Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

Below is the text from console. I used this image for a file system.

Angstrom-TI-GNOME-image-eglibc-ipk-v2012.01-core-beagleboard-2012.01.11

This image boots and I have network. I then built 3.0.14 I downloaded from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/. I used beagleboard_defconfig. I made no changes. I copied uImage to the second partition under /boot (where the working kernel is). So I now have in the directory uImage-3.0.14+ (Angstrom’s uImage) and my uImage-3.0.14.

I ran the same commands on both uImages. The 3.0.14+ boots, the 3.0.14 does not. Here is the results of ‘file’ command.

uImage-3.0.14: u-boot legacy uImage, Linux-3.0.14, Linux/ARM, OS Kernel Image (Not compressed), 3325268 bytes, Wed Aug 19 12:53:49 2015, Load Address: 0x80008000, Entry Point: 0x80008000, Header CRC: 0x638C9B4E, Data CRC: 0x91C3AA1C
uImage-3.0.14+: u-boot legacy uImage, Angstrom/3.0.14/beagleboard, Linux/ARM, OS Kernel Image (Not compressed), 3372252 bytes, Thu Dec 22 01:53:44 2011, Load Address: 0x80008000, Entry Point: 0x80008000, Header CRC: 0xDBAB6EA9, Data CRC: 0x950C1585

As you can see from the bootargs I do have console set to ttyO2 and the other tty0 was suppose to tell kernel to print. Just in case it was booting and I just could not see output, I checked server for DHCP messages. There were none.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Angstrom-TI-GNOME-image-eglibc-ipk-v2012.01-core-beagleboard-2012.01.11

This image boots and I have network. I then built 3.0.14 I downloaded

from Index of /pub/linux/kernel/. I used
beagleboard_defconfig. I made no changes. I copied uImage to the second
partition under /boot (where the working kernel is). So I now have in the
directory uImage-3.0.14+ (Angstrom's uImage) and my uImage-3.0.14.

3.0.14+ is NOT the same as 3.0.14, you need to add 'ALL' patches that made
it a '+'

I tried to get the source for 3.0.14+. The image that was create does not
have any source that I can find (or patches). Which is why I went to kernel.org
Does anyone know where I can find source/patches for 3.0.14+?

Thank you.

This post references a link which I did check out. But it does not have TIDSPBRIDGE. That is why I am trying to use 3.0.14+ image with 3.0.14 source (which does have TIDSPBRIDGE). Now if the source or patches for 3.0.14+ exist, I have not been able to find it.

TIDSPBRIDGE is dead...

for "3.0.14+ patchset" look at the patches at:

https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-ti/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux_3.0.bb

Thank you.

I used this command to get the repository.

git clone https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-ti.git

I see

meta-ti/tree/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-3.0
meta-ti/tree/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-3.0.bb

I do not see

meta-ti/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux_3.0.bb

1) Is linux-3.0.bb a script used with 'patch'?
2) Do I cd to top level of kernel tree and run patch with this script?
3) How is this script executed?

Thank you,

Thank you.

I used this command to get the repository.

git clone GitHub - Angstrom-distribution/meta-ti: Angstrom specific mirror. The definitive meta-ti is at -

I see

meta-ti/tree/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-3.0
meta-ti/tree/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-3.0.bb

I do not see

meta-ti/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux_3.0.bb

Well, yeah "blob" is just part of the github "web" interface...

1) Is linux-3.0.bb a script used with 'patch'?
2) Do I cd to top level of kernel tree and run patch with this script?
3) How is this script executed?

It's a *.bb script... so either use "bitbake", or write a script to
manually "patch -p1 < <file>" in the order shown in the *.bb file.

I'd personally write a script.. Using "bitbake" requires more other
un-related work..

Ok, patches went in successfully, and uImage was built successfully.
I am still stuck at booting the kernel. I need an idea to debug this.
Any ideas?

Thank you,

Durwin

Well, assuming you followed the *.bb exactly for the patches and
kernel defconfig...

It's probably a gcc bug.. Make sure you use a version of gcc from
that same era. As that "repo" worked in that era.

Good Luck!
