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:
- Kernel related help:
- Email Beagleboard user group *Recommended method
- #beagle: Beagle irc on freenode, accessible also by web interface (logs)
- Kernel Tree's
- 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 Squeeze: export DIST=squeeze export ARCH=armel Beagle/Panda export BOARD=omap BeagleBone 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 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 oneiric: wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/oneiric/v3.0.8-x3/install-me.sh /bin/bash install-me.sh

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:
