Building

Note:

Detailed instruction is distributed via User Guide.

Prerequisite

Before being able to build and run docker, you will need install docker on your system. Please use https://docs.docker.com/install to install docker-ce.

Actual build

Build kernel and driver module for host:

cd VCAC-SW/VCAC-A/Intel_Media_Analytics_Host/scripts/
./build.sh

If the docker images used for compiling have been generated in an earlier execution, user can save time required to build them again by the following executions:

./build.sh -s

Build system image to be loaded on VCAC-A card:

cd VCAC-SW/VCAC-A/Intel_Media_Analytics_Node/scripts/
run: vcad_build.sh -o <BASIC/FULL>  <options>
	         BASIC: basic OS image only with modules
	         FULL: OS image with MSS/OpenVINO installed

Check more options via 'vcad_build.sh -h', and below are some examples:

• Skip downloading source code and dependencies, put the files under /PATH/TO/PACKAGE/cache, then pass "-c" flag:

vcad_build.sh -o <BASIC/FULL>  -c

• If the docker images used for compiling have been generated in an earlier execution, user can save time required to build them again by the following executions:

vcad_build.sh -o <BASIC/FULL>  -s

• The size of the vcad system image is set to 48GB by default. And the system image size is configurable through passing flag "-e" followed by the image size measured in GB

vcad_build.sh -o <BASIC/FULL>  -e 24
