Part of the downloaded AGL software is a setup script that you must run to initialize the build environment.
aglsetup.sh
Script
You can find this script here:
$AGL_TOP/lamprey/meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh
The script accepts many options that allow you to define build parameters such as the target hardware (i.e. the machine), build directory, and so forth. Use the following commands to see the available options and script syntax:
$ cd $AGL_TOP/lamprey
$ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -h
AGL Machines (board support)
Your target platform will be selected with the -m
flag.
The MACHINE can be selected from the templates in meta-agl/templates/machine/*
.
Note: This is also the place where you can add new boards.
Following is a list of the available machines (level of support varies!):
Available machines:

AGL Features
Before running the aglsetup.sh
, you should understand what AGL features you
want to include as part of your image.
The script's help output lists available features and shows you the layers in
which they reside.
Following is a list of the available features:

To find out exactly what a feature provides, check out the respective layer and its README.
An AGL feature is a configuration that accounts for specific settings
and dependencies needed for a particular build.
For example, specifying the "agl-demo" feature makes sure that the
aglsetup.sh
script creates configuration files needed to build the
image for the AGL demo.
Following are brief descriptions of the AGL features you can specify on the
aglsetup.sh
command line:
-
agl-all-features: A set of AGL default features. Do not think of this set of features as all the AGL features.
-
agl-appfw-smack: Enables IoT.bzh Application Framework plus SMACK and Cynara.
-
agl-archiver: Enables the archiver class for releases.
-
agl-ci: Flags used for Continuous Integration (CI). Using this feature changes the value of the
IMAGE_FSTYPES
variable. -
agl-ci-change-features: Enables features for CI builds for Gerrit changes.
-
agl-ci-change-features-nogfx: Enables features for CI builds for Gerrit changes for targets that use binary graphics drivers (i.e. builds without graphics).
-
agl-ci-snapshot-features: Enables features for CI daily snapshot builds.
-
agl-ci-snapshot-features-nogfx: Enables features for CI daily snapshot builds for targets that use binary graphics drivers (i.e. builds without graphics).
-
agl-devel: Activates development options such as an empty root password, debuggers, strace, valgrind, and so forth.
-
agl-netboot: Enables network boot support through Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) and Network Block Device (NBD) protocol. Netboot is needed for CI and useful for development to avoid writing sdcards. Needs additional setup.
-
agl-ptest: Enables Ptest as part of the build.
-
agl-demo: Enables the layers meta-agl-demo and meta-qt5. You need agl-demo if you are going to build the agl-demo-platform.
-
agl-pipewire: Enables AGLs pipewire support.
-
agl-localdev: Adds a local layer named "meta-localdev" in the meta directory and a local.dev.inc configuration file when that file is present.
This feature provides a shortcut for using the layer meta-localdev in the top-level folder for easy modifications to your own recipes.
Example
Following is an example that initializes the build environment, selects "beaglebone" for the machine, and chooses the "agl-demo" feature, which also includes the "agl-appfw-smack", "agl-devel", and "agl-hmi-framework" features:
$ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m qemux86-64 -b qemux86-64 agl-demo agl-devel

You can now run 'bitbake target'
Common targets are:
- meta-agl: (core system)
agl-image-minimal
agl-image-minimal-qa
agl-image-ivi
agl-image-ivi-qa
agl-image-ivi-crosssdk
agl-image-weston
- meta-agl-demo: (demo with UI)
agl-demo-platform (* default demo target)
agl-demo-platform-qa
agl-demo-platform-crosssdk
agl-demo-platform-html5
Running the script creates the Build Directory if it does not already exist.
The default Build Directory is $AGL_TOP/<release-branch-name>/build
, and the nomenclature to be used throughout this doc is going to be $AGL_TOP/<release-branch-name>/<build-dir>
For this example, the Build Directory is $AGL_TOP/lamprey/qemux86-64
.
The script's output also indicates the machine and AGL features selected for the build.
The script creates two primary configuration files used for the build: local.conf
and bblayers.conf
.
Both these configuration files are located in the Build Directory in the conf
folder.
If you were to examine these files, you would find standard Yocto Project
configurations along with AGL configuration fragments, which are driven by the
machine (i.e. beaglebone) and the AGL features specified as part of the
script's command line.
The end result is configuration files specific for your build in the AGL development environment.
Finally, part of the aglsetup.sh
script makes sure that any End User License Agreements (EULA)
are considered.
You can see that processing in the script's output as well.
NOTE: Use of the local.conf
and bblayers.conf
configuration files is fundamental
in the Yocto Project build environment.
Consequently, it is fundamental in the AGL build environment.
You can find lots of information on configuring builds in the Yocto Project
documentation set.
