Camelback Mountain is supported by Intel Common Core BSP.

Building Common Core BSP layer for Camelback Mountain Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500:
===================================================================================
Download the Poky build system to your development machine.
$ git clone -b rocko git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git

Get the BSP layer either by cloning with Git or downloading the BSP tarball.

Option 1: git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel -b 8.1-rocko-2.4.2

Option 2: Download the corresponding BSP tarball from this ‘Board Support Package (BSP) Downloads’ page of the Yocto Project website.

Extract the downloaded BSP tarball into meta-intel folder
$ tar -xvjf meta-intel-8.1-rocko-2.4.2.tar.bz2

Rename the folder of the extracted BSP tarball to meta-intel.
Note: Ignore this step if there is already a folder with the same name.
$ mv meta-intel-8.1-rocko-2.4.2 meta-intel

Create a build folder at the same level of “poky” directory.
$ mkdir yocto_build
$ cd yocto_build

Assuming that you have downloaded the BSP tarball and extracted the content at top level of your development build tree, you
need to prepare the build environment using “source” command.
$ source ../poky/oe-init-build-env .

Build an image for Camelback Mountain by adding the location of meta-intel layer to conf/bblayers.conf, e.g.:
BBLAYERS ?= ” \
/path/poky/meta \
/path/poky/meta-poky \
/path/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
/path/meta-intel \
”

To build 64-bit image, add “intel-corei7-64” MACHINE to local.conf:
MACHINE = “intel-corei7-64”

To build image with specified kernel version of linux-intel (Eg. linux-intel 4.14), add these parameters to local.conf:
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = “linux-intel”
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-intel = “4.14%”

The kernel config for ixgbe module is bydefault disabled and need to enable manually to support 10GbE SFP+ Network Interface.
To compile ixgbe driver as module :
• Create file meta-intel/common/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-intel/ixgbe.cfg and add below kernel configs to file ixgbe.cfg:
CONFIG_IXGBE=m
CONFIG_IXGBE_HWMON=y
CONFIG_IXGBE_DCA=y
CONFIG_IXGBE_DCB=y
CONFIG_IXGBEVF=m

• To include file “ixgbe.cfg”, add below line to kernel recipe file meta-intel/common/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-intel_4.14.bb
SRC_URI_append = ” file://ixgbe.cfg”

Once the configurations are added, kick start the image building process by using bitbake command.
To build an image with sato graphical interface :
$ bitbake core-image-sato

For building an image with the development tools, type the following command:
$ bitbake core-image-sato-sdk

A bootable image will be generated in yocto_build/tmp/deploy/images/intel-corei7-64/ once the
compilation successful.
File name that will be generated:
core-image-sato-intel-corei7-64.hddimg
OR
core-image-sato-sdk-intel-corei7-64.hddimg

At the end of a successful build, you should have a live image that you can boot from a USB flash drive.
You can deploy the hddimg image to a USB or SATA device. You will need to know the device name on your host as well as the device name on the target. Be careful
with this step as using the wrong host device can result in overwriting data on your own host machine.

Under Linux, USB and SATA devices typically appear as /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc.
Watching your system messages as you connect the device will tell you exactly which device name
is assigned to the device. Let’s assuming the USB flash drive takes device /dev/sdc, use dd to copy the live image to it. For example:
$ sudo dd if=core-image-sato-intel-corei7-64.hddimg of=/dev/sdc bs=4M
$ sync
$ eject /dev/sdc

Insert the device into the Camelback Mountain platform and power on, it should display a menu.
Before booting the platform, need to change the boot configuration, go to:
1. Boot Maintenance Manager
2. Boot Options
3. Change Boot Order
4. Change the order to:
• UEFI Internal Shell
• UEFI USB
5. Commit Changes and Exit
6. Continue
7. Once reset it should display shell terminal, reboot using UEFI Shell Commands:
• fs0:\EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi
