# Build mixed 32bit/64bit image
OE RPB has support for creating mixed 32-bit/64-bit builds with 64-bit
kernel and 32-bit userland for:
* HiKey
* Dragonboard-410c
There are two variants of machine configuration for both HiKey and
Dragonboard-410c boards:
| Board | MACHINE-32 | MACHINE-64 |
|:-----:|:-------------:|:-----------:|
| HiKey | hikey-32 | hikey |
| DB-410c| dragonboard-410c-32 | dragonboard-410c |
MACHINE-32 configuration doesn't build the kernel. It is intended to
create the 32-bit root filesystem only.
MACHINE-64 configuration is universal. But in this mixed build only the
kernel and the kernel modules are needed from the 64-bit configuration,
so the 64-bit rpb-minimal-image is built.
## Running a mixed build
Setting up the build environment is the same as usual. The only difference
is that when running
```
$ . setup-environment
```
one should select `<MACHINE-32>` as the MACHINE.
DISTRO values can be:
* rpb-x11
* rpb-wayland
Then do
```
bitbake_secondary_image --extra-machine <MACHINE-64> <image>
```
e.g. if MACHINE=dragonboard-410c-32 and DISTRO=rpb-wayland were selected
when sourcing setup-environment, the command could be:
`bitbake_secondary_image --extra-machine dragonboard-410c rpb-weston-image`
## Creating the mixed rootfs image
`bitbake_secondary_image` actually runs two builds. So in the build directory,
under `tmp-*/deploy/images/` two directories are created: one for 32-bit build
artifacts, and the other for the 64-bit ones. E.g.
```
tmp-rpb_wayland-glibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c-32
```
and
```
tmp-rpb_wayland-glibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c
```
Unpack the 32-bit `*.rootfs.ext4` image, resize it to make sure that there is
enough space for the 64-bit modules, mount it via a loop device, and unpack the
64-bit modules into the 32-bit root filesystem. Then unmount the rootfs to get
the 32-bit rootfs.ext4 image with the 64-bit kernel modules added.
Please find more detailed instructions for the both boards below.
### Creating the image for Dragonboard-410c
Assuming that all the relevant build artifacts are in the current directory:
```
gunzip -k rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c-32-20161013104111.rootfs.ext4.gz
resize2fs rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c-32-20161013104111.rootfs.ext4 512M
mkdir root
sudo mount -o loop rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c-32-20161013104111.rootfs.ext4 root
cd root/
sudo tar xzf ../modules--4.4-r0-dragonboard-410c-20161013094521.tgz
cd ..
sync
sudo umount root
ext2simg rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c-32-20161013104111.rootfs.ext4 rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c.rootfs.img
```
The resulting rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c.rootfs.img with 32-bit userland
and 64-bit kernel modules can be flashed into the board with
```
fastboot flash rootfs rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c.rootfs.img
```
### Creating the image for HiKey
Creating the mixed tootfs image for HiKey is the same as for Dragonboard-410c,
but requires an extra step, as HiKey reads the kernel image to boot from the
rootfs (vs a boot partition in the case of Dragonboard-410c). So the 64-bit
kernel image and the DTB file must be copied to the 32-bit rootfs, the /boot
directory - this is where GRUB looks the kernel image for. E.g.:
```
mkdir root
mkdir root-64
gunzip -k rpb-minimal-image-hikey-20161014162659.rootfs.ext4.gz
sudo mount -o loop rpb-minimal-image-hikey-20161014162659.rootfs.ext4 root-64/
gunzip -k rpb-weston-image-hikey-32-20161014172406.rootfs.ext4.gz
resize2fs rpb-weston-image-hikey-32-20161014172406.rootfs.ext4 512M
sudo mount -o loop rpb-weston-image-hikey-32-20161014172406.rootfs.ext4 root
sudo cp -r root-64/boot/* root/boot/
cd root
sudo tar xzf ../modules--4.4.11+git-r0-hikey-20161014162659.tgz
cd ..
sync
sudo umount root
sudo umount root-64
ext2simg rpb-weston-image-hikey-32-20161014172406.rootfs.ext4 rpb-weston-image-hikey.rootfs.img
```
The resulting rpb-weston-image-hikey.rootfs.img with a 32-bit userland, and
64-bit kernel modules and the kernel can be flashed into the board with
```
fastboot flash system rpb-weston-image-hikey.rootfs.img
```

##### Clean flash
To do a clean flash you will require access to the board's BMC.
First make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('D03.fd'):
1. Make sure the board's BMC port is connected, and with a known IP address.
2. Login the BMC website, The username/passwd is root/Huawei12#$. Go to "System", "Firmware Upgrade", and "Browse" to select the UEFI file in hpm format. (Please contact support@open-estuary.org to get the hpm file).
3. Pull out the power cable to power off the board. Find the pin named "COM_SW" at J44. Then connect it with jump cap.
4. Power on the board and connect to the board's serial port. When the screen display message "You are trying to access a restricted zone. Only Authorized Users allowed.", type "Enter", input username/passwd (username/passwd is root/Huawei12#$).
5. After you login the BMC interface which start with "iBMC:/->", use command "ifconfig" to see the modified BMC IP. When you get the board's BMC IP, please visit the BMC website by "https://BMC IP ADDRESS/".
6. Go to "Start Update" (Do not power off during this period).
7. After updating the UEFI firmware, reboot the board to enter UEFI menu.
```shell
cp D03.fd /srv/tftp/
```
Now follow the steps below in order to fetch and flash the new firmware:
1. Power off the board and unplug the power supply.
2. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **off** (check [http://open-estuary.com/d03-2/](http://open-estuary.com/d03-2/) for the board picture)
- The board has two SPI flash chips, and this switch selects which one to boot from.
3. Power on the device, stop the boot from the serial console, and get into the the 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)' shell
4. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **on**
- **NOTE:** make sure to run the step above before running 'biosupdate' (as it modifies the flash), or else the backup BIOS will also be modified and there will be no way to unbrick the board (unless sending it back to Huawei).
5. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master' like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f D03.fd master'
6. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board

## Introduction
The Reference Platform Kernel (RPK) brings together WIP code that is still under review upstream in case that is useful.
The kernel tree is managed similar to linux-next, in that topic branches adding support for various platforms and new kernel features are merged on top of a (close-to-mainline) vanilla kernel. These topic branches are provided by the relevant segment group, Landing Team or vendor engineers who want to add support for a hardware platform or a new feature into RPK. Please review the [patch-acceptance Policy](KernelPolicy.md) for RPK. It is implicit that the person responsible for the feature/platform suppport will rebase it to the new kernel version if that feature is not to be dropped in subsequent kernel releases.

No. RPK's main focus is on engineers and teams that need to get their code upstream as a requirement to get distribution support (e.g. LEG features enabled in RHEL, Ubuntu) or that need to work on tip to get new features accepted into the kernel (e.g. core engineering teams such at KWG, PMWG). We don't have resources to maintain a long-term kernel. Please talk to the LSK team for long-term supported kernels.

## OpenEmbedded and Yocto
This page provides instructions to get started with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project on the DragonBoard 410c and HiKey.
# Introduction
This wiki is not an introduction on OpenEmbedded or Yocto Project. If you are not familiar with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project, it is very much recommended to read the appropriate documentation first. For example, you can start with:
* http://openembedded.org/wiki/Main_Page
* http://yoctoproject.org/
* https://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation
In this wiki, we assume that the reader is familiar with basic concepts of OpenEmbedded.
The support for DragonBoard 410c is available in the [meta-qcom BSP layer](http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-qcom).
The support for HiKey is available in the [meta-96boards BSP layer](https://github.com/96boards/meta-96boards).
These layers have been tested with OpenEmbedded Core layer, and are expected to work with any other standard layers and of course any OpenEmbedded based distributions.
The Linux kernel used for these boards is the Reference Platform Kernel (RPK). The graphic stack is based on mesa:
* using the freedreno driver for Dragonboard 410c
* using the ARM Mali Utgard GPU driver for HiKey
## OE Layers
| Layer | Description |
|:-----------------------:|:----------------------|
| oe-core (Base layer) | This is the main collaboration point when working on OpenEmbedded projects and is part of the core recipes. The goal of this layer is to have just enough recipes to build a basic system, this means keeping it as small as possible. |
| meta-rpb (Distro layer) | This is a very small layer where the distro configurations live. Currently it houses both Reference Platform Build and Wayland Reference Platform Builds. |
| meta-oe | This layer houses many useful, but sometimes unmaintained recipes. Since the reduction in recipes to the core, meta-oe was created for everything else. There are currently approximately 650 recipes in this layer. |
| meta-browser | This layer holds the recipes for Firefox and Chromium. Both recipes require a lot of maintenance, because of this a seperate layer was created. |
| meta-qt5 | This is a cross-platform toolkit. |
| meta-linaro | This layer is used to get the Linaro toolchain. |
| meta-linaro-backports | This is an experimental layer used to get newer versions into the build which were not part of the release. |
| meta-96Boards | This support layer is managed by Linaro and intended for boards that do not have their own board support layer. Currently used for the HiKey Consumer Edition board, and eventually the Bubblegum-96 board. If a vendor does not support their own layer, it can be added to this layer. |
| meta-qcom (BSP) | This is the board support layer for Qualcomm boards. Currently supports IFC6410 and the DragonBoard 410c. |
# Package Dependencies
In order to successfully set up your build environment, you will need to install the following package dependencies.
**Step 1**: You will need git installed on your Linux host machine
`$ sudo apt-get install git`
**Step 2**: Visit the OpenEmbedded (Getting Started) wiki to see which distribution specific dependencies you will need
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Getting_started
**Step 3**: Install 96Boards specific dependencies (Case specific)
Setting up the build environment will first search for `whiptail`, if it is not present then it will search for `dialog`. You only need one of the following packages to ensure your setup-environement runs correctly:
`$ sudo apt-get install whiptail`
or
`$ sudo apt-get install dialog`
**Please Note**: If you are running Ubuntu 16.04 you will need to add the following line to your `/etc/apt/sources.list`
`deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe`
```shell
$ cd /etc/apt/
#vim text editor is used in this example
#sudo is used to allow editing, sources.list is set to read only
$ sudo vim sources.list
```
All required dependencies should now be installed on your host environment, you are ready to begin your build environment setup.
# Setup the build environment
The BSPs layesr can be used with any OE based distribution, such as Poky. The following instructions are provided to get started with OpenEmbedded Reference Software Platforms.
To manage the various git trees and the OpenEmbedded environment, a repo manifest is provided. If you do not have `repo` installed on your host machine, you first need to install it, using the following instructions (or similar):
mkdir -p ${HOME}/bin
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ${HOME}/bin/repo
chmod a+x ${HOME}/bin/repo
export PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}
To initialize your build environment, you need to run:
mkdir oe-rpb && cd oe-rpb
repo init -u https://github.com/96boards/oe-rpb-manifest.git -b krogoth
repo sync
source setup-environment [<build folder>]
* after the command `repo sync` returns, all the OpenEmbedded recipes have been downloaded locally.
* you will be prompted to choose the target machine, pick `dragonboard-410c` or `hikey`
* you will be prompted to choose the distro, for now, it is recommended to use 'rpb'
* <build folder> is optional, if missing it will default to `build-$DISTRO`
The script `setup-environment` will create sane default configuration files in <build folder>/conf, you can inspect them and modify them if needed. Note that conf/local.conf and conf/bblayers.conf are symlink , and under source control. So it is generally better not to modify them, and use conf/site.conf and conf/auto.conf instead.
# Build a minimal, console-only image
To build a console image, you can run:
$ bitbake rpb-console-image
At the end of the build, your build artifacts will be found under `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/MACHINE/`. The two artifacts you will use to update your board are:
* `rpb-console-image-MACHINE.ext4.gz` and
* `boot-MACHINE.img`
where `MACHINE` is `dragonboard-410c` or `hikey`.
# Bootloaders and eMMC partitions
Build artifacts from your OE build will be flashed into the on-board eMMC (in contrast to some other boards which run their images from an SDcard). The OpenEmbedded BSP layer assumes that the _Linux_ Bootloaders and eMMC partition layout are used on the board (not the _Android_ ones; by default DragonBoards come pre-configured with the Android eMMC partition layout). You can download the latest Linux bootloader package for Dragonboard 410c from [here](http://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/) to your development host, it will be named something like `dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-<version>.zip`.
Whether your board is using the Android eMMC partition layout or the Linux partition eMMC layout, you will use the Android `fastboot` utility on your development host for managing the board's eMMC partitions. If you are using a relatively recent Linux distribution on your development host, it probably already has a package that includes the `fastboot` utility (it might be named something like `android-tools` or `android-tools-fastboot`) so go ahead and install it on your development host. In order for your development host's fastboot utility to interact with the board, in the case of the DragonBoard 410c, it must be booted into a special `fastboot mode`. The procedure to do so is as follows:
* remove power from your DragonBoard 410c
* plug a USB cable from your development host to your DragonBoard's J4 connector
* while holding down S4 on the DragonBoard 410c (the one marked "(-)"), insert the power adapter
* after a few seconds you can release S4
In the case of case of HiKey, see `TBA` (put a link to Debian instructions, they are the same).
To verify your cables and that the above procedure worked, on your development host run:
# sudo fastboot devices
and you should get a non-empty response, e.g.
# sudo fastboot devices
83581d40 fastboot
If this is your first time using a particular board, you will need to switch its eMMC partition layout to the Linux layout, but this procedure only needs to be done once for a given board. After switching your layout, you only have to update your board with your latest build artifacts.
The procedure for updating your eMMC partitions is as follows. Put your DragonBoard into `fastboot mode` (see procedure above) then perform these steps on your development host:
* download the latest Linux bootloader package (e.g. `dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-<version>.zip`)
* unzip its contents
* run the `flashall` script (as root) that you will find after unzipping the Linux bootloader package
At this point your eMMC has the following partition layout:
Dragonboard 410c:
* `/dev/mmcblk0p8` , aka `boot` is used for the boot image (kernel, device tree, initrd)
* `/dev/mmcblk0p10` , aka `rootfs` is used for the root file system
HiKey:
* `/dev/mmcblk0p6` , aka `boot` is used for the boot image (kernel, device tree, initrd)
* `/dev/mmcblk0p9` , aka `system` is used for the root file system
# Flashing build artifacts
In the following description, replace `IMAGE` with the name of the image you built. For example: if you built `rpb-console-image` then `IMAGE` will be `rpb-console-image`.
Same for `IMAGE`, replace with the name of your board. For example: if you built for `Dragonboard 410c` then `MACHINE` will be `dragonboard-410c`, if you built for `HiKey` then `MACHINE` will be `hikey`.
At the end of any successful build you will end up with the following artifacts (amongst others)
* `IMAGE-MACHINE.ext4.gz` and
* `boot-MACHINE.img`
These will be found in your `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/MACHINE` directory.
To install these to your board's eMMC from your development host:
# gunzip IMAGE-MACHINE.ext4.gz
# fastboot flash boot boot-MACHINE.img
In the case of Dragonboard 410c:
# fastboot flash rootfs IMAGE-MACHINE.ext4
In the case of HiKey:
# ext2simg -v IMAGE-MACHINE.ext4 IMAGE-MACHINE.img
# fastboot flash system IMAGE-MACHINE.img
# Proprietary firmware blob
When running the `setup-environment` script, you were asked to read/accept the Qualcomm EULA. The EULA is required to access the proprietary firmware, such as the GPU firmware , WLAN, ...
If you accepted the EULA, when building an image for DragonBoard 410c all proprietary firmware are installed automatically in `/lib/firmware`, and a copy of the EULA is added as '/etc/license.txt`.
If you did not accept the EULA, the firmware are not downloaded, and not installed into the image. You can manually manage the firmware and download them separately from [Qualcomm Developer Network](https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/linux-ubuntu-board-support-package-v1.1.zip).
# Build a simple X11 image
To build an X11 image with GPU hardware accelerated support, run:
$ bitbake rpb-desktop-image
At the end of the build, the root file system image will be available as `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/MACHINE/rpb-desktop-image-MACHINE.ext4.gz`.
Then you can finally start the X server, and run any graphical application:
X&
export DISPLAY=:0
glxgears
The default X11 image includes `openbox` window manager, to use it:
X&
export DISPLAY=:0
openbox &
glxgears
Of course, you can easily add another window manager, such as `metacity` in the image. To install `metacity` in the image, add the following to `conf/auto.conf` file:
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "metacity"
and rebuild the `rpb-desktop-image` image, it will now include `metacity`, which can be started like this:
X&
export DISPLAY=:0
metacity&
glxgears
# Build a sample Wayland/Weston image
For Wayland/weston, it is needed to change the DISTRO and use `rpb-wayland` instead of `rpb`. The main reason is that in the `rpb-wayland` distro, the support for X11 is completely removed. So, in a new terminal prompt, setup a new environment and make sure to use `rpb-wayland` for DISTRO, then, you can run a sample image with:
$ bitbake rpb-weston-image
This image includes a few additional features, such as `systemd`, `connman` which makes it simpler to use. Once built, the image will be available at `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/MACHINE/rpb-weston-image-MACHINE.ext4.gz`. And it can be flashed into `rootfs` partition.
If you boot this image on the board, you should get a command prompt on the HDMI monitor. A user called `linaro` exists (and has no password). Once logged in a VT, you run start weston with:
weston-launch
And that should get you to the Weston desktop shell.
# Build mixed 32bit/64bit image
OE RPB has support for creating mixed 32-bit/64-bit builds with 64-bit
kernel and 32-bit userland for:
* HiKey
* Dragonboard-410c
There are two variants of machine configuration for both HiKey and
Dragonboard-410c boards:
| Board | MACHINE-32 | MACHINE-64 |
|:-----:|:-------------:|:-----------:|
| HiKey | hikey-32 | hikey |
| DB-410c| dragonboard-410c-32 | dragonboard-410c |
MACHINE-32 configuration doesn't build the kernel. It is intended to
create the 32-bit root filesystem only.
MACHINE-64 configuration is universal. But in this mixed build only the
kernel and the kernel modules are needed from the 64-bit configuration,
so the 64-bit rpb-minimal-image is built.
## Running a mixed build
Setting up the build environment is the same as usual. The only difference
is that when running
```
$ . setup-environment
```
one should select `<MACHINE-32>` as the MACHINE.
DISTRO values can be:
* rpb-x11
* rpb-wayland
Then do
```
bitbake_secondary_image --extra-machine <MACHINE-64> <image>
```
e.g. if MACHINE=dragonboard-410c-32 and DISTRO=rpb-wayland were selected
when sourcing setup-environment, the command could be:
`bitbake_secondary_image --extra-machine dragonboard-410c rpb-weston-image`
## Creating the mixed rootfs image
`bitbake_secondary_image` actually runs two builds. So in the build directory,
under `tmp-*/deploy/images/` two directories are created: one for 32-bit build
artifacts, and the other for the 64-bit ones. E.g.
```
tmp-rpb_wayland-glibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c-32
```
and
```
tmp-rpb_wayland-glibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c
```
Unpack the 32-bit `*.rootfs.ext4` image, resize it to make sure that there is
enough space for the 64-bit modules, mount it via a loop device, and unpack the
64-bit modules into the 32-bit root filesystem. Then unmount the rootfs to get
the 32-bit rootfs.ext4 image with the 64-bit kernel modules added.
Please find more detailed instructions for the both boards below.
### Creating the image for Dragonboard-410c
Assuming that all the relevant build artifacts are in the current directory:
```
gunzip -k rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c-32-20161013104111.rootfs.ext4.gz
resize2fs rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c-32-20161013104111.rootfs.ext4 512M
mkdir root
sudo mount -o loop rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c-32-20161013104111.rootfs.ext4 root
cd root/
sudo tar xzf ../modules--4.4-r0-dragonboard-410c-20161013094521.tgz
cd ..
sync
sudo umount root
ext2simg rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c-32-20161013104111.rootfs.ext4 rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c.rootfs.img
```
The resulting rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c.rootfs.img with 32-bit userland
and 64-bit kernel modules can be flashed into the board with
```
fastboot flash rootfs rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c.rootfs.img
```
### Creating the image for HiKey
Creating the mixed tootfs image for HiKey is the same as for Dragonboard-410c,
but requires an extra step, as HiKey reads the kernel image to boot from the
rootfs (vs a boot partition in the case of Dragonboard-410c). So the 64-bit
kernel image and the DTB file must be copied to the 32-bit rootfs, the /boot
directory - this is where GRUB looks the kernel image for. E.g.:
```
mkdir root
mkdir root-64
gunzip -k rpb-minimal-image-hikey-20161014162659.rootfs.ext4.gz
sudo mount -o loop rpb-minimal-image-hikey-20161014162659.rootfs.ext4 root-64/
gunzip -k rpb-weston-image-hikey-32-20161014172406.rootfs.ext4.gz
resize2fs rpb-weston-image-hikey-32-20161014172406.rootfs.ext4 512M
sudo mount -o loop rpb-weston-image-hikey-32-20161014172406.rootfs.ext4 root
sudo cp -r root-64/boot/* root/boot/
cd root
sudo tar xzf ../modules--4.4.11+git-r0-hikey-20161014162659.tgz
cd ..
sync
sudo umount root
sudo umount root-64
ext2simg rpb-weston-image-hikey-32-20161014172406.rootfs.ext4 rpb-weston-image-hikey.rootfs.img
```
The resulting rpb-weston-image-hikey.rootfs.img with a 32-bit userland, and
64-bit kernel modules and the kernel can be flashed into the board with
```
fastboot flash system rpb-weston-image-hikey.rootfs.img
```

h3. How to get and customize the kernel source code
h4. Building the Linux kernel from source
The Linux kernel used in this release is available via tags in the git "repository":https://github.com/rsalveti/linux
bc. git: https://github.com/rsalveti/linux
tag: 96boards-rpb-debian-15.12-qcom
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/14.11/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz.
To build the Linux kernel, you can use the following instructions:
bc. git clone -n https://github.com/rsalveti/linux.git
cd linux
git checkout -b kernel-rpb-15.12 96boards-rpb-debian-15.12-qcom
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=<path to your GCC cross compiler>/aarch64-linux-gnu-
make defconfig distro.config
make -j4 Image dtbs KERNELRELEASE=4.3.0-your-custom-release
h4. Building a boot image
You now need to create a valid boot image with your own kernel build.
On your host PC, we need to install the following tools:
bc. sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler
git clone git://codeaurora.org/quic/kernel/skales
The boot image consists of the table of device tree (@dt.img@), the kernel image (@Image@) and an init ramdisk image.
The @dtbTool@ is a standalone application that will process the DTBs generated during the kernel build, to create the table of device tree image. This tool is included in the @skales@ git tree cloned above.
bc. ./skales/dtbTool -o dt.img -s 2048 arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/
To create the boot image, you also need a ramdisk image, and you can use the one available at _/boot_ from the rootfs.
The tool @mkbootimg@ (also in the git tree previously cloned) is a standalone application that will process all files and create the boot image that can then be booted on the target board, or flash into the on-board eMMC. The boot image also contains the kernel bootargs, which can be changed as needed in the next command:
bc. ./skales/mkbootimg --kernel arch/arm64/boot/Image \
--ramdisk initrd.img \
--output boot-db410c.img \
--dt dt.img \
--pagesize 2048 \
--base 0x80000000 \
--cmdline "root=/dev/disk/by-partlabel/rootfs rw rootwait console=ttyMSM0,115200n8"
h4. Booting a custom boot image
Assuming you have now built a valid boot image called @boot-db410c.img@, you can run the following @fastboot@ command to boot it on the board:
bc. sudo fastboot boot boot-db410c.img
If you want to permanently use a custom kernel image, you can update the boot image and reflash it into the @boot@ partition:
bc. sudo fastboot flash boot boot-db410c.img
h4. 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:
bc. 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:
bc. 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 @aboot@ partition, you can now flash your board with:
bc. sudo fastboot aboot ./build-msm8916/emmc_appsboot.mbn
h4. 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:
bc. 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:
bc. sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep <pkg>
apt-get source <pkg>
Then you can rebuild the package locally with:
bc. cd <pkg-version>
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc

h4. Bootloader
Flash the eMMC with the bootloader:
* Unzip the bootloader that was downloaded in the previous step. Note the directory that is it located in.
* Assure that a micro USB cable is connected from the micro-USB port on the DB410c to the host PC
* Assure micro SD Card slot is empty on the DB410c
* Set the S6 switch on the DB410c to: 0-0-0-0 {SD Boot set to off}
* Power on the DB410c into fastboot mode
** Press and hold the Vol (-) button on the DB410c (S4)
** While pressing S4 button, power up the DB410c. It will come up in fastboot mode
* From the host PC terminal window, run the following commands:
bc. # Check to make sure fastboot device connected. If not resolve
sudo fastboot devices
# cd to the directory the bootloader zip file was extracted
cd <extraction directory>
sudo ./flashall
The bootloader is now installed on the DB410c.
h4. Boot and Rootfs
Fastboot is required to flash both the boot and rootfs images.
*Flashing boot and rootfs:*
bc. sudo fastboot flash boot dragonboard410c-boot-linux-20151214-35.img
sudo fastboot flash rootfs dragonboard410c-rootfs-debian-jessie-alip-20151214-35.emmc.img
Once flashed just reboot the board and enjoy :-)

h3. Boot Loader
Please see "https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Reference-Bootloader-Hikey#building-from-source":https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Reference-Bootloader-Hikey#building-from-source for instructions on how to built the boot loader from source.
h3. How to get and customize the kernel source code
h4. Building the Linux kernel from source
The Linux kernel used in this release is available via tags in the git "repository":https://github.com/rsalveti/linux
bc. git: https://github.com/rsalveti/linux
tag: 96boards-rpb-debian-15.12-hikey
defconfig: arch/arm64/defconfig kernel/configs/distro.config
The kernel image (@Image@) is located in the @/boot@ directory from the system partition (rootfs), with the modules also 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 HiKey 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/14.11/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz.
To build the Linux kernel, you can use the following instructions:
bc. git clone -n https://github.com/rsalveti/linux.git
cd linux
git checkout -b kernel-rpb-15.12 96boards-rpb-debian-15.12-hikey
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=<path to your GCC cross compiler>/aarch64-linux-gnu-
make defconfig distro.config
make -j4 Image dtbs KERNELRELEASE=4.3.0-your-custom-release
To boot using your own kernel, simply copy the kernel, modules and device tree to the root file system (similar to desktops), and create your own grub entry at @/boot/grub/grub.cfg@.
h4. 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:
bc. 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:
bc. sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep <pkg>
apt-get source <pkg>
Then you can rebuild the package locally with:
bc. cd <pkg-version>
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc

h2. Install Instructions - CE AOSP RPB 15.12 - HiKey
This guide describes how to get started with the CE AOSP Reference Platform Build, release 15.12, for HiKey.
For more information about the HiKey development board, please check "https://www.96boards.org/products/ce/hikey/":https://www.96boards.org/products/ce/hikey/
h3. Image Components
The CE AOSP RPB 15.12 - HiKey build is composed of the following artifacts:
* Bootloader:
** ARM Trusted Firmware, EDK2/UEFI and Grub2
** For more information about the reference bootloader used by HiKey, please check "Reference-Bootloader-Hikey":https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Reference-Bootloader-Hikey
** Pre-built files: "http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/bootloader":http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/bootloader
* Linux Kernel:
** Derived from Linux 4.1 kernel
** Git: "https://github.com/96boards/linux.git":https://github.com/96boards/linux.git
** Branch: *android-hikey-linaro-4.1*
* AOSP Android Marshmallow 6.0
h4. Closed source binaries
The following components requires a closed source binary for better hardware support:
* TI wlan firmware (@wl18xx@)
** Git: "http://git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/wl18xx_fw":http://git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/wl18xx_fw
** Branch: *R8.5*
* Extra firmware files available from firmware-linux
* Mali (requires EULA)
h3. Downloading the pre-built binaries
The build is composed by the traditional Android image files (@boot@, @cache@, @system@ and @userdata@), but to avoid incompatibilities issues with older bootloaders, or different partition tables, it's also recommended to flash the bootloader.
*Bootloader files:*
bc. wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/bootloader/l-loader.bin
wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/bootloader/nvme.img
wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/bootloader/fip.bin
wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/bootloader/ptable-aosp-4g.img
wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/bootloader/ptable-aosp-8g.img
wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/bootloader/hisi-idt.py
*CE AOSP RPB image:*
bc. wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/boot_fat.uefi.img.tar.xz
wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/cache.img.tar.xz
wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/userdata.img.tar.xz
wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/userdata-8gb.img.tar.xz
Since @system.img@ requires the user to accept an End User License Agreement covering the rights to download and use the proprietary Mali userspace driver, it needs to be manually downloaded via browser. Please go to "http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/system.img.tar.xz":http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/aosp/hikey/15.12/system.img.tar.xz and follow the instructions to download the file.
Uncompress the .tar.xz files using your operating system file manager, or with the following command, for each file:
bc. xz --decompress [filename].tar.xz; tar -xvf [filename].tar
h3. Flashing
h4. Bootloader
To flash the bootloader the recovery mode is required. For more information about the recovery mode, how to enable and use, please go to "https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Reference-Bootloader-Hikey#enabling-recovery-mode":https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Reference-Bootloader-Hikey#enabling-recovery-mode
Now you need to identify if your device contains 4G or 8G of eMMC (LeMaker produces 2 HiKey versions, one with 4G and another with 8G of storage). The @ptable-aosp@ and @userdata@ files will differ depending on the board you have.
On recovery mode, flash the bootloader with the following command:
bc. sudo python hisi-idt.py --img1=l-loader.bin -d /dev/ttyUSB0
Then on a 4G compatible device:
bc. sudo fastboot flash ptable ptable-aosp-4g.img
Or the following on a 8G compatible device:
bc. sudo fastboot flash ptable ptable-aosp-8g.img
Then flash UEFI:
bc. sudo fastboot flash fastboot fip.bin
Change @ttyUSB0@ to the right interface name that gets exported to your host system.
Make sure to reboot the board after updating the partition table (@ptable-aosp@), otherwise flashing the system image might fail.
h4. Boot, System, Cache and Userdata
Fastboot is required to flash boot, system, cache and userdata.
*Flashing boot, cache, system and userdata:*
Enable fastboot (either via recovery or by changing the boot jumpers), and then just flash the required files:
bc. sudo fastboot flash boot boot_fat.uefi.img
sudo fastboot flash cache cache.img
sudo fastboot flash system system.img
sudo fastboot flash nvme nvme.img
Then on a 4G compatible device:
bc. sudo fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Or the following on a 8G compatible device:
bc. sudo fastboot flash userdata userdata-8gb.img
Once flashed, make sure recovery mode is not enabled (pin3-pin4 on J15), that you don't have any sd card in place (since it first tries to boot from sd card, boot order can be changed with @sudo fastboot oem bootdevice [emmc|sd]@), then just reboot the board and enjoy :-)

* Mali (not yet included by default)
h3. Downloading the pre-built binaries
The build is mainly composed by two image files (boot and rootfs), but to avoid incompatibilities issues with older bootloaders, or different partition tables, it's also recommended to flash the bootloader.
Flashing and booting from the external SD Card is not supported by this release.
*Bootloader files:*
bc. wget http://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/debian/hikey/15.12/bootloader/l-loader.bin

h3. Flashing
h4. Bootloader
To flash the bootloader the recovery mode is required. For more information about the recovery mode, how to enable and use, please check "https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Reference-Bootloader-Hikey#enabling-recovery-mode":https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Reference-Bootloader-Hikey#enabling-recovery-mode
Now you need to identify if your device contains 4G or 8G of eMMC (LeMaker produces 2 HiKey versions, one with 4G and another with 8G of storage). The @ptable-linux@ file will differ depending on the board you have.
On recovery mode, flash the bootloader with the following command:
bc. sudo python hisi-idt.py --img1=l-loader.bin
Then on a 4G compatible device:
bc. sudo fastboot flash ptable ptable-linux-4g.img
Or the following on a 8G compatible device:
bc. sudo fastboot flash ptable ptable-linux-8g.img
Then flash UEFI:
bc. sudo fastboot flash fastboot fip.bin
Make sure to reboot the board after updating the partition table (@ptable-linux@), otherwise flashing the rootfs might fail.
h4. Boot and Rootfs
Fastboot is required to flash both the boot and rootfs images.
To avoid bug "117 (UEFI fastboot uploads hangs for large images)":https://bugs.96boards.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117, it's recommended to flash both the boot and rootfs images via recovery mode (after running @hisi-idt.py@).
*Flashing boot and rootfs:*
bc. sudo fastboot flash boot hikey-boot-linux-20151214-35.uefi.img
sudo fastboot flash system hikey-rootfs-debian-jessie-alip-20151214-35.emmc.img
Once flashed, make sure recovery mode is not enabled (pin3-pin4 on J15), that you dont have any sd card in place (since it first tries to boot from sd card, boot order can be changed with sudo fastboot oem bootdevice [emmc|sd]), then just reboot the board and enjoy :-)

***
#### 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
Dynamic tag: 96b-kernelci
Fixed tag: 96b/releases/2016.06
defconfig: arch/arm64/configs/distro.config
```
The kernel image (`Image`) and the kernel modules are installed in the root file system (e.g. `/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-104-arm64` and `/lib/modules/4.4.0-104-arm64`). 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 HiKey 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/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz), also available [here](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/)
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`, name it something relevant
```shell
#Example of desired directory
$ cd ~/Desktop
#Example of relevant folder
$ mkdir HiKey-16.06
$ cd HiKey-16.06
```
#### Step 2: Step 2: Download the Linaro cross compiler toolchain
- 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/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
#Unzip
$ tar -Jxvf gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
```
#### 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=~/Desktop/HiKey-16.06/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/:$PATH
#Check version
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02) 5.3.1 20160113
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
```
#### Step 4: Clone the Reference Platform kernel
- **96b-kernelci** is the development branch
- This branch will have the latest changes
- Use **96b/releases/2016.06** if you want the same version used by the 16.06 release
```shell
$ git clone -b 96b/releases/2016.06 http://github.com/96boards/linux.git
```
- Cloning the kernel may take a few minutes
- If you already have a local clone of another kernel git tree, use _--reference path/your/old/tree/.git_ for a faster clone process
- Once kernel source has been cloned cd into its directory
```shell
$ cd linux
```
#### 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
$ cp arch/arm64/configs/distro.config .config
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- oldconfig
```
- 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 and debian package
- This step will take some time (~20-30 minutes or more), depending on your cpu/memory
- Creating the kernel package is recommended for HiKey, as it supports Grub 2
```shell
#Replace X from -jX with the number of cores on your host computer
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -jX deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-yourowntag
```
#### Step 7: Find HiKey IP Address
- On your HiKey board
- 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 8: Transfer the modules to the target HiKey
- Using your board's IP Address for linaro@<yourIPaddress>
```shell
$ scp ../linux-image-4.4.0-yourowntag.deb linaro@192.168.1.15:~/
$ ssh linaro@192.168.1.15
#HiKey shell
$ hikey $ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-4.4.0-yourowntag.deb
```
Congratulations! Your new kernel is now ready to be used by your HiKey.
- You can check `/boot/grub/grub.cfg` for the new boot entry based on your own kernel
- If you want only your kernel to be available, you can remove the default linux-image package, and grub will be automatically updated
### Boot Loader
Please see go [here](BuildSourceBL.md) for instructions on how to built the boot loader from source.
#### 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:
```shell
cd <pkg-version>
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
```
#### TODO
* Explain how to build the rootfs from source

## HiKey Bootloader - Building from source
The source code is available from:
- [**l-loader**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/l-loader)
- [**ARM Trusted Firmware**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/arm-trusted-firmware)
- [**OP-TEE**](https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os)
- [**Tianocore EDK2 UEFI**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/edk2) and [**OpenPlatformPkg**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/OpenPlatformPkg)
Since GRUB2 is currently consumed directly from the Debian package, debian package rebuild instructions applies.
### Build instructions
Prerequisites:
- GCC 5.3 cross-toolchain for Aarch64 available in your PATH
- You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz)
- GCC 5.3 cross-toolchain for gnueabihf available in your PATH
- You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz)
- GPT fdisk (gdisk package from your favorite distribution).
#### Installing pre-built toolchain(s)
```shell
mkdir arm-tc arm64-tc
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm-tc -xf gcc-linaro-5.3-*arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm64-tc -xf gcc-linaro-5.3-*aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
export PATH="${PWD}/arm-tc/bin:${PWD}/arm64-tc/bin:$PATH"
```
#### Getting the source code
```shell
git clone -b hikey-aosp https://github.com/96boards-hikey/edk2.git
git clone -b hikey-aosp https://github.com/96boards-hikey/OpenPlatformPkg.git
git clone https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os.git
git clone -b hikey https://github.com/96boards-hikey/arm-trusted-firmware.git
git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/l-loader.git
git clone -b hikey-aosp https://github.com/96boards-hikey/uefi-tools.git
```
#### Building EDK2/UEFI for HiKey
Building EDK2/UEFI is simple if built with the _uefi-tools.sh_ script, since it already incorporates the platform specific configs and binaries.
To build EDK2/UEFI (use **-b** to select **RELEASE** or **DEBUG** build):
```shell
export AARCH64_TOOLCHAIN=GCC49
export EDK2_DIR=${PWD}/edk2
export OPTEE_DIR=${PWD}/optee_os
export ATF_DIR=${PWD}/arm-trusted-firmware
export UEFI_TOOLS_DIR=${PWD}/uefi-tools
cd ${EDK2_DIR}
rmdir OpenPlatformPkg; ln -s ../OpenPlatformPkg
${UEFI_TOOLS_DIR}/uefi-build.sh -b RELEASE -a ${ATF_DIR} -s ${OPTEE_DIR} hikey
```
And bl1.bin with l-loader (ptable files are also created as part of the l-loader Makefile):
```shell
cd ../l-loader
ln -s ${EDK2_DIR}/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin
ln -s ${EDK2_DIR}/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/FV/fip.bin
make # requires sudo for creating the partition tables
```
The files 'fip.bin', 'l-loader.bin' and 'ptable-linux-8g.img' are now built. All the image files are in _$BUILD/l-loader_ directory. The Fastboot App is at _edk2/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/AARCH64/AndroidFastbootApp.efi_.
#### EFI boot partition
The boot partition is a 64MB FAT partition only contains fastboot.efi and GRUB2, since the grub.cfg, kernel, initrd and device tree are all loaded from the root file system (grubaa64.efi searches for rootfs label/boot/grub/grub.cfg).
```shell
wget https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/grub/latest/grubaa64.efi
mkdir boot-fat
dd if=/dev/zero of=boot-fat.uefi.img bs=512 count=131072
sudo mkfs.fat -n "boot" boot-fat.uefi.img
sudo mount -o loop,rw,sync boot-fat.uefi.img boot-fat
sudo mkdir -p boot-fat/EFI/BOOT
sudo cp ${EDK2_DIR}/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/AARCH64/AndroidFastbootApp.efi boot-fat/EFI/BOOT/fastboot.efi
sudo cp grubaa64.efi boot-fat/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
sudo umount boot-fat
sudo mv boot-fat.uefi.img hikey-boot-linux-VERSION.uefi.img
rm -rf boot-fat
```
Now just flash the recently created 'hikey-boot-linux-VERSION.uefi.img' with the same instructions as used with the pre-built binaries.

# Enterprise Reference Platform
The enterprise reference platform is targeted to accelerate the high powered ARMv8 servers in both datacenter and cloud vertical markets. Industry standard firmware (SBBR and SBSA) and a unified Linux kernel are provided for all the supported platforms, simplifying software maintenance and deployment. The high level components such as Openstack, Ceph, Hadoop, and KVM are rigorously validated for each distribution. The enterprise software stack provides two builds based on Debian and Centos. The goal is to help bridge the gap between older technology present in todays distributions and the latest ARM server optimizations. For more information and support please visit the [ERP forum](https://discuss.linaro.org/c/erp).
**Features:**
- Unified Linux Kernel
- Open Boot Firmware
- Compliant with ARM SBSA and SBBR specifications
- Debian and Centos Network Installers
- Openstack and Ceph Reference Deployments
- Built for Big Data Workloads

# Big Data
This file provides all the instructions required to install Big Data components - Hadoop, Spark and Hive
# Big Data packages
The following Big data components are built as part of Linaro's Reference Architecture
* Hadoop 2.7.2
* Spark 2.0
* Hive 2.0.1
These components were built using Apache BigTop 1.1 and uses ODPi's code base.
# About ODPi
Check out the website https://www.odpi.org/
# Prerequisites
Java 8 (e.g. openjdk-8-jre) installed
# Linaro Repo
The package is available at the following repo:
Debian Jessie - http://repo.linaro.org/debian/erp-16.12-stable/
CentOS 7 - http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/repo
# Installation
## For Ubuntu
Add to repo source list (not required if you are using the installer from the Reference Platform):
$ echo "deb http://repo.linaro.org/debian/erp-16.12-stable/ jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-overlay-repo.list
Update the source list and install the dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get build-dep build-essential
Check Java version
java -version
This should print out OpenJDK8.
Install Hadoop, Spark and Hive
$ sudo apt-get install -ft jessie bigtop-tomcat bigtop-utils hadoop* spark-core zookeeper ^hive-* hbase oozie
## For Centos:
Add to repo source list (not required if you are using the installer from the Reference Platform):
$ sudo wget http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-staging/centos-7/linaro-staging.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/linaro-overlay.repo
Update the source list and install the dependencies
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum -y install openssh-server openssh-clients java-1.8.0-openjdk*
Install Hadoop, Spark and Hive
$ sudo yum install -y hadoop* spark* hive*
# Verifying Hadoop Installation
Packages would get installed in /usr/lib
Type hadoop to check if hadoop is installed.
$ hadoop
And you should see the following:
"linaro@debian:~$ hadoop Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] COMMAND where COMMAND is one of:
fs run a generic filesystem user client version print the version jar <jar> run a jar file checknative [-a|-h] check native hadoop and compression libraries availability distcp <srcurl> <desturl> copy file or directories recursively archive -archiveName NAME -p <parent path> <src>* <dest> create a hadoop archive classpath prints the class path needed to get the credential interact with credential providers
Hadoop jar and the required libraries
daemonlog get/set the log level for each daemon trace view and modify Hadoop tracing settings
or CLASSNAME run the class named CLASSNAME
Most commands print help when invoked w/o parameters. "
# Setup, Configuration and Running Hadoop
## Add Hadoop User
We need to create a dedicated user (hduser) for running Hadoop. This user needs to be added to hadoop user group:
$ sudo adduser hduser -G hadoop
give a password for hduser
$ sudo passwd hduser
Add hduser to sudoers list:
On Debian:
$ sudo adduser hduser sudo
On CentOS:
$ sudo usermod -G wheel hduser
Switch to hduser
$ su - hduser
Generate ssh key for hduser
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -P ""
Press <enter> to leave to default file name.
Enable ssh access to local machine
$ cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
$ chmod 600 $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
$ chmod 700 $HOME/.ssh
Test ssh setup
$ ssh localhost
$ exit
## Disabling IPv6
$ sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf
add the below lines and save
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
Prefer IPv4 on Hadoop:
$ sudo vi /etc/hadoop/conf/hadoop-env.sh
uncomment line
export HADOOP_OPTS=-Djava.net.preferIPV4stack=true
Run sysctl to apply the changes:
$ sudo sysctl -p
## Configuring the app environment
Back to the system, we need to configure the app environment by following steps:
$ sudo mkdir -p /app/hadoop/tmp
$ sudo chown hduser:hadoop /app/hadoop/tmp
$ sudo chmod 750 /app/hadoop/tmp
$ sudo chown hduser:hadoop /usr/lib/hadoop
$ sudo chmod 750 /usr/lib/hadoop
## Setting up Environment Variables
Follow the below steps to setup Environment Variables in bash file :
$ vi .bashrc
Add the following to the end and save:
export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop
export HADOOP_PREFIX=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=$HADOOP_PREFIX/lib/native"
export HADOOP_LIBEXEC_DIR=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=/etc/hadoop/conf
export HADOOP_COMMON_LIB_NATIVE_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/lib/native
export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce
export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-hdfs
export YARN_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-yarn
export HADOOP_YARN_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-yarn/
export HADOOP_USER_NAME=hdfs
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-common-2.7.2.jar:$HADOOP_HOME/client/hadoop-hdfs-2.7.2.jar:$HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-auth-2.7.2.jar:/usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/*:/usr/lib/hive/lib/*:/usr/lib/hadoop/lib/*:
export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:bin/java::")
export PATH=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec:/etc/hadoop/conf:$HADOOP_HOME/bin/:$PATH
$ source .bashrc
## Modifying config files
### core-site.xml
$ sudo vi /etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml
And add/modify the following settings: Look for property with fs.defaultFS and modify as below:
<property>
<name>fs.default.name</name>
<value>hdfs://localhost:54310</value>
<description>The name of the default file system. A URI whose
scheme and authority determine the FileSystem implementation. The
uri's scheme determines the config property (fs.SCHEME.impl) naming
the FileSystem implementation class. The uri's authority is used to
determine the host, port, etc. for a filesystem.
</description>
</property>
Add this to the bottom before tag: "</configuration>"
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/app/hadoop/tmp</value>
<description>A base for other temporary directories.</description>
</property>
### mapred-site.xml
$ sudo vi /etc/hadoop/conf/mapred-site.xml
Modify existing properties as follows: Look for property tag with as mapred.job.tracker and modify as below:
<property>
<name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
<value>localhost:54311</value>
<description>The host and port that the MapReduce job tracker runs
at. If "local", then jobs are run in-process as a single map
and reduce task.
</description>
</property>
### hdfs-site.xml
$ sudo vi /etc/hadoop/conf/hdfs-site.xml
Modify existing property as below:
<property>
<name>dfs.replication</name>
<value>1</value>
<description>Default block replication. The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created. The default is used if replication is not specified in create time.
</description>
</property>
Make sure the following properties are set correctly as below in hdfs-site.xml
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/cache/${user.name}</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name>
<value>/var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/cache/${user.name}/dfs/name</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.checkpoint.dir</name>
<value>/var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/cache/${user.name}/dfs/namesecondary</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.datanode.data.dir</name>
<value>/var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/cache/${user.name}/dfs/data</value>
</property>
Make sure the following properties are also present:
<property>
<name>dfs.name.dir</name>
<value>/var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/cache/${user.name}/dfs/nn</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.data.dir</name>
<value>/var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/cache/${user.name}/dfs/dn</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.permissions.supergroup</name>
<value>hadoop</value>
</property>
## Format Namenode
This step is needed for the first time. Doing it every time will result in loss of content on HDFS.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hdfs-namenode init
## Start the YARN daemons
$ for i in hadoop-hdfs-namenode hadoop-hdfs-datanode ; do sudo service $i start ; done
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager start
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager start
## Validating Hadoop
Check if hadoop is running. jps command should list namenode, datanode, yarn resource manager. or use ps aux
$ sudo jps
or
$ ps aux | grep java
Alternatively, check if yarn managers are running:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager status
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager status
You would see like below:

# HIVE
## Setting up environment for Hive
You can set up the Hive environment by appending the following lines to ~/.bashrc file:
export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop
export HADOOP_PREFIX=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=$HADOOP_PREFIX/lib/native"
export HADOOP_LIBEXEC_DIR=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-common-2.7.2.jar:$HADOOP_HOME/client/hadoop-hdfs-2.7.2.jar:$HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-auth-2.7.2.jar:/usr/lib/hive/lib/*:/usr/lib/hadoop/lib/*:.
export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:bin/java::")
export PATH=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec:/etc/hadoop/conf:$HADOOP_HOME/bin/:$PATH
export PATH=$HADOOP_HOME\bin:$PATH
export HIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/hive
export PATH=$PATH:$HIVE_HOME/bin
The following command is used to execute ~/.bashrc file.
$ source ~/.bashrc
## Configuring hive
To configure Hive with Hadoop, you need to edit the hive-env.sh file, which is placed in the $HIVE_HOME/conf directory. The following commands redirect to Hive config folder and copy the template file:
$ cd $HIVE_HOME/conf
$ sudo cp hive-env.sh.template hive-env.sh
Hive installation is completed successfully. Now you require an external database server to configure Metastore. We use Apache Derby database.
## Downloading and Installing Apache Derby
Follow the steps given below to download and install Apache Derby:
## Downloading Apache Derby
The following command is used to download Apache Derby. It takes some time to download.
$ cd ~
$ wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/db/derby/db-derby-10.4.2.0/db-derby-10.4.2.0-bin.tar.gz
The following command is used to verify the download:
$ ls
On successful download, you get to see the following response:
db-derby-10.4.2.0-bin.tar.gz
## Extracting and verifying Derby archive
The following commands are used for extracting and verifying the Derby archive:
$ tar zxvf db-derby-10.4.2.0-bin.tar.gz
$ ls
On successful download, you get to see the following response:
db-derby-10.4.2.0-bin
db-derby-10.4.2.0-bin.tar.gz
Copy the files from the extracted directory to the /usr/local/derby directory:
$ sudo mv db-derby-10.4.2.0-bin /usr/local/derby
## Setting up Environment for Derby
Set up the Derby environment by appending the following lines to ~/.bashrc file:
$ vi .bashrc
export DERBY_HOME=/usr/local/derby
export PATH=$PATH:$DERBY_HOME/bin
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$DERBY_HOME/lib/derby.jar:$DERBY_HOME/lib/derbytools.jar
The following command is used to execute ~/.bashrc file:
export DERBY_HOME=/usr/local/derby
export PATH=$PATH:$DERBY_HOME/bin
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$DERBY_HOME/lib/derby.jar:$DERBY_HOME/lib/derbytools.jar
$ source ~/.bashrc
### Create a directory to store Metastore
Create a directory named data in $DERBY_HOME directory to store Metastore data.
$ sudo mkdir $DERBY_HOME/data
Derby installation and environmental setup is now complete.
## Configuring Metastore of Hive
Configuring Metastore means specifying to Hive where the database is stored. You can do this by editing the hive-site.xml file, which is in the $HIVE_HOME/conf directory. First of all, copy the template file using the following command:
$ cd $HIVE_HOME/conf
$ sudo cp hive-default.xml.template hive-site.xml
Edit hive-site.xml and find entry 'javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL' and modifiy the value as below:
<name>hive.exec.scratchdir</name>
<value>/tmp/hive-${user.name}</value>
<name>hive.exec.local.scratchdir</name>
<value>/tmp/${user.name}</value>
<name>hive.downloaded.resources.dir</name>
<value>/tmp/${user.name}_resources</value>
<name>hive.scratch.dir.permission</name>
<value>733</value>
and change the values for the below properties like below:
<property>
<name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>
<value>jdbc:derby:;databaseName=/usr/lib/hive/tmp/metastore_db;create=true </value>
<description>JDBC connect string for a JDBC metastore </description>
</property>
Create a file named jpox.properties and add the following lines into it:
$ sudo vi jpox.properties
javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass =
org.jpox.PersistenceManagerFactoryImpl
org.jpox.autoCreateSchema = false
org.jpox.validateTables = false
org.jpox.validateColumns = false
org.jpox.validateConstraints = false
org.jpox.storeManagerType = rdbms
org.jpox.autoCreateSchema = true
org.jpox.autoStartMechanismMode = checked
org.jpox.transactionIsolation = read_committed
javax.jdo.option.DetachAllOnCommit = true
javax.jdo.option.NontransactionalRead = true
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName = org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL = jdbc:derby://hadoop1:1527/metastore_db;create = true
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName = APP
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword = mine
## Verifying Hive Installation
Before running Hive, you need to create the /tmp folder and a separate Hive folder in HDFS. Here, we use the /user/hive/warehouse folder. You need to set write permission for these newly created folders as shown below:
Make sure you are using hduser account. If not switch to hduser.
$ su - hduser
Now set them in HDFS before verifying Hive. Use the following commands:
$ $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop fs -mkdir /tmp
$ $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop fs -mkdir -p /user/hive/warehouse
$ $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop fs -chmod g+w /tmp
$ $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop fs -chmod g+w /user/hive/warehouse
'NOTE:' Before invoking hive make sure you have followed above instructions in installing and setting up Hadoop. Make sure hadoop services are running.
Run Hive metastore service
$ sudo service hive-metastore start
$ sudo $HIVE_HOME/bin/metatool -listFSRoot
Create tmp directory to run Hive under.
$ cd $HIVE_HOME
$ sudo mkdir tmp
$ sudo chown hduser tmp
$ cd tmp
The following commands are used to verify Hive installation:
$ $HIVE_HOME/bin/schematool -dbType derby -initSchema
$ hive -hiveconf hive.root.logger=DEBUG,console
On successful installation of Hive, you get to see the following response:
Logging initialized using configuration in jar:file:/home/hadoop/hive-0.9.0/lib/hive-common-0.9.0.jar!/hive-log4j.properties
Hive history file=/tmp/hadoop/hive_job_log_hadoop_201312121621_1494929084.txt
………………….
hive>
The following sample command is executed to display all the tables:
hive> show tables;
OK
Time taken: 2.798 seconds
hive>
# Errors / Issues and Resolutions
* If after creating hduser, trying to switch to hduser ( || $ su - hduser || ) gave the following error:
/* No directory, logging in with HOME=/ #
Then do the following:
Exit to root user delete the hduser and recreate it.
$ exit
$ sudo userdel hduser
$ sudo useradd -d /home/hduser -G hadoop -m hduser
* If Teragen, TeraSort and TeraValidate error out with 'permission denied' exception. The following steps can be done:
$ sudo groupadd supergroup
$ sudo usermod -g supergroup hduser
* If for some weird reason, if you notice the config files (core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, etc) are empty.
You may have delete all the packages and re-run the steps of installation from scratch.
/* Error while formatting namenode With the following command:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hdfs-namenode init
* If you see the following error: WARN net.DNS: Unable to determine local hostname -falling back to "localhost" java.net.UnknownHostException: centos: centos at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(InetAddress.java:1496) at org.apache.hadoop.net.DNS.resolveLocalHostname(DNS.java:264) at org.apache.hadoop.net.DNS.(DNS.java:57)
Something is wrong in the network setup. Please check /etc/hosts file.
$ sudo vi /etc/hosts
The hosts file should like below:
127.0.0.1 <hostname> localhost localhost.localdomain #hostname should have the output of $ hostname
::1 localhost
Also try the following steps:
$ sudo rm -Rf /app/hadoop/tmp
$ hadoop namenode -format
* If you see the below error with Hive while doing 'schematool -initSchema -dbType derby':

## Installing CentOS 7 - Reference Platform Enterprise
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official CentOS Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64](https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64)
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required CentOS 7 installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Downloading required Grub 2 UEFI files:
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI
wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
```
#### Downloading the CentOS 7 Reference Platform installer (e.g. 16.06 release):
```shell
mkdir /srv/tftp/centos7
cd /srv/tftp/centos7
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
```
Creating the Grub 2 config file (`grub.cfg`):
```shell
menuentry 'Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/centos7/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.stage2=https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/ inst.repo=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/ inst.ks=file:/ks.cfg
initrd (tftp)/centos7/initrd.img
}
```
**Note:** `inst.ks` is required because of the additional linaro-overlay repository (which contains the reference platform kernel rpm package), which is available inside the `initrd.img`. The `inst.ks` contains only one line, which is used by the installer to fetch and install the right kernel package. The content: `repo --name="linaro-overlay" --baseurl=http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/repo/`.
Also check the [RHEL 7](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-anaconda-boot-options.html) and the [anaconda documentation](https://rhinstaller.github.io/anaconda/boot-options.html) for additional boot options. One example is using **ip=eth1:dhcp** if you want to use the second network interface as default.
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── BOOTAA64.EFI
├── centos7
│   ├── initrd.img
│   └── vmlinuz
├── grubaa64.efi
└── grub.cfg
```
Now just make sure that @/etc/dnsmasq.conf@ is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
```
### Booting the installer
Now boot your platform of choice, selecting PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available).
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell
NOTICE: BL3-1:
NOTICE: BL3-1: Built : 15:14:55, Feb 9 2016

```
At this stage you should be able to see the Grub 2 menu, like:
```shell
Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform
.
Use the and keys to change the selection.
Press 'e' to edit the selected item, or 'c' for a command prompt.
```
Now just hit enter and wait for the kernel and initrd to load, which automatically loads the installer and provides you the installer console menu, so you can finally install CentOS 7.
You should see the following:
```shell

Welcome to CentOS Linux 7 (AltArch)!
...
Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 21.48.22.56-1 for CentOS Linux AltArch 7 started.
* installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
* shell is available on TTY2
* if the graphical installation interface fails to start, try again with the
inst.text bootoption to start text installation
* when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments
21:06:29 X startup failed, falling back to text mode
================================================================================
================================================================================
VNC
.
X was unable to start on your machine. Would you like to start VNC to connect t
o this computer from another computer and perform a graphical installation or co
ntinue with a text mode installation?
.
1) Start VNC
.
2) Use text mode
.
Please make your choice from above ['q' to quit | 'c' to continue |
'r' to refresh]: 2
[anaconda] 1:main* 2:shell 3:log 4:storage-log 5:program-log
```
For the text mode installer, just enter `2` and follow the instructions available in the console.
Menu items without that are not `[x]` must be set. Enter the menu number associated with the menu in order to configure it.
### Finishing the installation
After selecting the install destination, partitioning scheme, root password and users (optional), just enter `b` to proceed with the installation.
Once the installation is completed, you should be able to simply reboot the system in order to boot into your new CentOS 7 system.
### Automating the installation with kickstart
It is possible to fully automate the installer by providing a file called kickstart. The kickstart file is a plain text file, containing keywords that serve as directions for the installation. Check the RHEL 7 [kickstart guide](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-kickstart-howto.html) for further information about how to create your own kickstart file.
Kickstart example:
```shell
cmdline
url --url="http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/"
repo --name="CentOS" --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/
repo --name="Updates" --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/updates/aarch64/
repo --name="linaro-overlay" --baseurl=http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/repo/
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
timezone --utc Etc/UTC
auth --useshadow --passalgo=sha512
rootpw --lock --iscrypted locked
firewall --disabled
firstboot --disabled
selinux --disabled
reboot
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --activate --onboot=on
ignoredisk --only-use=sda
bootloader --location=mbr
clearpart --drives=sda --all --initlabel
part /boot/efi --fstype=efi --grow --maxsize=200 --size=20
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=512
part / --fstype=ext4 --size=10240 --grow
part swap --size=4000
%packages
wget
net-tools
chrony
%end
%post
useradd -m -U -G wheel linaro
echo linaro | passwd linaro --stdin
%end
```
#### Setting up grub.cfg
Now back to your tftp server, change the original grub.cfg file adding the location of your kickstart file:
```shell
menuentry 'Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/centos7/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.stage2=https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/ inst.ks=http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/centos-ks.cfg
initrd (tftp)/centos7/initrd.img
}
```
In case your system contains more than one network interface, also make sure to add the one to be used via the `ip` argument, like `ip=eth0:dhcp`.
#### Booting the system
Now just do a normal PXE boot, and anaconda should automatically load and use the kickstart file provided by grub.cfg. In case there is still a dialog that stops your installation that means not all the installer options are provided by your kickstart file. Get back to official documentation and try to find out what is the missing step.

