Tizen IVI

Creation of a Tizen IVI with OBS Light

Note this page needs to be moved to Tizen Wiki and image snapshot addition.

Install OBS Light

Select you installation depending of your PC OS. OBS Light Installation

Download a valid Kick Start file

Check which release you want to build an image with. Note that new build repo are available every day but they may not be operational. See : http://download.tizen.org/snapshots/

Recover a .ks file. The following can be used as example: http://download.tizen.org/snapshots/tizen_20120523.4/images/ivi-min-auto/ivi-min-auto-tizen_20120523.4.ks

Note: the more generic kickstart files found in builddata/image-configs (e.g. http://download.tizen.org/snapshots/tizen_20120523.4/builddata/image-configs/ivi-min-auto.ks) include a @BUILD_ID@ in the baseurl. Such tag is automatically replaced by a string passed to mic with the option --release=<build_id>. In the example above, the option would have been --release=tizen_20120523.4. If one wants to work with the very latest then use --release=latest.

Start OBS Light GUI

We will not configure any OBS as we are only interested in image creation.

• To activate the mode MIC, Click on the second Tab on Top left of the screen
• Create a new project with the button 'New' on the bottom left of the screen
• Import the .ks file using the button 'Import Kickstart file'
• Select your image type (default is fs for file system)
• You can check the various option by clicking on the various tab.
• Click 'Create Image'
• Click 'Show Log' -> Wait about 10mn - once that the cache is created it's quicker

If your .ks file is valid you will have an image located in your project directory. OBS Light integrates an option to export of that image via TFTP/NFS for quick test. Note: The Tizen IVI kernels have the NFS option turned off by default so you will need to reconfigure your kernel before you can use that option.

Change your config and play with the .ks option as much as desired.

Enjoy.
