DART-6UL Yocto Krogoth R2 Build Linux out of tree
Toolchain installation for out of Yocto builds
To install the toolchain, follow DART-6UL Toolchain installation for out of Yocto Krogoth builds.
Build Linux out of Yocto tree
Get the Linux source code:
$ cd ~/var-imx-yocto-krogoth $ git clone https://github.com/varigit/linux-2.6-imx.git $ git checkout -b imx-rel_imx_4.1.15_2.0.0_ga-var01 origin/imx-rel_imx_4.1.15_2.0.0_ga-var01
Build the Linux kernel:
$ source /opt/fsl-imx-x11/4.1.15-2.0.1/environment-setup-cortexa7hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi
$ cd ~/var-imx-yocto-krogoth/linux-2.6-imx/ $ make mrproper $ make imx6ul-var-dart_defconfig Build everything: $ make -j4 Build zImage only: $ make -j4 zImage Build modules only: $ make -j4 modules Build device trees only: $ make -j4 dtbs Build only the device tree for DART-6UL with eMMC and WiFi: $ make -j4 imx6ul-var-dart-emmc_wifi.dtb Build only the device tree for DART-6UL with eMMC and SD card: $ make -j4 imx6ul-var-dart-sd_emmc.dtb Build only the device tree for DART-6UL with NAND flash and WiFi: $ make -j4 imx6ul-var-dart-nand_wifi.dtb Build only the device tree for DART-6UL with NAND flash and SD card: $ make -j4 imx6ul-var-dart-sd_nand.dtb Build only the device tree for DART-6ULL with eMMC and WiFi: $ make -j4 imx6ull-var-dart-emmc_wifi.dtb Build only the device tree for DART-6ULL with eMMC and SD card: $ make -j4 imx6ull-var-dart-sd_emmc.dtb Build only the device tree for DART-6ULL with NAND flash and WiFi: $ make -j4 imx6ull-var-dart-nand_wifi.dtb Build only the device tree for DART-6ULL with NAND flash and SD card: $ make -j4 imx6ull-var-dart-sd_nand.dtb
Notes:
- If you replace the kernel image (zImage) on your system, you also need to reinstall the kernel modules, and vice versa.
- If you just want to make a change in the device tree, you can compile and replace it without replacing the kernel image and modules.
Install the built kernel on an SD card
Copy the zImage and device trees to the SD card boot partition, and install the modules in the SD card rootfs partition.
Assuming the boot partition is mounted on /media/BOOT-VAR6UL and the rootfs partition is mounted on /media/rootfs:
Install the kernel image and modules: $ cp arch/arm/boot/zImage /media/BOOT-VAR6UL $ sudo make ARCH=arm modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/media/rootfs Install the device trees: $ cp arch/arm/boot/dts/*var*.dtb /media/BOOT-VAR6UL
Note:
If you are using our Recovery SD card, and you want the NAND flash/eMMC installation to update as well as the SD card boot itself, you need to also update the /opt/images/Yocto directory.
