#### Building the Linux kernel from source
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux kernel used in this release is available via tags in the git [repository](https://github.com/96boards/linux)
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git: https://github.com/96boards/linux
|
||||
tag: 96b-kernelci
|
||||
defconfig: arch/arm64/defconfig kernel/configs/distro.config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The kernel image (`Image`) is located in the `boot` image and partition and the kernel modules are installed in the root file system. It is possible for a user to rebuild the kernel and run a custom kernel image instead of the released kernel. You can build the kernel using any recent GCC release using the git tree, tag and defconfig mentioned above. This release only supports booting with device tree, as such both the device tree blobs need to be built as well.
|
||||
|
||||
The DragonBoard 410c is an ARMv8 platform, and the kernel is compiled for the Aarch64 target. Even though it is possible to build natively, on the target board, It is recommended to build the Linux kernel on a PC development host. In which case you need to install a cross compiler for the ARM architecture. It is recommended to download the Linaro GCC cross compiler [Aarch64 little-endian](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-5.1/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.1-2015.08-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz).
|
||||
|
||||
To build the Linux kernel, you can use the following instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1: Setting up your environment on your host computer
|
||||
|
||||
- Open your Terminal and cd into your desired directory
|
||||
- Make a new folder using `mkdir` and call is something relevant
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
#Example of desired directory
|
||||
$ cd ~/Desktop
|
||||
|
||||
#Example of relevant folder
|
||||
$ mkdir DB410c-16.03
|
||||
$ cd DB410c-16.03
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2: Download the Linaro cross compiler toolchain and Skales Tool
|
||||
|
||||
- From within the directory you just made
|
||||
- Download and unzip by executing the following commands
|
||||
|
||||
###### Linaro Cross Compiler
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
#Download
|
||||
$ wget http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-5.1/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.1-2015.08-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
|
||||
#Unzip
|
||||
$ tar -Jxvf gcc-linaro-5.1-2015.08-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###### Skales tool
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install libfdt-dev
|
||||
$ git clone git://codeaurora.org/quic/kernel/skales /tmp/skales
|
||||
$ export PATH=$PATH:/tmp/skales
|
||||
```
|
||||
>Skales will be used later when creating the device tree
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 3: Export path to cross compiler tool and confirm version
|
||||
|
||||
- Exporting path will allow build system can find and use the right kernel
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
#Create path
|
||||
$ export PATH=gcc-linaro-5.1-2015.08-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/:$PATH
|
||||
#Check version
|
||||
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version
|
||||
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Linaro GCC 5.1-2015.08) 5.1.1 20150608

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 4: Clone the Reference Platform kernel
|
||||
|
||||
- **96b-kernelci** is the development branch
|
||||
- This branch will have the latest changes
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ git clone -b 96b-kernelci http://github.com/96boards/linux.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Cloning the kernel may take a few minutes
|
||||
- Once kernel source has been cloned cd into its directory
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ cd kernel
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 5: Set the right kernel .config file
|
||||
|
||||
- This step creates the '.config' file
|
||||
- The .config file is used by the build system when compiling the kernel
|
||||
- Current Reference Platform config can be made by using distro.config
|
||||
- From with in kernel directory execute the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig distro.config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- New .config file will be hidden but can be seen by executing `ls -a` from within kernel folder
|
||||
- To view all current configuration the .config file can be opened with a text editor such a `vim`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 6: Build kernel image
|
||||
|
||||
- This step will take some time (~20-30 minutes or more), depending on your cpu/memory
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
#Replace X from -jX with the number of cores on your host computer
|
||||
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -jX
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 7: Copy Modules
|
||||
|
||||
- Modules must be local (host computer) before transferring to target device
|
||||
- Still within linux directory
|
||||
- Make temp folder
|
||||
- Create modules
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ mk tmp/modules
|
||||
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/modules INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 8: Find kernel release string
|
||||
|
||||
- This was created during the kernel build
|
||||
- In this example the kernel.release is 4.4.0+
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ cat include/config/kernel.release
|
||||
#Output
|
||||
$ 4.4.0+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 9: Generate modules.dep and map files
|
||||
|
||||
- Helps kernel find modules when system boots
|
||||
- Note: `4.4.0+` was the output from `cat include/config/kernel.release` in Step 8
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ depmod -a -b /tmp/modules 4.4.0+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 10: Find DragonBoard™ 410c IP Address
|
||||
|
||||
- On your DragonBoard™ 410c
|
||||
- Connect to the internet through WIFI
|
||||
- Open one of the Terminal applications
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ /sbin/ifconfig
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Look for your `wlan0` connection
|
||||
- Here you will see an `inet addr`
|
||||
- This is your board's IP address and should look something like this: `192.168.0.10`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 11: Transfer the modules to the target DragonBoard™ 410c
|
||||
|
||||
- Using your board's IP Address for linaro@<yourIPaddress>
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ tar -cjf /tmp/modules.tar.bz2 -C /tmp modules
|
||||
$ scp /tmp/modules.tar.bz2 linaro@192.168.1.15:~/
|
||||
$ ssh linaro@192.168.1.15
|
||||
#DragonBoard™ 410c shell
|
||||
db410c $ tar -jxvf modules.tar.bz2
|
||||
db410c $ sudo cp -r modules/lib/modules/4.4.0+ /lib/modules/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 12: Generate the initramfs
|
||||
|
||||
- You should still be in the DragonBoard™ 410c shell
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
db410c $ sudo update-initramfs -k 4.4.0+ -c
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Copy back the new initramfs
|
||||
- This will be used when creating the boot.mg
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 13: Create the device tree image and boot image
|
||||
|
||||
###### Device tree
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ dtbTool -o dt.img -s 2048 arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###### Boot image
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ mkbootimg --kernel arch/arm64/boot/Image --ramdisk initrd.img-4.4.0+ --output boot.img --dt dt.img --pagesize "2048" --base "0x80000000" --cmdline "root=/dev/disk/by-partlabel/rootfs rw rootwait console=tty0 console=ttyMSM0,115200n8"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Congratulations! Boot image is now ready to be flashed to your DragonBoard™ 410c.
|
||||
|
||||
- Flashing the boot image can be done using fastboot
|
||||
- Board must be booted into fastboot mode
|
||||
- With USB to microUSB cable still connect execute the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
|
||||
$ sudo fastboot reboot
|
||||
```
|
||||

### How to get and customize the bootloader
|
||||
|
||||
While the first stage bootloader is proprietary and released as firmware blob available on [Qualcomm Developer Network](https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/linux-ubuntu-board-support-package-v1.zip), the second stage bootloader is `LK` and is open source.
|
||||
|
||||
The original LK source code is available on [CodeAurora.org](https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/lk/), and the source code which is used in this release can be found in the [Linaro Qualcomm Landing Team git repository](https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/lk.git):
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git: http://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/lk.git
|
||||
tag: ubuntu-qcom-dragonboard410c-LA.BR.1.2.4-00310-8x16.0-linaro1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To build the LK bootloader, you can use the following instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git clone git://codeaurora.org/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8.git -b LA.BR.1.1.3.c4-01000-8x16.0
|
||||
git clone http://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/lk.git -b ubuntu-qcom-dragonboard410c-LA.BR.1.2.4-00310-8x16.0-linaro1
|
||||
cd lk
|
||||
make -j4 msm8916 EMMC_BOOT=1 TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=<path to arm-eabi-4.8 tree>/bin/arm-eabi-
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The second stage bootloader is flashed on the `about` partition, you can now flash your board with:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo fastboot aboot ./build-msm8916/emmc_appsboot.mbn
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### How to get and customize Debian packages source code
|
||||
|
||||
This release is based on Debian 8.2 "Jessie".
|
||||
|
||||
Since all packages installed in Linaro Debian-based images are maintained either in Debian archives or in Linaro repositories, it is possible for users to update their environment with commands such as:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get upgrade
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
All user space software is packaged using Debian packaging process. As such you can find extensive information about using, patching and building packages in The Debian New Maintainers Guide. If you quickly want to rebuild any package, you can run the following commands to fetch the package source code and install all build dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get build-dep <pkg>
|
||||
apt-get source <pkg>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then you can rebuild the package locally with:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd <pkg-version>
|
||||
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### TO-DO
|
||||
|
||||
- Explain how to build the rootfs from source

|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1: Read about the Fastboot Method
|
||||
|
||||
Fastboot is supported by the board and can be used for installs. This is for advanced users who are most likely modifying/customizing source code and will need to download such updates to the board for test/execution.
|
||||
|
||||
This method requires the following hardware:
|
||||
- DragonBoard™ 410c with power supply
|
||||
- Host machine (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows)
|
||||
- USB to microUSB cable
|
||||
- USB Mouse and/or keyboard (not required to perform flash)
|
||||
- HDMI Monitor with full size HDMI cable (not required to perform flash)
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2: Download Android Bootloader and Boot file
|
||||
|
||||
- Android Bootloader ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_android-*.zip) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )

|
||||
|
||||
>Note the location of all downloads, they will be needed once you access your instruction set
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 3: Download all remaining files
|
||||
|
||||
- system.img ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/dragonboard410c/16.03/system.img.xz) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/dragonboard410c/16.03/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )

|
||||
|
||||
>Note the location of all downloads, they will be needed once you access your instruction set
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
#### Step 4: Install Android using Fastboot with Linux host
|
||||
|
||||
This section show how to install the Android operating system to your DragonBoard™ 410c using the fastboot method on a Mac OS X host computer.
|
||||
|
||||
1 - **Make sure fastboot is set up on host computer**
|
||||
|
||||
- Android SDK “Tools only” for Linux can be downloaded <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk" target="_blank">here</a>
|
||||
- The Linux “Tools Only” SDK download does not come with fastboot, you will need to use the Android SDK Manager to install platform-tools.
|
||||
- To do this follow the “SDK Readme.txt” instructions included in your SDK “Tools Only” download.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are still having trouble setting up fastboot, <a href="https://youtu.be/W_zlydVBftA" target="_blank">click here</a> for a short tutorial video
|
||||
|
||||
2 - **Connect host computer to DragonBoard™ 410c**
|
||||
|
||||
- DragonBoard™ 410c must be powered off (unplugged from power)
|
||||
- Make sure microSD card slot on DragonBoard™ 410c is empty
|
||||
- S6 switch on DragonBoard™ 410c must be set to ‘0-0-0-0’. All switches should be in “off” position
|
||||
- Connect USB to microUSB cable from host computer to DragonBoard™ 410c
|
||||
|
||||
3 - **Boot DragonBoard™ 410c into fastboot mode**
|
||||
|
||||
**Please read all bullet points before attempting**
|
||||
|
||||
- Press and hold the Vol (-) button on the DragonBoard™ 410c, this is the S4 button. DragonBoard™ 410c should still NOT be powered on
|
||||
- While holding the Vol (-) button, power on the DragonBoard™ 410c by plugging it in
|
||||
- Once DragonBoard™ 410c is plugged into power, release your hold on the Vol (-) button.
|
||||
- Board should boot into fastboot mode.
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1: Read about the Fastboot Method
|
||||
|
||||
Fastboot is supported by the board and can be used for installs. This is for advanced users who are most likely modifying/customizing source code and will need to download such updates to the board for test/execution.
|
||||
|
||||
This method requires the following hardware:
|
||||
- DragonBoard™ 410c with power supply
|
||||
- Host machine (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows)
|
||||
- USB to microUSB cable
|
||||
- USB Mouse and/or keyboard (not required to perform flash)
|
||||
- HDMI Monitor with full size HDMI cable (not required to perform flash)
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2: Download Debian Bootloader and Boot file
|
||||
|
||||
- Debian Bootloader ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-*.zip) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )
|
||||
- Debian Boot ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/debian/dragonboard410c/16.03/dragonboard410c-boot-linux-*.img.gz) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/debian/dragonboard410c/16.03/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 3: Download Root File System
|
||||
|
||||
- Debian Rootfs (Desktop) ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/debian/dragonboard410c/16.03/dragonboard410c-rootfs-debian-jessie-alip-*.emmc.img.gz) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/debian/dragonboard410c/16.03/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )
|
||||
|
||||
>Note the location of all downloads, they will be needed once you access your instruction set
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
#### Step 4: Install Debian Using Fastboot with Linux host
|
||||
|
||||
This section show how to install the Linaro based Debian operating system to your DragonBoard™ 410c using the fastboot method on a Linux host computer.
|
||||
|
||||
1 - **Make sure fastboot is set up on host computer**
|
||||
|
||||
- Android SDK “Tools only” for Linux can be downloaded <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk" target="_blank">here</a>
|
||||
- The Linux “Tools Only” SDK download does not come with fastboot, you will need to use the Android SDK Manager to install platform-tools.
|
||||
- To do this follow the “SDK Readme.txt” instructions included in your SDK “Tools Only” download.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are still having trouble setting up fastboot, <a href="https://youtu.be/W_zlydVBftA" target="_blank">click here</a> for a short tutorial video
|
||||
|
||||
2 - **Connect host computer to DragonBoard™ 410c**
|
||||
|
||||
- DragonBoard™ 410c must be powered off (unplugged from power)
|
||||
- Make sure microSD card slot on DragonBoard™ 410c is empty
|
||||
- S6 switch on DragonBoard™ 410c must be set to ‘0-0-0-0’. All switches should be in “off” position
|
||||
- Connect USB to microUSB cable from host computer to DragonBoard™ 410c
|
||||
|
||||
3 - **Boot DragonBoard™ 410c into fastboot mode**
|
||||
|
||||
**Please read all bullet points before attempting**
|
||||
|
||||
- Press and hold the Vol (-) button on the DragonBoard™ 410c, this is the S4 button. DragonBoard™ 410c should still NOT be powered on
|
||||
- While holding the Vol (-) button, power on the DragonBoard™ 410c by plugging it in
|
||||
- Once DragonBoard™ 410c is plugged into power, release your hold on the Vol (-) button.
|
||||
- Wait for about 20 seconds.
|
||||
- Board should boot into fastboot mode.
|
||||
|
||||
From the connected host machine terminal window, run the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
# Check to make sure device is connected and in fastboot mode
|
||||
|
||||
$ fastboot devices
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Typically it will show as bellow
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
de82318 fastboot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**At this point you should be connected to your DragonBoard™ 410c with a USB to microUSB cable. Your DragonBoard™ 410c should be booted into fastboot mode and ready to be flashed with the appropriate images.**
|
||||
|
||||
4 - **Flash Bootloader**
|
||||
|
||||
- Use host computer
|
||||
- Open "Terminal" application
|
||||
- Recall location of Bootloader download.
|

- XX represents the release number of the Bootloader
|
||||
- `cd` to the directory with your unzipped **Bootloader Folder**
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ cd <extraction directory>
|
||||
|
||||
#Example:
|
||||
cd /Users/YourUserName/Downloads
|

#<extraction directory> = /Users/YourUserName/Downloads
|
||||
#For this example we assume the "Bootloader" is in the Downloads folder.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd <unzipped Bootloader folder>
|
||||
|
||||
#Example:
|
||||
cd dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-40
|
||||
#<unzipped Bootloader folder> = dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-40
|
||||
#This example took place during release 40
|
||||
|
||||
# This command will execute the flashall script within the bootloader folder
|
