| = Release Content =
| |
| | |
| This release has the below content - Kernel and Drivers tested with VAR-SOM-OM44 and verified with Jelly Bean UI - A9 source code for accelerating Video
| |
| | |
| = Build Instructions =
| |
| | |
| === Setting up build environment ===
| |
| | |
| From your work directory (where your 4AJ.2.2 directory resides): <br>
| |
| <pre>$ export YOUR_PATH=`pwd`
| |
| $ export MYDROID=${YOUR_PATH}/mydroid
| |
| $ export PATH=$PATH:${MYDROID}/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/
| |
| $ mkdir ${MYDROID}/logs
| |
| $ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
| |
| $ export PATH=${YOUR_PATH}/u-boot/tools:$PATH
| |
| </pre>
| |
| === Building U-BOOT ===
| |
| <pre>$ cd ${YOUR_PATH}/u-boot
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm distclean
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm omap4460dart_evm_config # To build u-boot for DART EVM
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm omap4460dart_board_config # To build u-boot for DART Board
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm 2>&1 |tee ${MYDROID}/logs/u-boot_make.out
| |
| </pre>
| |
| === Building X-LOADER ===
| |
| <pre>$ cd ${YOUR_PATH}/x-loader
| |
| $ make distclean
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm omap4460dart_config
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm ift 2>&1 |tee ${MYDROID}/logs/x-loader_make.out</pre>
| |
| === Building Kernel ===
| |
| | |
| ''Note: If you are building for a GP device it is recommended not to build the SMC kernel driver''. <br> To create kernel uImage you need to add "mkimage" directory path to your "PATH" environment variable:
| |
| <pre>$ cd ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-3.0
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm distclean
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm dart_defconfig
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm uImage 2>&1 |tee ${MYDROID}/logs/kernel_make.out
| |
| </pre>
| |
| === Building Kernel modules ===
| |
| <pre>$ make ARCH=arm modules 2>&1 |tee ${MYDROID}/logs/kernel_modules.out
| |
| </pre>
| |
| === Building WLAN driver ===
| |
| <pre>$ cd ${MYDROID}/hardware/ti/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx
| |
| $ export KERNEL_DIR=${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-3.0
| |
| $ export KLIB=${KERNEL_DIR}
| |
| $ export KLIB_BUILD=${KERNEL_DIR}
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm 2>&1 |tee ${MYDROID}/logs/wlan_modules.out
| |
| </pre>
| |
| The above step will produce the following kernel WLAN modules: ''compat.ko'', ''cfg80211.ko'', ''mac80211.ko'', ''wl18xx.ko'' and ''wl18xx_sdio.ko''. These modules are pushed into the ''/system/lib/modules'' directory on the flashed image.
| |
| | |
| === Building BTFM driver ===
| |
| <pre>$ cd ${MYDROID}/hardware/ti/wpan/bluetooth-compat
| |
| $ export KERNEL_DIR=${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-3.0
| |
| $ export KLIB=${KERNEL_DIR}
| |
| $ export KLIB_BUILD=${KERNEL_DIR}
| |
| $ make ARCH=arm 2>&1 |tee ${MYDROID}/logs/wlan_modules.out
| |
| </pre>
| |
| The above step will produce the following kernel BTFM modules: ''compat.ko'', ''btwilink.ko'', ''bnep.ko'', ''hidp.ko'', ''rfcomm.ko'', ''bluetooth.ko''. These modules are pushed into the ''/system/lib/modules'' directory on the flashed image.
| |
| | |
| === Building Android Filesystem (AFS) with TI Codecs enabled ===
| |
| | |
| In the make step below use the number of cores you have available; i.e. -j4 (for 4 cores) or -j12 (for 12 cores)
| |
| <pre>$ cd $MYDROID
| |
| $ source build/envsetup.sh
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Now setup platform:
| |
| <pre>$ lunch full_blaze-userdebug
| |
| </pre>
| |
| And build Android AFS:
| |
| <pre>$ make clean #(required for clean rebuild only)
| |
| $ make 2>&1 | tee ${MYDROID}/logs/android_make.out
| |
| </pre>
| |
| === Preparing Android binaries ===
| |
| | |
| Install external kernel modules that are required by the DART-4460 board.
