HI, I want to build an Ubuntu Linux operating system with LTIB, but from the user guide the host system is Ubuntu 9.04, but we can't use 'apt-get install' any package due to there are no source lists. What should we do next? Thank you!

Please make sure design is follow below checking list before checking this guide. HW Design Checking List for i.MX6DQSDL

I²C is a communication protocol used to exchange information between cores. To see more about I²C, please follow this link Wikipedia:I²C. Enable I2C-tools in LTIB into Package List: Reboot your file system, there are three new I²C commands: i2cdetect, i2cdump and i2cset.

Seeing a block diagram in IMX6SLRM 1.5.1, it looks like i.MXSL has Touch Panel Control. Is there interfaces for touch panel  in IMX6SL? Otherwise if I build HW using ADC or GPIO, can I be provided some SW drivers? Regards. The i.MX6 SL does not have embedded touch / ADC interface, sorry.

Software Update and Recovery The information reproduced above is from Android User Guide R10.2, found into Android release package. It is possible to format the /data and /cache partitions or update software based on a update script using recovery mode as follows: Prepare for all Android source code that assumed to be saved in ~/myandroid directory. Prepare for ADB over USB. make sure that ADB over USB is ok. USB cable is connected. Refer to i.MX51 Android ADB over USB section for more information. Connect the UART to the PC and open a terminal to check for printed messages Enter the recovery by manual for imx51_BBG board:       setenv bootargs_android_recovery 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} init=/init root=/dev/mmcblk0p4 rootfs=ext4 di1_primary'       setenv bootcmd_android_recovery 'run bootargs_base bootargs_android_recovery;mmc read 0 ${loadaddr} 0x800 0x2000;bootm'       run bootcmd_android_recovery For imx53_SMD board:       setenv bootargs_android_recovery 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} init=/init root=/dev/mmcblk0p4 rootfs=ext4'       setenv bootcmd_android_recovery 'run bootargs_base bootargs_android_recovery;mmc read 0 ${loadaddr} 0x800 0x2000;bootm'       run bootcmd_android_recovery When system has completed bootup,  You will see this screen: You can press "MENU" "HOME" or "F1" (by USB keyboard, for developer)" going to the text menu like this: Select the required option using the direction keys on the keypad or keyboard. Apply sdcard:update.zip, you may update the software from update.zip as shown in the following example: Copy this directory from android source code myandroid/bootable/recovery/etc to a tempepory directory, such as ~/recovery. cd ~/recovery and remove init.rc from this directory. Edit ./META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script according to the required commands. for example, in order to format /system partition and use update.zip to update system partition, copy whole the entire content directory to system partition, all commands are found in ~/myandroid/bootable/recovery/update/install.c You must notice, when your signing the zip package, it will lose ALL of the permission information, you need to set the right permission in the script. You can find the example in ./META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script Copy update-binary, Copy out/target/product/YOU_PRODUCT/system/bin/updater to ~/recovery/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary Create a directory called system and copy some files you would like to update to ./system. Create a directory called res to save the public key of your system.         fsl@fsl-desktop:~/recovery$ mkdir res         fsl@fsl-desktop:~/recovery$ ~/myandroid/out/host/linux-x86/framework/dumpkey.jar ~/myandroid/build/target/product/security/testkey.x509.pem > res/keys Create a package called recovery.zip using the zip command         fsl@fsl-desktop:~/recovery$zip recovery.zip -r ./META-INF ./system ./res recovery.zip is located in the current directory. Then create a digital signature for recovery.zip package as follows.         fsl@fsl-desktop:~/recovery$ cd ~/myandroid         fsl@fsl-desktop:~/myandroid$ make signapk         fsl@fsl-desktop:~/myandroid$ cd ~/recovery         fsl@fsl-desktop:~/recovery$ java -jar ~/myandroid/out/host/linux-x86/framework/signapk.jar -w ~/myandroid/build/target/product/security/testkey.x509.pem ~/myandroid/build/target/product/security/testkey.pk8 recovery.zip recovery_signed.zip recovery_signed.zip is located in the current directory. Copy it to the SD card using ADB         fsl@fsl-desktop:~/recovery$ adb push recovery_signed.zip /sdcard/update.zip update.zip is completed and the system is updated based on the commands in the update-script. Check for error messages on the LCD. Wipe data/factory reset. /data and /cache partitions are formatted. Wipe cache partition. /cache partition is formatted. Reboot the system.

The refine to TV mode of R10.3.1 causes dual video function fail. The attached patch recovers dual video function. Attached dual_video.patch only work for RGB output (HDMI support). For legacy TVout (YUV output), the extra patch is necessary, see the attached "legacy_tvout.zip". Refer to Dual video with single UI on i.MX53 SMD with Android R10.4  for setup.

i.mx8M evk board has HW decoder and SW encoder, this document introduce how to use HW decoder and SW encoder the bsp is the latest version L4.14.78, the environment is : $ DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx8mqevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-wayland $ bitbake fsl-image-validation-imx   For the 4.14.78, we don’t use mfgtool anymore, customer can use uuu.exe to program the image to the board, the uuu.exe can be found from https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools/releases Here we use emmc as media, I attached the kerel_emmc.uuu for reference Open the cmd.exe, then use the command “uuu.exe kernel_emmc.uuu” to download the image to the emmc on the board as the picture shows When the board boot up, don’t forget to change the image and fdt_file as you want, for example, I use Image-imx8mqevk.bin as image name  and Image-fsl-imx8mq-evk.dtb as my fdt file, you can choose different image and fdt file as uuu file mentions. 1) Decoding   For play the video, we can use three solution to support this a) gplay-1.0 test.mp4 b) gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///mnt/sdcard/test.mp4 c) gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=test.mp4 typefind=true ! video/quicktime ! aiurdemux ! queue max-size-time=0 ! vpudec ! autovideosink For play the two different video to the different display, current imx8M evk board supports dual hdmi output, in the uboot command: setenv fdt_file Image-fsl-imx8mq-evk-dual-display.dtb saveenv Use the command as below:    gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///test1.mp4 playbin uri=file:///test2.mp4 video-sink="glimagesink display-master=false display-slave=true" 2) Encoding Because imx8M evk don’t have hardware encoding, so we need to add the SW plugins in the bsp   a)add the commands as below in the /build/conf/local.conf "CORE_IMAGE-EXTRA_INSTALL += "gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly-meta packagegroup-fsl-gsstreamer1.0-commercial gst-ffmpeg" LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial""        b)Create the new txt file and add “PACKAGECONFIG_mx8mq = "x264"”in the file        c)Rename the file as 0-plugins-ugly_%.bbappend and put this file under /sources/meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-bsp/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer        d)Build the image you want, then download the new rootfs file in the board, use the command “gst-inspect-1.0 | grep x264”

Attached patch enable dual display on i.MX51 wince6. It will set DI0 as main display.

The patch is based on jb4.3_1.1.1-ga_rc2. Merge some commits from kitkat.

Purpose:  Introduce how to debug M4 using trace32 and the difference with general debug case.If you are using other jtag debug tools, maybe you need to do the similar configuration. Debug tools: Trace32 – you can refer to http://www.lauterbach.cn/ for more information about this tool. Firmware: Here we using Freertos as the example, but not limited to this. There is one small difference with general debug case to M4 in 6sx, which when you attach M4 and break M4, it may impact the peripheral that A9 is using. You may have found when you break M4, A9 uart console also was frozen at the same time. This is caused by that when M4 enter debug mode, the debug_req will also assert in the peripherals which you are using on the A9 system. So,need configure the peripherals to keep running when the debug_req is assert when do the M4/A9 debug separately. Need configure the DBGEN (*) register in the related peripherals to allow the eripherals not going into debug mode and keep running even if debug_req is HIGH. The peripherals we need take care are: CAN, UART, EPIT,GPT, ENET, PWM. Note: For the CAN, the register bit is called FRZ Here is the details of uart dbgen in the RM: So if we want debug M4 separately,we should disable this bit, as A9 was using this peripheral. Here we take Freertos as the example to illuminate how to debug M4 step by step: Enable DBGEN case: Load M4 image into memory and kick off M4. (You can refer to  for the details)           =>fatload mmc 2:1 0x9ff00000 hello_world_ddr.bin                reading hello_world_ddr.bin 18748 bytes read in 30 ms (609.4 KiB/s)           =>dcache flush           =>bootaux 0x9ff00000               ##Starting auxiliary core at 0x9FF00000                ...

