Overview Resources Download Ubuntu 12.04.01 Download i.MX28EVK BSP and Documents Ubuntu Host Setup Host Package Update Ubuntu Configuration PDF Sudo Priviledges Default Shell CCACHE Directory Layout Extract SDK and Documents Install BSP Sources Ubuntu Software Packages for LTIB Patching LTIB Create SD Card Using Ubuntu Host Media Booting Selection Cable Connections   Overview Freescale's i.M28EVK development kit provides a platform for running software and evaluating features of the i.MX28 processor. This document provides the details for running the Linux Board Support Package (BSP) on the Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit Precise Pangolin Host on an Intel/AMD architecture computer. The 32-bit host is not covered in this document and does have different configuration steps than described here.   An Ubuntu Linux host is used to cross-compile the BSP creating ARM images. The BSP provides a build system named Linux Target Image Builder, (LTIB),  the GNU tool suite for compiling and debugging, U-Boot boot loader, Linux kernel, and a root file system. Resources i.M28EVK- i.MX28 Evaluation Kit Web Page MCIMX28EVKJ Product Summary Page- i.MX28 Download Collateral L2.6.36_MX28_SDK_10.12_Source- BSP Source Download Linux documentation - i.MX28EVK Documentation Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (Precise Pangolin)- Ubuntu 12.04 Release Download Ubuntu 12.04.01 A dedicated computer running Ubuntu or a Virtual Machine, (VMware or VirtualBox), can be used for running the Host Ubuntu software. The Ubuntu image is available for downloaded from the Ubuntu site: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (Precise Pangolin).   This Ubuntu host ISO was used with the md5 checksum: ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso  06472ddf11382c8da1f32e9487435c3d   One way to acquire the ISO is to use zsync to download: zsync http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync  Once downloaded, installing the ISO is user preference - either a dedicated Linux PC or in a Virtual Machine.   Download i.MX28EVK BSP and Documents The BSP download is from this site L2.6.36_MX28_SDK_10.12_Source and the documents from Linux documentation that requires a free registration to specify login credentials,   436e0b8e1c7976c657d530a45f9dbd0c L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_source_bundle.tar.gz de0274320a17c1e989d1ef5c088973e2 L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_docs.tar.gz   Ubuntu Host Setup Ubuntu login credentials of User: user Password: user are used for this documents. Host Package Update Once logged in to the Ubuntu host, the existing packages are brought up to date to the latest version before installing the BSP. The Ubuntu package manager used is apt-get. $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade  01. Check all installed packages for new revisions 02. all newer packages found are installed.   Addtional packages are required for the ltib build system. Ubuntu Configuration PDF evince is the default pdf reader, another option is zathura. $ sudo apt-get install zathura Sudo Priviledges LTIB requires super user priviledges for some operations. To enable a visudo entry is added to the sudo'ers file. For more information run 'man visudo'.   $ sudo visudo  The first word, user, is the login account 'user' This can be changed to whatever login you used, or if you have groups configured you can provide a group that developers are in - refer to the man page for sudo for details. Add this line:   user ALL =NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rpm/ /opt/freescale/ltib/usr/bin/rpm   Default Shell Ubuntu uses the default shell 'dash'. This however causes failures on bash scripting which is part of the ltib system. Change the default shell from 'dash' to 'bash'   $ sudo update-alternatives --install /bin/sh sh /bin/bash 1  CCACHE ccache provides a fast C/C++ compiler cache which is supported in the ltib system. To configure once the ccache package has been installed: $ sudo apt-get install ccache $ ccache -M 50M $ ccache -c  02. Set the cache limit to 50 Meg 03. Clear the cache folder   Directory Layout The following directory structure is used: /home/user/freescale/imx28/ |-- archive |-- L2.6.35_10.12.01_ER_source |-- L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_docs |-- L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_scripts |-- ltib |-- ubuntu-imx28-ltib-patch   The archive directory is where the BSP and documents are stored; command to create the directory: $ mkdir -p ~/freescale/imx28/archive   Extract SDK and Documents The following instructions were used to extract the contents of the Software Development Kit:   $ cd ~/freescale/imx28/archive $ tar -zxf L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_source_bundle.tar.gz -C ..    