Download petalinux v2018.2 install file(petalinux-v2018.2-final-installer.run) from https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools.html to /petalinux-182-docker-ubuntu/petalinux-v2018.2/
Download petalinux BSP v2018.2 file(e.g. xilinx-zcu102-v2018.2-final.bsp) from https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools.html to /petalinux-182-docker-ubuntu/petalinux-v2018.2_bsps/

Build the container base on the Dockerfile

change to DIR
build the container from Dockerfile

NOTE You may need modify the proxy settings in Dockerfile according to your enviroment.

e.g.
$sudo docker build ./ --network=host --build-arg version=2018.2 --build-arg date_created=1110 -t petalinux-182-ubuntu:test
build_docker.sh is a example for you.

Start the container

e.g.
$sudo docker run --name petalinux-2018.2 --user=plnx_user  --entrypoint=/bin/bash -it -v /home/ahe/PLNX_WS/:/home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS petalinux-182-ubuntu:test

The example mount the /home/ahe/PLNX_WS/ from HOST to /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/

Create a project in container

Then you can use petalinux-v2018.2 to build a petalinux project. Please refer to UG1144 and UG1157 from www.xilinx.com for using petalinux.

Enalbe local sstate-cache

As you know, petalinux is base on Yocto. You can speed up the building process by using sstate-cache. Petalinux use online sstae-cache as default setting. To avoid the unstable network connection, you download the sstate-cache from https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools.html and put the DIR mounted by the container. As this example, unzip the sstate_cache.tar.gz and put it into /home/ahe/PLNX_WS/ at host side and you can get it bellow /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/

The dir tree looks like bellow.

/home/ahe/PLNX_WS/sstate-rel-v2018.2/
├── aarch64
├── arm
├── downloads
├── file
├── filelist.txt
├── mb-full
├── mb-lite
├── output_arm_univ_tgz.txt
├── output_mbfull_univ_tgz.txt
└── output_mblite_univ_tgz.txt

The aarch64 is for Zynq MPSoC and arm is for Zynq SoC.
The download is the source code package

Set local sstate_cache

run petalinux-config to get the settings through petalinux-config-->Yocto-Settings-->Local sstate feeds settings and enter the full path of the sstate directory. As this example for zcu102(Zynq MPSoC), the sstate directory should be /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/sstate-rel-v2018.2/aarch64/ If your porject is for Zynq, it should be /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/sstate-rel-v2018.2/arm/.

Set local source mirrors

petalinux-config -> Yocto-Settings -> Add pre-mirror url --> Enter with file://
e.g. here is /home/plnx_user/PLNX_WS/sstate-rel-v2018.2/downloads/

Disable Network sstate feeds (optional)

Deselect petalinux-config-->Yocto-Settings-->Enable Network sstate feeds

Force do fetching from local (optional)

Select petalinux-config-->Yocto-Settings--> Enable BB NO NETWORK

Then you can build the project with local sstate_cache and source mirrors. More details of these settings are in UG1144.
