imx53 quick start board development environment

leonardfairclot — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 06:15:05 GMT

I'm stepping through the steps and here are a few issues that I have found: Please note I'm working with Ubuntu:

7.3.5 - Configure tftp server

I do not have "/etc/inetd.conf" or "/etc.default/atftpd". I also do not have "/etc/exports" is this a new file?

Do I need this to compile code for the imx53?

I skipped this and continued on and then ran into:

"user@ubuntu:~/imx53/11.09.01/L2.6.35_11.09.01_ER_source$ ls

EULA install ltib.tar.gz package_manifest.txt pkgs redboot_201003.zip tftp.zip"

"~/imx53/11.09.01/L2.6.35_11.09.01_ER_source$" directory of file does not exist, if I take the $ off it says this is a directory. What is this looking for? This is a directory but I'm not sure what it is looking for.

Please use the following link how to configure aftpd :

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-advanced-tftp-server-in-ubuntu.html

In particular :
"By default atftpd server starts using inetd so we need to tell atftpd to run as a server directly,

not through inetd.Edit /etc/default/atftpd file using the following command

sudo gedit /etc/default/atftpd

Change the following line

USE_INETD=true

USE_INETD=false

save and exit the file

Now you need to run the following command

sudo invoke-rc.d atftpd start

As for the "/etc/exports" - this is text file, should be created manually.

The following line in this file means - directory /home is available via NFS for any (IP=*)
clients (that can access the NFS server in subnet).

/home *(rw,no_root_squash)

The distro package from the Web is "L2.6.35_11.09.01_ER_source.tar.gz".
It should be unpacked in order to get the following structure of files and directories :
EULA
install
ltib.tar.gz
package_manifest.txt

pkgs
redboot_201003.zip
tftp.zip

Next - just run ./install

I have this I'm currently at the install tlib. the command is "./tlib"

I'm getting

"I ran the command: sudo -S -l which returned :

sudo passwd for leonard: Sorry, try again

This means you do not have permission to execute rpm commands asa root."

can you tell me how to get around this?

thanks

Leonard,

looks like the following was not implemented :

Add the following line to the end of the sudoers file.

%admin ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rpm, /opt/freescale/ltib/usr/bin/rpm

Youve been a huge help, I'm a little concerned that he says that he is

still running into errors but for now mine is running. It says it could

take an hour, i'm glad its running.

How long do you stay online? Should i email you in an hour?

Thanks again for your help

OK !

leonardfairclot — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 06:30:24 GMT

Here I am again:

These packages failed to build:

elftosb

Build Failed

Just one, that's good, right?

Re: imx53 quick start board development environment

leonardfairclot — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 06:41:12 GMT

reading through the log file is says:

Cowardly refusing to clobber existing directory:

/opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/elftosb-11.09.01

Remove this by hand if you really want to rebuild this package from

scratch

I rename it and it still gives me the same error.

Re: imx53 quick start board development environment

Yuri — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 07:08:16 GMT

elftosb is not needed for i.MX53. It may be removed (if present in pkg list of system menu config).

Re: imx53 quick start board development environment

leonardfairclot — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 07:16:00 GMT

I removed it, finished the finale steps and now I'm getting:

zlib not installed

I try to install it

sudo apt-get install zlibc zlib1g zlib1g-dev

it installs but i get the same error. Do i have to include it

somewhere?

any ideas?

leonardfairclot — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 07:52:36 GMT

Here's the error I'm getting:

ltib cannot be run because one or more of the host packages neede to run

are either missing or out of date or not in ltib's standard path.

Please

install/upgrade these packages on your host. If you have your own

utilities

in non-standard paths, please add an entry into the .ltibrc file for

example:

%path

Re: imx53 quick start board development environment

Yuri — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 08:21:50 GMT

In perl script ltib (in the beginning) find lines

$cf = {

# configuration options
bldbase => $top

...

pre_install_deps => "

glibc 2.2.4

....

zlib 0

and just comment (#) zlib related line.

The other dependencies (say, flex) may be commented in the same manner.

I'm back to getting the elftosb error. Where is the pkg list of system

menu config. Last time I just removed the directory this time it puts

it back.

thanks

I found it in pkg_map. I have it running but it will not let me select

a platform choice. I am looking at the first screen, the white box is

in front of "Platform choice" and Select is highlighted below. I hit

enter and I get a window labeled "Platform Choice" there is a select or

help at the bottom. Select is highlighted and an X" in frot of

Freescale iMX reference board, so i hit enter and i go back to the first

screen.

I tried htting "Y" and "N" and even space bar, no luck it then same

result.

thanks again for all your help

Okay, past that one, easy one. went through the steps to choose the

correct board. Got to the end and I get:

As I see ltib directory is located in /opt/freescale/ :

it would be better to use /home/<user>.

As recommended - remove "elftosb-11.09.01" directory in /opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/
and try to rebuild system.

elftosb package relate to i.MX233 and i.MX28 - have You selected i.MX53

device correctly ?

./ltib -m config