01. Change into the directory containing the tar ball that is compressed. 02. Extract the contents into the directory above (-C ..) the current directory -z unzip -x extract -f L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_source_bundle.tar.gz   $ tar -zxf L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_docs.tar.gz  01. Extract the contents into the directory above (-C ..) the current directory     -z unzip     -x extract     -f L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_docs.tar.gz this file The contents of both tar files are now in the directory /home/user/freescale/imx28. Install BSP Sources After extracting the content from the L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_source_bundle.tar.gz the file L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK.source.tar.gz contains all the sources and the build system. Extract the contents and install. This will create the ltib directory which is the build system. $ tar -zxf L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_source.tar.gz $ cd L2.6.35_10.12.01_ER_source $ ./install  Read the license information and accept by entering YES. An installation directory is then asked for, providing:  .. which is the parent directory. The installation script copies the packages and will inform you that 'Installation complete, your ltib installation has been placed in ../ltib, to complete the installation: cd .../ltib ./ltib  HOWEVER before doing this, there are packages and patches that need to be applied to run ltib on Ubuntu 12.04.01. Ubuntu Software Packages for LTIB The following packages are required. The script pkg-setup.sh attached below has these packages which can be downloaded and executed to install. $ sh pkg-setup.sh  sudo apt-get -y install gettext libgtk2.0-dev rpm bison m4 libfreetype6-dev sudo apt-get -y install libdbus-glib-1-dev liborbit2-dev intltool sudo apt-get -y install ccache zlib1g zlib1g-dev gcc g++ libtool sudo apt-get -y install uuid-dev liblzo2-dev tcl wget libncurses5-dev sudo apt-get -y install libncursesw5-dev lib32z1 libglib2.0-dev xsltproc sudo apt-get -y install ia32-libs libc6-dev-i386 The file pkg2-setup.sh contains optional packages for development. To install, download and execute: $ sh pkg2-setup.sh Please refer to the document ltib_build_host_setup.pdf for more information on host setup. Patching LTIB The location of files from the glibc-devel and zlib Ubuntu 12.04 packages has changed from 9.0.4 Ubuntu which the original ltib was released against. To update ltib operation the following patches are implemented from the directory ~/freescale/imx28/ltib 1. The file ltib is changed at line 2387 adding the '-v' option to the rpm call OLD:     system('rpm --force-debian 2>/dev/null') == 0? NEW:     system('rpm -v --force-debian 2>/dev/null') == 0? 2. The file bin/Ltibutils.pm is updated to support glibc-devel and zlib.   glibc-devel update: Line 563 add check for /usr/lib32/libm.so 'glibc-devel' => sub {-f 'usr/lib/libm.so' || -f '/usr/lib64/libz.so' || -f '/usr/lib32/libm.so'},   zlibc update: Line 584 add /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so* zlib => sub{my @f = (glob('/usr/lib/libz.so*'),               glob('/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so*'),               glob('/lib/libz.so*'),   The above patches are also in the attachment 0001-patches-for-12.04-ubuntu.patch.   LTIB packages also need adjustments to correctly build on Ubuntu. The tar file below, ubuntu-imx28-ltib-patch.tgz contains all the updates. Download and extract the contents at the same directory level as your ltib source directory. $ tar -zxf ubuntu-imx28-ltib-patch.tgz ├── ltib ├── ubuntu-imx28-ltib-patch └── ubuntu-imx28-ltib-patch.tgz Change directories to ubuntu-imx28-ltib-patch and then run the install-patches.sh script. $ cd ubuntu-imx28-ltib-patch $ ./install-patches.sh   The following packages are updated: lkc mtd-utils mux_server sparse Create SD Card Using Ubuntu Host The tar file L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_scripts.tar.gz contains scripts for writing the images from the ltib build to a SD card. Extract the content, copy the scripts to the ltib directory, and update the mk_mx28_sd script to work with the updated fdisk command.   $ tar -zxf L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_scripts.tar.gz $ cd L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_scripts $ cp mk_hdr.sh ~/freescale/imx28/ltib $ cp mk_mx28_sd ~/freescale/imx28/ltib $ cd ~/freescale/imx28/ltib  Edit mk_mx28_sd script and add the 'u' at line 177 then the o command after. This changes cylinders to sectors.   OLD: echo "o n   NEW: echo "u o n   Once updated to create the SD card which is at /dev/sdb: $ ./mk_mx28_sd /dev/sdb  NOTE: if mounted automatically, you need to unmount for the script to work $ sudo umount /dev/sdb*      Media Booting Selection The i.MX28EVK has a boot option to execute from the SD Card in Slot 0 which is located on the bottom of the EVK. On the top of the EVK there are switches that are read during the start up process to determine what boot media to use. The SD Card in slot 0 is used for this example which requires the settings: B3/DIP1 B2/DIP2 B1/DIP3 B0/DIP4 1 0 0 1 Refer to the user guide, i.MX28_Linux_BSP_UG.pdf section 3.2.1. Boot Modes for all options. The user guide is found in the Linux documentation bundle documentation.  Refer to the next section for a picture showing the boot switch location and the SD Card Slot 0 location. Cable Connections A computer serial port is connected to the i.MX28EVK serial port. The communication setting is 115200 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit. There is NO flow control set for this port. This is typically shown as 115200, 8N1. The power supply is connected

Question: 1)      Is WDOG2 somehow accessible from customers code in normal mode? Is it only used within the trust zone to protect against DOS attacks from normal world?) 2)      Is there any mechanism preventing changing of the watchdog registers like being able to write them only during a period after Reset? If yes, which registers are protected? Answer: WDOG1 and WDOG2 are identical the only difference is how the signals are connected. There is nothing presenting someone from using both WDOGs for non-secure purposes. There is no time window for WDOG access but there are some write-once only bits in the register, which can be written only once after reset, after that all following writes will be ignored. They are clearly described in the RM. The bits are: WDZST, WDBG, WDW, WDE, WDT, WIE, WICT, and PDE.

I've recently done some digging into fstrim feature on sabresd-6q. Here list it below detailed: Background:      When Nexus 7 first came out, many users felt it was speedy and high-performance. But after months of installing applications and using the tablet, things began slowing down.This was a friction point that many hoped would be fixed in the new Nexus 7 (2013) model, which it was. There’s even more to the story though, it turns out Google has fixed that storage I/O aging problem on all Nexus devices with the Android 4.3 update which comes with a little-hyped feature that could be huge for performance in the future – TRIM support via fstrim. Why slowing down?      Remember that deleting a file in software isn't actually communicated to solid state storage (whether SSD or eMMC). The space is freed up from the user's perspective, but the eMMC controller in this case still treats the pages in NAND as having valid data. Let's say you copy a 3GB movie to your internal storage, watch the movie and later delete it. You'd have 3GB free to re-use, but until you re-write those blocks the eMMC controller would treat all 3GB as valid data. There's a data structure used by the eMMC controller that tracks mapping logical locations to physical locations in NAND. I won't go into great detail here but the more complex that mapping becomes, and the more locations that have to be tracked, the slower internal NAND management works. Why SSD has such issue? Root cause is "Flash memory is divided into blocks, which is further divided in pages. The minimum write unit is a page, but the smallest erase unit is a block" which will cause fragments as time goes. Why fstrim?      Fstrim is one mechanism of linux filesystem which derives from TRIM. TRIM is already introduced since linux2.6.33. It is the name of a command that the operating system can send to tell the SSD which blocks are free in the filesystem.The SSD uses this information to internally defragment the blocks and keep free pages available to be written quickly and efficiently. How framework triggers fstrim in android4.3?      Android4.3 introduces a new service IdleMaintenanceService to manage when and how trigger fstrim in right time. Once system satisfies the following conditions, it will send out one "ACTION_IDLE_MAINTENANCE_START" intent which the MountService listens for. Last time  "ACTION_IDLE_MAINTENANCE_START" intent has been sent before 24 hours. The device is either off-charger with 80% battery or on-charger with 30% battery The device can go idle state. User don't use it for 71 minutes. Test fstrim on Imx.6      In order to wait little time to trigger fstrim, I tried to change the following variables not to wait 71 minutes and 24 hours. After changing, it will trigger one time fstrim two minutes after system goes into idle state every 30 minutes. --- a/services/java/com/android/server/IdleMaintenanceService.java +++ b/services/java/com/android/server/IdleMaintenanceService.java -    private static final long MIN_IDLE_MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL_MILLIS = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // 1 day +    private static final long MIN_IDLE_MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL_MILLIS = 30 * 60 * 1000; // 30 minute -    private static final long MIN_USER_INACTIVITY_IDLE_MAINTENANCE_START = 71 * 60 * 1000; // 71 min +    private static final long MIN_USER_INACTIVITY_IDLE_MAINTENANCE_START = 2 * 60 * 1000; // 2 min -    private static final long MAX_IDLE_MAINTENANCE_DURATION = 71 * 60 * 1000; // 71 min +    private static final long MAX_IDLE_MAINTENANCE_DURATION = 2 * 60 * 1000; // 2 min Firstly I  run Quadrant apk to see my I/O performance at beginning, Its score is 3544. During this 30 minutes, you can try to mess your system. Try your best to install most apks. Run monkey test in background. Then I  run Quadrant again to check my I/O performance, its score is only a little decline 3538. After that I run "logcat | busybox grep -i fstrim" in console to wait for the action of fstrim, here is my logcat: 130|root@sabresd_6dq:/ # logcat -d | busybox grep -i fstrim I/fstrim  ( 2344): Starting fstrim work... I/fstrim  ( 2344): Invoking FITRIM ioctl on /data I/fstrim  ( 2344): Trimmed 6367305728 bytes on /data I/fstrim  ( 2344): Invoking FITRIM ioctl on /cache I/fstrim  ( 2344): Trimmed 526355456 bytes on /cache I/fstrim  ( 2344): Finished fstrim work. OK, I checked the I/O information again, its score is restored to 3546: Conclusion      Good, fstrim takes effect. So on imx.6 using android4.3, fstrim will also work automatically. We will also enjoy good performance in I/O memory.Great!

i.MX evaluation board can be a simple solution to program i.MX boards in a factory for instance. i.MX evaluation board are not for industrial usage, but you can find plenty of cheap i.MX insdustrial boards on the web. Here I am using an i.MX8QXP rev B0 MEK board and I will program an i.MX6Q SABRE SD board. The first step is to generate your image. Follow the documentation steps to generate the "validation" image. You will have to customize a little bit the local.conf file (in conf/local.conf) to have git, cmake, gcc and other missing package. edit local.conf and add the following lines at the end of the file: IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " git cmake htop packagegroup-core-buildessential xz p7zip rsync"‍‍‍‍‍ I have added rsync package in local, it can replace cp (copy) but with the --progress option you can see the copy progression. P7zip replace unzip for our images archives avaialable on nxp.com as unzip as issues with big files. then rebake your image: bitbake -k fsl-image-validation-imx‍‍‍‍‍ When it is done, go in tmp/deploy/image/<your image generated> and use uuu to program your board (I use a sd card; thus I can increase the partition esily): sudo ./uuu -b sd_all imx-boot-imx8qxpmek-sd.bin-flash fsl-image-validation-imx-imx8qxpmek.sdcard.bz2/*‍‍‍‍‍ As the rootfs can be too small, use gparted under Linux for instance to increase the size of the partition. Put the SD card and start your board. Here here the dirty part... You may know archlinux|ARM websitesite (Arch Linux ARM ), you have a lots of precompiled packages. Thus on the board you can download it, and copy the file in /usr folder (you can use it to have the latest openSSL for  instance!). Plug an ethernet cable on the board and check if it is up: ifconfig -a ifconfig eth0 up‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Now you should have access to the internet. On uuu webpage you can find all the packages you need (here I am using a 4.14.98_2.0.0 Linux): mkdir missinglibs cd missinglibs wget http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/core/bzip2-1.0.8-2-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz wget http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/core/nettle-3.5.1-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz wget http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/core/libusb-1.0.22-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz wget http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/extra/libzip-1.5.2-2-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz wget http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/core/zlib-1:1.2.11-3-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz wget http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/extra/p7zip-16.02-5-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz cd ..‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Wait all the archives are downloaded (otherwise you'll decompress before the archive is downloaded) as wget is running in background! Now untar the archives and copy it in the rootfs (dirty): tar -xJf libzip-1.5.2-2-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz tar -xJf libusb-1.0.22-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz tar -xJf nettle-3.5.1-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz tar -xJf bzip2-1.0.8-2-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz cp zlib-1:1.2.11-3-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz zlib tar -xJf zlib tar -xJf p7zip-16.02-5-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz cd usr sudo cp -R . /usr cd ../../ ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Download and compile uuu: git clone git://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools.git cd mfgtools/ cmake . make‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Download an image on nxp.com for instance. I have downloaded on the i.MX6 4.14.98_2.0.0 image and put it on a usb key. then unzip it in the uuu folder: 7z e L4.14.98_2.0.0_ga_images_MX6QPDLSOLOX.zip‍‍‍‍ As mentionned before unzip cannot hadle big files... so use 7z as me plug the i.MX6Q SABRE SD to the i.MX8X and program your i.MX6 board: ./uuu uuu.auto-imx6qsabresd‍ uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.3.74-0-g64eeca1 Success 1 Failure 0 ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Introduction Time Synchronization stands for the alignment of time within distributed nodes, pretty critical for real-time applications, control and measurement systems as voice and video networks; all of them being embedded applications. It needs the synchronization of frequency, phase and time between all the nodes and offers action coordination, high precision triggers and event reference or timestamping. [1] A Time Synchronization resource it's the ethernet standard for time PTP or IEEE 1588 standard, its study begin with the physical representation of time information: PPS; Pulse Per Second. An squared wave timed by the capable MACs, in i.MX families we have two MACs of which. Background Customers are interested in this signal, we have an i.MX 8M Plus kernel 5 resource but there is a new processor family using the next major kernel version; 6. [2] We will go through demonstrating PPS on i.MX 93 EVK in both MACs; FEC and EQOS. HW setup i.MX 93 EVK boot over eMMC. Connect power and debug receptacles. Hands-on for FEC or eth0 MAC uSDHC2 pin group conflicts with the pps output pin and you are ought to remove the uSDHC2 nodes and assign the event0 out pin to the FEC pin group as shown below. --- imx93-11x11-evk.dts 2024-08-23 18:19:56.344798901 +0200 +++ imx93-11x11-evk-pps.dts 2024-09-02 21:31:46.569477421 +0200 @@ -100,18 +100,6 @@ regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>;

Introduction This document intends to describe how to implement workaround for ERR050145 (ISI: Memory overwrite occurring outside of allocated buffer space corrupting system memory) based on Linux BSP. ERR050145 is applicable for i.MX8QM B0, i.MX8QXP B0 series products.   Software Platform Reference patches stated into this document are developed and validated on L4.14.98_GA2.0.0 release.   Software Workaround As workaround stated, the xRDC can be programmed to grant write access to the ISI only within its allocated frame buffer space, which can prevent the corruption. So under Linux, we can consider to implement workaround like so: Create children partition for ISI and allocate buffers. Then Linux can access these buffers as normal, but ISI can't access other memory out of these buffers, it is limited by xRDC hardware. Considering the xRDC hardware can only support up to 16 memory regions, we may need to consider different workaround implementations for different camera use case scenarios.   For single camera use case, the required camera buffer number is usually less than 16. So “0001-iMX8QM-iMX8QX-ERR050145-ISI-overwrite-workaround.patch” is enough. No modification is needed for camera application in this case.   For multiple camera use case, all patches (0001~0003) are needed. If the camera application used VB2_MEMORY_MMAP memory mode, then no code modification is needed in application. The V4l2 ISI driver can handle everything (Allocate physical continued memory for each camera, and map them as one xRDC memory region for overwrite protect). If the camera application used VB2_MEMORY_USERPTR and VB2_MEMORY_DMABUF memory mode, then it needs allocate camera buffers with physical continued memory for each camera, then the driver will merge them as one xRDC memory region in SCFW.   How to prove workaround take effective? After applying the patches, the ISI will report AXI_WR_ERR due to it failed to write data out of the allocated buffers when the errata happens. To reduce the ISI interrupt, we can also change the ISI interrupt setting as followed: void mxc_isi_enable_irq(struct mxc_isi_dev *mxc_isi) {     u32 val;     val = CHNL_IER_FRM_RCVD_EN_MASK |         CHNL_IER_EXCS_OFLW_V_BUF_EN_MASK |         CHNL_IER_EXCS_OFLW_U_BUF_EN_MASK |         CHNL_IER_EXCS_OFLW_Y_BUF_EN_MASK;     writel(val, mxc_isi->regs + CHNL_IER); }   Add reference patch for L5.4.70_2.3.0 and L5.10.72_2.2.0.

1  Introduction   This document explains how to configure a cross compiler running in iMX6Q. The target is the Kinetis L family.  For the iMX6Q, Yocto is used to generate the iMX6Q image. 2 Requirements   Basic knowledge of Yocto and Linux is required. The steps explained were performed for the iMX6Q SABRE-SD and the Freedom KL25.  Installation of Yocto in your host system is needed too. 3 Procedure   The chosen method to configure the cross compiler for the Kinetis L, needs a native compiler that will run in the iMX6Q. Below are the general steps:   Generate native compiler for the iMX6Q and adding the needed packages for the configuration. Get and extract the source packages of the compiler. Configure, build and install the packages Test the generated cross compiler   3.1 Generating packages and native compiler for the iMX6Q   The iMX6Q image needs certain packages in order to configure and generate correctly the cross-compiler. After setting up the environment and chose the MACHINE the below lines added in the local.conf file to install those packages in our rootfs:   IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " gcc g++ binutils libgcc libgcc-dev libstdc++ libstdc++-dev libstdc++-staticdev gawk gzip perl autoconf automake libtool gettext gperf tcl guile gmp mpfr make m4 texinfo flex bison git"   The image to generate is the core-image-minimal:   bitbake core-image-minimal   Once the building is finished, a native compiler for the iMX6 and other packages needed to configure the Kinetis Compiler should be added to the Yocto image. 3.2 Getting and Extracting the Kinetis L compiler   The arm cross compiler version was gotten from CodeSourcery. arm-2011.03-42-arm-none-eabi is used in this document. You can get the source code by:   wget https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/package8736/public/arm-none-eabi/arm-2011.03-42-arm-none-eabi.src.tar.bz2   Once the image was built, boot the imx6 board with this image. Copy the source code (arm-2011.03-42-arm-none-eabi.src.tar.bz) in your target that is running Linux and extract the files.   For example, a new folder was created in /home/root directory:   $ mkdir gcc_test $ cd gcc_test   And extract the files in this folder:   $ tar –jxvf  arm-2011.03-42-arm-none-eabi.src.tar.bz2 $ cd arm-2011.03-42-arm-none-eabi   Create a source and a build folder:   $ mkdir source build   Move all the files to the source folder:   $ mv *.tar.bz2 source/   Create a new folder in /opt where the kinetis cross compiler will be installed   $ cd /opt              $ mkdir arm-none-eabi   3.3 Configure, Build and Install Kinetis Compiler on the iMX6   To configure, build and install the compiler these general steps are followed for certain packages:   Extract the package Configure the package Build and Install the package   Create an environment variable that will specify where the cross compiler will be installed:   $ export INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/arm-none-eabi   3.3.1 GMP Package   Extract the gmp files: $ cd ~/gcc_test/arm-2011.03-42-arm-none-eabi/source $ tar –jxvf gmp-2011.03-42.tar.bz2   Create a new folder in build directory.

In order to improve the speed of compilation, VMWare Player 14.0 is installed on local hard disk, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is installed on a SSD with at least 500GB size and USB3.1 specification. When installing ubuntu 18.04 LTS to SSD, it should be allocated at least 350GB of disk space, because compiling this version of android requires a larger disk space. The following are detailed compilation steps: Part l Configuring Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 1. Installing Ubuntu 18.04 on VMplayer 14.0 After installation is done, root user should be set at first. # sudo passwd root Then follow these steps to configuration ubuntu 18.04 for environment of compiliation --Changing sources of ubuntu 18.04 mirror If you are Chinese users, you can do the step, which can improve your system performance. # sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak # sudo geit /etc/apt/source.list Comment I.MX customers outside China do not need to modify Ubuntu source list, or can modify it to local mirror site of Ubuntu 18.04, which can improve the speed of software upgrade.    Delet all sources and copy following lines here, Then save it and exit Changing ubuntu source deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse # deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse    Then running these 2 commands to update sources and packages    # sudo apt-get update    # sudo apt-get upgrade 2. Installing packages for compiliation Packages for compiliation # sudo apt-get install flex bison gperf build-essential zlib1g-dev lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc # sudo apt-get install uuid-dev:i386 liblzo2-dev:i386 gcc-multilib g++-multilib subversion openssh-server openssh-client uuid uuid-dev zlib1g-dev liblz-dev lzop liblzo2-2 liblzo2-dev git-core curl # sudo apt-get install u-boot-tools mtd-utils android-tools-fsutils openjdk-8-jdk device-tree-compiler aptitude libcurl4-openssl-dev nss-updatedb # sudo apt-get install chrpath texinfo gawk cpio diffstat gdisk m4 libz-dev libssl-dev Part 2 Compiling Android Q10.0.0_2.1.0 BSP 1. Downloading NXP source code for Android Q10.0.0_2.1.0    File name is imx-android-10.0.0_2.1.0.tar.gz.    Copy the file to ~/, and decompress it.    # cd ~/    # tar zxvf ./imx-android-10.0.0_2.1.0.tar.gz    Then “imx-android-10.0.0_2.1.0” directory is created at ~/, now run the command to download android source code. # source ./imx-android-10.0.0_2.1.0/imx_android_setup.sh Comment imx_android_setup.sh is a script file, which includes all steps needed by the environment of android Q10.0.0_2.1.0 BSP. If network environment is enough good, several hours later, it will be done. 2. Compiling Android Q10.0.0_2.1.0 Referring to steps in Android_User's_Guide.pdf, We summaries steps for compilation here: (1) Preparing cross-compile tool chain    In Android_User's_Guide.pdf, 2 kinds of tool chain are recommended for users. --- gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-elf.tar.xz --- gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz    Users can select one of them, and then decompress it to /opt/ directory. On how to download them or more details, see Android_User's_Guide.pdf, page 3. Here we will use gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz as tool chain. (2) Beginning to Compile Android Q10.0.0_2.1.0 BSP    Since this version of Android BSP requires high memory capacity when compiling, if the memory configuration of the virtual machine is incorrect, it is very likely to cause the compilation to fail. The following is a list of variable tests for user reference: # cd android_build # export AARCH64_GCC_CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- # source build/envsetup.sh # lunch evk_8mp-userdebug # ./imx-make.sh -j2 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt Part 3 Errors During Compilation 1. Allocating 8GB Memory For VMware Player # ./imx-make.sh -j1 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt 2. Allocating 12GB Memory For VMware Player # ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt # ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt (Run it again) # ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt (Run it again)       So if we use 4 thread to compile BSP, command for compilation will have to be run for 3 times.
