Minicom       It's a simple terminal program, easy to configure and use. Can be downloaded and installed from your Linux package distribution (Synaptic, apt-get, yum) or through this link.       Minicom is a terminal emulation that can access a remote serial console enabling the configuration of Bootloader or the flash file system of the board.   Configuring       Run Minicom calling it from Terminal:     $ minicom       Reach the cofiguration by typing CTRL-A Z Press key Z after releasing CTRL and A. Configure Minicom to work with i.MX, follow the procedure below.   Set the Serial Port       At the screen configuration, type O, choosing Configure Minicom In menu, choose Serial Port Setup Below, the configuration option:       +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | A - Serial Device  : /dev/ttyS0                            | | B - Lockfile Location  : /var/lock                          | | C - Callin Program  :                                          | | D - Callout Program  :                                        | | E - Bps/Par/Bits  : 115200 8N1                          | | F - Hardware Flow Control : No                          | | G - Software Flow Control : No                            | |                                                                        | | Change which setting?                                      | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+       Type the letter of option to enable the modification. Remember to choose the right Serial Device. Screen       Another useful program to use with serial ports is screen. It is a screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation usually available in Linux distributions. To open serial device /dev/ttyS0, for example, using 115200 baudrate, simply use:     $ screen /dev/ttyS0 115200       To kill the screen manager, use Ctrl + a, k. For a list of useful parameters and commands, try:     $ man screen

(   converted from discussion created by Alfred Latypov   IMX6 PCI with external cloks  )    Hello, I had a problem, to launch a board with an imx6 solo processor with a pci-express, and with external clock. I'll tell you my decision. On my motherboard there is a pci-switch PI7C9X2G606 from Pericom with 4 endpoints of Intel type 82574 ethernet controller. I used the Linux kernel version 4.9.16 In the device-tree file, I used the following options to enable external clocks for CLK1 input gate (100MHz). Sorry, I had to change the root imx6 device tree file. See attached (imx6*.dtsi) files. From ..kernel/arch/arm/boot/dts/.. Add anatop external clock source for clocks section, and change clk source for pcie-phy. ... anaclk1 {             compatible = "fixed-clock";             reg = <0>;             #clock-cells = <0>;             clock-frequency = <100000000>;  /* 100MHz */         }; ...

To get the FSL amrdecoder building and running on imx53 in 11.09 BSP: TIP: During debug for creation of these patches -> On the target, I had to make sure I had all the amr decoder libraries present, or it just wouldn't work. I narrowed those down by deleting "rm /root/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.arm.bin" and rerunning gst-inspect to rescan the plugins. With GST_DEBUG=3 I could see what libraries were missing and copied them over. But once everything was in place, it just worked. gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:////media/sd/media_file_with_amr_audio_encoding.3gp Attached are the new .spec files and patch files to get this to work.

Installing OpenOCD and GDB i.MX27 This tutorial was tested on i.MX27ADS REV. 2.6 and may not work on other board revision. Step 0: Installing the FTDI library The libFTDI is necessary when using JTAG based on FT2232 or others FTDI chips. LibFTDI need libusb, then install it first: $ sudo apt-get install libusb-dev Download libftdi from http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi: $ wget http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/download/libftdi-0.18.tar.gz Now decompress and install it: $ tar zxvf libftdi-0.18.tar.gz $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install Step 1: Compiling OpenOCD To compile OpenOCD you need to have GCC, Autoconf and automake installed. Get the OpenOCD source code (we are using rev. 1083): svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk openocd --revision 1399 Create the configure file and Makefile.in: $ ./bootstrap Run configure: $ ./configure --enable-ft2232_libftdi Compile: $ make Install it: $ sudo make install Step 2: Initializing OpenOCD Connect your JTAG interface on computer and i.MX27ADS board. Run OpenOCD passing as parameter the processor config and JTAG interface config: $ sudo openocd -f interface/myinterface.cfg -f board/imx27ads.cfg Replace myinterface.cfg by jtag interface you are using. In our case we are using Signalyzer Jtag Interface: $ sudo openocd -f interface/signalyzer.cfg -f board/imx27ads.cfg Note: We need to add "jtag_speed 5" on signalyzer.cfg in order to it works on i.MX27ADS. You will see this init message: # openocd -f interface/signalyzer.cfg -f board/imx27ads.cfg Open On-Chip Debugger 1.0 (2009-03-06-08:47) svn:1399 BUGS?

To create an arm GDB enter on LTIB -> Package List and select this: [*] gdb [ ]   gdb to run natively on the target [*]   cross gdb (runs on build machine) It will create the ARM GDB file at ~/ltib-dir/bin/gdb $ cd /home/alan/ltib-imx27ads-20071219/bin Copy this gdb binary to /usr/bin renaming it to arm-elf-gdb: $ sudo cp gdb /usr/bin/arm-elf-gdb Step 4: Debugging an application You can test the ledtest application to i.MX27ADS supplied by OpenOCD: Enter in ledtest directory: $ cd openocd/testing/examples/ledtest-imx27ads Run arm-elf-gdb passing as argument the gdbinit_imx27ads file: $ arm-elf-gdb --command=gdbinit-imx27ads You will see this gdb message: $ arm-elf-gdb --command=gdbinit_imx27ads GNU gdb 6.6 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

OpenGL OpenGL is the premier environment for developing portable, interactive 2D and 3D graphics applications. Since its introduction in 1992, OpenGL has become the industry's most widely used and supported 2D and 3D graphics application programming interface (API), bringing thousands of applications to a wide variety of computer platforms. OpenGL fosters innovation and speeds application development by incorporating a broad set of rendering, texture mapping, special effects, and other powerful visualization functions. Developers can leverage the power of OpenGL across all popular desktop and workstation platforms, ensuring wide application deployment. Source: http://www.opengl.org/about/overview/ On i.MX processors, OpenGL takes the advantage of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) block to improve 3D performance.

There is no Freescale GStreamer element which does the JPEG decoding, so we must rely on a standard one, like 'jpegdec'. In case your Linux system was built using LTIB, in order to have the jpegdec element included on the gst-plugin-good, follow these steps: On the LTIB menuconfig, make sure the following packages are selected: gstreamer-plugins-good libjpeg libpng Remove the configure parameters '--disbale-libpng' and '--disable-jpeg' on the file './dist/lfs-5.1/gst-plugins-good/gst-plugins-good.spec' Rebuild and flash your board (or SD card) again.

The new i.MX OTP Tools release is now available on http://www.freescale.com/, under this link. Change details: Fixes an issue with the rom-plugin device firmware that is used by BitBurner and otp_burner tools to program fuses. These tools are part of IMX_OTP_TOOLS package.    The plugin was failing to check the status whether the data packets have been received or not.    As such, at times before receiving data from host the firmware was processing the usb buffer    with previously sent or received data resulting in incorrect values being programmed. To fix    this issue we modified the firmware to make sure we receive the data before processing the usb buffer.                 Here is the sequence of usb transfers (protocol):                 1.            Cmd-phase: Host send cmd to write to otp register with cmd type, register index and number of registers to write                 2.            Data-phase: Host send data for values to write to otp register.                 3.            Status-phase: Device sends status to host                 4.            Cmd-phase: Host send cmd to read otp register to verify data written was correct                 5.            Data-phase: Device send data from otp registers                 6.            Status-phase: Device sends status to host   The problem was at #2 wherein device would process usb buffer before confirming whether data has received or not.
