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.

Debian NetInstall
Development PC: Format SD Card
Planning to remove this section, pending Squeeze's Release...
You will need a 1GB SD card or greater.
Standard System : ~455MB + Desktop environment (GNOME) : ~2.9GB
Starting with an empty SD card and using gparted, create:
50 MiB Primary Partition, fat32 Leave remaining space for the Debian-Installer
Development PC: Setup SD U-boot Partition
Mount your SD card fat32 partition. (/media/disk/)
Debian Lenny
cd /media/disk/ sudo wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/CC-beagle-v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer44.1.uImage sudo wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-armel/current/images/versatile/netboot/initrd.gz sudo mv CC-beagle-v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer44.1.uImage uImage sudo gzip -d initrd.gz sudo dd if=initrd of=initrd.pad ibs=8388608 conv=sync
Create U-boot boot script for netinstall:
Debian Install over DVI Port
sudo nano netinstall.cmd setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; fatload mmc 0:1 0x81600000 initrd.pad; bootm 0x80300000' setenv bootargs 'console=tty0 ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0 rw rootfstype=ext2 initrd=0x81600000,8M omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60' boot
Debian Install over the Serial Port
sudo nano netinstall.cmd setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; fatload mmc 0:1 0x81600000 initrd.pad; bootm 0x80300000' setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0 rw rootfstype=ext2 initrd=0x81600000,8M' boot
Create U-boot *.scr file:
sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "Debian Lenny" -d ./netinstall.cmd ./boot.scr
Sync and Unmount your mmc card and boot the beagle, it should find the 'boot.scr' file on your first partition while booting.
Debian Squeeze
(Testing Release Summer 2010?)
Note: Squeeze hasn't been released, so if you get an error, retry in a couple hours..
https://code.launchpad.net/~beagleboard-kernel/+junk/debian-di bzr branch lp:~beagleboard-kernel/+junk/debian-di cd debian-di ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --distro squeeze --firmware
- Options:
- --distro : squeeze, lucid
- --firmware : installs firmware
- --serial-mode : debian-installer uses Serial Port
Note: The default options work for most people, but if you'd like to tweak boot settings, edit these before running the script.
NetInstall boot Settings: gedit ./debian-di/scripts/dvi.cmd gedit ./debian-di/scripts/serial.cmd Normal Boot Settings: gedit ./debian-di/scripts/dvi-normal-squeeze.cmd gedit ./debian-di/scripts/serial-normal-squeeze.cmd
Beagleboard: NetInstall
Choose a language C - No localization English - English
Configure the network: usb0: USB net <- See below for 2.6.29. Could not find usb0 with B7 installing 2.6.28. 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>
Development PC: Setup U-boot for Normal Boot
Planning to remove this section, pending Squeeze's Release... I moved the relevant data to: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#U-boot_Scripts
Create a U-boot normal boot script:
DVI Port sudo nano normal.cmd setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000' setenv bootargs 'console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rootfstype=ext3 ro omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60' boot
Serial Port sudo nano normal.cmd setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000' setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rootfstype=ext3 ro' boot
Create U-boot *.scr file:
sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "Debian Lenny" -d ./normal.cmd ./boot.scr
Debian will fix the ext3 partition, it'll try to reboot, after halting remove and reapply power.
Beagleboard: Install Latest Kernel
Script File:
Lenny: wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/lenny/v2.6.32.11-x13/install-me.sh sudo /bin/bash install-me.sh Squeeze: wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/squeeze/v2.6.32.11-x13/install-me.sh sudo /bin/bash install-me.sh
Reboot with your new Kernel
Debian Configuration
U-boot Scripts
Create a U-boot normal boot script:
DVI Port sudo nano normal.cmd setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000' setenv bootargs 'console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rootfstype=ext3 ro omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60' boot
Serial Port sudo nano normal.cmd setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000' setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rootfstype=ext3 ro' boot
Create U-boot *.scr file:
sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "Debian Lenny" -d ./normal.cmd ./boot.scr
Debian will fix the ext3 partition, it'll try to reboot, after halting remove and reapply power.
Serial Ports
Lenny
edit /etc/inittab and add:
S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS2
For root access over the serial port add ttyS2 to /etc/securetty
WiFi
See BeagleBoard Debian WiFi install info.
SGX Video Acceleration
Use a "corporate email" and download the latest (3.01.00.02):
http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/gfxsdk/latest/index_FDS.html
Kernel Modules
Use the "build_sgx_module.sh" script in 2.6-stable, module source is now in the *.bin
https://code.launchpad.net/~beagleboard-kernel/+junk/2.6-stable
Copy the *.uImage and extract the matching *.modules.tar.gz from the deploy directory to your SD card.
Copy the GFX_Linux_SDK.tar.gz examples to either your SD card or another media (large file) then boot your omap board.
Run depmod:
sudo depmod -a omaplfb
Tweak System Libraries:
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6.0.0 /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.0 sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libXau.so.6.0.0 /usr/lib/libXau.so.0
Startup Script
For 3.01.00.02
Lenny:
sudo nano /etc/rcS.d/S60pvr.sh sudo chmod +x /etc/rcS.d/S60pvr.sh
Squeeze: (probally lenny too)
sudo nano /etc/init.d/pvr sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/pvr sudo update-rc.d pvr defaults

cd OGLES/SDKPackage/Binaries/CommonX11/Demos/ChameleonMan ./OGLESChameleonMan
Trouble Shooting
sudo rm /etc/powervr-esrev sudo depmod -a omaplfb sudo /etc/init.d/pvr restart
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:
