CMake
CMake infrastructure has been integrated in Buildroot since the BR release 2011.02 (available in Armadeus SDK since the armadeus-4.1 release).

Armadeus-4.0 uses the Buildroot 2010.11 release

Armadeus-4.1 uses the Buildroot 2011.05 release

Cross-compile OpenCV for your APF
Already in Buildroot since the BR release 2011.11 (requires CMake infrastructure).

How to build an Armadeus rootfs with a Buildroot more recent than the one used by the official Armadeus SDK. !!! Experimental !!!

Tips

A colored (and useful) prompt

zsh and ctafconf users won't be lost ;-)

u-boot configuration

  1. nfs-boot (kernel and rootfs), if the nfs server is alive
  2. boot from the NAND flash, otherwise

u-boot environment

BIOS> setenv nfsboot 'setenv bootargs ${console} ${mtdparts}; \
 run addnfsargs addipargs; \
 setenv autostart yes; \
 nfs ${loadaddr} {serverip}:${rootpath}/${board_name}-linux.bin; \
 bootm'
BIOS> setenv addnfsargs 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath}'
BIOS> setenv addipargs 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off'
BIOS> setenv bootcmd 'if ping ${serverip}; then \
  echo; \
  echo Boot over NFS; \
  echo; \
  run nfsboot; \
 else \
  echo; \
  echo Boot from the board;  \
  run jffsboot; \
 fi'
BIOS> setenv board_name apf27
BIOS> setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
BIOS> setenv serverip 192.168.10.2
BIOS> setenv gatewayip 192.168.10.1
BIOS> setenv ipaddr 192.168.10.10
BIOS> setenv rootpath /path/to/where/you/untar/your/rootfs
BIOS> saveenv
BIOS> boot

Adjust the bootdelay if needed.

Next boot will automatically try to boot over NFS, then fallback on the NAND flash

Warning Warning:

If the NFS server is alive, but neither the linux kernel image nor the rootfs are NOT at the expected location: /path/to/where/you/untar/your/rootfs,

the boot will hang up, so booting will fail !


NFS server configuration

Refer to the NFS wiki page to setting the NFS server up.

Note Note: Check that the NFS server configuration allows NFS v2 request.

On Archlinux: /etc/conf.d/nfs-server (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFS#Configure_NFS_fixed_ports)

#MOUNTD_OPTS="--no-nfs-version 2"
MOUNTD_OPTS=""


Then:

  • untar the rootfs tarball in /path/to/where/you/untar/your/rootfs
  • copy the linux kernel image to /path/to/where/you/untar/your/rootfs
sudo tar xvf apf27-rootfs.tar -C /path/to/where/you/untar/your/rootfs
sudo -fv cp apf27-linux.bin /path/to/where/you/untar/your/rootfs