## Installing Debian "Jessie" 8.5
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official Debian Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/index.html.en](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/index.html.en)
### Debian Installer
The released debian-installer from Debian Jessie contains a kernel based on 3.16, which doesn't yet provide support for development boards used by the reference software project. For a complete enterprise experience (including support for tip-based kernel with ACPI support and additional platforms), we also build and publish a custom debian installer that incorporates a more recent kernel.
Our custom installer changes nothing more than the kernel, and you can also find the instructions to build it from source at the end of this document.
## Loading debian-installer from the network
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](../DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required Debian installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Since the kernel, initrd and GRUB 2 is part of the debian-installer tarball (`netboot.tar.gz`), that is the only file you will need to download and use.
#### Downloading debian-installer:
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/debian-installer/16.06/netboot.tar.gz
tar -zxvf netboot.tar.gz
```
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── debian-installer
│   └── arm64
│   ├── bootnetaa64.efi
│   ├── grub
│   │   ├── arm64-efi
│   │   │   ├── acpi.mod
│   │   │   ├── adler32.mod
│   │   │   ├── all_video.mod
│   │   │   ├── archelp.mod
│   │   │   ├── bfs.mod
│   │   │   ├── bitmap.mod
│   │   │   ├── bitmap_scale.mod

│   │   ├── font.pf2
│   │   └── grub.cfg
│   ├── initrd.gz
│   └── linux
├── netboot.tar.gz
└── version.info
```
Now just make sure that `/etc/dnsmasq.conf` is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=debian-installer/arm64/bootnetaa64.efi
```
## Loading debian-installer from the minimal CD
Together with the debian-installer netboot files, a minimal ISO is also provided containing the same installer, which can be loaded as normal boot disk media.
Making a bootable SATA disk / USB stick / microSD card (attention to **/dev/sdX**, make sure that it is your target device first):
```
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/debian-installer/16.06/mini.iso
sudo cp mini.iso /dev/sdX
sync
```
Please refer to the [debian-manual](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/ch04s03.html.en) for a more complete guide on creating a CD, SATA disk, USB stick or micro SD with the minimal ISO.
## Booting the installer
If you are booting the installer from the network, simply select PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available). In case you are booting with the minimal ISO via SATA / USB / microSD, simply select the right boot option in UEFI.
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell
NOTICE: BL3-1:

Use the and keys to change the selection.
Press 'e' to edit the selected item, or 'c' for a command prompt.
```
Now just hit enter and wait for the kernel and initrd to load, which automatically loads the installer and provides you the installer console menu, so you can finally install Debian.
You should see the following:

### Finishing the installation
For using the installer, please check the documentation available at [https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/ch06.html.en](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/ch06.html.en)
**NOTE - Cello Only:** In case your mac address is empty (e.g. early boards), you will be required to change your default network mac address in order to proceed with the network install. Please open a shell after booted the installer (the installer offers the shell option at the first menu), and change the mac address as described below. Once changed, simply proceed with the install process.
```
~ # ip link set dev enp1s0 address de:5e:60:e4:6b:1f
~ # exit
```
Once the installation is completed, you should be able to simply reboot the system in order to boot your new Debian system.
**NOTE - Cello Only:** If you had to set a valid mac address during the installer, you will be required to also set the mac address in debian, after your first boot. Please change _/etc/network/interfaces_ and add your mac address again, like below:
```
root@debian:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
...
allow-hotplug enp1s0
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether de:5e:60:e4:6b:1f
```
### Automating the installation using preseeding
Preseeding provides a way to set answers to questions asked during the installation process, without having to manually enter the answers while the installation is running. This makes it possible to fully automate the installation over network, when used together with the debian-installer.
This document only provides a quick way for you to get started with preseeding. For the complete guide, please check the [Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/apb.html) and [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt)
**Note:** Since we require an external kernel to be installed during the install process, this is done via the `preseed/late_command` argument, so you if you decide to use that command as part of your preseed file, make sure to add the following as part of the multi-line command:
```shell
d-i preseed/late_command string in-target apt-get install -y linux-image-reference-arm64; # here you can add 'in-target foobar' for additional commands
```
#### Creating the preseed file
Check [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt) for a wide list of options supported by the Debian Jessie installer. Your file needs to use a similar format, but customized for your own needs.
Once created, make sure the file gets published into a network address that can be reachable from your target device.
Preseed example (`preseed.cfg`):
```shell
d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US
d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select us
d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 60
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
d-i netcfg/hostname string debian
d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string httpredir.debian.org
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
d-i passwd/root-password password linaro123
d-i passwd/root-password-again password linaro123
d-i passwd/user-fullname string Linaro User
d-i passwd/username string linaro
d-i passwd/user-password password linaro
d-i passwd/user-password-again password linaro
d-i passwd/user-default-groups string audio cdrom video sudo
d-i time/zone string UTC
d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean true
d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
d-i partman-auto/method string regular
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, web-server
d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server build-essential ca-certificates sudo vim ntp
d-i pkgsel/upgrade select safe-upgrade
d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note
```
In this example, this content is also available at [http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg](http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg)
#### Setting up grub.cfg
Now back to your tftp server, change the original `grub.cfg` file adding the location of your preseed file:
```shell
$ cat /srv/tftp/debian-installer/arm64/grub/grub.cfg
# Force grub to automatically load the first option
set default=0
set timeout=1
menuentry 'Install with preseeding' {
linux /debian-installer/arm64/linux auto=true priority=critical url=http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg ---
initrd /debian-installer/arm64/initrd.gz
}
```
The `auto` kernel parameter is an alias for `auto-install/enable` and setting it to `true` delays the locale and keyboard questions until after there has been a chance to preseed them, while `priority` is an alias for `debconf/priority` and setting it to `critical` stops any questions with a lower priority from being asked.
In case your system contains more than one network interface, also make sure to add the one to be used via the `interface` argument, like `interface=eth1`.
#### Booting the system
Now just do a normal PXE boot, and debian-installer should automatically load and use the preseeds file provided by `grub.cfg`. In case there is still a dialog that stops your installation that means not all the debian-installer options are provided by your preseeds file. Get back to [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt) and try to identify what is missing step.
Also make sure to check debian-installer's `/var/log/syslog` (by opening a shell) when debugging the installer.
### Building debian-installer from source
#### Build kernel package and udebs
Check the Debian [kernel-handbook](http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html) for the instructions required to build the debian kernel package from scratch. Since the installer only understands `udeb` packages, it is a good idea to reuse the official kernel packaging instructions and rules.
You can also find the custom kernel source package created as part of the EE-RPB effort at [https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/linux/enterprise/latest/](https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/linux/enterprise/latest/)
#### Rebuilding debian-installer with the new udebs
To build the installer, make sure you're running on a native `arm64` system, preferably running Debian Jessie.
Download the installer (from jessie):
```shell
sudo apt-get build-dep debian-installer
dget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-installer/debian-installer_20150422+deb8u4.dsc
```
Change the kernel abi and set a default local preseed (so it can install your kernel during the install process):
```shell
cd debian-installer-*
cd build
sed -i "s/LINUX_KERNEL_ABI.*/LINUX_KERNEL_ABI = YOUR_KERNEL_ABI/g" config/common
sed -i "s/PRESEED.*/PRESEED = default-preseed/g" config/common
```
Download the kernel udebs that you created at the localudebs folder:
```shell
cd localudebs
wget <list of your custom udeb files created by the kernel debian package>
cd ..
```
Create a local pkg-list to include the udebs created (otherwise d-i will not be able to find them online):
```shell
cat <<EOF > pkg-lists/local
ext4-modules-\${kernel:Version}
fat-modules-\${kernel:Version}
btrfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
md-modules-\${kernel:Version}
efi-modules-\${kernel:Version}
scsi-modules-\${kernel:Version}
jfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
xfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
ata-modules-\${kernel:Version}
sata-modules-\${kernel:Version}
usb-storage-modules-\${kernel:Version}
EOF
```
Set up the local repo, so the installer can locate your udebs (from localudebs):
```shell
cat <<EOF > sources.list.udeb
deb [trusted=yes] copy:/PATH/TO/your/installer/d-i/debian-installer-20150422/build/ localudebs/
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main/debian-installer
EOF
```
Default preseed to skip known errors (as the kernel provided by local udebs):
```
cat <<EOF > default-preseed
# Continue install on "no kernel modules were found for this kernel"
d-i anna/no_kernel_modules boolean true
# Continue install on "no installable kernels found"
d-i base-installer/kernel/skip-install boolean true
d-i base-installer/kernel/no-kernels-found boolean true
d-i preseed/late_command string in-target wget <your linux-image.deb>; dpkg -i linux-image-*.deb
EOF
```
Now just build the installer:
```shell
fakeroot make build_netboot
```
You should now find your custom debian-installer at `dest/netboot/netboot.tar.gz`.

## UEFI/EDK2
EDK2 is a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform firmware development environment for the UEFI and PI specifications.
The reference UEFI/EDK2 tree used by the EE-RPB comes directly from [upstream](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2), based on a specific commit that gets validated and published as part of the Linaro EDK2 effort (which is available at [https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git](https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git)).
Since there is no hardware specific support as part of EDK2 upstream, an external module called [OpenPlatformPkg](https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git) is also required as part of the build process.
EDK2 is currently used by 96boards LeMaker Cello, AMD Overdrive, ARM Juno r0/r1/r2, HiSilicon D02 and HiSilicon D03.
This guide provides enough information on how to build UEFI/EDK2 from scratch, but meant to be a quick guide. For further information please also check the official Linaro UEFI documentation, available at [https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/UEFI](https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/UEFI) and [https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/UEFI/build](https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/UEFI/build)
### Building
#### Pre-Requisites
Make sure the build dependencies are available at your host machine.
On Debian/Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt-get install uuid-dev build-essential aisle
```
On RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
```shell
sudo yum install uuid-devel libuuid-devel aisle
```
Also make sure you have the right 'acpica-unix' version at your host system. The current one required by the 16.03/16.06 releases is 20150930, and you can find the packages (debian) at the 'linaro-overlay':
```shell
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/acpica-tools_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_amd64.deb
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/acpidump_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_all.deb
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/iasl_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb
```
If cross compiling, you also need to separately add the required toolchains. Ubuntu has a prebuilt arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain, but not an aarch64-linux-gnu one.
Download Linaro's GCC 4.9 cross-toolchain for Aarch64, and make it available in your 'PATH'. You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 4.9-2015.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.02-3-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.02-3-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz)
```shell
mkdir arm-tc arm64-tc
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm-tc -xf gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-*_linux.tar.xz
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm64-tc -xf gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-*_linux.tar.xz
export PATH="${PWD}/arm-tc/bin:${PWD}/arm64-tc/bin:$PATH"
```

### Flashing
#### Juno R0/R1
##### Clean flash
Power on the board, and (if prompted) press Enter to stop auto boot. Once in Juno's boot monitor, use the following commands to erase Juno's flash and export it as an external storage:
```shell
Cmd> flash
Flash> eraseall
Flash> quit
Cmd> usb_on
```
This will delete any binaries and UEFI settings currently stored in the Juno's flash, then mount the Juno's MMC card as an external storage device on your host PC.
In order to do a clean flash on Juno, you will also need to flash the firmware provided by ARM, which can be downloaded from the Linaro ARM LT Versatile Express Firmware git tree:
```shell
git clone -b juno-0.11.6-linaro1 --depth 1 https://git.linaro.org/arm/vexpress-firmware.git
```
Then copy over the UEFI/EDK2 files that were built in the previous steps, making sure they get copied to the right firmware folder location:
```shell
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin vexpress-firmware/SOFTWARE
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/fip.bin vexpress-firmware/SOFTWARE
```
Now just copy all the files that are now available in the 'vexpress-firmware' folder into the mounted MMC card (which is provided as an external storage after calling 'usb_on'):
```shell
cp -rf vexpress-firmware/* /media/recovery
```
Be sure to issue a sync command on your host PC afterwards, which will guarantee that the copy has completed:
```shell
sync
```
Finally, power cycle the Juno. After it has finished copying the contents of the MMC card into Flash, the board will boot up and run the new firmware.
##### Upgrading UEFI/EDK2
If you already have a known working firmware available in your Juno, you simply need to update 'bl1.bin' and 'fip.bin', by mounting Juno's MMC over usb (as described in the procedure for clean flash).
Export Juno's MMC as a usb storage device on your host machine:
```shell
Cmd> usb_on
```
Then just copy over the UEFI/EDK2 files that were built in the previous steps:
```shell
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin /media/recovery/SOFTWARE
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/fip.bin /media/recovery/SOFTWARE
```
Be sure to issue a sync command on your host PC afterwards, which will guarantee that the copy has completed:
```shell
sync
```
Then just power cycle the Juno and the board should see and use the new firmware.
#### D02
Flashing D02 requires the board to have a working ethernet connection to the FTP server hosting the firmware (since the recovery UEFI image provides an update path via FTP fetch + flash). Flashing also requires entering the Embedded Boot Loader (EBL). This can be reached by typing 'exit' on the UEFI shell that will bring you to a bios-like menu. Goto 'Boot Manager' to find EBL.
##### Clean flash
First make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('PV660D02.fd'):
```shell
cp PV660D02.fd /srv/tftp/
```
Now follow the steps below in order to fetch and flash the new firmware:
1. Power off the board and unplug the power supply.
2. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **off** (check [http://open-estuary.com/d02-2/](http://open-estuary.com/d02-2/) for the board picture)
- The board has two SPI flash chips, and this switch selects which one to boot from.
3. Power on the device, stop the boot from the serial console, and get into the the 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)' shell
4. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **on**
- **NOTE:** make sure to run the step above before running 'biosupdate' (as it modifies the flash), or else the backup BIOS will also be modified and there will be no way to unbrick the board (unless sending it back to Huawei).
5. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master' like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f PV660D02.fd master'
6. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
##### Upgrading firmware
There are 2 options for updating the firmware, first via network and the second via USB storage.
Network upgrade:
1. Make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('PV660D02.fd')
2. Stop UEFI boot, select 'Boot Manager' then 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)'
3. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master', like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f PV660D02.fd master'
4. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
USB storage upgrade:
- Copy the '.fd' file to a FAT32 partition on USB (UEFI can only recognize FAT32 file system), then run the following command (from **EBL**):
'newbios fs1:\<file path to .fd file>'
On EBL fs1 is for USB first partition, while fs0 the ramdisk.
#### D03
Flashing D03 requires the board to have a working ethernet connection to the FTP server hosting the firmware (since the recovery UEFI image provides an update path via FTP fetch + flash). Flashing also requires entering the Embedded Boot Loader (EBL). This can be reached by typing 'exit' on the UEFI shell that will bring you to a bios-like menu. Goto 'Boot Manager' to find EBL.
##### Clean flash
To do a clean flash you will require access to the board's BMC.
1. Make sure the board's BMC port is connected, and with a known IP address.
2. Login the BMC website, The username/passwd is root/Huawei12#$. Go to "System", "Firmware Upgrade", and "Browse" to select the UEFI file in hpm format. (Please contact support@open-estuary.org to get the hpm file).
3. Pull out the power cable to power off the board. Find the pin named "COM_SW" at J44. Then connect it with jump cap.
4. Power on the board and connect to the board's serial port. When the screen display message "You are trying to access a restricted zone. Only Authorized Users allowed.", type "Enter", input username/passwd (username/passwd is root/Huawei12#$).
5. After you login the BMC interface which start with "iBMC:/->", use command "ifconfig" to see the modified BMC IP. When you get the board's BMC IP, please visit the BMC website by "https://BMC IP ADDRESS/".
6. Go to "Start Update" (Do not power off during this period).
7. After updating the UEFI firmware, reboot the board to enter UEFI menu.
##### Upgrading firmware
There are 2 options for updating the firmware, first via network and the second via USB storage.
Network upgrade:
1. Make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('D03.fd')
2. Stop UEFI boot, select 'Boot Manager' then 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)'
3. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master', like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f D03.fd master'
4. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
USB storage upgrade:
- Copy the '.fd' file to a FAT32 partition on USB (UEFI can only recognize FAT32 file system), then run the following command (from **EBL**):
'newbios fs1:\<file path to .fd file>'
On EBL fs1 is for USB first partition, while fs0 the ramdisk.
#### AMD Overdrive / HuskyBoard / Cello
##### Clean flash
###### DediProg SF100
Use [DediProg SF100](http://www.dediprog.com/pd/spi-flash-solution/sf100) to flash the firmware via SPI, by plugging the programming unit into the Overdrive/Husky/Cello board 2x4 pin header (labeled SCP SPI J5 on Overdrive).
The Dediprog flashing tool is also available for Linux, please check for [https://github.com/DediProgSW/SF100Linux](https://github.com/DediProgSW/SF100Linux) for build and use instructions.
First unplug the power cord before flashing the new firmware, then erase the SPI flash memory:
```shell
dpcmd --type MX25L12835F -e
```
Now just flash the new firmware:
```shell
dpcmd --type MX25L12835F -p FIRMWARE.rom
```
Then just power cycle the board, and it should boot with the new firmware.
###### SPI Hook
Use [SPI Hook](http://www.tincantools.com/SPI_Hook.html) and _flashrom_ to flash the firmware via SPI, by plugging the programming unit into the Overdrive/Husky/Cello board 2x4 pin header (labeled SCP SPI J5 on Overdrive).
In order to use SPI Hook, make sure _flashrom_ is recent enough. This utility is used to identify, read, write, verify and erase flash chips. You can find the _flashrom_ package in most Linux distributions, but make sure the version at least v.0.9.8. If older, please just build latest from source, by going to [flashrom Downloads](https://www.flashrom.org/Downloads)
Depending on the size of the firmware image, flashrom might not be able to flash as it will complain that the size of the image is not a perfect match for the size of the SPI (partial flash only supported via the use of layouts). One easy way is just appending 0s at the end of the file, until it got the right size.
Example for the 4.5M based firmware:
```shell
dd if=/dev/zero of=FIRMWARE.ROM ibs=512K count=23 obs=1M oflag=append conv=notrunc
```
Connect the SPI cable, unplug the power cord and flash SPI:
```shell
sudo flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=2232h,port=A,divisor=2 -c "MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E" -w FIRMWARE.rom
```
Then just power cycle the board, and it should boot with the new firmware.
##### Upgrading firmware
There is currently no easy way to update just the UEFI/EDK2 firmware, so please follow the clean flash process instead.

## Installing CentOS 7 - Reference Platform Enterprise
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official CentOS Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64](https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64)
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required CentOS 7 installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Downloading required Grub 2 UEFI files:
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI
wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
```
#### Downloading the CentOS 7 Reference Platform installer (e.g. 16.06 release):
```shell
mkdir /srv/tftp/centos7
cd /srv/tftp/centos7
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
```
Creating the Grub 2 config file (`grub.cfg`):
```shell
menuentry 'Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/centos7/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.stage2=https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/ inst.repo=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/ inst.ks=file:/ks.cfg
initrd (tftp)/centos7/initrd.img
}
```
**Note:** `inst.ks` is required because of the additional linaro-overlay repository (which contains the reference platform kernel rpm package), which is available inside the `initrd.img`. The `inst.ks` contains only one line, which is used by the installer to fetch and install the right kernel package. The content: `repo --name="linaro-overlay" --baseurl=http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/repo/`.
Also check the [RHEL 7](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-anaconda-boot-options.html) and the [anaconda documentation](https://rhinstaller.github.io/anaconda/boot-options.html) for additional boot options. One example is using **ip=eth1:dhcp** if you want to use the second network interface as default.
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── BOOTAA64.EFI
├── centos7
│   ├── initrd.img
│   └── vmlinuz
├── grubaa64.efi
└── grub.cfg
```
Now just make sure that @/etc/dnsmasq.conf@ is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
```
### Booting the installer
Now boot your platform of choice, selecting PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available).
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell
NOTICE: BL3-1:

```
At this stage you should be able to see the Grub 2 menu, like:
```shell
Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform
.
Use the and keys to change the selection.
Press 'e' to edit the selected item, or 'c' for a command prompt.
```
Now just hit enter and wait for the kernel and initrd to load, which automatically loads the installer and provides you the installer console menu, so you can finally install CentOS 7.
You should see the following:
```shell

o this computer from another computer and perform a graphical installation or co
ntinue with a text mode installation?
.
1) Start VNC

2) Use text mode
.
Please make your choice from above ['q' to quit | 'c' to continue |
'r' to refresh]: 2
[anaconda] 1:main* 2:shell 3:log 4:storage-log 5:program-log
```
For the text mode installer, just enter `2` and follow the instructions available in the console.
Menu items without that are not `[x]` must be set. Enter the menu number associated with the menu in order to configure it.
### Finishing the installation
After selecting the install destination, partitioning scheme, root password and users (optional), just enter `b` to proceed with the installation.
Once the installation is completed, you should be able to simply reboot the system in order to boot into your new CentOS 7 system.
### Automating the installation with kickstart
It is possible to fully automate the installer by providing a file called kickstart. The kickstart file is a plain text file, containing keywords that serve as directions for the installation. Check the RHEL 7 [kickstart guide](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-kickstart-howto.html) for further information about how to create your own kickstart file.
Kickstart example:
```shell
cmdline
url --url="http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/"
repo --name="CentOS" --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/
repo --name="Updates" --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/updates/aarch64/
repo --name="linaro-overlay" --baseurl=http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/repo/
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
timezone --utc Etc/UTC
auth --useshadow --passalgo=sha512
rootpw --lock --iscrypted locked
firewall --disabled
firstboot --disabled
selinux --disabled
reboot
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --activate --onboot=on
ignoredisk --only-use=sda
bootloader --location=mbr
clearpart --drives=sda --all --initlabel
part /boot/efi --fstype=efi --grow --maxsize=200 --size=20
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=512
part / --fstype=ext4 --size=10240 --grow
part swap --size=4000
%packages
wget
net-tools
chrony
%end
%post
useradd -m -U -G wheel linaro
echo linaro | passwd linaro --stdin
%end
```
#### Setting up grub.cfg
Now back to your tftp server, change the original grub.cfg file adding the location of your kickstart file:
```shell
menuentry 'Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/centos7/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.stage2=https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/ inst.ks=http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/centos-ks.cfg
initrd (tftp)/centos7/initrd.img
}
```
In case your system contains more than one network interface, also make sure to add the one to be used via the `ip` argument, like `ip=eth0:dhcp`.
#### Booting the system
Now just do a normal PXE boot, and anaconda should automatically load and use the kickstart file provided by grub.cfg. In case there is still a dialog that stops your installation that means not all the installer options are provided by your kickstart file. Get back to official documentation and try to find out what is the missing step.

## Installing Debian "Jessie" 8.5
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official Debian Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/index.html.en](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/index.html.en)
### Debian Installer
The released debian-installer from Debian Jessie contains a kernel based on 3.16, which doesn't yet provide support for development boards used by the reference software project. For a complete enterprise experience (including support for tip-based kernel with ACPI support and additional platforms), we also build and publish a custom debian installer that incorporates a more recent kernel.
Our custom installer changes nothing more than the kernel, and you can also find the instructions to build it from source at the end of this document.
## Loading debian-installer from the network
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](../DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required Debian installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Since the kernel, initrd and GRUB 2 is part of the debian-installer tarball (`netboot.tar.gz`), that is the only file you will need to download and use.
#### Downloading debian-installer:
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/debian-installer/16.06/netboot.tar.gz
tar -zxvf netboot.tar.gz
```
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── debian-installer
│   └── arm64
│   ├── bootnetaa64.efi
│   ├── grub
│   │   ├── arm64-efi
│   │   │   ├── acpi.mod
│   │   │   ├── adler32.mod
│   │   │   ├── all_video.mod
│   │   │   ├── archelp.mod
│   │   │   ├── bfs.mod
│   │   │   ├── bitmap.mod
│   │   │   ├── bitmap_scale.mod
│   │   │   ├── blocklist.mod
│   │   │   ├── boot.mod
│   │   │   ├── btrfs.mod
│   │   │   ├── bufio.mod
...
│   │   │   ├── xzio.mod
│   │   │   └── zfscrypt.mod
│   │   ├── font.pf2
│   │   └── grub.cfg
│   ├── initrd.gz
│   └── linux
├── netboot.tar.gz
└── version.info
```
Now just make sure that `/etc/dnsmasq.conf` is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=debian-installer/arm64/bootnetaa64.efi
```
## Loading debian-installer from the minimal CD
Together with the debian-installer netboot files, a minimal ISO is also provided containing the same installer, which can be loaded as normal boot disk media.
Making a bootable SATA disk / USB stick / microSD card (attention to **/dev/sdX**, make sure that it is your target device first):
```
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/debian-installer/16.06/mini.iso
sudo cp mini.iso /dev/sdX
sync
```
Please refer to the [debian-manual](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/ch04s03.html.en) for a more complete guide on creating a CD, SATA disk, USB stick or micro SD with the minimal ISO.
## Booting the installer
If you are booting the installer from the network, simply select PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available). In case you are booting with the minimal ISO via SATA / USB / microSD, simply select the right boot option in UEFI.
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell

### Finishing the installation
For using the installer, please check the documentation available at [https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/ch06.html.en](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/ch06.html.en)
**NOTE - Cello Only:** In case your mac address is empty (e.g. early boards), you will be required to change your default network mac address in order to proceed with the network install. Please open a shell after booted the installer (the installer offers the shell option at the first menu), and change the mac address as described below. Once changed, simply proceed with the install process.
```
~ # ip link set dev enp1s0 address de:5e:60:e4:6b:1f
~ # exit
```
Once the installation is completed, you should be able to simply reboot the system in order to boot your new Debian system.
**NOTE - Cello Only:** If you had to set a valid mac address during the installer, you will be required to also set the mac address in debian, after your first boot. Please change _/etc/network/interfaces_ and add your mac address again, like below:
```
root@debian:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
...
allow-hotplug enp1s0
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether de:5e:60:e4:6b:1f
```
### Automating the installation using preseeding
Preseeding provides a way to set answers to questions asked during the installation process, without having to manually enter the answers while the installation is running. This makes it possible to fully automate the installation over network, when used together with the debian-installer.
This document only provides a quick way for you to get started with preseeding. For the complete guide, please check the [Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/apb.html) and [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt)
**Note:** Since we require an external kernel to be installed during the install process, this is done via the `preseed/late_command` argument, so you if you decide to use that command as part of your preseed file, make sure to add the following as part of the multi-line command:
```shell
d-i preseed/late_command string in-target apt-get install -y linux-image-reference-arm64; # here you can add 'in-target foobar' for additional commands
```
#### Creating the preseed file
Check [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt) for a wide list of options supported by the Debian Jessie installer. Your file needs to use a similar format, but customized for your own needs.
Once created, make sure the file gets published into a network address that can be reachable from your target device.
Preseed example (`preseed.cfg`):
```shell
d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US
d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select us
d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 60
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
d-i netcfg/hostname string debian
d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string httpredir.debian.org
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
d-i passwd/root-password password linaro123
d-i passwd/root-password-again password linaro123
d-i passwd/user-fullname string Linaro User
d-i passwd/username string linaro
d-i passwd/user-password password linaro
d-i passwd/user-password-again password linaro
d-i passwd/user-default-groups string audio cdrom video sudo
d-i time/zone string UTC
d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean true
d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
d-i partman-auto/method string regular
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, web-server
d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server build-essential ca-certificates sudo vim ntp
d-i pkgsel/upgrade select safe-upgrade
d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note
```
In this example, this content is also available at [http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg](http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg)
#### Setting up grub.cfg
Now back to your tftp server, change the original `grub.cfg` file adding the location of your preseed file:
```shell
$ cat /srv/tftp/debian-installer/arm64/grub/grub.cfg
# Force grub to automatically load the first option
set default=0
set timeout=1
menuentry 'Install with preseeding' {
linux /debian-installer/arm64/linux auto=true priority=critical url=http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg ---
initrd /debian-installer/arm64/initrd.gz
}
```
The `auto` kernel parameter is an alias for `auto-install/enable` and setting it to `true` delays the locale and keyboard questions until after there has been a chance to preseed them, while `priority` is an alias for `debconf/priority` and setting it to `critical` stops any questions with a lower priority from being asked.
In case your system contains more than one network interface, also make sure to add the one to be used via the `interface` argument, like `interface=eth1`.
#### Booting the system
Now just do a normal PXE boot, and debian-installer should automatically load and use the preseeds file provided by `grub.cfg`. In case there is still a dialog that stops your installation that means not all the debian-installer options are provided by your preseeds file. Get back to [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt) and try to identify what is missing step.
Also make sure to check debian-installer's `/var/log/syslog` (by opening a shell) when debugging the installer.
### Building debian-installer from source
#### Build kernel package and udebs
Check the Debian [kernel-handbook](http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html) for the instructions required to build the debian kernel package from scratch. Since the installer only understands `udeb` packages, it is a good idea to reuse the official kernel packaging instructions and rules.
You can also find the custom kernel source package created as part of the EE-RPB effort at [https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/linux/enterprise/latest/](https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/linux/enterprise/latest/)
#### Rebuilding debian-installer with the new udebs
To build the installer, make sure you're running on a native `arm64` system, preferably running Debian Jessie.
Download the installer (from jessie):
```shell
sudo apt-get build-dep debian-installer
dget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-installer/debian-installer_20150422+deb8u4.dsc
```
Change the kernel abi and set a default local preseed (so it can install your kernel during the install process):
```shell
cd debian-installer-*
cd build
sed -i "s/LINUX_KERNEL_ABI.*/LINUX_KERNEL_ABI = YOUR_KERNEL_ABI/g" config/common
sed -i "s/PRESEED.*/PRESEED = default-preseed/g" config/common
```
Download the kernel udebs that you created at the localudebs folder:
```shell
cd localudebs
wget <list of your custom udeb files created by the kernel debian package>
cd ..
```
Create a local pkg-list to include the udebs created (otherwise d-i will not be able to find them online):
```shell
cat <<EOF > pkg-lists/local
ext4-modules-\${kernel:Version}
fat-modules-\${kernel:Version}
btrfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
md-modules-\${kernel:Version}
efi-modules-\${kernel:Version}
scsi-modules-\${kernel:Version}
jfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
xfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
ata-modules-\${kernel:Version}
sata-modules-\${kernel:Version}
usb-storage-modules-\${kernel:Version}
EOF
```
Set up the local repo, so the installer can locate your udebs (from localudebs):
```shell
cat <<EOF > sources.list.udeb
deb [trusted=yes] copy:/PATH/TO/your/installer/d-i/debian-installer-20150422/build/ localudebs/
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main/debian-installer
EOF
```
Default preseed to skip known errors (as the kernel provided by local udebs):
```
cat <<EOF > default-preseed
# Continue install on "no kernel modules were found for this kernel"
d-i anna/no_kernel_modules boolean true
# Continue install on "no installable kernels found"
d-i base-installer/kernel/skip-install boolean true
d-i base-installer/kernel/no-kernels-found boolean true
d-i preseed/late_command string in-target wget <your linux-image.deb>; dpkg -i linux-image-*.deb
EOF
```
Now just build the installer:
```shell
fakeroot make build_netboot
```
You should now find your custom debian-installer at `dest/netboot/netboot.tar.gz`.

## Pre-Requisites and Dependencies
Make sure the build dependencies are available at your host machine.
On Debian/Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt-get install uuid-dev build-essential aisle
```
On RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
```shell
sudo yum install uuid-devel libuuid-devel aisle
```
Also make sure you have the right 'acpica-unix' version at your host system. The current one required by the 16.03/16.06 releases is 20150930, and you can find the packages (debian) at the 'linaro-overlay':
```shell
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/acpica-tools_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_amd64.deb
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/acpidump_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_all.deb
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/iasl_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb
```
If cross compiling, you also need to separately add the required toolchains. Ubuntu has a prebuilt arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain, but not an aarch64-linux-gnu one.
Download Linaro's GCC 4.9 cross-toolchain for Aarch64, and make it available in your 'PATH'. You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 4.9-2015.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.02-3-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.02-3-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz)
```shell
mkdir arm-tc arm64-tc
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm-tc -xf gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-*_linux.tar.xz
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm64-tc -xf gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-*_linux.tar.xz
export PATH="${PWD}/arm-tc/bin:${PWD}/arm64-tc/bin:$PATH"
```
## Getting the source code
UEFI/EDK2:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git
git clone https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git
cd edk2
git checkout -b stable-baseline 469e1e1e4203b5d369fdce790883cb0aa035a744 # revision provided by https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git
ln -s ../OpenPlatformPkg
```
ARM Trusted Firmware (in case it is supported by your target hardware, only used by Juno at this point):
```shell
git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware.git
cd arm-trusted-firmware
git checkout -b stable-baseline v1.2 # suggested latest stable release
```

## D03
Flashing D03 requires the board to have a working ethernet connection to the FTP server hosting the firmware (since the recovery UEFI image provides an update path via FTP fetch + flash). Flashing also requires entering the Embedded Boot Loader (EBL). This can be reached by typing 'exit' on the UEFI shell that will bring you to a bios-like menu. Goto 'Boot Manager' to find EBL.
### Clean flash
To do a clean flash you will require access to the board's BMC.
1. Make sure the board's BMC port is connected, and with a known IP address.
2. Login the BMC website, The username/passwd is root/Huawei12#$. Go to "System", "Firmware Upgrade", and "Browse" to select the UEFI file in hpm format. (Please contact support@open-estuary.org to get the hpm file).
3. Pull out the power cable to power off the board. Find the pin named "COM_SW" at J44. Then connect it with jump cap.
4. Power on the board and connect to the board's serial port. When the screen display message "You are trying to access a restricted zone. Only Authorized Users allowed.", type "Enter", input username/passwd (username/passwd is root/Huawei12#$).
5. After you login the BMC interface which start with "iBMC:/->", use command "ifconfig" to see the modified BMC IP. When you get the board's BMC IP, please visit the BMC website by "https://BMC IP ADDRESS/".
6. Go to "Start Update" (Do not power off during this period).
7. After updating the UEFI firmware, reboot the board to enter UEFI menu.
### Upgrade Firmware
There are 2 options for updating the firmware, first via network and the second via USB storage.
Network upgrade:
1. Make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('D03.fd')
2. Stop UEFI boot, select 'Boot Manager' then 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)'
3. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master', like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f D03.fd master'
4. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
USB storage upgrade:
- Copy the '.fd' file to a FAT32 partition on USB (UEFI can only recognize FAT32 file system), then run the following command (from **EBL**):
'newbios fs1:\<file path to .fd file>'
On EBL fs1 is for USB first partition, while fs0 the ramdisk.
***
## AMD Overdrive / HuskyBoard / Cello
### Clean flash
#### DediProg SF100
Use [DediProg SF100](http://www.dediprog.com/pd/spi-flash-solution/sf100) to flash the firmware via SPI, by plugging the programming unit into the Overdrive/Husky/Cello board 2x4 pin header (labeled SCP SPI J5 on Overdrive).
The Dediprog flashing tool is also available for Linux, please check for [https://github.com/DediProgSW/SF100Linux](https://github.com/DediProgSW/SF100Linux) for build and use instructions.
First unplug the power cord before flashing the new firmware, then erase the SPI flash memory:
```shell
dpcmd --type MX25L12835F -e
```
Now just flash the new firmware:
```shell
dpcmd --type MX25L12835F -p FIRMWARE.rom
```
Then just power cycle the board, and it should boot with the new firmware.
#### SPI Hook
Use [SPI Hook](http://www.tincantools.com/SPI_Hook.html) and _flashrom_ to flash the firmware via SPI, by plugging the programming unit into the Overdrive/Husky/Cello board 2x4 pin header (labeled SCP SPI J5 on Overdrive).
In order to use SPI Hook, make sure _flashrom_ is recent enough. This utility is used to identify, read, write, verify and erase flash chips. You can find the _flashrom_ package in most Linux distributions, but make sure the version at least v.0.9.8. If older, please just build latest from source, by going to [flashrom Downloads](https://www.flashrom.org/Downloads)
Depending on the size of the firmware image, flashrom might not be able to flash as it will complain that the size of the image is not a perfect match for the size of the SPI (partial flash only supported via the use of layouts). One easy way is just appending 0s at the end of the file, until it got the right size.
Example for the 4.5M based firmware:
```shell
truncate --size=16M FIRMWARE.rom
```
Connect the SPI cable, unplug the power cord and flash SPI:
```shell
sudo flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=2232h,port=A,divisor=2 -c "MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E" -w FIRMWARE.rom
```
Then just power cycle the board, and it should boot with the new firmware.
### Upgrade Firmware
There is currently no easy way to update just the UEFI/EDK2 firmware, so please follow the clean flash process instead.

EDK2 is a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform firmware development environment for the UEFI and PI specifications.
The reference UEFI/EDK2 tree used by the EE-RPB comes directly from [upstream](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2), based on a specific commit that gets validated and published as part of the Linaro EDK2 effort (which is available at [https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git](https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git)).
Since there is no hardware specific support as part of EDK2 upstream, an external module called [OpenPlatformPkg](https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git) is also required as part of the build process.
EDK2 is currently used by 96boards LeMaker Cello, AMD Overdrive, ARM Juno r0/r1/r2, HiSilicon D02 and HiSilicon D03.
This guide provides enough information on how to build UEFI/EDK2 from scratch, but meant to be a quick guide. For further information please also check the official Linaro UEFI documentation, available at [https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/UEFI](https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/UEFI) and [https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/UEFI/build](https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/UEFI/build)

# OpenStack
This repository provides all the support code required to deploy a "Developer
Cloud".
# OpenStack packages
The OpenStack packages are built by Linaro and made available in the following
location:
http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/repo
The build scripts for the packages are available in this repository on the
[`openstack-venvs`](https://git.linaro.org/leg/sdi/openstack-ref-architecture.git/tree/openstack-venvs) folder. These scripts are provided on as is basis, and they
are tailored specifically for Linaro's building environment. Use only at your
own risk.
# Reference Architecture
The reference architecture deploys a cloud that uses Ceph as backend for OpenStack:
[https://git.linaro.org/leg/sdi/openstack-ref-architecture.git](https://git.linaro.org/leg/sdi/openstack-ref-architecture.git)
See block diagram of how the servers should be connected to the network and how to
spread the services on the different hosts on a default configuration in the [architecture document](docs/architecture.md).
# Pre-requisites
1. All the servers are supposed to have Linaro ERP 16.12 installed and they are supposed to
have networking configured in a way that they can see/resolve each other's names.
1. The nodes that will be used as Ceph OSDs need to have at least one extra harddrive for Ceph.
1. The networking node should have 3 NICs connected as described in the [architecture document](docs/architecture.md).
# Configuration
Some example configuration files are provided in this repo as example, go through them and
generate the equivalent ones for your particular deployment:
ansible/hosts.example
group_vars/all
Ensure to use host names, instead of ips to avoid some known deployment issues.
The playbook assumes your own files are in a folder called `ansible/secrets`, so the recommendation
is to place your files there.
# The deployment
The deployment can be split in two different parts. Ceph and OpenStack.
## Deploying Ceph
1) Monitors are deployed and the cluster bootstrapmd:
ansible-playbook -K -v -i ./hosts ./site.yml --tags ceph-mon
Check that the cluster is up and running by connecting to one of the monitors
and checking:
ssh server1
ceph daemon mon.server1 mon_status
2) OSDs assume a full hard drive is dedicated to Ceph at least. A default
configuration if all the servers that will be OSDs have the same HD layout
can be spedified in group_vars/all as follows:
```
ceph_host_osds:
- sbX
- sbY
- sbZ
```
If some server has a different configuration, this will be specified in the
hostvars folder, in a file with the name of your server. For example:
```
$ cat hostvars/server1
ceph_host_osds:
- sbZ
- sbY
```
After configuring, the OSDs are deployed as follows:
ansible-playbook -K -v -i ./secrets/hosts ./site.yml --tags ceph-osd
2.1) In the case of setting up a cluster from scratch where ceph has been installed
previously, there is an option to force the resetting of all the disks (this
option WILL DELETE all the data on the OSDs). This option is not
idempotent, use at your own risk. It is safe to use if you have cleanly deployed
the machine and the disk to be used as OSD had a previously installed Ceph:
--extra-vars 'ceph_force_prepare=true'
## Deploying OpenStack
OpenStack is deployed using Ansible with the playbook defined in the "ansible"
directory. You'll need to create the files "deployment-vars" and "hosts" to
match your environment. There are examples to help guide you. Once those files
are in place, OpenStack can be deployed with:
ansible-playbook -K -v -i secrets/hosts site.yml

# Network Diagram
This diagram is orientative to show how the physical networks
are expected to be set up.
The two networks are physical networks segmented between 2 different VLANS. The
internal network is a traditional lab internal network that all the servers can
see. The openstack services will communicate with each other on this
fairly safe network. Outbound traffic on this network is routed through the
external router.
The "VMS NET" is a 2nd VLAN (can be same or different physical switch).
This network is private with no outbound routes. The compute nodes and the
network node talk over this network using VXLAN to provide private virtualized
networks defined and managed by OpenStack. The network node as a single interface
bridged to the public internet and a range of public IPv4 addresses that can
be assigned as floating IPs to expose VMs to the internet.

## Reference Platform Builds - 15.12
The *15.12* release is the second release for the Reference Software Platform project, and for the first time also including support for the Enterprise Edition. Since there is still no availability for the 96Boards HuskyBoard, the first EE RPB was produced using the current enterprise development boards that are available in Linaro, such as HiSilicon D02 and AMD Overdrive (same SoC from HuskyBoard, known as Seattle). Once HuskBoard is available, the work for making it supported by the EE RPB should be minimal.
A lot of work was put in place for the EE RPB, covering firmware (UEFI/EDK2), Linux 4.4 (with ACPI), Debian Jessie/CentOS 7 network installers, OpenStack Liberty, Hadoop, Spark and a few others, consolidating the work from several other Linaro groups and teams as well as from community and members.
For the Consumer Edition the CE AOSP RPB for Hikey is now using a 4.1 based kernel, closer to what is provided directly by AOSP. We decided to not push major updates and rebases for the CE Debian RPB kernel since we want the changes to follow the same [kernel policy](../../KernelPolicy.md) as used by the EE kernel. The goal of having one single tree for both CE and EE, with a strict upstream-based policy will continue, and we hope to have more news on that during the upcoming weeks.
The work for the CE OE/Yocto RPB was also started, but unfortunately not yet covering a single machine (due lack of a single kernel). Please check [https://github.com/96boards/meta-rpb](https://github.com/96boards/meta-rpb) and https://github.com/96boards/oe-rpb-manifest to see what was already done for OpenEmbedded.
##### Highlights for this release:
###### Enterprise Edition
- Firmware:
- UEFI/EDK2 support for D02, provided by OpenPlatformPkg
- Linux:
- 4.4-rc4 based, including support for D02 and Overdrive

## Reference Platform Build - 15.12 Release - Known Issues
### Enterprise
#### Kernel
- "Bug 1966":https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1966 - KVM errors when booting on overdrive and d02
#### HiSilicon D02
- "Bug 1965":https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1965 - D02: kernel unable to find valid mac for the network interfaces
- "Bug 1967":https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1967 - D02: unhandled level 3 permission fault (11)
- "Bug 1975":https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1975 - D02: Kernel can only see 2GB of memory (from 8GB)
- *SATA*: Due to bugs in the SATA controller, there is a risk of disk corruption when installing to a SATA disk. This is expected to be fixed in subsequent silicon revisions.
- *SAS*: not yet supported in EDK2. For it to work on linux only, this "patch":https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git/commit/96d58c4318584f066b1bb7f1c48b72e7e25cf709 needs to be reverted on UEFI/EDK2, but then an alternative boot method needs to be used (since UEFI/EDK2 is unable to load grub/kernel from SAS).
#### AMD Overdrive
- UEFI/EDK2 is not yet supported

## Setting up DHCP/TFTP server for UEFI distro network installers
A simple way to install the major Linux Distributions (e.g. Debian, Fedora, CentOS, openSUSE, etc) is by booting the network installer via PXE. In order to have a working PXE environment, a DHCP and TFTP server is required, which is responsible for providing the target device a valid IP configuration and the required files to boot the system (usually Grub 2 + kernel + initrd).
In order to simplify the setup, this document will use dnsmasq, which is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server with BOOTP/TFTP/PXE functionality.
### Installing and configuring dnsmasq
Debian/Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
```
Fedora/CentOS/RHEL:
```shell
yum install dnsmasq
```
This guide assumes you already know the network interface that will provide the DHCP/TFTP/PXE functionality for the target device. In this case, we are using _eth1_ as our secondary interface, with address _192.168.3.1_.
Following is the /etc/dnsmasq.conf providing the required functionality for PXE:
```shell
interface=eth1
dhcp-range=192.168.3.10,192.168.3.100,255.255.255.0,1h
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/srv/tftp
```
Check [http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html](http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html) for more information and additional dnsmasq config options.
Now make sure the tftp-root directory is available, and then start/restart the dnsmasq service:
```shell
sudo mkdir -p /srv/tftp
sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq
```
Since we require UEFI support for the Reference Platform Software Enterprise Edition (EE-RPB), this document doesn't cover the traditional pxelinux specific configuration (used with the traditional BIOS setup).
For UEFI, we only require DHCP to provide the UEFI binary name (retrieved via TFTP), which in this case is the Grub 2 bootloader (which then loads the kernel, initrd and other extra files from the TFTP server).

## Installing Fedora 23
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official Fedora 23 Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/F23/Installation](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/F23/Installation)
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required Fedora 23 installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Downloading required Grub 2 UEFI files:
**Note:** Because of bug [1251600](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251600), we need to use both `BOOTAA64.EFI` and `grubaa64.efi` from the Fedora 22 release.
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/22/Server/aarch64/os/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/22/Server/aarch64/os/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
```
Downloading upstream Kernel and Initrd
```shell
mkdir /srv/tftp/f23
cd /srv/tftp/f23
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
```
Creating the Grub 2 config file (`grub.cfg`):
```shell
menuentry 'Install Fedora 23 ARM 64-bit' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/f23/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/os/
initrd (tftp)/f23/initrd.img
}
```
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── BOOTAA64.EFI
├── f23
│   ├── initrd.img
│   └── vmlinuz
├── grubaa64.efi
└── grub.cfg
```
Now just make sure that @/etc/dnsmasq.conf@ is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
```
### Booting the installer
Now boot your platform of choice, selecting PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available).
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell
NOTICE: BL3-1:
NOTICE: BL3-1: Built : 18:22:46, Nov 23 2015

```
At this stage you should be able to see the Grub 2 menu, like:
```shell
Install Fedora 23 ARM 64-bit
.
Use the and keys to change the selection.
Press 'e' to edit the selected item, or 'c' for a command prompt.
```
Now just hit enter and wait for the kernel and initrd to load, which automatically loads the installer and provides you the installer console menu, so you can finally install Fedora 23 (just make sure that target device has external network access, since the installer is downloaded automatically after booting the kernel).
You should see the following:

This post concentrates on Running Hadoop after [installing](ODPi-Hadoop-Installation.md) ODPi components built using Apache BigTop. These steps are only for configuring it on a single node and running them on a single node.
# Add Hadoop User
We need to create a dedicated user (hduser) for running Hadoop. This user needs to be added to hadoop usergroup:
```shell
sudo useradd -G hadoop hduser
```
give a password for hduser
```shell
sudo passwd hduser
```
Add hduser to sudoers list
On Debian:
```shell
sudo adduser hduser sudo
```
On Centos:
```shell
sudo usermod -G wheel hduser
```
Switch to hduser:
```shell
sudo su - hduser
```
# Generate ssh key for hduser
```shell
ssh-keygen -t rsa -P ""
```
Press \<enter\> to leave to default file name.
Enable ssh access to local machine:
```shell
cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
```
Test ssh setup, as hduser:
```shell
ssh localhost
```
# Disabling IPv6
```shell
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
```
Add the below lines to the end and save:
```shell
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
```
Prefer IPv4 on Hadoop:
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/hadoop-env.sh
```
Uncomment line:
```shell
# export HADOOP_OPTS=-Djava.net.preferIPV4stack=true
```
Run sysctl to apply the changes:
```shell
sudo sysctl -p
```
# Configuring the app environment
Configure the app environment by following steps:
```shell
sudo mkdir -p /app/hadoop/tmp
sudo chown hduser:hadoop /app/hadoop/tmp
sudo chmod 750 /app/hadoop/tmp
sudo chown hduser:hadoop /usr/lib/hadoop
sudo chmod 750 /usr/lib/hadoop
```
# Setting up Environment Variables
Follow the below steps to setup Environment Variables in bash file :
```shell
sudo su - hduser
nano .bashrc
```
Add the following to the end and save:
```shell
export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop
export HADOOP_PREFIX=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=$HADOOP_PREFIX/lib/native"
export HADOOP_LIBEXEC_DIR=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop
export HADOOP_COMMON_LIB_NATIVE_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/lib/native
export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce
export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-hdfs
export YARN_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-yarn
export HADOOP_YARN_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-yarn/
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-common-2.6.0.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HADOOP_HOME/client/hadoop-hdfs-2.6.0.jar
export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:bin/java::")
export PATH=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec:/etc/hadoop/conf:$HADOOP_HOME/bin/:$PATH
```
Execute the terminal environment again (`bash`), or simply logout and change to `hduser` again.
# Modifying config files
## core-site.xml
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml
```
And add/modify the following settings:
Look for property with <name> fs.defaultFS</name> and modify as below:
```shell
<property>
<name>fs.default.name</name>
<value>hdfs://localhost:54310</value>
<description>The name of the default file system. A URI whose
scheme and authority determine the FileSystem implementation. The
uri's scheme determines the config property (fs.SCHEME.impl) naming
the FileSystem implementation class. The uri's authority is used to
determine the host, port, etc. for a filesystem.</description>
</property>
```
Add this to the bottom before \</configuration> tag:
```shell
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/app/hadoop/tmp</value>
<description>A base for other temporary directories.</description>
</property>
```
## mapred-site.xml
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/mapred-site.xml
```
Modify existing properties as follows:
Look for property tag with <name> as mapred.job.tracker and modify as below:
```shell
<property>
<name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
<value>localhost:54311</value>
<description>The host and port that the MapReduce job tracker runs
at. If "local", then jobs are run in-process as a single map
and reduce task.
</description>
</property>
```
## hdfs-site.xml:
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/hdfs-site.xml
```
Modify existing property as below :
```shell
<property>
<name>dfs.replication</name>
<value>1</value>
<description>Default block replication.
The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created.
The default is used if replication is not specified in create time.
</description>
</property>
```
# Format Namenode
This step is needed for the first time. Doing it every time will result in loss of content on HDFS.
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hdfs-namenode init
```
# Start the YARN daemons
```shell
for i in hadoop-hdfs-namenode hadoop-hdfs-datanode ; do sudo service $i start ; done
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager start
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager start
```
# Validating Hadoop
Check if hadoop is running. jps command should list namenode, datanode, yarn resource manager. or use ps aux
```shell
sudo jps
```
or
```shell
ps aux | grep java
```
Alternatively, check if yarn managers are running:
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager status
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager status
```
You would see like below:
```shell

```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager stop
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager stop
for i in hadoop-hdfs-namenode hadoop-hdfs-datanode ; do sudo service $i stop; done
```
## Potential Errors / Issues and Resolutions ##
* If Teragen, TeraSort and TeraValidate error out with 'permission denied' exception. The following steps can be done:
```shell
sudo groupadd supergroup
sudo usermod -g supergroup hduser
```
* If for some weird reason, if you notice the config files (core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, etc) are empty.
```shell
You may have delete all the packages and re-run the steps of installation from scratch.
```
* Error while formatting namenode
With the following command:
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hdfs-namenode init
If you see the following error:
WARN net.DNS: Unable to determine local hostname -falling back to "localhost"
java.net.UnknownHostException: centos: centos
at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(InetAddress.java:1496)
at org.apache.hadoop.net.DNS.resolveLocalHostname(DNS.java:264)
at org.apache.hadoop.net.DNS.<clinit>(DNS.java:57)
Something is wrong in the network setup. Please check /etc/hosts file.
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hosts
```
The hosts file should like below:
```shell
127.0.0.1 <hostname> localhost localhost.localdomain #hostname should have the output of $ hostname
::1 localhost
```
Also try the following steps:
```shell
sudo rm -Rf /app/hadoop/tmp
hadoop namenode -format
```

* CentOS 7 - http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/
# Installation :
### On Debian:
Add to repo source list (**not required if you are using the installer from the Reference Platform**):
```shell
echo "deb http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-overlay-repo.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E13D88F7E3C1D56C
```
Update the source list and install the dependencies:
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssh-server rsync openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk
sudo apt-get build-dep build-essential
```
Install Hadoop packages:
```shell
sudo apt-get install -ft jessie bigtop-tomcat bigtop-utils hadoop* spark* hue* zookeeper* hive* hbase* oozie* pig* mahout*
```
### On CentOS:
```shell
sudo wget http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/linaro-overlay.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/linaro-overlay.repo
sudo yum update
sudo yum -y install openssh-server openssh-clients java-1.7.0-openjdk*
sudo yum install -y bigtop-tomcat bigtop-utils hadoop* spark* hue* zookeeper* hive* hbase* oozie* pig* mahout*
```
### Verifying Installation
Packages would get installed in /usr/lib
Type hadoop to check if hadoop is installed:
```shell
hadoop
```
And you should see the following:
```shell
linaro@debian:~$ hadoop
Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] COMMAND
where COMMAND is one of:
fs run a generic filesystem user client
version print the version
jar <jar> run a jar file
checknative [-a|-h] check native hadoop and compression libraries availability
distcp <srcurl> <desturl> copy file or directories recursively
archive -archiveName NAME -p <parent path> <src>* <dest> create a hadoop archive
classpath prints the class path needed to get the
credential interact with credential providers
Hadoop jar and the required libraries
daemonlog get/set the log level for each daemon
trace view and modify Hadoop tracing settings
or
CLASSNAME run the class named CLASSNAME
```
Most commands print help when invoked w/o parameters.

# OpenStack Liberty - Debian Jessie
# Introduction
In general, the instructions in the Liberty install guide should be followed: http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/install-guide-ubuntu/overview.html. This guide will describe changes to the documented procedures that should be kept in mind while going through the guide.
Each section below will correspond to a section in the guide. Guide sections that do not have a corresponding section below may be followed as-is.
# Release Notes
## Configuring images for aarch64
An image must be configured specially in glance to be able to boot correctly on aarch64.
To attach the devices to the virtio bus (which does not allow hotplugging a volume, but will work if the image does not have SCSI support), the following properties must be set:
```shell
--property hw_machine_type=virt
--property os_command_line='root=/dev/vda rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0'
--property hw_cdrom_bus=virtio
```
To attach the devices to the SCSI bus (which does allow hotplugging a volume, but might not be supported by the guest image), the following properties must be set:
```shell
--property hw_scsi_model='virtio-scsi'
--property hw_disk_bus='scsi'
--property os_command_line='root=/dev/sda rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0'
```
You can set these properties when you are uploading the image into glance, or modify the image if you have already uploaded it.
# Pre-Installation
## Verify/enable additional repositories
Verify that the `linaro-overlay` and `jessie-backports` repositories are enabled.
Check if they are available by checking `/etc/apt/sources.list` and `/etc/apt/sources.list.d`.
If missing, add the following to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d` directory:
```shell
$ echo "deb http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-overlay-repo.list
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E13D88F7E3C1D56C
```
If missing, add the following to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d` directory:
```shell
$ echo "deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list
```
## Modify repository priorities
Create `/etc/apt/preferences.d/jessie-backports`:
```shell
Package: *
Pin: release a=jessie-backports
Pin-Priority: 500
```
Then, make sure to run apt-get update:
```shell
$ sudo apt-get update
```
## Environment
Update `/etc/hosts` to add “controller” as an alias for localhost.
```shell
127.0.0.1 localhost controller
```
## Disable IPV6
Add the following to `/etc/sysctl.conf`:
```shell
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1
```
Run sysctl to apply the changes:
```shell
$ sudo sysctl -p
```
# Following the Openstack guide...

## Setting up DHCP/TFTP server for UEFI distro network installers
A simple way to install the major Linux Distributions (e.g. Debian, Fedora, CentOS, openSUSE, etc) is by booting the network installer via PXE. In order to have a working PXE environment, a DHCP and TFTP server is required, which is responsible for providing the target device a valid IP configuration and the required files to boot the system (usually Grub 2 + kernel + initrd).
In order to simplify the setup, this document will use dnsmasq, which is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server with BOOTP/TFTP/PXE functionality.
### Installing and configuring dnsmasq
Debian/Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
```
Fedora/CentOS/RHEL:
```shell
yum install dnsmasq
```
This guide assumes you already know the network interface that will provide the DHCP/TFTP/PXE functionality for the target device. In this case, we are using _eth1_ as our secondary interface, with address _192.168.3.1_.
Following is the /etc/dnsmasq.conf providing the required functionality for PXE:
```shell
interface=eth1
dhcp-range=192.168.3.10,192.168.3.100,255.255.255.0,1h
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/srv/tftp
```
Check [http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html](http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html) for more information and additional dnsmasq config options.
Now make sure the tftp-root directory is available, and then start/restart the dnsmasq service:
```shell
sudo mkdir -p /srv/tftp
sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq
```
Since we require UEFI support for the Reference Platform Software Enterprise Edition (EE-RPB), this document doesn't cover the traditional pxelinux specific configuration (used with the traditional BIOS setup).
For UEFI, we only require DHCP to provide the UEFI binary name (retrieved via TFTP), which in this case is the Grub 2 bootloader (which then loads the kernel, initrd and other extra files from the TFTP server).

## Installing CentOS 7 - Reference Platform Enterprise
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official CentOS Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64](https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64)
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required CentOS 7 installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Downloading required Grub 2 UEFI files:
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI
wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
```
#### Downloading the CentOS 7 Reference Platform installer (e.g. 16.06 release):
```shell
mkdir /srv/tftp/centos7
cd /srv/tftp/centos7
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
```
Creating the Grub 2 config file (`grub.cfg`):
```shell
menuentry 'Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/centos7/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.stage2=https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/ inst.repo=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/ inst.ks=file:/ks.cfg
initrd (tftp)/centos7/initrd.img
}
```
**Note:** `inst.ks` is required because of the additional linaro-overlay repository (which contains the reference platform kernel rpm package), which is available inside the `initrd.img`. The `inst.ks` contains only one line, which is used by the installer to fetch and install the right kernel package. The content: `repo --name="linaro-overlay" --baseurl=http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/repo/`.
Also check the [RHEL 7](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-anaconda-boot-options.html) and the [anaconda documentation](https://rhinstaller.github.io/anaconda/boot-options.html) for additional boot options. One example is using **ip=eth1:dhcp** if you want to use the second network interface as default.
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── BOOTAA64.EFI
├── centos7
│   ├── initrd.img
│   └── vmlinuz
├── grubaa64.efi
└── grub.cfg
```
Now just make sure that @/etc/dnsmasq.conf@ is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
```
### Booting the installer
Now boot your platform of choice, selecting PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available).
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell
NOTICE: BL3-1:

At this stage you should be able to see the Grub 2 menu, like:
```shell
Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform
.
Use the and keys to change the selection.
Press 'e' to edit the selected item, or 'c' for a command prompt.
```
Now just hit enter and wait for the kernel and initrd to load, which automatically loads the installer and provides you the installer console menu, so you can finally install CentOS 7.
You should see the following:

[anaconda] 1:main* 2:shell 3:log 4:storage-log 5:program-log
```
For the text mode installer, just enter `2` and follow the instructions available in the console.
Menu items without that are not `[x]` must be set. Enter the menu number associated with the menu in order to configure it.
### Finishing the installation
After selecting the install destination, partitioning scheme, root password and users (optional), just enter `b` to proceed with the installation.
Once the installation is completed, you should be able to simply reboot the system in order to boot into your new CentOS 7 system.
### Automating the installation with kickstart
It is possible to fully automate the installer by providing a file called kickstart. The kickstart file is a plain text file, containing keywords that serve as directions for the installation. Check the RHEL 7 [kickstart guide](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-kickstart-howto.html) for further information about how to create your own kickstart file.
Kickstart example:
```shell
cmdline
url --url="http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/"
repo --name="CentOS" --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/
repo --name="Updates" --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/updates/aarch64/
repo --name="linaro-overlay" --baseurl=http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/repo/
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
timezone --utc Etc/UTC
auth --useshadow --passalgo=sha512
rootpw --lock --iscrypted locked
firewall --disabled
firstboot --disabled
selinux --disabled
reboot
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --activate --onboot=on
ignoredisk --only-use=sda
bootloader --location=mbr
clearpart --drives=sda --all --initlabel
part /boot/efi --fstype=efi --grow --maxsize=200 --size=20
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=512
part / --fstype=ext4 --size=10240 --grow
part swap --size=4000
%packages
wget
net-tools
chrony
%end
%post
useradd -m -U -G wheel linaro
echo linaro | passwd linaro --stdin
%end
```
#### Setting up grub.cfg
Now back to your tftp server, change the original grub.cfg file adding the location of your kickstart file:
```shell
menuentry 'Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/centos7/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.stage2=https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/ inst.ks=http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/centos-ks.cfg
initrd (tftp)/centos7/initrd.img
}
```
In case your system contains more than one network interface, also make sure to add the one to be used via the `ip` argument, like `ip=eth0:dhcp`.
#### Booting the system
Now just do a normal PXE boot, and anaconda should automatically load and use the kickstart file provided by grub.cfg. In case there is still a dialog that stops your installation that means not all the installer options are provided by your kickstart file. Get back to official documentation and try to find out what is the missing step.

## Installing Debian "Jessie" 8.5
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official Debian Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/index.html.en](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/index.html.en)
### Debian Installer
The released debian-installer from Debian Jessie contains a kernel based on 3.16, which doesn't yet provide support for development boards used by the reference software project. For a complete enterprise experience (including support for tip-based kernel with ACPI support and additional platforms), we also build and publish a custom debian installer that incorporates a more recent kernel.
Our custom installer changes nothing more than the kernel, and you can also find the instructions to build it from source at the end of this document.
## Loading debian-installer from the network
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](../DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required Debian installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Since the kernel, initrd and GRUB 2 is part of the debian-installer tarball (`netboot.tar.gz`), that is the only file you will need to download and use.
#### Downloading debian-installer:
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/debian-installer/16.06/netboot.tar.gz
tar -zxvf netboot.tar.gz
```
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── debian-installer
│   └── arm64
│   ├── bootnetaa64.efi
│   ├── grub
│   │   ├── arm64-efi
│   │   │   ├── acpi.mod
│   │   │   ├── adler32.mod
│   │   │   ├── all_video.mod
│   │   │   ├── archelp.mod
│   │   │   ├── bfs.mod
│   │   │   ├── bitmap.mod
│   │   │   ├── bitmap_scale.mod
│   │   │   ├── blocklist.mod
│   │   │   ├── boot.mod
│   │   │   ├── btrfs.mod
│   │   │   ├── bufio.mod
...
│   │   │   ├── xzio.mod
│   │   │   └── zfscrypt.mod
│   │   ├── font.pf2
│   │   └── grub.cfg
│   ├── initrd.gz
│   └── linux
├── netboot.tar.gz
└── version.info
```
Now just make sure that `/etc/dnsmasq.conf` is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=debian-installer/arm64/bootnetaa64.efi
```
## Loading debian-installer from the minimal CD
Together with the debian-installer netboot files, a minimal ISO is also provided containing the same installer, which can be loaded as normal boot disk media.
Making a bootable SATA disk / USB stick / microSD card (attention to **/dev/sdX**, make sure that it is your target device first):
```
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/debian-installer/16.06/mini.iso
sudo cp mini.iso /dev/sdX
sync
```
Please refer to the [debian-manual](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/ch04s03.html.en) for a more complete guide on creating a CD, SATA disk, USB stick or micro SD with the minimal ISO.
## Booting the installer
If you are booting the installer from the network, simply select PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available). In case you are booting with the minimal ISO via SATA / USB / microSD, simply select the right boot option in UEFI.
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell

```
Now just hit enter and wait for the kernel and initrd to load, which automatically loads the installer and provides you the installer console menu, so you can finally install Debian.
You should see the following:
```shell

### Finishing the installation
For using the installer, please check the documentation available at [https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/ch06.html.en](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/ch06.html.en)
**NOTE - Cello Only:** In case your mac address is empty (e.g. early boards), you will be required to change your default network mac address in order to proceed with the network install. Please open a shell after booted the installer (the installer offers the shell option at the first menu), and change the mac address as described below. Once changed, simply proceed with the install process.
```
~ # ip link set dev enp1s0 address de:5e:60:e4:6b:1f
~ # exit
```
Once the installation is completed, you should be able to simply reboot the system in order to boot your new Debian system.
**NOTE - Cello Only:** If you had to set a valid mac address during the installer, you will be required to also set the mac address in debian, after your first boot. Please change _/etc/network/interfaces_ and add your mac address again, like below:
```
root@debian:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
...
allow-hotplug enp1s0
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether de:5e:60:e4:6b:1f
```
### Automating the installation using preseeding
Preseeding provides a way to set answers to questions asked during the installation process, without having to manually enter the answers while the installation is running. This makes it possible to fully automate the installation over network, when used together with the debian-installer.
This document only provides a quick way for you to get started with preseeding. For the complete guide, please check the [Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/apb.html) and [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt)
**Note:** Since we require an external kernel to be installed during the install process, this is done via the `preseed/late_command` argument, so you if you decide to use that command as part of your preseed file, make sure to add the following as part of the multi-line command:
```shell
d-i preseed/late_command string in-target apt-get install -y linux-image-reference-arm64; # here you can add 'in-target foobar' for additional commands
```
#### Creating the preseed file
Check [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt) for a wide list of options supported by the Debian Jessie installer. Your file needs to use a similar format, but customized for your own needs.
Once created, make sure the file gets published into a network address that can be reachable from your target device.
Preseed example (`preseed.cfg`):
```shell
d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US
d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select us
d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 60
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
d-i netcfg/hostname string debian
d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string httpredir.debian.org
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
d-i passwd/root-password password linaro123
d-i passwd/root-password-again password linaro123
d-i passwd/user-fullname string Linaro User
d-i passwd/username string linaro
d-i passwd/user-password password linaro
d-i passwd/user-password-again password linaro
d-i passwd/user-default-groups string audio cdrom video sudo
d-i time/zone string UTC
d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean true
d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
d-i partman-auto/method string regular
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, web-server
d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server build-essential ca-certificates sudo vim ntp
d-i pkgsel/upgrade select safe-upgrade
d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note
```
In this example, this content is also available at [http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg](http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg)
#### Setting up grub.cfg
Now back to your tftp server, change the original `grub.cfg` file adding the location of your preseed file:
```shell
$ cat /srv/tftp/debian-installer/arm64/grub/grub.cfg
# Force grub to automatically load the first option
set default=0
set timeout=1
menuentry 'Install with preseeding' {
linux /debian-installer/arm64/linux auto=true priority=critical url=http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg ---
initrd /debian-installer/arm64/initrd.gz
}
```
The `auto` kernel parameter is an alias for `auto-install/enable` and setting it to `true` delays the locale and keyboard questions until after there has been a chance to preseed them, while `priority` is an alias for `debconf/priority` and setting it to `critical` stops any questions with a lower priority from being asked.
In case your system contains more than one network interface, also make sure to add the one to be used via the `interface` argument, like `interface=eth1`.
#### Booting the system
Now just do a normal PXE boot, and debian-installer should automatically load and use the preseeds file provided by `grub.cfg`. In case there is still a dialog that stops your installation that means not all the debian-installer options are provided by your preseeds file. Get back to [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt) and try to identify what is missing step.
Also make sure to check debian-installer's `/var/log/syslog` (by opening a shell) when debugging the installer.
### Building debian-installer from source
#### Build kernel package and udebs
Check the Debian [kernel-handbook](http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html) for the instructions required to build the debian kernel package from scratch. Since the installer only understands `udeb` packages, it is a good idea to reuse the official kernel packaging instructions and rules.
You can also find the custom kernel source package created as part of the EE-RPB effort at [https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/linux/enterprise/latest/](https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/linux/enterprise/latest/)
#### Rebuilding debian-installer with the new udebs
To build the installer, make sure you're running on a native `arm64` system, preferably running Debian Jessie.
Download the installer (from jessie):
```shell
sudo apt-get build-dep debian-installer
dget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-installer/debian-installer_20150422+deb8u4.dsc
```
Change the kernel abi and set a default local preseed (so it can install your kernel during the install process):
```shell
cd debian-installer-*
cd build
sed -i "s/LINUX_KERNEL_ABI.*/LINUX_KERNEL_ABI = YOUR_KERNEL_ABI/g" config/common
sed -i "s/PRESEED.*/PRESEED = default-preseed/g" config/common
```
Download the kernel udebs that you created at the localudebs folder:
```shell
cd localudebs
wget <list of your custom udeb files created by the kernel debian package>
cd ..
```
Create a local pkg-list to include the udebs created (otherwise d-i will not be able to find them online):
```shell
cat <<EOF > pkg-lists/local
ext4-modules-\${kernel:Version}
fat-modules-\${kernel:Version}
btrfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
md-modules-\${kernel:Version}
efi-modules-\${kernel:Version}
scsi-modules-\${kernel:Version}
jfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
xfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
ata-modules-\${kernel:Version}
sata-modules-\${kernel:Version}
usb-storage-modules-\${kernel:Version}
EOF
```
Set up the local repo, so the installer can locate your udebs (from localudebs):
```shell
cat <<EOF > sources.list.udeb
deb [trusted=yes] copy:/PATH/TO/your/installer/d-i/debian-installer-20150422/build/ localudebs/
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main/debian-installer
EOF
```
Default preseed to skip known errors (as the kernel provided by local udebs):
```
cat <<EOF > default-preseed
# Continue install on "no kernel modules were found for this kernel"
d-i anna/no_kernel_modules boolean true
# Continue install on "no installable kernels found"
d-i base-installer/kernel/skip-install boolean true
d-i base-installer/kernel/no-kernels-found boolean true
d-i preseed/late_command string in-target wget <your linux-image.deb>; dpkg -i linux-image-*.deb
EOF
```
Now just build the installer:
```shell
fakeroot make build_netboot
```
You should now find your custom debian-installer at `dest/netboot/netboot.tar.gz`.

## Installing Fedora 23
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official Fedora 23 Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/F23/Installation](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/F23/Installation)
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required Fedora 23 installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Downloading required Grub 2 UEFI files:
**Note:** Because of bug [1251600](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251600), we need to use both `BOOTAA64.EFI` and `grubaa64.efi` from the Fedora 22 release.
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/22/Server/aarch64/os/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/22/Server/aarch64/os/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
```
Downloading upstream Kernel and Initrd
```shell
mkdir /srv/tftp/f23
cd /srv/tftp/f23
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
```
Creating the Grub 2 config file (`grub.cfg`):
```shell
menuentry 'Install Fedora 23 ARM 64-bit' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/f23/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/os/
initrd (tftp)/f23/initrd.img
}
```
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── BOOTAA64.EFI
├── f23
│   ├── initrd.img
│   └── vmlinuz
├── grubaa64.efi
└── grub.cfg
```
Now just make sure that @/etc/dnsmasq.conf@ is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
```
### Booting the installer
Now boot your platform of choice, selecting PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available).
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell

cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
```
Test ssh setup, as hduser:
```shell
ssh localhost
```
# Disabling IPv6
```shell
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
```
Add the below lines to the end and save:
```shell
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
```
Prefer IPv4 on Hadoop:
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/hadoop-env.sh
```
Uncomment line:
```shell
# export HADOOP_OPTS=-Djava.net.preferIPV4stack=true
```
Run sysctl to apply the changes:
```shell
sudo sysctl -p
```
# Configuring the app environment
Configure the app environment by following steps:
```shell
sudo mkdir -p /app/hadoop/tmp
sudo chown hduser:hadoop /app/hadoop/tmp
sudo chmod 750 /app/hadoop/tmp
sudo chown hduser:hadoop /usr/lib/hadoop
sudo chmod 750 /usr/lib/hadoop
```
# Setting up Environment Variables
Follow the below steps to setup Environment Variables in bash file :
```shell
sudo su - hduser
nano .bashrc
```
Add the following to the end and save:
```shell
export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop
export HADOOP_PREFIX=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=$HADOOP_PREFIX/lib/native"
export HADOOP_LIBEXEC_DIR=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop
export HADOOP_COMMON_LIB_NATIVE_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/lib/native
export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce
export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-hdfs
export YARN_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-yarn
export HADOOP_YARN_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-yarn/
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-common-2.6.0.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HADOOP_HOME/client/hadoop-hdfs-2.6.0.jar
export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:bin/java::")
export PATH=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec:/etc/hadoop/conf:$HADOOP_HOME/bin/:$PATH
```
Execute the terminal environment again (`bash`), or simply logout and change to `hduser` again.
# Modifying config files
## core-site.xml
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml
```
And add/modify the following settings:
Look for property with <name> fs.defaultFS</name> and modify as below:
```shell
<property>
<name>fs.default.name</name>
<value>hdfs://localhost:54310</value>
<description>The name of the default file system. A URI whose
scheme and authority determine the FileSystem implementation. The
uri's scheme determines the config property (fs.SCHEME.impl) naming
the FileSystem implementation class. The uri's authority is used to
determine the host, port, etc. for a filesystem.</description>
</property>
```
Add this to the bottom before \</configuration> tag:
```shell
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/app/hadoop/tmp</value>
<description>A base for other temporary directories.</description>
</property>
```
## mapred-site.xml
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/mapred-site.xml
```
Modify existing properties as follows:
Look for property tag with <name> as mapred.job.tracker and modify as below:
```shell
<property>
<name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
<value>localhost:54311</value>
<description>The host and port that the MapReduce job tracker runs
at. If "local", then jobs are run in-process as a single map
and reduce task.
</description>
</property>
```
## hdfs-site.xml:
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/hdfs-site.xml
```
Modify existing property as below :
```shell
<property>
<name>dfs.replication</name>
<value>1</value>
<description>Default block replication.
The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created.
The default is used if replication is not specified in create time.
</description>
</property>
```
# Format Namenode
This step is needed for the first time. Doing it every time will result in loss of content on HDFS.
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hdfs-namenode init
```
# Start the YARN daemons
```shell
for i in hadoop-hdfs-namenode hadoop-hdfs-datanode ; do sudo service $i start ; done
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager start
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager start
```
# Validating Hadoop
Check if hadoop is running. jps command should list namenode, datanode, yarn resource manager. or use ps aux
```shell
sudo jps
```
or
```shell
ps aux | grep java
```
Alternatively, check if yarn managers are running:
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager status
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager status
```
You would see like below:
```shell
● hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.service - LSB: Hadoop nodemanager

## Run teragen, terasort and teravalidate ##
```shell
hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar teragen 1000000 terainput
hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar terasort terainput teraoutput
hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar teravalidate -D mapred.reduce.tasks=8 teraoutput teravalidate
```
## Stop the Hadoop services ##
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager stop
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager stop
for i in hadoop-hdfs-namenode hadoop-hdfs-datanode ; do sudo service $i stop; done
```
## Potential Errors / Issues and Resolutions ##
* If Teragen, TeraSort and TeraValidate error out with 'permission denied' exception. The following steps can be done:
```shell
sudo groupadd supergroup
sudo usermod -g supergroup hduser
```
* If for some weird reason, if you notice the config files (core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, etc) are empty.
```shell
You may have delete all the packages and re-run the steps of installation from scratch.
```
* Error while formatting namenode
With the following command:
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hdfs-namenode init
If you see the following error:
WARN net.DNS: Unable to determine local hostname -falling back to "localhost"
java.net.UnknownHostException: centos: centos
at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(InetAddress.java:1496)
at org.apache.hadoop.net.DNS.resolveLocalHostname(DNS.java:264)
at org.apache.hadoop.net.DNS.<clinit>(DNS.java:57)
Something is wrong in the network setup. Please check /etc/hosts file.
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hosts
```
The hosts file should like below:
```shell
127.0.0.1 <hostname> localhost localhost.localdomain #hostname should have the output of $ hostname
::1 localhost
```
Also try the following steps:
```shell
sudo rm -Rf /app/hadoop/tmp
hadoop namenode -format
```

This post concentrates on installing ODPi components built using Apache BigTop. These steps configure and run the components on a single node.
# Prerequisites:
* Java 7 (e.g. openjdk-7-jre)
# Repo:
ODPi deb and rpm packages can be found on Linaro repositories:
* Debian Jessie - http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/
* CentOS 7 - http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/
# Installation :
### On Debian:
Add to repo source list (**not required if you are using the installer from the Reference Platform**):
```shell
echo "deb http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-overlay-repo.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E13D88F7E3C1D56C
```
Update the source list and install the dependencies:
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssh-server rsync openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk
sudo apt-get build-dep build-essential
```
Install Hadoop packages:
```shell
sudo apt-get install -ft jessie bigtop-tomcat bigtop-utils hadoop* spark* hue* zookeeper* hive* hbase* oozie* pig* mahout*
```
### On CentOS:
```shell
sudo wget http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/linaro-overlay.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/linaro-overlay.repo
sudo yum update
sudo yum -y install openssh-server openssh-clients java-1.7.0-openjdk*
sudo yum install -y bigtop-tomcat bigtop-utils hadoop* spark* hue* zookeeper* hive* hbase* oozie* pig* mahout*
```
### Verifying Installation
Packages would get installed in /usr/lib
Type hadoop to check if hadoop is installed:
```shell
hadoop
```
And you should see the following:
```shell
linaro@debian:~$ hadoop
Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] COMMAND
where COMMAND is one of:
fs run a generic filesystem user client
version print the version
jar <jar> run a jar file
checknative [-a|-h] check native hadoop and compression libraries availability
distcp <srcurl> <desturl> copy file or directories recursively
archive -archiveName NAME -p <parent path> <src>* <dest> create a hadoop archive
classpath prints the class path needed to get the
credential interact with credential providers
Hadoop jar and the required libraries
daemonlog get/set the log level for each daemon
trace view and modify Hadoop tracing settings
or
CLASSNAME run the class named CLASSNAME
```
Most commands print help when invoked w/o parameters.

# OpenStack Liberty - Debian Jessie
# Introduction
In general, the instructions in the Liberty install guide should be followed: http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/install-guide-ubuntu/overview.html. This guide will describe changes to the documented procedures that should be kept in mind while going through the guide.
Each section below will correspond to a section in the guide. Guide sections that do not have a corresponding section below may be followed as-is.
# Release Notes
## Configuring images for aarch64
An image must be configured specially in glance to be able to boot correctly on aarch64.
To attach the devices to the virtio bus (which does not allow hotplugging a volume, but will work if the image does not have SCSI support), the following properties must be set:
```shell
--property hw_machine_type=virt
--property os_command_line='root=/dev/vda rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0'
--property hw_cdrom_bus=virtio
```
To attach the devices to the SCSI bus (which does allow hotplugging a volume, but might not be supported by the guest image), the following properties must be set:
```shell
--property hw_scsi_model='virtio-scsi'
--property hw_disk_bus='scsi'
--property os_command_line='root=/dev/sda rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0'
```
You can set these properties when you are uploading the image into glance, or modify the image if you have already uploaded it.
# Pre-Installation
## Verify/enable additional repositories
Verify that the `linaro-overlay` and `jessie-backports` repositories are enabled.
Check if they are available by checking `/etc/apt/sources.list` and `/etc/apt/sources.list.d`.
If missing, add the following to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d` directory:
```shell
$ echo "deb http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-overlay-repo.list
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E13D88F7E3C1D56C
```
If missing, add the following to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d` directory:
```shell
$ echo "deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list
```
## Modify repository priorities
Create `/etc/apt/preferences.d/jessie-backports`:
```shell
Package: *
Pin: release a=jessie-backports
Pin-Priority: 500
```
Then, make sure to run apt-get update:
```shell
$ sudo apt-get update
```
## Environment
Update `/etc/hosts` to add “controller” as an alias for localhost.
```shell
127.0.0.1 localhost controller
```
## Disable IPV6
Add the following to `/etc/sysctl.conf`:
```shell
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1
```
Run sysctl to apply the changes:
```shell
$ sudo sysctl -p
```
# Following the Openstack guide...
OpenStack guide: http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/install-guide-ubuntu/overview.html
## Environment

## UEFI/EDK2
EDK2 is a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform firmware development environment for the UEFI and PI specifications.
The reference UEFI/EDK2 tree used by the EE-RPB comes directly from [upstream](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2), based on a specific commit that gets validated and published as part of the Linaro EDK2 effort (which is available at [https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git](https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git)).
Since there is no hardware specific support as part of EDK2 upstream, an external module called [OpenPlatformPkg](https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git) is also required as part of the build process.
EDK2 is currently used by 96boards LeMaker Cello, AMD Overdrive, ARM Juno r0/r1/r2, HiSilicon D02 and HiSilicon D03.
This guide provides enough information on how to build UEFI/EDK2 from scratch, but meant to be a quick guide. For further information please also check the official Linaro UEFI documentation, available at [https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/UEFI](https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/UEFI) and [https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/UEFI/build](https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/UEFI/build)
### Building
#### Pre-Requisites
Make sure the build dependencies are available at your host machine.
On Debian/Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt-get install uuid-dev build-essential aisle
```
On RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
```shell
sudo yum install uuid-devel libuuid-devel aisle
```
Also make sure you have the right 'acpica-unix' version at your host system. The current one required by the 16.03/16.06 releases is 20150930, and you can find the packages (debian) at the 'linaro-overlay':
```shell
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/acpica-tools_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_amd64.deb
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/acpidump_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_all.deb
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/iasl_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb
```
If cross compiling, you also need to separately add the required toolchains. Ubuntu has a prebuilt arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain, but not an aarch64-linux-gnu one.
Download Linaro's GCC 4.9 cross-toolchain for Aarch64, and make it available in your 'PATH'. You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 4.9-2015.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.02-3-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.02-3-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz)
```shell
mkdir arm-tc arm64-tc
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm-tc -xf gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-*_linux.tar.xz
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm64-tc -xf gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-*_linux.tar.xz
export PATH="${PWD}/arm-tc/bin:${PWD}/arm64-tc/bin:$PATH"
```
#### Getting the source code
UEFI/EDK2:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git
git clone https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git
cd edk2
git checkout -b stable-baseline 469e1e1e4203b5d369fdce790883cb0aa035a744 # revision provided by https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git
ln -s ../OpenPlatformPkg
```
ARM Trusted Firmware (in case it is supported by your target hardware, only used by Juno at this point):
```shell
git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware.git
cd arm-trusted-firmware
git checkout -b stable-baseline v1.2 # suggested latest stable release
```
UEFI Tools (helpers and scripts to make the build process easy):
```shell
git clone git://git.linaro.org/uefi/uefi-tools.git
```
#### Building UEFI/EDK2 for Juno R0/R1
```shell
export AARCH64_TOOLCHAIN=GCC49
export LINARO_EDK2_DIR=${PWD}/edk2
export UEFI_TOOLS_DIR=${PWD}/uefi-tools
export ARMTF_DIR=${PWD}/arm-trusted-firmware
cd ${LINARO_EDK2_DIR}
${UEFI_TOOLS_DIR}/uefi-build.sh -b DEBUG -a $ARMTF_DIR juno
```
The output files:
- `Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin`
- `Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/fip.bin`

### Flashing
#### Juno R0/R1
##### Clean flash
Power on the board, and (if prompted) press Enter to stop auto boot. Once in Juno's boot monitor, use the following commands to erase Juno's flash and export it as an external storage:
```shell
Cmd> flash
Flash> eraseall
Flash> quit
Cmd> usb_on
```
This will delete any binaries and UEFI settings currently stored in the Juno's flash, then mount the Juno's MMC card as an external storage device on your host PC.
In order to do a clean flash on Juno, you will also need to flash the firmware provided by ARM, which can be downloaded from the Linaro ARM LT Versatile Express Firmware git tree:
```shell
git clone -b juno-0.11.6-linaro1 --depth 1 https://git.linaro.org/arm/vexpress-firmware.git
```
Then copy over the UEFI/EDK2 files that were built in the previous steps, making sure they get copied to the right firmware folder location:
```shell
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin vexpress-firmware/SOFTWARE
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/fip.bin vexpress-firmware/SOFTWARE
```
Now just copy all the files that are now available in the 'vexpress-firmware' folder into the mounted MMC card (which is provided as an external storage after calling 'usb_on'):
```shell
cp -rf vexpress-firmware/* /media/recovery
```
Be sure to issue a sync command on your host PC afterwards, which will guarantee that the copy has completed:
```shell
sync
```
Finally, power cycle the Juno. After it has finished copying the contents of the MMC card into Flash, the board will boot up and run the new firmware.
##### Upgrading UEFI/EDK2
If you already have a known working firmware available in your Juno, you simply need to update 'bl1.bin' and 'fip.bin', by mounting Juno's MMC over usb (as described in the procedure for clean flash).
Export Juno's MMC as a usb storage device on your host machine:
```shell
Cmd> usb_on
```
Then just copy over the UEFI/EDK2 files that were built in the previous steps:
```shell
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin /media/recovery/SOFTWARE
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/fip.bin /media/recovery/SOFTWARE
```
Be sure to issue a sync command on your host PC afterwards, which will guarantee that the copy has completed:
```shell
sync
```
Then just power cycle the Juno and the board should see and use the new firmware.
#### D02
Flashing D02 requires the board to have a working ethernet connection to the FTP server hosting the firmware (since the recovery UEFI image provides an update path via FTP fetch + flash). Flashing also requires entering the Embedded Boot Loader (EBL). This can be reached by typing 'exit' on the UEFI shell that will bring you to a bios-like menu. Goto 'Boot Manager' to find EBL.
##### Clean flash
First make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('PV660D02.fd'):
```shell
cp PV660D02.fd /srv/tftp/
```
Now follow the steps below in order to fetch and flash the new firmware:
1. Power off the board and unplug the power supply.
2. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **off** (check [http://open-estuary.com/d02-2/](http://open-estuary.com/d02-2/) for the board picture)
- The board has two SPI flash chips, and this switch selects which one to boot from.
3. Power on the device, stop the boot from the serial console, and get into the the 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)' shell
4. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **on**
- **NOTE:** make sure to run the step above before running 'biosupdate' (as it modifies the flash), or else the backup BIOS will also be modified and there will be no way to unbrick the board (unless sending it back to Huawei).
5. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master' like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f PV660D02.fd master'
6. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
##### Upgrading firmware
There are 2 options for updating the firmware, first via network and the second via USB storage.
Network upgrade:
1. Make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('PV660D02.fd')
2. Stop UEFI boot, select 'Boot Manager' then 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)'
3. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master', like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f PV660D02.fd master'
4. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
USB storage upgrade:
- Copy the '.fd' file to a FAT32 partition on USB (UEFI can only recognize FAT32 file system), then run the following command (from **EBL**):
'newbios fs1:\<file path to .fd file>'
On EBL fs1 is for USB first partition, while fs0 the ramdisk.
#### D03
Flashing D03 requires the board to have a working ethernet connection to the FTP server hosting the firmware (since the recovery UEFI image provides an update path via FTP fetch + flash). Flashing also requires entering the Embedded Boot Loader (EBL). This can be reached by typing 'exit' on the UEFI shell that will bring you to a bios-like menu. Goto 'Boot Manager' to find EBL.
##### Clean flash
To do a clean flash you will require access to the board's BMC.
1. Make sure the board's BMC port is connected, and with a known IP address.
2. Login the BMC website, The username/passwd is root/Huawei12#$. Go to "System", "Firmware Upgrade", and "Browse" to select the UEFI file in hpm format. (Please contact support@open-estuary.org to get the hpm file).
3. Pull out the power cable to power off the board. Find the pin named "COM_SW" at J44. Then connect it with jump cap.
4. Power on the board and connect to the board's serial port. When the screen display message "You are trying to access a restricted zone. Only Authorized Users allowed.", type "Enter", input username/passwd (username/passwd is root/Huawei12#$).
5. After you login the BMC interface which start with "iBMC:/->", use command "ifconfig" to see the modified BMC IP. When you get the board's BMC IP, please visit the BMC website by "https://BMC IP ADDRESS/".
6. Go to "Start Update" (Do not power off during this period).
7. After updating the UEFI firmware, reboot the board to enter UEFI menu.
##### Upgrading firmware
There are 2 options for updating the firmware, first via network and the second via USB storage.
Network upgrade:
1. Make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('D03.fd')
2. Stop UEFI boot, select 'Boot Manager' then 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)'
3. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master', like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f D03.fd master'
4. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
USB storage upgrade:
- Copy the '.fd' file to a FAT32 partition on USB (UEFI can only recognize FAT32 file system), then run the following command (from **EBL**):
'newbios fs1:\<file path to .fd file>'
On EBL fs1 is for USB first partition, while fs0 the ramdisk.
#### AMD Overdrive / HuskyBoard / Cello
##### Clean flash
###### DediProg SF100
Use [DediProg SF100](http://www.dediprog.com/pd/spi-flash-solution/sf100) to flash the firmware via SPI, by plugging the programming unit into the Overdrive/Husky/Cello board 2x4 pin header (labeled SCP SPI J5 on Overdrive).
The Dediprog flashing tool is also available for Linux, please check for [https://github.com/DediProgSW/SF100Linux](https://github.com/DediProgSW/SF100Linux) for build and use instructions.
First unplug the power cord before flashing the new firmware, then erase the SPI flash memory:
```shell
dpcmd --type MX25L12835F -e
```
Now just flash the new firmware:
```shell
dpcmd --type MX25L12835F -p FIRMWARE.rom
```
Then just power cycle the board, and it should boot with the new firmware.
###### SPI Hook
Use [SPI Hook](http://www.tincantools.com/SPI_Hook.html) and _flashrom_ to flash the firmware via SPI, by plugging the programming unit into the Overdrive/Husky/Cello board 2x4 pin header (labeled SCP SPI J5 on Overdrive).
In order to use SPI Hook, make sure _flashrom_ is recent enough. This utility is used to identify, read, write, verify and erase flash chips. You can find the _flashrom_ package in most Linux distributions, but make sure the version at least v.0.9.8. If older, please just build latest from source, by going to [flashrom Downloads](https://www.flashrom.org/Downloads)
Depending on the size of the firmware image, flashrom might not be able to flash as it will complain that the size of the image is not a perfect match for the size of the SPI (partial flash only supported via the use of layouts). One easy way is just appending 0s at the end of the file, until it got the right size.
Example for the 4.5M based firmware:
```shell
dd if=/dev/zero of=FIRMWARE.ROM ibs=512K count=23 obs=1M oflag=append conv=notrunc
```
Connect the SPI cable, unplug the power cord and flash SPI:
```shell
sudo flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=2232h,port=A,divisor=2 -c "MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E" -w FIRMWARE.rom
```
Then just power cycle the board, and it should boot with the new firmware.
##### Upgrading firmware
There is currently no easy way to update just the UEFI/EDK2 firmware, so please follow the clean flash process instead.

### D02
***
### Boot Firmware
The [UEFI/EDK2 guide for EE](../../EECommon/UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md) provides information about building and flashing the boot firmware for D02.
### Reference Platform Kernel
The Reference Platform kernel used by the enterprise release can be found on [github.com/96boards/linux](https://github.com/96boards/linux/tree/96b/releases/2016.06)
Since we use the same kernel config with all our builds and distributions, it is also available as part of the same kernel tree, and can be found at [arch/arm64/configs/distro.config](https://github.com/96boards/linux/blob/96b/releases/2016.06/arch/arm64/configs/distro.config).
At the time of the 16.06 release, the kernel is based on *4.4.11*.
### Quick Start
#### D02 - QuickStart
UEFI/EDK2 is supported by D02 (with build from source instructions available as part of the [UEFI EDK2 Guide](../../EECommon/UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md#building), and since ACPI support is new, please make sure you are using the latest firmware available at [https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/uefi/16.06/release/d02/](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/uefi/16.06/release/d02/) before proceeding with kernel testing or installing your favorite distribution (and please make sure to report your firmware version when reporting issues and bugs).
**NOTE:** 16.06 kernel **requires** the 16.06 UEFI/EDK2 firmware release!
##### Flashing the firmware
Follow the instructions available as part of the [UEFI EDK2 Guide](../../EECommon/UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md#d02) in order to flash your D02. The tested flashing process only requires access to a TFTP server, since the firmware supports fetching the firmware from the network.
### Network Installers
In order to install a distribution from network, PXE (DCHP/TFTP) booting is required. Since we require UEFI for the Enterprise Edition, the setup is usually easier since all you need is to load GRUB 2 (and its configuration). Check [this link](../../EECommon/DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to quickly setup your own PXE server (using *dnsmasq*).
Install instructions for the tested/supported distributions:
* [Debian 8.x 'Jessie'](../../EECommon/Install-Debian-Jessie.md)
* [CentOS 7](../../EECommon/Install-CentOS-7.md)
#### Other distributions
Only Debian and CentOS are officially released and validated as part of the reference software platform project, but other distributions can be easily supported as well (just need kernel and installer changes).
Extra resources for other distributions:
* [Fedora 23](../../EECommon/Install-Fedora-23.md)
### Enterprise Software Components
#### OpenStack
Follow the [instructions](../../EECommon/OpenStack-Liberty.md) on how to install and run OpenStack Liberty on Debian Jessie.
#### Hadoop (ODPi BigTop)
##### Installation
Follow the [instructions](../../EECommon/ODPi-Hadoop-Installation.md) to install ODPi BigTop Hadoop

## Known Issues
### CentOS:
- Using Docker with XFS and Overlay Storage Driver:
- Note that XFS file systems must be created with the -n ftype=1 option enabled for use as an overlay. With the rootfs and any file systems created during system installation, set the --mkfsoptions=-n ftype=1 parameters in the Anaconda kickstart. When creating a new file system after the installation, run the # mkfs -t xfs -n ftype=1 /PATH/TO/DEVICE command. To determine whether an existing file system is eligible for use as an overlay, run the # xfs_info /PATH/TO/DEVICE | grep ftype command to see if the ftype=1 option is enabled.

# IoT Reference Platform
The IoT reference platforms goal is to provide an end to end open source secure pipeline from gateway devices to endpoints. For the deeply embedded use cases, a Zephyr RTOS baseline is provided to enable a series of hardware platforms, which ships with a rich developer SDK. The gateway is a variant of the Consumer reference platform based on Debian, leveraging the latest in cloud and container technology. Secure updates are not a mere afterthought, instead this software stack has been designed with security and maintainability in mind from day one.
**Features:**
- Zephyr RTOS with SDK for endpoints
- Open Boot Firmware for endpoints
- Debian builds for gateways
- Secure update pipeline for all devices
