Hi @octonout ,
we include pypylon in the yocto layers for our embedded cameras. These should be easy to adopt for your usecase. The code is pretty simple: python3-pypylon_1.7.1.bb

Hi Stefan,
many thanks for sharing your receipes. I tried what you did. To install pylon on my RPI4.
Unfortunately I get this error (when I run bitbake core-image-minimal):

I have the exact same pylon version. The only thing I changed is the name of the receipe to python3-pylon_0.1.bb
I am using hardnott.
Maybe you can help me and make sense of this error?
Many thanks
Moritz
Hi Moritz,
did you use the correct pylon binaries? My receipe referenced the aarch64 pylon tarball. But it looks as if you are building for 32 bit arm (which is often used on the RPi). One thing that looks a bit strange: Your toolchain prefix is arm-poky-linux-gnueabi- which suggests a softfloat ABI. pylon 32bit is only available for hardfloat ABI/armhf (Which is also the better choice for your RPi4). You should double check your expected ABI settings.
Best regards, Stefan
Hi Stefan,
I checked my binaries and I am using this version (tried both):

I think this is the correct version right?
My local.config looks like this (maybe I am missing something?):
#
# This file is your local configuration file and is where all local user settings
# are placed. The comments in this file give some guide to the options a new user
# to the system might want to change but pretty much any configuration option can
# be set in this file. More adventurous users can look at local.conf.extended
# which contains other examples of configuration which can be placed in this file
# but new users likely won't need any of them initially.
#
# Lines starting with the '#' character are commented out and in some cases the
# default values are provided as comments to show people example syntax. Enabling
# the option is a question of removing the # character and making any change to the
# variable as required.
#
# Machine Selection
#
# You need to select a specific machine to target the build with. There are a selection
# of emulated machines available which can boot and run in the QEMU emulator:
#
#MACHINE ?= "qemuarm"
#MACHINE ?= "qemuarm64"
#MACHINE ?= "qemumips"
#MACHINE ?= "qemumips64"
#MACHINE ?= "qemuppc"

#MACHINE ?= "genericx86"
#MACHINE ?= "genericx86-64"

