What is a factory bundle?

A factory bundle is an archive file containing all files you need to setup and deploy Chromium OS factory environment.

Here is a list of files in a typical factory bundle:

complete/
  complete_script_sample.sh

  factory_install_shim.bin
firmware/
  chromeos-firmwareupdate
firmware_images/
  bios.bin

release_image/

There should be exactly one file in this folder, with arbitrary file name.

This file will be imported by factory server as release image.
factory_installer will deploy release image into DUTs.

You can get release images from CPFE (select image type RECOVERY_IMAGE).

test_image/

There should be exactly one file in this folder, with arbitrary file name.

This file will be imported by factory server as test image.
factory_installer will deploy test image into DUTs.

You can get test images from CPFE (select image type TEST_IMAGE_ARCHIVE).

toolkit/

There should be exactly one file in this folder, with arbitrary file name.

This file will be imported by factory server as factory toolkit installer.
factory_installer will deploy factory toolkit into DUTs.
Goofy will try to update factory toolkit when running pytest sync_shopfloor.

You can get factory toolkit installers from CPFE (select image type FACTORY_IMAGE_ARCHIVE)

hwid/

There should be exactly one file in this folder, with arbitrary file name.

This file will be imported by factory server as HWID bundle.
factory_installer will deploy HWID bundle into DUTs.
Goofy will try to update HWID bundle when running some specific pytests.

You can get HWID bundles from Chrome OS Device Lifecycle Manager (select your device -> Files -> Add a filter -> HWID_BUNDLE).

firmware/

There could be at most one file in this folder, with arbitrary file name.

This file (if exists) will be imported by factory server as firmware updater.
factory_installer will run firmware updater to flash firmware (EC, AP, and possibly PD) when imaging finished.
Goofy will try to update firmware when running pytest update_firmware.

You can get a firmware updater from a release image by running factory/setup/image_tool get_firmware -i /path/to/release_image

complete/

There could be at most one file in this folder, with arbitrary file name.

This file (if exists) will be imported by factory server as complete script.
factory_installer will run the complete script after firmware updater.

You can find a complete script template in factory/setup/complete_script_sample.sh.

firmware_images/

finalize_bundle will extract firmware images from firmware updater and put them into this folder.

factory_shim/

finalize_bundle will extract factory shim image from FACTORY_IMAGE_ARCHIVE, patch its server address, and put it into this folder.

netboot/

finalize_bundle will extract netboot firmware image.net.bin and netboot kernel vmlinuz from FACTORY_IMAGE_ARCHIVE, patch their server address, and put them into this folder.

Also, there will be two files, cmdline.sample and dnsmasq.conf, which are generated by finalize_bundle to help you setup TFTP service for netboot.

When importing a bundle:

netboot/image.net.bin will be imported as netboot_firmware.
netboot/tftp/chrome-bot/*/vmlinu* will be imported as netboot_kernel.
netboot/tftp/chrome-bot/*/cmdline will be imported as netboot_cmdline. (Note that cmdline.sample will not be imported)

setup/

This folder is extracted from FACTORY_IMAGE_ARCHIVE by finalize_bundle, contains many useful scripts, such as:

cros_docker.sh
image_tool

Creating a factory bundle

There are several ways to create a bundle.

Using command "image_tool bundle"

This is the recommended way for Google Partners (ODM, OEM, SOC) with access to CPFE.

Download the factory Zip file (select Image Type as FACTORY_IMAGE_ARCHIVE) from CPFE Release / Image Files, extract to somewhere, for example my_bundle directory. This will provide the toolkit, factory shim, netboot and setup.
Download the test image (select Image Type as TEST_IMAGE_ARCHIVE from CPFE Release / Image files, extract all files to the test_image sub directory, for example my_bundle/test_image.
Download the release (FSI) image (select Image Type as RECOVERY_IMAGE from CPFE Release / Image files, save the files to the release_image sub directory, for example my_bundle/release_image.
If you want to use a different version of firmware, download the right RECOVERY_IMAGE that contains the right version of firmware updater, and extract the updater from it by image_tool get_firmware:
```
image_tool get_firmware -i PATH_TO/image.bin
```
And copy the generated chromeos-firmwareupdate file to the firmware sub directory, for example my_bundle/firmware. If you need to use a firmware that is not included in any recovery images, download the firmware image archive file with Image Type FIRMWARE_IMAGE_ARCHIVE from CPFE Release / Image files, extract the updater.sh and use it. Please be aware this will be a developer-key signed firmware and can't be used in PVT or MP builds.

If you want to skip updating firmware in the imaging process, add --no-firmware when you invoke image_tool bundle command.
If available, download the HWID bundle from CPFE Device File Repo / Manage Files (Type HWID_BUNDLE) and save to the hwid sub directory, for example my_bundle/hwid.
Enter the folder with all resource you've extracted and run image_tool bundle command, and specify the build phase (from one of proto, evt, dvt, pvt, mp) and an optional release note. If you plan to use network based installation (netboot or factory shim), also specify the factory server URL. For example:
```
cd my_bundle;
setup/image_tool bundle -p evt -n "First Release" -s http://192.168.0.1:8080
```
The host IP in server URL will also be used for TFTP server IP (since TFTP port is fixed to 69).

