In the next two sections, we go through the steps for baking and booting an image for the VisionFive board.

Baking for VisionFive

To create the source structure, please download Poky using the following command line:

git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky -b kirkstone

After completing this, we must create the build directory we’ll use for our builds and add the BSP layer. We can do this using the following command lines:

source oe-init-build-env build
bitbake-layers layerindex-fetch meta-riscv

After we have the build directory and the BSP layers properly set up, we can start the build. Inside the build directory, we must call the following command:
