Can't generate a imx28_ivt_uboot.sb

[munoz0raul]

Hello,

I have a ltib linux that work fine with imx28_ivt_linux.sb file and rootfs that I compiled with commands:

./ltib
and
./ltib -p boot_stream.spec -f

But this linux just show in console the Kernel and rootfs.

Now I need to create a linux that use U-boot and my ltib configurations.

The doccument "i.MX28_Linux_BSP_UG.pdf" show that the command "./ltib -p boot_stream.spec -f" generate the "imx28_ivt_linux.sb" file "and imx28_ivt_uboot.sb"!

"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
4.2 Building the boot stream image
In LTIB, to build a new Linux Kernel and U-Boot boot stream image, give the command:
$ ./ltib -p boot_stream.spec -f

The output boot stream images are available in rootfs/boot/ directory, named
imx28_linux.sb and imx28_uboot.sb for HAB-disabled images, and imx28_ivt_linux.sb
and imx28_ivt_uboot.sb for HAB-enabled images. The i.MX28 EVK is shipped with HAB
enabled by default."
"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

But when I look in the "rootfs/boot" directory I can just see the "imx28_ivt_linux.sb" file.

My question is, what I need to do to create a "imx28_ivt_uboot.sb" file!

Thanks For all Help!

You Are correct!

Some one have commented this part of the makefile.

Another questions that I have....

The Files "imx28_ivt_linux.sb" and "imx28_ivt_uboot.sb" are the boot steam for Kernel Image and the boot steam for uBoot Image Correct?

But if I want to use another zImage or u-Boot, from another dist that supporte imx28!

How I create the boot steam?

or

What the command "./ltib -p boot_steam.spec -f" do before the makefile part that you show me?

Thanks For all Help!

You are obvisouly using an old Makefile in imx-bootlets-src-10.12.01

As many of the commented out lines in mine or not in yours, and you are missing the elftosb instruction to generate the uboot boot stream.

Please modify your Makefile (in imx-bootlets-src-):

This is what you execute to generate the mx28_ivt_linux.sb ->

ifeq "$(DFT_IMAGE)" "$(wildcard $(DFT_IMAGE))"
    @echo "by using the rootfs/boot/zImage"
    sed -i 's,[^ *]zImage.*;,\tzImage="$(DFT_IMAGE)";,' linux.bd
    sed -i 's,[^ *]zImage.*;,\tzImage="$(DFT_IMAGE)";,' linux_ivt.bd
    elftosb -z -c ./linux.bd -o i$(ARCH)_linux.sb
    elftosb -z -f imx28 -c ./linux_ivt.bd -o i$(ARCH)_ivt_linux.sb

-> this part is obviously not executed as the text below is not being displayed:
    @echo "by using the rootfs/boot/u-boot"
    sed -i 's,[^ *]u_boot.*;,\tu_boot="$(DFT_UBOOT)";,' uboot.bd
    sed -i 's,[^ *]u_boot.*;,\tu_boot="$(DFT_UBOOT)";,' uboot_ivt.bd
    elftosb -z -c ./uboot.bd -o i$(ARCH)_uboot.sb
    elftosb -z -f imx28 -c ./uboot_ivt.bd -o i$(ARCH)_ivt_uboot.sb

Therefore add these above lines in the first branch of the ifeq.

hi everybody, i'm using i.MX28evk  and LTIB, imx-bootlets-src version 10.08.00, i need imx28_ivt_linux.sb but LTIB can only create imx28_linux.sb .so,how to create a ivt sb from this LTIB.thansks!

I did what did you tell me but I cant do see ivt_uboot!!!

Im sending a file with console!

[Rodrigue]

try by removing in rpm/RPMS/arm the imx-bootlet

then launch again ./ltib

then you see those lines being executed:

generating linux kernel boot stream image
by using the rootfs/boot/zImage
sed -i 's,[^ *]zImage.*;,\tzImage="/home/imx/mx28/L2.6.35_10.12.01_ER_source/ltib/rootfs/boot/zImage";,' linux.bd

elftosb -z -c ./linux.bd -o imx28_linux.sb
elftosb -z -f imx28 -c ./linux_ivt.bd -o imx28_ivt_linux.sb

elftosb -z -c ./uboot.bd -o imx28_uboot.sb
elftosb -z -f imx28 -c ./uboot_ivt.bd -o imx28_ivt_uboot.sb

what do you have in your compilation log?

I selected in
$./ltib –m config
Choose your bootloader:
->uboot

And when I run ./ltib, I can see in rootfs/boot, the u-boot

I'm sending the platform/imx/defconfig.d File.

Any sugestion?

[Rodrigue]

Hi Raul,

It can only create the uboot boot stream if u-boot has been compiled before.

If you look ate the Makefile, it uses the generated binary to generate the sb (bootstream file.

Is u-boot being selected in your config file and compiled?

check here platform/imx/defconfig.dev

br,

Rod