This should generate a factory bundle as factory_bundle_${BOARD}_${DATETIME}_${PHASE}.tar.bz2, for example factory_bundle_eve_201804120907_evt.tar.bz2.
If you need to use any resources in different path, each of them can be specified by image_tool command options. Run image_tool help bundle to see a full list of available options. For example:
```
setup/image_tool bundle --release_image PATH_TO/image.bin \
 --test_image PATH_TO/image2.bin --toolkit PATH_TO/my_toolkit \
 --firmware PATH_TO/updater.sh
```

Using Easy Bundle Creation Service

This is the recommended way for non-engineers with access to CPFE/cpcon, for example Google Partners (ODM, OEM, SOC) or Google device PMs.

Open cpcon, select Tools / Factory Bundle, and in the menu select your board, device (project), build phase, versions of toolkit (which implies netboot and factory shim), test and release image, then click the CREATE button.

Wait for few minutes and you should see a mail notifying the address to download the generated factory bundle.

Create bundle manually

This is the recommended way for people who does not have access to CPFE nor GoldenEye.

If you just want a bundle for Factory Server to import, you can manually create an archive file (zip file or {gzip|bzip2|xz} compressed tarball) containing att least the following folders with corresponding files inside:

release_image
test_image
toolkit

Additionally, if you want to provide the optional components or override with some more components, create the corresponding folders. For example,

complete
firmware
hwid

Or you can just enter Factory Server web user interface, and partial update the individual resource. No need to always create a factory bundle for network installation.

Using command "finalize_bundle"

This is the recommended way for Google developers with access to GoldenEye.

To create a complete factory bundle, you need to run finalize_bundle. finalize_bundle takes a manifest file MANIFEST.yaml and produces a factory bundle.

Here is a template MANIFEST.yaml:

board: samus
project: samus
bundle_name: 20170628_dvt
server_url: http://12.34.56.78:8080/
firmware: local
release_image: 9334.72.0
test_image: 9334.72.0
toolkit: 9688.0.0

Field `board`

Board name.

Field `project`

The Public Code Name (can be found on Golden Eye), or the "Google Name". Also should be same as the "Model Name" displayed in firmware screen (which is actually HWID), or reported on by command cros_config / name.

The project is made for projects sharing one board (overlay), especially for Zerg projects.

For example, the projects electro and basking both share images built using BOARD=reef, so you will set:

board: reef
project: electro

For projects having its own overlay, board and project may be same name. For example, pyro is using reef as reference design but it does have its own overlay, so you will need to set:

board: pyro
project: pyro

The project will be used to decide which HWID config file to use, and to find right firmware (and signing keys).

Field `bundle_name`

{YYYYMMDD}_{proto|evt|dvt|pvt}

Field `server_url`

http://{server ip}:{server port}/

finalize_bundle will inject this address into netboot firmware and factory shim.

This is an optional field.

Field `firmware`

There are three kinds of valid values:

local: User manually prepares a firmware updater in firmware/.
release_image: Use firmware updater in the release image.
release_image/xxxx.y.z: Version of the Release image which contains the firmware. Note that this is not the version of firmware itself.

This is an optional field. Default value is release_image.

Field `hwid`

There are two valid values:

real: There should be a real HWID bundle in hwid/.
none: finalize_bundle will create a dummy HWID bundle.

This is an optional field. Default value is real.

Field `release_image`

There are two kinds of valid values:

local: User manually prepares a release image in release_image/.
{xxxx.y.z}: Release image version for finalize_bundle to download. If there is already one file in release_image/, finalize_bundle will check whether the version matches or not.

Field `test_image`

There are two kinds of valid values:

local: User manually prepares a test image in test_image/.
{xxxx.y.z}: Test image version for finalize_bundle to download. If there is already one file in test_image/, finalize_bundle will check whether the version matches or not.

Field `toolkit`

There are two kinds of valid values:

local: User manually extracts FACTORY_IMAGE_ARCHIVE in bundle directory.
{xxxx.y.z}: FACTORY_IMAGE_ARCHIVE version for finalize_bundle to download. finalize_bundle will always download FACTORY_IMAGE_ARCHIVE if toolkit is set to non-local.

Non-local resources

Currently non-local resources can only be accessed by Google internally. Partners can only use local resources.

Running finalize_bundle command

With MANIFEST.yaml, we can run finalize_bundle now.

We strongly recommend you to install lbzip2, which can help you reduce finalize_bundle execution time by a lot.

To get finalize_bundle, please checkout factory repository:

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/factory

Create a directory with name factory_bundle_{board}_{bundle_name}:

mkdir factory_bundle_samus_20170628_dvt
cd factory_bundle_samus_20170628_dvt/

Prepare firmware updater if you want to use local firmware updater:

ln /path/to/chromeos-firmwareupdate firmware/

Prepare release image if you want to use local release image:

ln /path/to/chromeos_9334.72.0_samus_recovery_stable-channel_mp-v3.bin release_image/

Prepare test image if you want to use local test image:

tar -JxvC test_image/ </path/to/ChromeOS-test-R58-9334.72.0-samus.tar.xz

Extract factory zip (FACTORY_IMAGE_ARCHIVE) if you want to use a local one:

unzip /path/to/ChromeOS-factory-R61-9688.0.0-samus.zip

Prepare HWID bundle if you want to use local HWID bundle:

ln /path/to/hwid_v3_bundle_SAMUS.sh hwid/

Add your MANIFEST.yaml if you don't have it in factory zip or you want to use a new one:

cp /path/to/MANIFEST.yaml MANIFEST.yaml

Finally, run finalize_bundle:

/path/to/factory/bin/finalize_bundle .

After minutes, you will get a complete factory bundle. Cheers!
