The attached application note details the steps for setting up a 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric virtual machine and then installing the source bundle for the i.MX53 L2.6.35-11-09-01 which was released for the the i.MX53 START_R, (Freescale PMIC) but also works on the START (Dialog PMIC).

NOTE: In the attached application note document below there is a tgz file containing patches. When copying to your Linux host make sure that CR/LF were not added by Windows when extracting and that the md5 checksums are correct for the patch files. To verify yourself, you can in the extraction directory run:

$ md5sum -c *.md5

lkc-1.4-lib.patch: OK

sparse-0.4-fixlabel.patch: OK

To regenerate md5sum if incorrect here is the command for lkc, do the same for sparse changing the name:

$ md5sum lkc-1.4-lib.patch > lkc-1.4-lib.patch.md5

Thanks for all the responses, a lot have to do with a windows PC.  I have a PC running Ubuntu, I follow most of the steps but when I get to the tftp server is where I get lost.  What am I missing?  I don't have "/etc/inetd.conf" do I need to install something?

Ubuntu provides packages xinetd and atftpd, thus the command can be used to install:

$ sudo apt-get install xinetd atftpd

In the first post of this thread the document CreateUbuntu1110ltib110901.docx section 7.3.5 Configure tftp server is one method for setting up a tftp server.

Why don't you install mtd-utils developer files from the Synaptics PM.

Remove the existing mtd-utils package before running LTIB again...

Liu,

I looked through my notes and realized that I had done a few other things prior to working through this app note.  I think I got this info from here: http://theembeddedsystems.blogspot.com/2011/11/install-ltib-in-ubun....

It  said to do this:

cd <ltib_installation_folder>/dist/lfs-5.1/mtd-utils
and execute :
cd <ltib_installation_folder>/dist/lfs-5.1/mtd-utils
mv mtd-utils.spec mtd-utils-201006.spec
ln -s mtd-utils-20060302.spec mtd-utils.spec

Hi,
To determine the exact error you will need to open the host_config.log and from the bottom of that file page up to see where the error.

I have not built on a 32-bit Ubuntu host, have not tried the morepatches.tgz, but have used a 64-bit 12.04 Ubuntu successfully for the i.mx28.

For the mtd-utils package I did find that removing the -Werror flag in mtd-utils/ubi-utils/old-utils/Makefile allowed for the mtd-utils package to build. Not sure this is what you are seeing as the error, but might be the issue - check your host_config.log file.

The solution I chose for addressing the -Werror was to create a patch and update the spec file to apply the patch for mtd-utils when it is processed. Here are the general steps:

Step 1:
The patch file was placed in /opt/freescale/pkgs/mtd-utils-werror.patch and the contents:
diff -Naur mtd-utils/ubi-utils/old-utils/Makefile mtd-utils.orig/ubi-utils/old-utils/Makefile
--- mtd-utils/ubi-utils/old-utils/Makefile 2010-01-15 17:12:24.000000000 +0000
+++ mtd-utils.orig/ubi-utils/old-utils/Makefile 2012-04-23 20:03:39.173105589 +0000
@@ -4,7 +4,7 @@

KERNELHDR := ../../include

-CFLAGS ?= -O2 -g -Werror
+CFLAGS ?= -O2 -g
CPPFLAGS := -I./inc -I./src -I$(KERNELHDR) \
-std=gnu99 -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"1.0\" $(CPPFLAGS)

Step 2:
Edit dist/lfs5.1/mtd-utils/mtd-utils.spec adding this patch. In the mtd-utils.spec there is an example of a patch. Follow that adding mtd-utils-werror.patch.

Step 3:
You will need to delete the mtd-utils directory before running ltib otherwise ltib will not run. Look in host_config.log for the location. Then run ltib again.

Good luck,
-Curtis

Just wanna confirm for anyone trying this that I was able to use the instructions from this discussion's attached document (Create-Ubuntu11-10-ltib11-09-01.docx) to successfully run ltib on a UBUNTU DESKTOP 12.04 LTS (32bit) development host.  For anyone that may find them useful, I'm attaching a morepatches.tgz file that contains all the patches discussed in that document.  If this tarball is untarred to be a peer directory to ltib, then the script 'fix' can be run to put things in their place...  Thanks to all for the discussion.

I'm confused regarding the patches in this document... I've been working through this with UBUNTU 12.04 and found the need for these patches.  A peer here backed off to ubuntu 10.04 using this same version of LTIB and did not need the patches.  How can that be?  The patches are issues that sure seem to be independent of the version of UBUNTU (duplicate structure member definition in a header file, and out-of-order linker command line arguments), so why does building the same LTIB on 10.04 work without the patches?

Signed...

Confused.

Hi Dean,

The reason for the soft link is to provide the correct path for applications that include header files from the sys folder such that at compile time they are found. If the x86_64-linux-gnu/sys provides header files as does i386-linux-gnu/sys then the 'File exists' error may not be fatal. Recommend runing the ltib build and see if all is well. If the ltib build fails then investigation would need to be done at that point to see if related to the header files in i386 vs. x86_64.

Hi Curtis,

I have a problem about this:

When I do:

    $ sudo ln -s /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/sys /usr/include/sys

show that:

How to solve it?

Hi Antony,

Just create a link:

You will then need to delete the elftosb directory and run ltib which should result in a complete build.

All,

I am frustrated that this zlib issue is still not uniformly resolved.

I am trying to install this on a 32-bit Ubuntu 11.10 and I am still getting the

"zlib 0 not installed" error below:

I checked my Ltibutils.pm and is shows the correct "libz.so"  and "libz.h" paths

as pasted below. I was able to see the actual files at "/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/"

and "/usr/include/" respectively. 

Please let me know what else I need to check to make the zlib issue go away.

Hi,

 Thanks for this well written step through - I was just saying to myself -"All is going so well" when I started having problems:

1) Ltib complained it couldn't find zlib package. I couldn't find this packge (only zlib-devel) so I deleted the line zlib 0 in the string pre_install_deps (line 92) to avoid the verification. This seemed to work, then an error occured with elftosb package (host_config.log):

Apparently the file types.h is located at /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/sys/types.h


What is the best solution? How come I get this error and not you?


Thanks for your help,

Harris,

Suggestions:

1. When creating the file ltib-fix-rpm-flag.patch you should consider doing this on a Linux host using a native editor that does not insert carriage returns. Editors like gedit, vi, emacs are example Linux native editor applications.

2. On a Linux host enter the command: man patch 

This man page will provide the details of how the patch command works.

3. Instead of trying to create the patch file and run the patch command you could manually implement the patch. Arround line 2384 in the ltib file change the line

$hrpm                = system('rpm --force-debian 2>/dev/null') == 0 ?

 

to this adding a "-v" option to rpm.

 

 $hrpm                = system('rpm -v --force-debian 2>/dev/null') == 0 ?
