EugeneR: Installed to Mandriva 2006 too

'''How-To install Armadeus Software Development Kit (SDK) on Linux systems.'''

The installation was successfully tested on the following distributions:
* Debian Sarge & Etch
* Fedora Core 3 & 4
* SuSE 10.1
* Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.04)
* Kubuntu & Xubuntu Edgy Eft (6.10)
* KUbuntu Gusty Gibbon (7.10)
* Mandriva 2006

==Prerequisites for Linux installation==

Depending on your distribution, some additional packages are required. For Debian based system, you can use the following command to get them:
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf automake bison flex g++ gettext libncurses5-dev liblzo1 liblzo-dev liblzo2-2 liblzo2-dev \
patch subversion texinfo wget zlib1g-dev libacl1 libacl1-dev libtool

Then, open a shell and follow this procedure:

==Get Armadeus software==
* If you are a "carefull" user:
then download the latest stable installation tarball from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/armadeus and detar it wherever you want.
$ tar xjvf armadeusArchiveName.tar.bz2
* If you are a hacker or a registered developper, check out the required files from the SVN repository:
$ svn co https://armadeus.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/armadeus/trunk armadeus
A directory named ''armadeus/'' will be created on your hard-disk and will contain all the files you need.

'''Remarks''':
* '''Do not use spaces''' in the directory name !
* SVN write/commit accesses are limited to the integrators ([[User:JulienB]], [[User:Salocin68]], [[User:Jorasse]])

==Configure SDK options==
$ cd armadeus/
$ make menuconfig (or just make the first time).
This will launch Buildroot configuration. [[Image:Menuconfig.jpg]] 
If you are not familiar with Buildroot here are some tips:
* you can move the highlighted item with the "up"/"down" arrow keys
* with the "left"/"right" arrow keys you can choose between "Select", "Exit" or "Help" buttons
* "space"/"enter":
** selects the currently highlighted item if you are on the "Select" button
** go back in previous menu if you are on "Exit" button
** show you some Help for current item if you are on "Help" button
* for more Help about Buildroot commands, select "Help" in the main configuration screen
 
In ''Target options ---> Armadeus Device Support'' menu, select your Armadeus board (apf/apm9328), the RAM size (16/32MB) and so on... '''Default values should be fine if you have an APF9328 with 8Mbytes FLASH'''
* You may decrease the compilation time by increasing the number of parallel jobs running simultaneously on your system (the result is not guaranteed). This option is located in ''Build Options ---> (1) Number of jobs to run simultaneously'' menu.
* The toolchain is built automatically. During this procedure, several files are downloaded from Internet. The downloaded files are put by default in the ''armadeus/downloads/'' directory. '''If you have several views or plan to build the toolchain several times, we advise you to put all the downloaded files in ''/local/downloads'' (for example). This is done by configuring Buildroot to use this directory for all your views: ''Build options ---> Download dir''.'''

[[Image:Build_config_download.png]]

We advise you too to burn a CD-Rom with all the files in ''downloads/'' in case you want to install the development tools on several systems.

* Exit the configuration tool and save your configuration

==Launch build==
$ make
The toolchain is built automatically. During this procedure, several files are downloaded from Internet. Please wait for a while.... it takes at least one hour for the first run! 
The downloaded files are put by default in the ''armadeus/downloads/'' directory. '''If you have several views we advise you to put all the downloaded files in ''/local/armadeus/downloads'' (for example) by configuring Buildroot to use this directory for all your views: ''Build options ---> Download dir''.''' 
We advise you too to burn a CD-Rom with all the files in ''downloads/'' in case you want to install the development tools on several systems.

==Enjoy the result==
The generated binary files can be found in the subdirectory ''buildroot/binaries/armadeus/'':

* '''u-boot.brec''' (BRecord image that can be used with the bootstrap, if U-Boot is not installed or not working, see [[BootLoader]] page)
* '''u-boot.bin''' (U-Boot image file for use with U-Boot itself, see [[BootLoader#Update_U-Boot | updating U-Boot]])
* '''linux-kernel-2.6.xx-arm.bin''' (Linux image to use with U-Boot, see [[Target_Software_Installation#Linux_kernel_installation | InstallLinux]])
* '''rootfs.arm.jffs2''' (FileSystem/RootFS image to use with U-Boot, see [[Target_Software_Installation#Linux_rootfs_installation | RootFS flashing]])
* '''rootfs.arm.tar''' (for an NFS/MMC RootFS, see RootNFS? & [[MultiMediaCard#Booting_from_MMC.2FSD | Booting from a MMC/SD]])

==To keep your copy up-to-date with the armadeus SVN repository==
$ svn update
This will update your working directory to the latest release.

Note: if "svn update" fails because a directory or a file already exists, then do:
$ rm -rf <this-directory/file>
$ svn update

You can do a:
$ make defconfig
to have the latest features automatically activated and a
$ make menuconfig
to set again your personnal parameters (SDRAM size...).

You have to do a '''make''' to rebuild binary files and then upload the binary files to your target.

Note: if definitively everything goes wrong while it worked before the last update.
You can apply the following procedure (all your modifications in buildroot will be lost):
$ rm -rf buildroot/
$ rm Makefile
$ svn update
$ make
$ make

Enjoy!
