Random hacking notes for getting Fedora 10 to kinda work with the BeagleBoard. ;)

and use one of my CC* images.. http://www.rcn-ee.com/deb/kernel/

Patches: http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:83/fedora-patches/

patch fedora 10 root file system

Note: patch isn't installed, so patch these before you boot for the first time.

rpm

Note; this can be improved by patching rpm directly and rebuilding, however just to get things running for the moment it is fine.

Recommended Tools to have Downloaded before First boot

dhclient = http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/arm/os/Packages/dhclient-4.0.0-30.fc10.armv5tel.rpm

wget = http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/arm/os/Packages/wget-1.11.4-1.fc10.armv5tel.rpm

nano = http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/fedora/fc10.0/RPMS/armv7l/nano-2.0.6-4.fc10.armv7l.rpm

u-boot

50Mb Fat32 Partition (should be the first partition, use gparted)

cd /media/disk/
wget http://www.rcn-ee.com/deb/kernel/CC-v2.6.28-79d042a-oer14
mv CC-v2.6.28-79d042a-oer14 uImage

mmc card

uboot parameters:

setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000'
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=2 rootfstype=ext3 ro omap-dss.def_disp=lcd omapfb.video_mode=1280x720MR-24@60'
saveenv
boot

external usb 2.0 drive (/dev/sda1)

uboot parameters:

setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000'
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 rootfstype=ext3 ro omap-dss.def_disp=lcd omapfb.video_mode=1280x720MR-24@60'
saveenv
boot

Note: Useful for saving your mmc cards

Building packages

in most cases build your packages for armv5... (not everything works when built as armv7l)

rpmbuild -ba --target armv5tel dejagnu.spec


armv7l

Note; this is just my first pass at rebuilding all rpm's, so things are bound to break, and they will, and they have. So only dive in head first if you don't mind.

Add to fedora.repo
