Revisions Revisions Description Details V1.0 Initial version   V1.2 Make a little update 1. Modify the path of the toolchain 2. Remove the command: make menuconfig 3. Modify the path of folder "out" in some commands   Hardware Requirement PC Host: Ubuntu for compiling, Windows for downloading and debugging Target: i.MX6ULL 14x14 EVK with LCD or HDMI TF card USB cables for console and download Power adapter Overview Ubuntu uses the same packaging management system (deb and apt) and with each development cycle pulls in the latest packages from Debian and then adapts them to Ubuntu specifics and adds more features and patches where necessary. They also push changes back to Debian and often developers are Ubuntu and Debian developers. Both of them have a nice UI and can install softwares easier than Yocto. The purpose of this doc is to install the Debian 8 Jessie Rootfs on NXP i.MX6ULL EVK Board. The doc contains several steps as following:    1. Download and compile the u-boot, kernel and dtb.    2. Get and modify the linaro rootfs.    3. Download all things to the SD card via MfgTool.    4. Run the Debian 8 Jessie in the board. Download and compile the u-boot, kernel and dtb.    a.

It is often not easy to use company network to flash application, due to network security (proxy, etc...). We will see in this tutorial, how to flash a Linux application in a SD card with ONLY a SD card reader and simple standard Linux commands. SD card Memory Map A Linux application is divided in 3 parts: the bootloader the Linux Kernel the Linux Rootfs We will flash sequentially these 3 parts Flashing U-boot With the SD card Reader, we will flash the yellow part. In the [...]/ltib/rootfs/boot/ folder $ sudo dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=512 skip=2 seek=2 && sudo sync Flashing Linux Kernel With the SD card reader, we will flash the green part. Keep in mind that 1MB=1048576B -> Kernel Offset. $ sudo dd if=uImage of=/dev/sdb bs=1048576 seek=1 && sudo sync Configure U-boot variables To launch the Kernel, you need to configure U-boot. Plug the serial cable on the EVK: 115kbps, 8 bits, 1 stop and no parity EVK switches must be configured as below: DS1 DS2 DS3 DS4 DS5 DS5 DS7 DS8 DS9 DS10 Boot from SD/MMC Card 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 Put the SD card in the EVK (bottom slot) and launch the app. In the hyperterminal type:   BBG U-Boot > printenv To print environnement variables Modify the bootcmd: BBG U-Boot > setenv bootcmd_mmc 'run bootargs_base bootargs_mmc;mmc read 0 ${loadaddr} 0x800 0x1800;bootm' "0x1800" is the size of the kernel. Must be bigger than uImage Kernel file (0x1800x512Byte=3MB) If you want to use the WVGA as display screen (kernel need to be configured with CLAA support), for LTIB1007 and after (before it was 'wvga' option): Script for LTIB1007's u-boot on i.MX51 EVK (copy/paste in the hyperterminal): setenv bootcmd_mmc 'run bootargs_base bootargs_mmc; mmc read 0 ${loadaddr} 800 1800 ; bootm' setenv bootargs_mmc 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rw  init=/init' setenv bootargs_base' setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 di1_primary console=tty1' setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_mmc' saveenv Script for LTIB1007's u-boot on i.MX53 EVK (copy/paste in the hyperterminal): setenv bootcmd_mmc 'run bootargs_base bootargs_mmc; mmc read 0 ${loadaddr} 800 1800 ; bootm' setenv bootargs_mmc 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rw  init=/init' setenv bootargs_base 'setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 di0_primary console=tty1' setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_mmc' saveenv You must have the following printenv: BBG U-Boot > printenv bootdelay=3 baudrate=115200 loadaddr=0x90800000 netdev=eth0 ethprime=FEC0 uboot_addr=0xa0000000 uboot=u-boot.bin kernel=uImage bootargs_nfs=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp nfsroot=${serveri p}:${nfsroot},v3,tcp bootcmd_net=run bootargs_base bootargs_nfs; tftpboot ${loadaddr} ${kernel}; boot m load_uboot=tftpboot ${loadaddr} ${uboot} ethact=FEC0 bootargs=console=ttymxc0,115200 di1_primary root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rw init =/init bootcmd_mmc=run bootargs_base bootargs_mmc; mmc read 0 ${loadaddr} 800 1800 ; bo otm bootargs_mmc=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rw init=/i nit bootargs_base=setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 di1_primary bootcmd=run bootcmd_mmc stdin=serial stdout=serial stderr=serial</br> Environment size: 748/131068 bytes BBG U-Boot > Create ext3 partition With the SD card reader, create an ext3 partition.

meta-avs-demos Yocto layer meta-avs-demos is a Yocto meta layer (complementary to the NXP BSP release for i.MX) published on CodeAurora that includes the additional required packages to support  Amazon's Alexa Voice Services SDK (AVS_SDK) applications. The build procedure is the described on the README.md of the corresponding branch. We have 2 fuctional branches now: imx-alexa-sdk: Support for Morty based i.mx releases imx7d-pico-avs-sdk_4.1.15-1.0.0: legacy support for Jethro releases The master branch is only used to collect manifest files, that used with repo init/sync commands will fetch the whole environment for the 2 special supported boards: i.MX7D Pico Pi and i.MX8M EVK. However the meta-avs-demos can be used with any i.MX board either. Recipes to include Amazon's Alexa Voice Services in your applications. The meta-avs-demos provides the required recipes to build an i.MX image with the support for running Alexa SDK. The imx-alexa-sdk branch is based on Morty and kernel 4.9.X and it supports the next builds: i.MX7D Pico Pi i.MX8M EVK Generic i.MX board For the i.MX7D Pico Pi and i.MX8M EVK there is an extended support for additional (external) Sound Cards like: TechNexion VoiceHat: 2Mic Array board with DSPConcepts SW support Synaptics Card: 2 Mic with Sensory WakeWord support The Generic i.MX is for any other regular i.MX board supported on the official NXP BSP releases. Only the default soundcard (embedded) on the board is supported. Sensory wakeword is currently only enabled for those with ARMV7 architecture. To support any external board like the VoiceHat or Synaptics is up to the user to include the additional patches/changes required. Build Instructions Follow the corresponding README file to follow the steps to build an image with Alexa SDK support README-IMX7D-PICOPI.md README-IMX8M-EVK.md README-IMX-GENERIC.md

Here is an example for i.MX28 EVK board to support SPI NOR boot in uboot, kernel and MFGTool.   Attached files are the patches to support SPI NOR flash on i.MX28 EVK bord based on L2.6.35 ER11.09.01 BSP. It was verified on Spansion s25fl256s SPI NOR. "ER11.09.01_uboot_imx28_spi_nor.patch" is the Uboot patch. "ER11.09.01_kernel_imx28_spi_nor.patch" is the kernel patch. "ucl.xml" is the updated MFGTool config file, please update it to "Mfgtools-Rel\Profiles\MX28 Linux Update\OS Firmware\ucl.xml".   The uboot boot paramters for SPI: setenv bootargs_base 'setenv bootargs console=ttyAM0,115200' setenv loadaddr 0x42000000 setenv bootargs_spi 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=jffs2 rootwait rw ip=none' setenv bootcmd_spi 'run bootargs_base bootargs_spi;sf probe 2:0; sf read ${loadaddr} 0x100000 0x300000;bootm' setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_spi' saveenv   To boot the board from SPI NOR s25fl256s, the 4KB page region of the NOR should be put to top, the last 128KB of the NOR address space. The uboot.sb is about 220KB, it can't be put to 4KB and 64KB combined region. The IMX28 boot ROM can only handle simple page size for boot. All 4KB page region or all 64KB page region are both OK for boot, but combined region can't boot.   For default, the s25fl256s NOR's 128KB 4KB page size region is at the bottom of the NOR, we should update the OTP to set this region to TOP, in Uboot, we run the followed command to burn the OTP: MX28 U-Boot -> sf probe 2:0 MX28 U-Boot -> sf set_config_reg 0x04   To boot the i.MX28 EVK board from SPI2 NOR flash, the BM3~0 should be 0010.   In this example, we only used the JFFS2 file system. To support the UBIFS, there is a known issue, that the UBIFS will use vmalloc to alloc memory, and if SPI driver used the DMA, kernel will halt with error "kernel BUG at arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c:409!".   For 11.09.01 BSP, the default MFGTool rootfs "initramfs.cpio.gz" will be bigger than 4MB, but in i.MX28 bootlets code, the BSP only set ramdisk to 4MB, so we need modify this limitation for MFGTool.   Use command "./ltib -p imx-bootlets -m prep" to get the bootlets code, modify "ltib/rpm/BUILD/imx-bootlets-src-11.09.01/linux_prep/core/setup.c", function setup_initrd_tag(), change from "params->u.initrd.size =  0x00400000;" to "params->u.initrd.size =  0x00500000;". Modify "ltib/rpm/BUILD/imx-bootlets-src-11.09.01/updater.bd" and "updater_ivt.bd", change from "load 0.b    > 0x40800000..0x40c00000;" to "load 0.b    > 0x40800000..0x40d00000;".   Now the MFGTool rootfs size can be 5MB.   2013-05-09: Updated hardware rework: On iMX28 EVK board, rework J89 as followed and mount R320,R321,R322 and C178.

