Revision as of 15:06, 6 December 2012

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.

Note: Debian armel deb's are compiled for armv4t, this allows debian to support a larger number of arm devices with a single port, at only the sacrifice of speed.

Help

If you need any help:

  • 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

You will need a 1GB SD card or greater.

Standard System : ~455MB
+ Desktop environment (GNOME) : ~2.9GB

Debian Squeeze

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

Quick Install script for "board"

sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot "board" --distro squeeze

"board" Options:

  • BeagleBoard Ax/Bx - beagle_bx
  • BeagleBoard Cx - beagle_cx
  • BeagleBoard xMA/B/C - beagle_xm
  • BeagleBone Ax - bone
  • PandaBoard Ax - panda
  • PandaBoard ES - panda_es

So For the BeagleBoard xM:

sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot beagle_xm --distro squeeze
  • Options:
    • --uboot : beagle, panda, bone
    • --distro : squeeze
    • --firmware : installs firmware
    • --serial-mode : debian-installer uses Serial Port

NOTE: There is a bug in the USB Keyboard mapping, the debian-installer will initially fail, if and when the error occurs switch to the option "kernel keymap" and continue installing..

Beagleboard: NetInstall

Choose a language
 C - No localization
 English - English
Configure the network:
 usb0: USB net <- (usually the OTG port, but could also be the smsc95xx adapter on the beagle and panda)
 usb1: USB net <- (usually the smsc95xx adapter on the beagle and panda, when usb0 exist)
 eth0: Ethernet <- Your usb-ethernet device
 wlan0: Wifi <- Your usb-wifi device.. See BeagleBoardDebianWifiInstallInfo for my hack to set it up.

usb0 howto

There's a lot of question on irc about this, it might make sense to add a wiki page going thru with linux/winxp etc.. --RobertCNelson 00:55, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Configuring usb0 network bridge for 2.6.29:
 While you chose your keyboard layout, setup a bridge with ethX and usbX.
  # ifconfig ethX 0.0.0.0
  # ifconfig usbX 0.0.0.0
  # brctl addbr brX
  # brctl addif brX ethX
  # brctl addif brX usbX
  # ifconfig brX up
  # dhclient brX
 *Sometimes the first beagle DHCP will fail(probably due PC trying autoconnect), just run the auto configuration again and it will configure it right.
Continue the install without loading kernel modules? : <yes>
Partition disks: This partitioner doesn't have the inform.....? : <yes>
 Logical Volume Manager not available: <Continue>
Partition disks:
 Guided - Use the largest continuous free space
Partitioning scheme....

Example:

MMC/SD card #1 (mmcblk0) - 2.0 GB Unknown
>  #1 primary  57.5 MB     fat32
>  #2 primary   1.8 GB B f ext3  /
>  #5 logical 148.0 MB   f swap  swap
Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
 Write the changes to disk? : <yes>
No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources? : 
 Continue without installing a kernel? : <yes>
Standard System
No BootLoader: <ok>

Beagleboard: Install Latest Kernel

Script File:

Lenny:
wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/lenny/v2.6.39.3-old3/install-me.sh
sudo /bin/bash install-me.sh

export BOARD=omap-psp

wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/${DIST}-${ARCH}/LATEST-${BOARD}
wget $(cat ./LATEST-${BOARD} | grep STABLE | awk '{print $3}')
/bin/bash install-me.sh

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/v3.6.x -b v3.6.x
./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

DSP

DSP

gst-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

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

Xorg omapfb Drivers

By default Debian will try* to use the FBDEV video driver, however for the beagleboard we can take advantage of a more software optimized driver (still not using the sgx video hardware) using the NEON extensions of the Cortex-A8 core.

Lenny might need this xorg.conf, but it's best to use omapfb later in this guide..

/etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device" 
	Option		"UseFBDev"		"true"
	Driver		"fbdev"
EndSection

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep FBDEV

(II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev
(II) FBDEV(0): using default device
(II) FBDEV(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section
(==) FBDEV(0): Depth 16, (==) framebuffer bpp 16
(==) FBDEV(0): RGB weight 565

Login into Debian and open a new terminal, xorg has to be running..

Lenny:

wget -c http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/deb-sbuild/lenny/xorg-drivers/xserver-xorg-video-omap3_0.1.1-2_armel.deb
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-omap3_0.1.1-2_armel.deb

Squeeze/Sid:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-omap3

xorg.conf

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Device "Configured Video Device"
    #Limited by SGX?
    DefaultDepth 16
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    Driver "omapfb"
    Option "fb" "/dev/fb0"
EndSection

To verify it was correctly installed, reboot and:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep omapfb
