BeagleboardxM rev. C - no network, missing smsc95xx

Hi Robert:

Thanks for the replies.

So what does this build_deb.sh

Compared to Ubuntu 11.10 here:

http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Oneiric_11.10.

Do I need to build_deb.sh as well? I don’t see mention of it in the README.

In general, should I be running all of the following scripts before I run “./tools/install_image.sh”:

Build: Debian deb package:
“./build_deb.sh”

Create SGX install Package: (OMAP3/DM37xx only, no PandaBoard Support)
“./create_sgx_package.sh”

Create DSP install Package: (OMAP3/DM37xx only, no PandaBoard Support)
“./create_dsp_package.sh”

Thanks!

BeagleBoardUbuntu - eLinux.org.

Instead of building just the zImage/modules... it builds a debian
*.deb package, mostly useful for installing on a device not near
you...

Think of it as:
./build_kernel.sh (zimage/modules) installing to an sd card you have
at your desk..
./build_deb.sh (deb) installing to a system running in the basement
and you don't want to walk down and remove the sd card..

Create SGX install Package: (OMAP3/DM37xx only, no PandaBoard Support)
"./create_sgx_package.sh"

Create DSP install Package: (OMAP3/DM37xx only, no PandaBoard Support)
"./create_dsp_package.sh"

Both of these last tools just add more closed source features... Not
necessary for every 'build'...

Hi Robert:

It sounds like for BeagleBoardxM Rev. C this is turning into:

  1. Partition blank mini-SD like this:

http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBoard#BeagleBoard-SetupmicroSDcard

  1. git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel.git

  2. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

  3. cp system.sh.sample system.sh

  4. Make the following edits to system.sh:

5.1 Add cross compiler path:
CC=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-

5.2. Add physical address in memory for the kernel entry point:
##For TI: OMAP3/4/AM35xx
ZRELADDR=0x80008000

5.3. Question - Do I need to add this line to system.sh? The comments in the script confuse me because you just had me partition the mini-SD:
MMC=/dev/sdb

As in:
###OPTIONAL: (REQUIRED FOR RUNNING: ./tools/load_uImage.sh & ./tools/load_uImage-net.sh)
##Note: This operates on raw disks, NOT PARTITIONS
##WRONG: MMC=/dev/mmcblk0p1
##CORRECT: MMC=/dev/mmcblk0
##WRONG: MMC=/dev/sde1
##CORRECT: MMC=/dev/sde

MMC=/dev/sdb

  1. ./build_kernel.sh

  2. ./tools/install_image.sh

  3. Unmount the mini-SD

  4. Pop the mini-SD into the BeagleBoard and power it on

Does this sound correct? I see the content about uEnv.txt at:

http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBoard#BeagleBoard-SetupmicroSDcard

I don’t to do any of that?

Thanks,
Bill

This is just referenced by "./tools/install_image.sh" the next step
would be fore "./tools/install_image.sh" to scan and ask you
specifically which device you want.. (then the variable could be
deleted)... but all this does it copy the zImage/uImage and modules to
the sd card.. you can do this by hand too if you want..

6. ./build_kernel.sh

7. ./tools/install_image.sh

8. Unmount the mini-SD

9. Pop the mini-SD into the BeagleBoard and power it on

I don't to do any of that?

Without creating a uEnv.txt, it'll just go:

MLO -> u-boot.img -> fail to read uEnv.txt -> never-never-land based
on built-in u-boot variables..