Hardware solution: when iMX28 was reboot, reset the SPI NOR too, the SPI NOR will work in 3 bytes address mode as default. Software solution: In kernel SPI NOR driver, always switch SPI NOR to 3 bytes address mode after each SPI NOR access, and switch to 4 bytes address mode before each access. There is no such issue if the SPI NOR size is less than 32MB.

Some i.MX25 customers reported an issue for the GPT timer, when using 120MHz (240MHz UPLL divided 2) clock source as the GPT per_clk, the timer will not be increased all the time in free-run mode. If using 66.5MHz IPG clock and 133MHz PER clock as the clock source, there are no such issue. There are 4 test cases in the attached test code. Case 0: in CCM_MCR, set bit 5 as 0 for 133MHz HCLK as the gpt_per_clk source;  in GPT_CR bit[8:6], set 0b001 ipg_clk (66.5MHz). There is no issue, the GPT counter is fixed at 4 between old_cnt and new_cnt. Case 1: in CCM_MCR, set bit 5 as 0 for 133MHz HCLK as the gpt_per_clk source;  in GPT_CR bit[8:6], set 0b010 ipg_clk_highfreq (133MHz). There is no issue, the GPT counter is fixed at 8 between old_cnt and new_cnt. Case 2: in CCM_MCR, set bit 5 as 1 for 240MHz UPLL divided by 2 as the gpt_per_clk source;  in GPT_CR bit[8:6], set 0b001 ipg_clk (60MHz). There is no issue, the GPT counter is fixed at 4 between old_cnt and new_cnt. Case 3: in CCM_MCR, set bit 5 as 0 for 240MHz UPLL divided by 2 as the gpt_per_clk source;  in GPT_CR bit[8:6], set 0b010 ipg_clk_highfreq (120MHz). There is issue, the GPT counter is not a fixed value between old_cnt and new_cnt, and sometimes it will be negative. Count 9874: 4 old_cnt: 0x188849dc new_cnt: 0x188849e0 Count 9877: 12 old_cnt: 0x18918400 new_cnt: 0x1891840c Count 9915: 4 old_cnt: 0x189aea90 new_cnt: 0x189aea94 Count 9937: -12 old_cnt: 0x18a42458 new_cnt: 0x18a4244c Count 9967: 4 old_cnt: 0x18adb17c new_cnt: 0x18adb180 In fact, it is not an issue, when using UPLL as the GPT clock source, the maxim frequency should be 60MHz. That's why all other three test case is OK and it only failed on this case.

ccache is a C compiler cache. ccache can save a large amount of compilation time on recurring builds and builds restarted from a clean repository after make clean or git clean. It is well suited for e.g. u-boot and Linux compilation. Caching the host compiler Caching "native" builds is easily done by adding in the beginning of your $PATH a special directory, which contains links to ccache to override the usual compiler. On e.g. Debian this directory is readily available as /usr/lib/ccache, So you can do:   $ export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH" Typical links found in this folder are:   c++ -> ../../bin/ccache   cc -> ../../bin/ccache   g++ -> ../../bin/ccache   gcc -> ../../bin/ccache etc... Caching the cross compiler Caching cross-compiled builds can be done in the same way as native builds, provided you create links of the form e.g. arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc pointing to ccache. But there is an even more convenient way for those projects, which rely on a $CROSS_COMPILE environment variable (as is the case for e.g. u-boot and Linux). You can prefix the cross compiler with ccache there in e.g. the following way:   $ export CROSS_COMPILE="ccache arm-linux-gnueabihf-" Monitoring efficiency Now that your builds are cached, you might want to see how much is "spared" with this technique. ccache -s will tell you all sorts of statistics, such as:   cache directory                     /home/vstehle/.ccache   cache hit (direct)                 10852   cache hit (preprocessed)            3225   cache miss                         19000   called for link                    33267   called for preprocessing            9463   compile failed                         3   preprocessor error                     1   couldn't find the compiler           117   unsupported source language          921   unsupported compiler option         2167   no input file                      31681   files in cache                     51694   cache size                           1.3 Gbytes   max cache size                       4.0 Gbytes Here you see a somewhat typical 50%/50% hit/miss ratio. Enjoy! See Also ccache is usually supported natively by build systems, such as Buildroot or Yocto.

