Revision as of 12:17, 23 August 2010

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

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

Squeeze has not been released, (Summer 2010) therefore nothing is promised etc...

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

Note: With 3_01_00_07 we don't have to register any more, the file is fully wget-able..

http://tigraphics.blogspot.com/2010/08/sgx-graphics-sdk-3010007-now-available.html.

Requirements: 2.6-stable from launchpad or 2.6.35.3-x1+ deb's from rcn-ee.net

On Successful install:

Starting PVR
Starting SGX fixup for ES2.x (or ES3.x) (or ES5.x xM)

Reboot for good measure (Maverick's Alpha-1 needs this....)

sudo reboot

tar xf GFX_Linux_SDK.tar.gz
cd GFX_Linux_SDK
tar xf OGLES.tar.gz

./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:

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
