By default, the kernel for APF28 is the 2.6.35 version (from Freescale BSP).
Migration to Mainline (3.1x+) is in progress but not finished, this article explains how to use (test) these kernels with latest armadeus master branch.
Mainline support is done with Device Tree.
Contents
Lazy guys instructions
- Get the latest master version with command :
$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/armadeus/code armadeus-master
- Configure the view for APF28 "mainline" :
$ cd armadeus-master $ make apf28mainline_defconfig
- Update your board:
BIOS> run update_uboot; reset BIOS> run flash_reset_env; reset BIOS> setenv fdt_addr_r 41000000 BIOS> setenv consoledev ttyAMA0 BIOS> saveenv BIOS> run update_dtb BIOS> run update_kernel BIOS> run update_rootfs
For the one who wants to know the details
- Get the latest master branch version with command :
$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/armadeus/code armadeus-master
- Configure the view for APF28 :
$ cd armadeus-master $ make apf28_defconfig
- On menuconfig select :
Toolchain ---> Kernel Headers (Linux 2.6 (manually specified version)) ---> (3.8) linux version ... System configuration ---> (ttyAMA0) Port to run a getty (login prompt) on ... Kernel ---> (3.8) Kernel version (40008000) load address (for 3.7+ multi-platform image) (../patches/linux/$(BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION)) Custom kernel patches (imx28-apf28dev) Device Tree Source file names
- Then build :
$ make
U-Boot modification
- Linux nand driver has changed on kernel 3.8, then U-Boot code must be modified to match it (maybe now no more needed, since 3.12 ??).
- Edit file :
buildroot/target/device/armadeus/apf28/apf28-u-boot-2013.04.h
- And change line 153:
#define CONFIG_MTDMAP "gpmi-nand"
- Then re-build U-Boot:
make uboot-dirclean; make uboot;
- you will have to reflash U-Boot on your APF28 and probably cleanup your environment variables:
BIOS> run flash_reset_env
- Serial port used for console has now a different name: ttyAMA0. So if you want to see something on your serial console please do the following before booting:
BIOS> setenv consoledev ttyAMA0
- Kernel 3.8 use device tree, then this paramter must be set too:
BIOS> setenv fdt_addr_r 41000000 BIOS> saveenv
- To boot with NFS boot use:
BIOS> run nfsboot
- But nand boot work now, just don't forget to update the dtb (if you run update_all it's already done):
BIOS> run update_dtb BIOS> boot
Which devices are supported ?