NFS Network File System (NFS) is a network file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984, allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a network as easily as if the network devices were attached to its local disks. The use of NFS makes the development work of user space applications easy and fast since all target root file system is located into host (PC) where the applications can be developed and crosscompiled to target system. The target system will use this file system located on host as if it is located on target. NFS service will be used to transfer the root file system from host to target. NFS resources are listed below: All Boards Deploy NFS All Boards NFS on Fedora NFS on Fedora All Boards NFS on Slackware NFS on Slackware All Boards NFS on Ubuntu NFS on Ubuntu

Booting Linux Directly from SD/MMC Card     You can create a self-bootable SD or MMC card with Linux.     This tutorial describes how to create a complete Linux system (bootloader + Linux kernel + root file system) that boots from SD/MMC card.     This is very useful for people willing to demonstrate several Linux images that can be self-contained in SD/MMC cards. Flashing RedBoot on MMC using ATK     To boot Linux from a SD card, the first thing to do is to program the bootloader to the card. For this, click on the link below:     I.MX35 PDK Board Flashing SDCard Flashing RedBoot on MMC using DD     You can also use dd on any linux system to load redboot:   $ sudo dd if=./Desktop/mx35_3stack_redboot_mmc.bin of=/dev/sdd bs=512 skip=2 seek=2 Configuring Kernel to Boot From SD/MMC     Creating a Linux bootable MMC/SD Card.     Execute LTIB:   $ ./ltib -c     Choose configure the kernel:   [*] Configure the kernel     Change image generation to NFS:     Target Image Generation     Options --->     (X) NFS only     Compile Linux kernel with built-in support to MMC/SD and ext3:     Follow that sequence:     Device Drivers --->     <*> MMC/SD card support --->     <*> UniFi SDIO glue for Freescale MMC/SDIO     <*> Freescale i.MX Secure Digital Host Controller Interface support       File systems --->     <*> Ext3 journalling file system support     After the compilation copy the file ~/ltib/rootfs/boot/zImage to tftpboot directory:   $ cp ~/ltib/rootfs/boot/zImage /tftpboot Creating RedBoot Kernel Partition     Create RedBoot partitions and copy Linux kernel to it:     Turn MMC active:   RedBoot> factive MMC     Initialize flash partitions:   RedBoot> fis init       RedBoot> fis list     ...

Creating the Root File System     After storing the kernel image in the SD card, remove the card from the target board and insert it in your computer (running Linux).     In this example, Linux detected the SD card as /dev/sdb.     Now we need to create two partitions. The first partition will not be used, this is just reserved to RedBoot and kernel. The second partition will be used to store Linux Root File System.   # fdisk /dev/sdb     Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel     Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x526c22da.     Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.     After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.         Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)         Command (m for help): p         Disk /dev/sdb: 1023 MB, 1023934464 bytes     32 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1008 cylinders     Units = cylinders of 1984 * 512 = 1015808 bytes     Disk identifier: 0x526c22da           Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System     Create the first partition with 8 MB; it already contains RedBoot and the kernel, as we stored previously:             Command (m for help): n     Command action       e extended       p primary partition (1-4)     p     Partition number (1-4): 1     First cylinder (1-1008, default 1):     Using default value 1     Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (1-1008, default 1008): +8M     Now, create the second partition using all remaining space on SD card:       Command (m for help): n     Command action       e extended       p primary partition (1-4)     p     Partition number (1-4): 2     First cylinder (10-1008, default 10):     Using default value 10     Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (10-1008, default 1008):     Using default value 1008         Command (m for help): p         Disk /dev/sdb: 1023 MB, 1023934464 bytes     32 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1008 cylinders     Units = cylinders of 1984 * 512 = 1015808 bytes     Disk identifier: 0x526c22da     Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System     /dev/sdb1 1 9 8897 83 Linux     /dev/sdb2 10 1008 991008 83 Linux         Command (m for help): w   Now format the second partition as EXT3: # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2   Remove the SD card from your computer and insert again.
