Revision as of 15:09, 14 August 2014

This page is about running a (ARM EABIhf) Debian distribution at BeagleBoard. BeagleBoard will boot the (ARM EABIhf) 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
  - v3.14.x kernel branch
  - Development Kernel source code

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)

Official BeagleBoard.org Images for shipping with BeagleBone Black

http://beagleboard.org/source

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 https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall.git
cd netinstall

Device Options:

BeagleBoard --dtb omap3-beagle
BeagleBoard xM --dtb omap3-beagle-xm
BeagleBone (serial) --dtb am335x-bone-serial
BeagleBone (video via cape) --dtb am335x-bone-video
BeagleBone Black --dtb am335x-boneblack
PandaBoard (A1->A3) --dtb omap4-panda
PandaBoard (A4->Ax) --dtb omap4-panda-a4
PandaBoard ES  --dtb omap4-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 --dtb "board" --distro wheezy-armhf

So For the BeagleBoard xM:

sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb omap3-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 2GB (or larger) microSD card, via 'dd' on linux or on windows: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager First press and hold the boot select button (next to the microSD card), then apply power (same procedure as the official CircuitCo images). The board should boot into Debian and begin flashing the eMMC, once completed all 4 LED's should be full ON. Simply remove power, remove the microSD card and Debian will now boot directly from eMMC.

Script for reference: (this is the script that writes to the eMMC)

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v2.sh

BTW: we are only writing about 500 megabytes to the eMMC, so the script will only take about 5-6 Minutes after power on.

Notes:

If only two LED's stay lit and nothing happens, the board has crashed due to lack of power. Retry with a 5Volt DC power supply connected.
If the 4 LED's blink a constant pattern, the eMMC write has failed. First REMOVE ALL capes, then retry again.
- (error -84: which may mean you've reached the max number of erase/write cycles...)

Debian Configuration

Serial Ports

To start a login console on ttyO2 (the serial header next to P9), edit /etc/inittab and add:

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyO2 115200 vt102

To start a console on the USB ACM device, add the following to /etc/inittab,

GS0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyGS0 115200 vt102

Install Latest Kernel Image

Script:

cd /opt/scripts/tools
git pull

Stable:

./update_kernel.sh

Testing:

./update_kernel.sh --beta-kernel

Custom: (has to be on rcn-ee.net)

./update_kernel.sh --kernel v3.8.13-bone59

Reboot with your new Kernel Image.

Xorg Drivers

Script:

cd /opt/scripts/tools/
git pull

BeagleBoard/PandaBoard:

cd /opt/scripts/tools/graphics/
./ti-omapdrm.sh

BeagleBone/BeagleBone Black:

cd /opt/scripts/tools/graphics/
./ti-tilcdc.sh

SGX Drivers

SGX BeagleBone/BeagleBone Black

Note, these are FBDEV only, no xorg/x11/etc...

Install "special" Kernel

cd /opt/scripts/tools
git pull
sudo ./update_kernel.sh --kernel v3.15.8-bone6

Build SGX modules/userspace (must be done on an x86, due to the TI 5.01.01.01 blob extractor)

git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git
cd bb-kernel/
git checkout origin/am33x-v3.15 -b tmp-sgx
./build_kernel.sh
./sgx_build_modules.sh

sudo tar xfv GFX_5.01.01.01.tar.gz -C /
cd /opt/gfxinstall/
sudo ./sgx-install.sh
sudo reboot

Verify omaplfb & pvrsrvkm loaded

debian@arm:~$ lsmod | grep omaplfb
omaplfb                12065  0 
pvrsrvkm              178782  1 omaplfb

-#'fbdev' is normally *slow* since it completely relies on the system cpu to update the framebuffer.  Once the video processing core's driver is released this will no longer be an issue.
-# Debian/Gnome actually need the swap to run (up to 90Mo of swap space on my beagle with 128Mo RAM shipped on it) so that it's even slower when using the SD card (try using an external hdd disk).

-== Normal Kernel Build ==
-Warning: This section can be quite old at times, but lots of people still use it (download wise off my site) so i'm bumping this to a relatively stable checkout: 2.6.29-oer34 (and it actually works...)... However note, the PR variable is used differently in 2.6.29+ kernels...
-Note, this is done native on the BeagleBoard...
-GIT Checkout, Beagleboard patches, and defconfig.
-Requires:
-  sudo aptitude install git-core gcc wget kernel-package fakeroot build-essential
-For this example lets look at: http://cgit.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi?url=openembedded/commit/&id=d962d391fab15d5fb7d9965b05b161da6d4d1157
-http://cgit.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi?url=openembedded/tree/conf/machine/include/omap3.inc&id=d962d391fab15d5fb7d9965b05b161da6d4d1157 -> "oer34"
-http://cgit.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi?url=openembedded/tree/recipes/linux/linux-omap_2.6.29.bb&id=d962d391fab15d5fb7d9965b05b161da6d4d1157 -> "GIT" and "PATCHES"
-All build that i do are logged in the build folders: http://www.rcn-ee.com/deb/kernel/beagle/lenny/v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer34/changes.txt
-(easier to mainitain then the old way)
-===Retrieve the GIT checkout===
-GIT Checkout: 58cf2f1425abfd3a449f9fe985e48be2d2555022 or Shorthand: 58cf2f1
- git-clone git://git2.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git
- cd linux-omap-2.6/
- or if you already downloaded it..
- cd linux-omap-2.6/
   git pull
+  sudo ./update_kernel.sh --kernel v3.15.8-bone6
- git checkout 58cf2f1 -b v2.6.29-58cf2f1
- git archive --format=tar --prefix=v2.6.29-58cf2f1/ v2.6.29-58cf2f1 | gzip > ../v2.6.29-58cf2f1.tar.gz
- git checkout master
- git branch v2.6.29-58cf2f1 -D
- cd ..
-===Copy patches and defconfig===
-Open linux-omap**.bb: http://cgit.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi?url=openembedded/tree/recipes/linux/linux-omap_2.6.29.bb&id=d962d391fab15d5fb7d9965b05b161da6d4d1157
-This contains 50+ patches need to form a specific (oe) Openembedded release, too keep things neat and simple for my beagle builder, I'll usually combine this into a single diff located here along with the defconfig. http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/omap/beagle/v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer34/
- wget http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/omap/beagle/v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer34/v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer34.diff

-=== Build uImage ===
-Extract Kernel Source
+Build SGX modules/userspace (must be done on an x86, due to the TI 5.01.01.01 blob extractor)
-  tar -xf v2.6.29-58cf2f1.tar.gz
+  git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git

-  patch -p1 < ../v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer34.diff
+  sudo tar xfv GFX_5.01.01.01.tar.gz -C /
+ cd /opt/gfxinstall/
+ sudo ./sgx-install.sh
+ sudo reboot
-Copy Defconfig
+Verify omaplfb & pvrsrvkm loaded
-  cp ../defconfig .config
+  debian@arm:~$ lsmod | grep omaplfb
+ omaplfb                12065  0
