Trying GDP master on a Raspberry Pi 3

This blog post illustrates some tests I made running the GENIVI Development Platform on a Raspberry Pi 3.

Build the GDP image from sources

Built the image using the folllowing configuration:

HW: HP xw8600 workstation (mv-linux-powerhorse)
OS: Ubuntu Server 16.04.2 LTS 64-bit
Docker version 17.05.0-ce, build 89658be
docker-compose version 1.7.1, build 0a9ab35
easy-jenkins master (commit 646daad6529074618308cb36e14be05b128c86d3)
my-genivi-pipelines (commit b40b883f02695dc2962add20363e0038064e90ee)

Build artifacts: http://mv-linux-powerhorse.solarma.it:9080/blue/organizations/jenkins/gmacario%2Fmy-genivi-pipelines/detail/build-gdp-master-raspberrypi3/15/artifacts

Prepare the microSD card

Download file gdp-src-build/tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi3/genivi-dev-platform-raspberrypi3-20170510130900.rootfs.rpi-sdimg (1.2 GB)

Run Win32 Disk Imager to write the image to a SanDisk 8 GiB microSDHC.

Run GDP on the RPi3

Run PuTTY (COM7:115200,8,n,1) to log RPi3 serial console messages

Logfile: Dropbox/logs/20170515-1526-gdpmaster-rpi3.txt

Power up RPi3, wait until a login prompt appears at the serial console:

Yocto GENIVI Baseline (Poky/meta-ivi) 12.0.0 raspberrypi3 ttyS0
