Closed ivrabie closed 2 weeks ago

Hi

I am trying to run the l4re on RPI4. Is there a tutorial on how to build the Linux VM image using the yocto build system ?

Hi,

do you mean the Linux VM that would be running in a VM on the rpi4? There's really nothing special about that, just use any way that is convenient to you for build a custom Linux system. Or, for a start, just use a simple ramdisk, such as found in https://l4re.org/download/ramdisks/

What I meant was that I want to have this configuration : image For me based on the current documentation is clear how get l4re running on RPI 4 the green part, what is not clear if should I include/configure something special in the yocto build so that the VMs would be compatible with L4RE the red part. And if is there somewhere some tutorial at least for on VM?

You do not need to include or configure special things in you yocto build. You need to make sure that the guest kernel has virtio and the respective device drivers (block, net, console) enabled.
