==========
|
|
|
|
This file documents the Buildroot support for the Pandaboard, a
|
|
low-power, low-cost single-board computer development platform based
|
|
on the Texas Instruments OMAP4 system on a chip (SoC).
|
|
|
|
Configuring and building Buildroot
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Start from the defconfig:
|
|
|
|
$ make pandaboard_defconfig
|
|
|
|
You can edit build options the usual way:
|
|
|
|
$ make menuconfig
|
|
|
|
When you are happy with the setup, run:
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
The result of the build with the default settings should be these files:
|
|
|
|
output/images
|
|
├── MLO
|
|
├── omap4-panda-a4.dtb
|
|
├── omap4-panda.dtb
|
|
├── omap4-panda-es.dtb
|
|
├── rootfs.ext2
|
|
├── u-boot.img
|
|
└── zImage
|
|
|
|
Setting up your SD card
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
*Important*: pay attention which partition you are modifying so you don't
|
|
accidentally erase the wrong file system, e.g your host computer or your
|
|
external storage!
|
|
|
|
In the default setup you need to create two partitions on your SD card:
|
|
a boot partition and a rootfs partition.
|
|
|
|
The ROM code from OMAP processors need the SD card to be formatted with
|
|
a special geometry in the partition table. To do that, you can use the
|
|
shell script below (this script was extracted from
|
|
http://elinux.org/Panda_How_to_MLO_%26_u-boot).
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
DRIVE=$1
|
|
if [ -b "$DRIVE" ] ; then
|
|
dd if=/dev/zero of=$DRIVE bs=1024 count=1024
|
|
SIZE=`fdisk -l $DRIVE | grep Disk | awk '{print $5}'`
|
|
echo DISK SIZE - $SIZE bytes
|
|
CYLINDERS=`echo $SIZE/255/63/512 | bc`
|
|
echo CYLINDERS - $CYLINDERS
|
|
{
|
|
echo ,9,0x0C,*
|
|
echo ,,,-
|
|
} | sfdisk -D -H 255 -S 63 -C $CYLINDERS $DRIVE
|
|
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n "boot" ${DRIVE}1
|
|
mke2fs -j -L "rootfs" ${DRIVE}2
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
The next step is to mount the sdcard's first partition and copy MLO
|
|
and u-boot.img to it.
|
|
|
|
$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/sdcard
|
|
$ sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/sdcard
|
|
$ sudo cp MLO u-boot.img /mnt/sdcard
|
|
$ sudo umount /mnt/sdcard
|
|
|
|
The last step is to copy the rootfs image to the sdcard's second
|
|
partition using 'dd':
|
|
|
|
$ sudo dd if=rootfs.ext2 of=/dev/sdX2 bs=1M conv=fsync
