This page is about running a (ARM EABI) Debian distribution at BeagleBoard. BeagleBoard will boot the (ARM EABI) Debian distribution from SD card. Debian's NetInstall will be used to install Debian onto your Beagle.

Help
If you need any help:
- Kernel related help:
- Email Beagleboard user group *Recommended method
- #beagle: Beagle irc on freenode, accessible also by web interface (logs)
- Kernel Tree's
- When asking for help, please provide some debugging information:
- U-Boot Version installed on board
- Kernel Version: uname -a
- pastebin dmesg
- Copy from serial port or use "dmesg | pastebinit" (sudo apt-get install pastebinit)
Recommended Beagle Software
Mainline U-Boot:
- All old Ax, Bx, Cx and Dx boards are required to upgrade to at least these U-Boot versions.
- XM Boards have no NAND, so MLO/u-boot.img is always required on the first partition
- Directions: Upgrade X-loader and U-Boot
Debian NetInstall
Scripts:
git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall.git cd netinstall
Device Options:
BeagleBoard --uboot beagle_cx BeagleBoard xM --uboot beagle_xm BeagleBone (serial) --uboot bone-serial BeagleBone (video via cape) --uboot bone-video BeagleBone Black --dtb am335x-boneblack PandaBoard --uboot panda PandaBoard ES --uboot panda_es
You will need a 1GB SD card or greater.
Standard System : ~455MB + Desktop environment (GNOME) : ~2.9GB
Debian Wheezy
Quick Install script for "board"
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot "board" --distro wheezy-armhf
So For the BeagleBoard xM:
sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot beagle_xm --distro wheezy-armhf
- Options:
- --firmware : installs firmware
- --serial-mode : debian-installer uses Serial Port

Flasher
eMMC: BeagleBone Black
This image can be written to a 1Gb (or greater) microSD card, via 'dd' in linux or the win32 image program linked to on CircuitCo's wiki page. First hold down on the boot select button (next to microSD card) and apply power (same procedure as the official CircuitCo images), it should boot into debian and begin flashing the eMMC, once completed all 4 LED's should be full ON... Simply remove power, remove microSDcard and Debian will now boot from eMMC.
Reference: (this is the script that writes to the eMMC)
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/tools/blob/master/scripts/beaglebone-black-copy-microSD-to-eMMC.sh
BTW: we are only writing about 500Mb's to the eMMC so the script will only take about 5-6 Minutes after power on.

SGX Video Acceleration
SGX armel/armhf v3.4.x+
- Note: This is a still a work in progress, but so far all the basic sgx demos seem to work on my Beagle xM C... Thanks to TI for the special armhf binaries!!! --RobertCNelson 19:48, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
- Test with: Precise/12.04 armhf demo image with v3.4.5-x1, desktop was lxde via: "sudo apt-get install lxde lxde-core lxde-icon-theme"
Re-Build Kernel and SGX Kernel Modules
git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel.git cd stable-kernel git checkout origin/v3.7.x -b tmp ./build_kernel.sh (and then follow the directions as the script runs...)
Build kernel
./build_kernel.sh
Build SGX modules
./sgx_build_modules.sh
Insert SD card, make sure to modify MMC in system.sh
./tools/install_image.sh
Place SD card into the device and boot...
cd /opt/sgx sudo tar xf GFX_4.0*_libs.tar.gz sudo ./install-sgx.sh
Reboot, check modules (lsmod):

SGX Legacy armel only upto v3.2.x
NOTE: this only works on BeagleBoard hardware, BeagleBone stuff is in development..
Requirements: stable-kernel (the Demo Images hosted on rcn-ee.net meet this requirement)
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel
Note: Due to a bug (seems to only effect older Beagle Bx/Cx boards, use v3.0.8-x3 based kernels)
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel/issues/8 oneiric: wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/oneiric/v3.0.8-x3/install-me.sh /bin/bash install-me.sh

DSP
gst-dsp
- Note: This section is BeagleBoard(-xM) only since the BeagleBone (Black) doesn't have a DSP.
The following Gstreamer elements will be installed:
$ gst-inspect | grep dsp dvdspu: dvdspu: Sub-picture Overlay dsp: dspdummy: DSP dummy element dsp: dspvdec: DSP video decoder dsp: dspadec: DSP audio decoder dsp: dsph263enc: DSP video encoder dsp: dspmp4venc: DSP MPEG-4 video encoder dsp: dspjpegenc: DSP video encoder dsp: dsph264enc: DSP video encoder dsp: dspvpp: DSP VPP filter dsp: dspipp: DSP IPP
Please note that h264 encoder (dsph264enc) will not work because of missing h264venc_sn.dll64P DSP part. According to this message, it is not available due to a licensing restriction.
Requirements: Kernel built with: "CONFIG_TIDSPBRIDGE=m", for reference, here is what rcn-ee.net's image/deb's are configured for:
ubuntu@arm:~$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep TIDSP CONFIG_TIDSPBRIDGE=m CONFIG_TIDSPBRIDGE_MEMPOOL_SIZE=0x600000 CONFIG_TIDSPBRIDGE_RECOVERY=y # CONFIG_TIDSPBRIDGE_CACHE_LINE_CHECK is not set # CONFIG_TIDSPBRIDGE_NTFY_PWRERR is not set # CONFIG_TIDSPBRIDGE_BACKTRACE is not set
On the xM: if 3.2.x is too jerky, try 3.4.x and use the create_dsp_package.sh script, as the module changed..
Download the latest version of the "create_dsp_package.sh" script
wget https://raw.github.com/RobertCNelson/tools/master/x86/ti_omap/create_dsp_package.sh
Make script executable
chmod a+x ./create_dsp_package.sh
Package script:
./create_dsp_package.sh

Building gst-dsp stuff:
If you installed this image via the demo images or netinstall, the gst-dsp build script is installed:
Update arm tools directory to the latest:
ubuntu@arm:~$ cd /boot/uboot/tools/ ubuntu@arm:/boot/uboot/tools$ sudo ./update.sh
Otherwise, install via git:
git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/tools.git
Change to the pkgs directory
ubuntu@arm:~$ cd /boot/uboot/tools/pkgs (or if just cloned) ubuntu@arm:~$ cd ~/tools/pkgs
Build gst-dsp stuff..
./ti-tidspbridge.sh
Start dspbridge (or just reboot)
sudo /etc/init.d/dsp_init start
Test dspbridge
sudo dsp-test
Playbin:
sudo gst-launch playbin2 uri=file://(file)
Example: (using http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/ 854x480 mp4 )
Note: it seems broken in Ubuntu precise armhf...
sudo gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:///home/USER/big_buck_bunny_480p_surround-fix.avi