Overview This document introduces how to setup i.MX6Dual/Quad and i.MX6Solo/DualLite Linux software for PCIe compliance test. Software Baselines i.MX6Dual/Quad: Linux BSP L2.6.35_1.0.0 i.MX6Solo/DualLite: Linux BSP L2.6.35_2.0.0 Software Changes To enable PCIe compliance test, PCIe software driver should not turn off PCIe clock and power in the tests. So the following changes are required: diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-mx6/pcie.c b/arch/arm/mach-mx6/pcie.c index 26d26f2..ad71085 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mach-mx6/pcie.c +++ b/arch/arm/mach-mx6/pcie.c @@ -801,6 +801,7 @@ static void __init add_pcie_port(void __iomem *base, void __iomem *dbi_base,      } else {          pr_info("IMX PCIe port: link down!\n"); +#if 0          /* Release the clocks, and disable the power */          pcie_clk = clk_get(NULL, "pcie_clk");          if (IS_ERR(pcie_clk)) @@ -820,6 +821,7 @@ static void __init add_pcie_port(void __iomem *base, void __iomem *dbi_base,          imx_pcie_clrset(IOMUXC_GPR1_TEST_POWERDOWN, 1 << 18,                  IOMUXC_GPR1); +#endif      } } Software Build Integrate the patch to the baseline code and recompile the kernel by following the instructions in Linux BSP user guide. Before recompile, please ensure the following configuration is enabled by selecting " System Type -> Freescale MXC Implementations -> PCI Express support" as "*": # MX6 Options: # CONFIG_IMX_PCIE=y

i.MX6 Quad/6Dual/6SoloLite Errata ERR006282: ROM code uses non-reset PFDs to generate clocks which may lead to random boot failures This PDF contains information about an issue affecting i.MX 6Quad/6Dual/6SoloLite Phase Fractional Dividers (PFDs) and boot. This erratum will be included in the next update of the i.MX6x Silicon Errata documentation but is being provided here for reference until then.

DirectFB DirectFB is a thin library that provides hardware graphics acceleration, input device handling and abstraction, integrated windowing system with support for translucent windows and multiple display layers, not only on top of the Linux Framebuffer Device. It is a complete hardware abstraction layer with software fallbacks for every graphics operation that is not supported by the underlying hardware. DirectFB adds graphical power to embedded systems and sets a new standard for graphics under Linux. [Source: directfb.org] DirectFB Quick Test Select DirectFB in Package List on LTIB1011: [x] DirectFB Select also DirectFB examples: [x] DirectFB examples Build your Linux. Flash your SD card. Launch your Linux image on your board, and then launch a DirectFB example: $ df_dok DirectFB benchmark is launched. Benchmark result on an i.MX 53 EVK:

In the older code, headphone router is always on, it is not a good choose for low power demand. This patch uses imx_hp_jack_gpio.jack_status_check to instead of w->event. It enables Ext Spk and disables Headphone Jack when Headphone Jack is plug in, it disables Headphone Jack and enables Ext Spk when Headphone is out.

Q: MX53 u-boot doc to enable the splash screen and went through Re: MX53 u-boot Splash Screen support but I can't seem to get the splash working on the VGA output.  A: FSL do not have solution / recommendations for VGA splash screen under U-boot. Only LVDS is supported. Typically, the Uboot bootloader does not interact with any display interface and does not have a splash screen displaying capability. To add this feature to Uboot on i.MX5 platform, the IPU driver should be included into the Uboot code. Looks like we do not have ready to use solution for the LCD. As an example for LCD configuring it makes sense to use LCD settings from Linux driver. Another approach - to use Linux (Penguin) logo (assuming Linux is booted quickly after U-boot) - at least, Linux supports more display drivers and its logo using is specified. follow up question is since the Tux the penguin logo is only 80x80 is it possible to make a larger image for the Linux start up logo? yes, you should configure kernel for the new image on make menuconfig That doesn’t help this H/W guy, but I think this may - https://community.freescale.com/thread/304300    look for  “#To change the splash screen of linux kernel (small penguine on top left corner)..“
