Hi All,
I need a tutorial to boot linux in bbb.
I have booted 3.8 I have rootfs and boot partition
I have booted using a prebuild debian image
I see there is only one rootfs iin debian image
why there is difference between having boot and rootfs vs a single rootfs folder.
I want to use latest kernel. I ran ./build.sh script and it did what it can do. I have now a zImage unlike a vmlinuz in the debian boot image. Why this difference?
How can I prepare a booting sd card using ./build.sh script and boot on my BBB.
took u-boot just now from this tutorial,
two problems I see while compiling
Your GCC is older than 6.0 and will not be supported starting in v2018.01.
and
lib/asm-offsets.c:1:0: error: bad value (armv5) for -march= switch
Why such errors?
Can’t we use older u-boot that used to work?
Umm that statement is pretty obvious from u-boot, what’s your issue with it?
Didn’t pass ARCH=arm
Both those errors show you didn’t follow the directions as written.
Regards,
yes, i didn’t followed instructions, for cross compiler.
I already have a cross compiler that I am using and that builds u-boot.
A couple of more questions,
I took this kernel For am33x-v4.4 (Longterm 4.4.x):
There is another thing on this site
1. TI BSP
What its for?
- I took this capemgr: v4.4.x+
When I issued this
./install.sh
I get an error Error: this script: [./install.sh] is not supported to run under [x86_64]
TI has their own supported kernel fork, those are based on that.
Correct, that script is not supported to be run on your desktop…
Run it in the end Beagle device.
Regards,
I am at menuconfig menu in terminal, I don’t know where is bb.org_defconfig. Which configuration I choose for .config file to get booted on my BBB.
Umm just hit esc-esc the default config is already loaded by default. Menuconfig pops up just so you can see, tweak, etc…
Regards,
Why i asked this because except I am downloading kernel from Robert’s repository I don’t know where beaglebone configs are
selected.
I can only see the soc name like am3xx but no where in configs beaglebone or anything that does not confuse a first timer
sure that he is doing the right thing.
also why would I use TI’s BSP? Is it important for a first timer?
The default config is located at…
patches/defconfig
It gets copied to ./KERNEL/.config
Before
make menuconfig
Gets called…
Regards,
It’s important to TI and some users, it’s also what we ship by default for BeagleBoard.org images.
Regards,
#1 You WERE talking to Robert
#2 There is no question if Robert did "the right thing". The question is if
YOU did the right thing.
I don’t know if I am doing the right thing that’s why I am posting questions.
