These are notes are based on [https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/blob/6682025752d0b807119c1e363a0b1b9bfe2ab453/README.md Beagleboard kernel git site].

First download the tools needed to compile the kernel.  This took about 25 seconds.

  host$ '''sudo apt-get install -y git lzop gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi uboot-mkimage'''

Next download the tools to get the kernel and the patches needed to make it run on the beagle. (2.5 seconds)

 +
I fixed this error by editing <code>linux-dev/tools/host_det.sh</code> and commenting out the line:
 +
# dpkg -l | grep libncurses5-dev | grep ${deb_arch} >/dev/null || deb_pkgs="${deb_pkgs}libncurses5-dev "
 +
It was looking for amd64 in the <code>dpkg -l</code> listing and it wasn't appearing.
  
Next download the kernel and the patches.  Before running '''./patch/sh''', take a look at it.  Can you figure out what it's doing?  Also look at '''patch_script.sh''', it's where the details are. The downloading/patching process takes some 39 minutes.
+
Now install by inserting the SD to be installed on into your host machine and run:
  host$ '''gedit patch.sh patch_script.sh'''
+
  host$ ./tools/install_kernel.sh
host$ '''./patch.sh'''
 
  
Once patched you are ready to compile the kernel.  The first time takes a while.  Mine tool 4 minutes, but I was running on 8 cores.  Set the '''-j''X'' ''' to match the number of cores you have. '''uImage''' is the kernel!
+
Mine failed because there wasn't enough space on the VFAT partition for uImage, however uImage isn't needed there, so I just editted <code>install_kernel.sh</code> and commented out line '''160'''
  host$ '''make -j9'''
+
  # mmc_partition_discover
host$ '''make uImage'''
+
This keeps it from installing on the VFAT partition.
  
You also need all the kernel modules.  Here we create a directory to install them in. (a few seconds)
+
=== Minimal Ubuntu Build ===
host$ '''mkdir rootfs'''
 
host$ '''make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=rootfs modules_install'''
 
  
Copy the kernel and the modules to the Beagle. (a minute or so)

See EBC Exercise 08 Installing Development Tools 3.2 if you are working with the 3.2 kernel.

Early in the class most of the exercises we will do will all run on the BeagleBoard. You'll be able to edit (gedit), compile (gcc) and run all on the Beagle. Later, when we start compiling the kernel [1] or the boot loader, (U-boot) you will need to cross compile on a Linux machine and copy the results to the Beagle.

The purpose of this exercise is to install all the tools needed for compiling on your host so they will be ready when you need them.

Instructions for building Ångström are given here; however there are a few changes you have to make. Here's what I did.

Tip: Run this exercise using a wired connection if you can. The Ubuntu wireless driver can be finicky, and if it stops working you'll have to restart some of this.

The 3.8 Kernel

3.8 Kernel

Make sure you installed the cross compiler (EBC Exercise 08a Cross-Compiling) before doing this exercise.

Note taken from Beaglebone: Adding USB Wi-Fi & Building a Linux Kernel starting around 4 minutes and ending around 21 minutes. Uses kernel from Robert C. Nelson's BeagleBone page.

host$ git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev.git
host$ git git checkout origin/am33x-v3.8 -b am33x-v3.8
host$ time git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git  (21 minutes)
host$ cp system.sh.sample system.sh.sample
host$ diff system.sh*

Now get some more tools.

host$ sudo apt-get install -y uboot-tools ccache libncurses5-dev
host$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
host$ sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler lzop u-boot-tools ia32-libs

Then build the kernel.

host$ ./build_kernel.sh
+ Detected build host [Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS]
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint: missing dependicies, please install:
-----------------------------
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev 
-----------------------------
* Failed dependency check

I fixed this error by editing linux-dev/tools/host_det.sh and commenting out the line:

#	dpkg -l | grep libncurses5-dev | grep ${deb_arch} >/dev/null || deb_pkgs="${deb_pkgs}libncurses5-dev "

It was looking for amd64 in the dpkg -l listing and it wasn't appearing.

Now install by inserting the SD to be installed on into your host machine and run:

host$ ./tools/install_kernel.sh

Mine failed because there wasn't enough space on the VFAT partition for uImage, however uImage isn't needed there, so I just editted install_kernel.sh and commented out line 160

#			mmc_partition_discover

This keeps it from installing on the VFAT partition.

Minimal Ubuntu Build

(The video says rcn-ee.net/deb/rootfs/oneiric, but it isn't there.)

host$ wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/rootfs/raring/ubuntu-raring-console-armhf-2013-03-28.tar.xz
host$ xz -d ubuntu-raring-console-armhf-2013-03-28.tar.xz
host$ tar -xf ubuntu-raring-console-armhf-2013-03-28.tar

Put the SD card in a reader for your host and...

host$ ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdc --uboot bone

Ians notes: The builds are being updated constantly, so go to http://rcn-ee.net/deb/rootfs/raring/ and find the latest build.

DAS U-boot

These instructions came from Robert C Nelson's eewiki.net.

download

While we're at it, let's get the boot loader we'll be using. It takes some 40 seconds.

host$ cd ~/BeagleBoard
host$ git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
host$ cd u-boot/
host$ git checkout v2013.04 -b tmp

U-Boot Patches

host$ wget https://raw.github.com/eewiki/u-boot-patches/master/v2013.04/0001-am335x_evm-uEnv.txt-bootz-n-fixes.patch
host$ patch -p1 < 0001-am335x_evm-uEnv.txt-bootz-n-fixes.patch

compile

Now configure and build. The first time takes some 1.5 minutes. After that it's only 5 seconds or so.

host$ source ~/crossCompileEnv.sh 
host$ make distclean
host$ make am335x_evm_config
host$ make

install

host$ scp u-boot.img root@beagle:.
beagle$ mkdir /media/mmcblk0p1
beagle$ mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmcblk0p1
beagle$ cd /media/mmcblk0p1
beagle$ mv u-boot.img u-boot.img.orig  # Save the working u-boot
beagle$ cp ~/u-boot.img u-boot.img.new
beagle$ cp u-boot.img.new u-boot.img

Once installed you are ready for u-boot work.
