Revision as of 21:04, 28 September 2016

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 Trees

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
BeagleBoard-X15 --dtb am57xx-beagle-x15
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

Debian 8 (jessie)

Quick Install script for "board"

sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb "board" --distro jessie

So For the BeagleBoard xM:

sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb omap3-beagle-xm --distro jessie

Options:
- --firmware : installs firmware
- --serial-mode : debian-installer uses Serial Port

Unpack Image:

cd debian-8.6-console-armhf-2016-09-28

If you don't know the location of your SD card:

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --probe-mmc

You should see something like:

Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...

fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <- x86 Root Drive
Disk /dev/sdd: 3957 MB, 3957325824 bytes <- MMC/SD card

lsblk:
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0 446.9G  0 part /  <- x86 Root Partition
├─sda2   8:2    0     1K  0 part 
└─sda5   8:5    0  18.9G  0 part [SWAP]
sdd      8:48   1   3.7G  0 disk 
├─sdd1   8:49   1    64M  0 part 
└─sdd2   8:50   1   3.6G  0 part

In this example, we can see via mount, /dev/sda1 is the x86 rootfs, therefore /dev/sdd is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh...

Install Image:

Quick install script for [board]

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb board

board options:

BeagleBoard Ax/Bx/Cx/Dx - omap3-beagle
BeagleBoard xM - omap3-beagle-xm
BeagleBone White/Black/Green - beaglebone
OMAP5432 uEVM - omap5-uevm
BeagleBoard-X15 - am57xx-beagle-x15

So for the BeagleBoard xM:

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb omap3-beagle-xm

Advanced: Build Image:

Flasher

eMMC: BeagleBone Black/Green

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. On bootup the board should indicate it has started the flashing procedure visually via a Cylon Sweep pattern shown on the 4 LED's next to the ethernet jack. Progress is reported on both the serial debug and hdmi connectors, 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-v3.sh

This 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.

-Recommended: Select Guided - Use the largest continuous free space
+You should see something like:
-Example:
+ Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...
-  Partition #2 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) as ext3
-  Partition #5 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) as swap
+ fdisk -l:
+  Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes '''<- x86 Root Drive'''

- Continue without installing a kernel? : <yes>
+* In this example, we can see via mount, '''/dev/sda1''' is the x86 rootfs, therefore '''/dev/sdd''' is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh...

+ sudo apt-get install linux-image-armmp
-* Console log = Serial Terminal
+Reboot with your new Kernel Image.
-* User Console = HDMI port + usb (keyboard, mouse, etc)
-If you want to log in with the serial port, you will have to add to /etc/inittab
+== Xorg Drivers ==
-  S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS2
-And if you want to log in as root on the serial port, add ttyS2 to /etc/securetty.
+Script:
+ cd /opt/scripts/tools/
+ git pull
-===Xorg===
+BeagleBoard/PandaBoard:
-Modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf
+ cd /opt/scripts/tools/graphics/
-  Section "Device"
+  ./ti-omapdrm.sh
- 	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
- 	Option		"UseFBDev"		"true"
- 	Driver		"fbdev"
- EndSection
-[[Image:Beagleboarddebian-GNOME.jpg]]
+BeagleBone/BeagleBone Black:
+ cd /opt/scripts/tools/graphics/
+ ./ti-tilcdc.sh
-Note: '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.
+== SGX Drivers ==
-=Current Issues=
+=== SGX BeagleBone/BeagleBone Black ===
-#Swap disabled: change /dev/hda5 -> /dev/mmcblk0p5 in /etc/fstab (artifact of qemu install to /dev/hdaX)
+Note, these are FBDEV only, no xorg/x11/etc...
-#RTC seems to be not enabled: use ntpdate when ethernet works, or issue date MMDDHHMMYYYY
-=Building a Native Debian Kernel with QEMU=
+Install the "4.1.x" lts/bone kernel:
+http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#Mainline_.28lts.29
-==Install Dependencies==
+Build SGX userspace for 4.1.x (must be done on an x86, due to the TI 5.01.01.02 blob extractor)
+  git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git
-  apt-get install git-core kernel-package fakeroot build-essential curl libncurses-dev
+  cd bb-kernel/
+ git checkout origin/am33x-v4.1 -b tmp-sgx
+ ./sgx_create_package.sh
-==u-boot==
+Copy ./deploy/GFX_5.01.01.02.tar.gz to BeagleBone/BeagleBone Black and install
+ sudo tar xfv GFX_5.01.01.02.tar.gz -C /
+ cd /opt/gfxinstall/
+ sudo ./sgx-install.sh
+ sudo reboot
-There is a debian package for this now:
+Verify omaplfb & pvrsrvkm loaded
-  apt-get install uboot-mkimage
+ debian@arm:~$ lsmod | grep omaplfb
+ omaplfb                12065  0
+  pvrsrvkm              178782  1 omaplfb
-If you must build from upstream:
