[SOLVED] iMX53 Quick Start Board - LTIB Build Succeeded for [FSL gnome release Package] but (VGA) STARTX FAIL !

DannyChin_ng · ‎07-06-2011

Hi

I am currently working on i.MX53 QSB following the Freescale manual "i.MX53_START_Linux_BSP_UserGuide.pdf" and it did mentioned that "Please note that only the profiles of Min profile, FSL gnome release packages and mfg firmware profile pass build tests.". Below are some tests carried out to verify the above statement, the goal is to create a minimum Linux Desktop rootfs (with X) similiar to the MicroSD - Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) image which is came together inside the iMX53 QSB Box.

Test Procedure
=========================
Using the VM_Ubuntu.zip Vmware image provided by Freescale running in Vmware Player.

[LTIB Home Directory ]> ./ltib -c OR ./ltib --selectype (if you run it next time)

Screen 1:
- Platform choice: (Freescale iMX reference boards)
Screen 2:
- Choose the platform type: mx5x
- packages profile: use packages in [FSL gnome release package]
Screen 3 (LTIB main menu):
- Choose your board for u-boot: mx53_loco

* [Exit] and Start building .....

Below is the Test Result for each build profile type.

*** Pls Note that each test could take from 20 minutes to 4-7 hours.***

#############################################################################
Preconfig Min Profile - OK
#############################################################################

Test1: Succeed
==================================

- Follow the above Test Procedure
- Build success !
- Flashed the newly built u-boot,kernel and rootfs inside a MicroSD, follow Freescale guide and tweaking the u-boot prompt to boot from MMC an it tested OK inside iMX53 QSB with user root (without any password required).

- However, this rootfs is without X like Ubuntu Desktop , so I need to proceed to build the FSL gnome release package.

#############################################################################
FSL gnome release package - OK

Test1: Fail !

==================================

- Follow the above Test Procedure

- Build Fail !

- LTIB will start configuring and building, after long hours during building gnome-vfs ....

- Main Error =>

- Suspect => Missing Kerberos 5 authentication

Test2: Fail !

==================================

- Goal => Trying to solve "cannot find -lgssapi_krb5"

- Follow up from Test1:

- [LTIB]> ./ltib -m config

- Screen 3 -> Package list, add:
[ * ] Kerberos 5 authentication

==================================

Perhaps need to find a suitable libresolv src and manually build and add it to the LTIB rpm/BUILD or use alternative resolver during the krb5 configure stage.

To solve the resolver error

Test Summary
#############################################################################

Currently stopped at Test4, not sure how to proceed, seem like it is side effect of temporary bypassing the Resolver error earlier on using config_opts inside krb5.spec.

Test succeeded at Test 5

Anyone from Freescale Technical involved in testing and verifying the LTIB building of FSL gnome release package as mentioned inside " i.MX53_START_Linux_BSP_UserGuide.pdf" which clearly mention that "Please note that only the profiles of Min profile, FSL gnome release packages and mfg firmware profile pass build tests."or anyone has somehow successfully build the FSL gnome release package before, appreciate if you can share your secret. Currently, I can't find anything inside Freescale official guidelines which could make this work . Pls help !

Many Thank in advance.

while building LTIB with FSL gnome release packages in step5 its giving error in this step ./configure --prefix=%{_prefix} --host=$CFGHOST --build=%{_build} \

what is the reason for this

jimmychan · ‎09-23-2012

To resolve the problem "cannot find -lgssapi_krb5" when building gnome-vfs, just simply to remove or rename the /usr/bin/krb5-config file.

Hello Dean,

- The i.MX53 QSB BSP that serve to create the original SD-Card
come from Canonical.
See the following discussion:

http://imxcommunity.org/forum/topics/imx53-quick-start-board-the

- I don't think the BSP's that you can download from Freescale
have all the package found in the original SD-Card.

- I have not investigated on "How to re-create the original
SD-Card", but the key to this is probably in the discussion
link I mentioned above.

Regards,

Claude

Hi

I'm new to embedded system and iMX53 QSB.

I'm following your steps to build 'FSL gnome release package' with TWM and change 'startx' file and I success to enter a graphic system.

But the system doesn't same as the ubuntu system in the original microSD card.

It just has several directories, like 'Active Tasks', 'Office', Internet', ..., and 'Desktop Preference', on the Desktop.

What packages should I choose in the LTIB option?

Thanks.

Hello Philippe,

Glad to know that you fixed your problem.

i.MX53 QSB is a great target!

Hello,

I fixed my problem by replacing keyboard0 by event2 in startx script.

Best Regards,

Philippe.

philippecavenel · ‎11-08-2011

Hello Claude,

I am trying to use matchbox-window-manager on standard FSL gnome release packages (latest build 11.09). After some difficulties, I got the environment on my VGA display by following your explanation. I also used your startx script. The mouse is working fine but the keyboard doesn't work. In fact device /dev/input/keyboard0 is not present.

when I plug in the keyboard I have :

usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using fsl-ehci and address 4
usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1006
usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 2-1: Product: Keyboard Hub
usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Apple, Inc.
usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 000000000000
hub 2-1:1.0: USB hub found
hub 2-1:1.0: 3 ports detected
usb 2-1.2: new low speed USB device using fsl-ehci and address 5
usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=0221
usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 2-1.2: Product: Apple Keyboard
usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: Apple, Inc

On device, each time I unplug / plug my keyboard, I get two new devices :

crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 135 Jan 1 00:43 /dev/usbdev2.8
crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 136 Jan 1 00:43 /dev/usbdev2.9

(8 and 9 are incremented at each unplug / plug action, next values are 10 and 11 and so on).

I tried to use some other keyboards, but the result is the same, nothing happens when I press on keys.
I don't use touch screen and I have no LCD screen connected to my board.

Do you have any idea to fix that problem ?

Best Regards,

Philippe Cavenel.

Claude_Sylvain · ‎07-08-2011

- Ok... Got TWM running too :-)

- To be able to built TWM, I had to configure Ltib the following
way:
    - In "Package list"...
    - In "X11"...
    - Select "Built full modular X Server".
    - In "X11 libraries and packages"...
    - Select "xorg-x11-drv-keyboard", "xorg-x11-drv-mouse", "twm",
    "xterm".

Claude

DannyChin_ng · ‎07-08-2011

Actually TWM look pretty clean and cool. It show the originality of a "Windows" gui and it does look better than MS Windows 3.1 though. I feel that it is pretty light weight and good enough for application like Alarm Control Panel, Industrial meter, Oscilloscope, Car IVI and so on. I think we can tweak it somemore.

I will try to add "All X11 modular packages" when configuring Ltib.
I really want to see that TWM !

- My fault, I forgot the ":" in "-display" option when calling
twm :-(

- I really want to see that twm working on i.MX53 QSB! It's time to
me to make another Ltib session.

DannyChin_ng · ‎07-08-2011

Hi Claude,

Your new startx script for matchbox did work OK !!!

After export DISPLAY=:0, the matchbox Windows Manager WORK OK ! It show a blue color desktop with a row of folder icon (Active Tasks, office, Internet, .... Desktop Preference) on top, a clock (4:00am) and a "start menu" at the bottom. I guess it work right ?

The mouse and keyboard work OK , but the touchscreen (I am using a 22" touch screen LCD monitor) is a bit offset when being touch or touch-drag.

There is much thing I need to learn to use this matchbox and another desktop/windows manager. Hopefully one day, can manage to configure the Unity Desktop for it. Really thank for your time and you really save my day, keep in touch.

The fun with iMX53 QSB has just begun !

DannyChin_ng · ‎07-08-2011

Hi Claude,

Maybe inside my rootfs, I have added all X11 , modular packages during the build and somehow there is twm inside it.

root@freescale ~$ which twm
/usr/bin/twm

For the old startx script given, by trial and error, even there is no DISPLAY set, when I change "twm -display 0 &" ==> "twm -display :0 &", somehow it WORK ! , I can see "X" and mouse left click will bring up the TWM green color drop down menu where I can see the "Iconify,Resize....Xterm, Kill...." . Wow ! first time looking at TWM, back to 80" but it did work.

I will try to use the new startx script given to see if the Matchbox can work out or not .

Thanks a lot Claude, you really save my day !

Claude_Sylvain · ‎07-08-2011

- Sorry Danny,
The "startx" I sent to you is obsolete. It do not work, since
it call "twm", and it is not there.

- I have attached the "startx" that I use actually (on a i.MX53 QSB).

- For the errors you mention, it is like "startx" was started twice.
This is really strange.

- Remarks:
With the attached "startx" you will get "XKB" errors. This error
are non-fatal. X server and Matchbox can work, even with this errors.

Claude

DannyChin_ng · ‎07-08-2011

Hi Claude,

Just for some reference, this attached file showing all logs started from iMX53 QSB power up, login, environment variables and list of all the running processes and the startx script used.

Beside, from the /dev/input , can't really find the /dev/input/keyboard0 as specified in the new startx script.

Hello Danny,

- Lot of questions...
I will try to answer them all, the best I can...

- Do not really understand why you use "./ltib -c" and "./ltib --selectype",
since the procedure in chapter 2.2 seems to be sufficient.
I only use procedure in chapter 2.2, and it works for me.

- Matchbox is the default Windows/Desktop manager when selecting
FSL gnome Release packages.
- I only use VGA (TVE) output. See below...

- I think that the "L2.6.35_11.03_ER_source_bundle.tar.gz" was the
package previously available from the i.MX53 QSB download page.
From my experience, this package to not work with the
i.MX 53 QSB. The Kernel seems to not support the VGA (TVE) output.

- I attached the "startx" script I use for my i.MX53 QSB.
This is a patched script that avoid the "_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer"
errors and start X using a keyboard and a mouse (not the touch screen).
This is a ugly patch, but it works for me.

Hi Claude,

From another Freescale iMX53 Download links:-

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=i.MX...

L2.6.35_11.01.00_ER_source_bundle.tar.gz => iMX53 QSB

L2.6.35_11.03_ER_source_bundle.tar.gz => iMX53 Sabre Platform

L2.6.35_11.05.01_ER_source_bundle.tar.gz => iMX53 Sabre Platform

Wondering if we can also use 11.03 and 11.05 for iMX53 QSB ?