#
# Where to place downloads
#
# During a first build the system will download many different source code tarballs
# from various upstream projects. This can take a while, particularly if your network
# connection is slow. These are all stored in DL_DIR. When wiping and rebuilding you
# can preserve this directory to speed up this part of subsequent builds. This directory
# is safe to share between multiple builds on the same machine too.
#
# The default is a downloads directory under TOPDIR which is the build directory.
#
#DL_DIR ?= "${TOPDIR}/downloads"
#
# Where to place shared-state files
#
# BitBake has the capability to accelerate builds based on previously built output.
# This is done using "shared state" files which can be thought of as cache objects
# and this option determines where those files are placed.
#
# You can wipe out TMPDIR leaving this directory intact and the build would regenerate
# from these files if no changes were made to the configuration. If changes were made
# to the configuration, only shared state files where the state was still valid would
# be used (done using checksums).
#
# The default is a sstate-cache directory under TOPDIR.
#
#SSTATE_DIR ?= "${TOPDIR}/sstate-cache"
#
# Where to place the build output
#
# This option specifies where the bulk of the building work should be done and
# where BitBake should place its temporary files and output. Keep in mind that
# this includes the extraction and compilation of many applications and the toolchain
# which can use Gigabytes of hard disk space.
#
# The default is a tmp directory under TOPDIR.
#
#TMPDIR = "${TOPDIR}/tmp"
#
# Default policy config
#
# The distribution setting controls which policy settings are used as defaults.
# The default value is fine for general Yocto project use, at least initially.
# Ultimately when creating custom policy, people will likely end up subclassing
# these defaults.
#
DISTRO ?= "poky"
# As an example of a subclass there is a "bleeding" edge policy configuration
# where many versions are set to the absolute latest code from the upstream
# source control systems. This is just mentioned here as an example, its not
# useful to most new users.
# DISTRO ?= "poky-bleeding"
#
# Package Management configuration
#
# This variable lists which packaging formats to enable. Multiple package backends
# can be enabled at once and the first item listed in the variable will be used
# to generate the root filesystems.
# Options are:
# - 'package_deb' for debian style deb files
# - 'package_ipk' for ipk files are used by opkg (a debian style embedded package manager)
# - 'package_rpm' for rpm style packages
# E.g.: PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm package_deb package_ipk"
# We default to rpm:
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm"
#
# SDK target architecture
#
# This variable specifies the architecture to build SDK items for and means
# you can build the SDK packages for architectures other than the machine you are
# running the build on (i.e. building i686 packages on an x86_64 host).
# Supported values are i686, x86_64, aarch64
#SDKMACHINE ?= "i686"
#
# Extra image configuration defaults
#
# The EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES variable allows extra packages to be added to the generated
# images. Some of these options are added to certain image types automatically. The
# variable can contain the following options:
# "dbg-pkgs" - add -dbg packages for all installed packages
# (adds symbol information for debugging/profiling)
# "src-pkgs" - add -src packages for all installed packages
# (adds source code for debugging)
# "dev-pkgs" - add -dev packages for all installed packages
# (useful if you want to develop against libs in the image)
# "ptest-pkgs" - add -ptest packages for all ptest-enabled packages
# (useful if you want to run the package test suites)
# "tools-sdk" - add development tools (gcc, make, pkgconfig etc.)
# "tools-debug" - add debugging tools (gdb, strace)
# "eclipse-debug" - add Eclipse remote debugging support
# "tools-profile" - add profiling tools (oprofile, lttng, valgrind)
# "tools-testapps" - add useful testing tools (ts_print, aplay, arecord etc.)
# "debug-tweaks" - make an image suitable for development
# e.g. ssh root access has a blank password
# There are other application targets that can be used here too, see
# meta/classes/image.bbclass and meta/classes/core-image.bbclass for more details.
# We default to enabling the debugging tweaks.
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= "debug-tweaks"
#
# Additional image features
#
# The following is a list of additional classes to use when building images which
# enable extra features. Some available options which can be included in this variable
# are:
# - 'buildstats' collect build statistics
# - 'image-mklibs' to reduce shared library files size for an image
# - 'image-prelink' in order to prelink the filesystem image
# NOTE: if listing mklibs & prelink both, then make sure mklibs is before prelink
# NOTE: mklibs also needs to be explicitly enabled for a given image, see local.conf.extended
USER_CLASSES ?= "buildstats image-mklibs image-prelink"
#
# Runtime testing of images
#
# The build system can test booting virtual machine images under qemu (an emulator)
# after any root filesystems are created and run tests against those images. It can also
# run tests against any SDK that are built. To enable this uncomment these lines.
# See classes/test{image,sdk}.bbclass for further details.

# Interactive shell configuration
#
# Under certain circumstances the system may need input from you and to do this it
# can launch an interactive shell. It needs to do this since the build is
# multithreaded and needs to be able to handle the case where more than one parallel
# process may require the user's attention. The default is iterate over the available
# terminal types to find one that works.
#
# Examples of the occasions this may happen are when resolving patches which cannot
# be applied, to use the devshell or the kernel menuconfig
#
# Supported values are auto, gnome, xfce, rxvt, screen, konsole (KDE 3.x only), none

# of the build. The reason for this is that running completely out of space can corrupt

# Shared-state files from other locations
#
# As mentioned above, shared state files are prebuilt cache data objects which can be
# used to accelerate build time. This variable can be used to configure the system
# to search other mirror locations for these objects before it builds the data itself.
#
# This can be a filesystem directory, or a remote url such as http or ftp. These
# would contain the sstate-cache results from previous builds (possibly from other
# machines). This variable works like fetcher MIRRORS/PREMIRRORS and points to the
# cache locations to check for the shared objects.
# NOTE: if the mirror uses the same structure as SSTATE_DIR, you need to add PATH
# at the end as shown in the examples below. This will be substituted with the
# correct path within the directory structure.

# Yocto Project SState Mirror
#
# The Yocto Project has prebuilt artefacts available for its releases, you can enable
# use of these by uncommenting the following line. This will mean the build uses
# the network to check for artefacts at the start of builds, which does slow it down
# equally, it will also speed up the builds by not having to build things if they are

Hi,
many thanks again Stefan for pointing me in the right direction. I used the 64 version and no it is working ;).
Cheers Moritz
We want to add pypylon to our custom Yocto image for Jetson Nano.
On the Jetson Nano running the custom Yocto image, with pip version greater than 20.3, it is possible to install pypylon. But this is runtime installation. And we would rather have it added to the image at build time. To do so we will have to cross compile it via the Yocto build system.
From the readme these seem to be the build time dependencies:
I can provide these on the Yocto build system. What else would be required to cross compile?
