Building

Follow the usual steps to setup OpenEmbedded and bitbake.

MACHINE=wiipiido bitbake core-image-base

Using systemd instead of SysVinit

To use systemd add this to your local.conf:

DISTRO_FEATURES += "systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = "sysvinit"

Connecting to WiFi

To use WiFi add this to your local.conf:

DISTRO_FEATURES += "ipv4 ipv6 wifi"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " linux-firmware-bcm43430"

Displaying the kernel boot log on HDMI

To see the kernel boot log on the HDMI output, which is useful for debugging, change recipes-bsp/u-boot/files/boot.txt to the following:

setenv bootargs console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait

This results in adding console=tty0 which will direct Linux to display the console on the display.