| |
| <pre>$ export BOARD_TYPE="blaze"
| |
| | |
| $ cd ${MYDROID}/out/target/product/${BOARD_TYPE}
| |
| $ mkdir -p system/lib/modules
| |
| $ find ${MYDROID}/hardware/ti/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx -name \*.ko |while read f; do cp $f system/lib/modules/; done
| |
| $ find ${MYDROID}/hardware/ti/wpan/bluetooth-compat -name \*.ko |while read f; do cp $f system/lib/modules/; done
| |
| </pre>
| |
| === Preparing eMMC images ===
| |
| <pre>$ cd ${YOUR_PATH}
| |
| $ mkdir -p omap4_emmc_files_omap4dart ; cd omap4_emmc_files_omap4dart
| |
| $ cp -f ${MYDROID}/out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot .
| |
| $ cp -f ${MYDROID}/out/host/linux-x86/bin/mkbootimg .
| |
| $ cp -f ${MYDROID}/out/host/linux-x86/bin/simg2img .
| |
| $ cp -f ${MYDROID}/out/host/linux-x86/bin/make_ext4fs .
| |
| $ cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-3.0/arch/arm/boot/zImage .
| |
| | |
| << For OMAP4 Dart Board >>
| |
| $ cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/x-loader/MLO Dart_Board_OMAP4460_GP_ES1.1_MLO
| |
| $ cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/u-boot/u-boot.bin Dart_Board_u-boot.bin
| |
| | |
| << For OMAP4 Dart EVM >>
| |
| $ cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/x-loader/MLO Dart_EVM_OMAP4460_GP_ES1.1_MLO
| |
| $ cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/u-boot/u-boot.bin Dart_EVM_u-boot.bin
| |
| </pre>
| |
| '''Create img files:'''
| |
| <pre>$ cd ${MYDROID}
| |
| $ find out/target/product/${BOARD_TYPE} -name *.img -exec rm -f {} \;
| |
| $ make
| |
| $ cd ${YOUR_PATH}/omap4_emmc_files_omap4dart
| |
| $ cp -f ${MYDROID}/out/target/product/${BOARD_TYPE}/*.img .
| |
| </pre>
| |
| This build should not take too much time and will re-generate a new *.img files with the modified init.rc file in it
| |
| | |
| Now from this new directory we will create the eMMC images which will be flashed using fastboot protocol (described later).
| |
| | |
| First create '''boot.img''' image using kernel image we copied previously:
| |
| <pre>$ ./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.img --base 0x80000000 --board omap4 --cmdline "<extra_bootargs>" -o boot.img
| |
| </pre>
| |
| For example to create '''boot.img''' with HDMI resolution of 1920x1080:
| |
| <pre>$ ./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.img --base 0x80000000 --board omap4 --cmdline "omapdss.def_disp=hdmi omapdss.hdmi_options=1920x1080" -o boot.img
| |
| </pre>
| |
| '''Create cache partition:'''
| |
| <pre>$ dd if=/dev/zero of=./cache.img bs=1048510 count=128
| |
| $ mkfs.ext4 -F cache.img -L cache
| |
| </pre>
| |
| = Flashing the Android binaries on eMMC =
| |
| | |
| == Flash Android binaries using Fastboot ==
| |
| | |
| After the eMMC files are available you then can use the '''fastboot.sh''' script to upload binaries to your Dart Board or Dart EVM. You will need to copy the '''fastboot.sh''' script to the location of the eMMC files.
| |
| <pre>$ cd ${YOUR_PATH}/omap4_emmc_files_omap4dart
| |
| $ cp ${MYDROID}/device/ti/${BOARD_TYPE}/boot/fastboot.sh .
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Connect the Dart Board or Dart EVM USB OTG port to your Linux machine and go to where the eMMC files are. Previous partitions created will be deleted and eMMC will be flashed with new u-boot and MLO. You need to boot the board and start fastboot server on the target (OMAP4 board).
| |
| | |
| # fastboot
| |
| | |
| You should see a message such as:
| |
| | |
| "Fastboot started..." or "Fastboot entered..."
| |
| | |
| When running the fastboot script the command should be issued as super user then run:
| |
| | |
| $ sudo ./fastboot.sh --pwd
| |
| | |
| Dart will boot up on its own with the new image in a few minutes. Until the user interface is ready for use, please avoid interrupting it by pressing any keys etc. This will detect your board and flash the images to the board.
| |
| | |
| === First time flashing on eMMC ===
| |
| | |
| <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">If there is no u-boot on your board's eMMC you have two options to boot Dard, using external SD card or using '''usbboot''' utility which boot Dart over USB OTG port.</span><br>
| |
| | |
| '''<u>Boot using external SD card:</u>'''
| |
| | |
| To boot using external SD card c<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">opy '''u-boot.bin''' and '''MLO '''files to an SD card (boot partition) and then boot the target board from this external SD card by press and hold the bootselect button.</span>
| |
| | |
| '''<u>Boot using usbboot utility:</u>'''
| |
| | |
| '''usbboot''' is a small utility that boot Dart over USB OTG port, it has embedded 1ndstage bootloader (MLO) and it takes '''u-boot.bin''' image file as parameter.
| |
| | |
| (pre-built binary and source code of '''usbboot''' utility can be obtained from Variscite's FTP)
| |
| | |
| To boot using '''usbboot, ''' press and hold the bootselect button, power on the board and then connect the Dart USB OTG port to Linux machine.
| |
| | |
| Then from Linux shell type:
| |
| <pre>$ sudo ./usbboot u-boot.bin</pre>
| |
| <u>'''Flash eMMC'''</u>
| |
| | |
| Once you boot the board, start fastboot server on the target (Dart board).
| |
| | |
| # fastboot
| |
| | |
| You should see a message such as:
| |
| | |
| "Fastboot started..." or "Fastboot entered..."
| |
| | |
| Now from the PC execute following commands to flash MLO and u-boot to eMMC
| |
| | |
| $ sudo ./fastboot oem format
| |
| $ sudo ./fastboot flash xloader ./MLO
| |
| $ sudo ./fastboot flash bootloader ./u-boot.bin
| |
| | |
| == Flash Android binaries using Ubuntu SD image == | |
| | |
| As an easy and fast way to flash Android binaries on OMAP4 DART, Variscite provides a Ubuntu core SD card image with pre-built Android binaries.<br>This SD card image includes a script (emmc-flasher.sh) that installs the boot images and root file-system.<br>
| |
| | |
| '''Preparing rescue SD-Card'''
| |
| | |
| *Plug your SD card to your Linux machine, run dmesg and see what device is added (i.e. /dev/sd<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">'''X'''</span>)
| |
| *gunzip Ubuntu_12.04_core-DART-BOARD.VAR10_2.img.gz
| |
| *dd if=Ubuntu_12.04_core-DART-BOARD.VAR10_2.img of=/dev/sd<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">'''X'''</span> bs=128k
| |
| | |
| '''Recover Nand Flash'''
| |
| | |
| *Insert the SD card into the SD/MMC slot of the custom board.
| |
| *Boot from SD card.<br>
| |
| *Login as root (password:password)
| |
| *From Linux command line, type:
| |
| <pre>$ cd eMMC/Android/
| |
| $ ./emmc-flasher.sh [Dart_Board|Dart_EVM]</pre>
| |
