine type in conf/local.conf
# MACHINE="mtcdt"
# build an image (current working directory is
# build)
bitbake mlinux-base-image
-------------------------
IMAGES
-------------------------
mlinux-base-image: Small image with essential packages -- good starting point for a custom image
mlinux-commissioning-image: Large image loaded on units by default -- contains full language support (perl, python)
mlinux-mtcap-commissioning-image: MTCAP image
-------------------------

See the MultiTech Developer website (http://www.multitech.net) for full
installation and build instructions. In particular, see the "Introduction" and
"Getting Started" pages under the mLinux section.
