-VIA VAB-820/AMOS-820
|

|

-====================
|
|

|
|
|
|
-This file documents the Buildroot support for the VIA VAB-820 board and
|
|
|
|
-VIA AMOS-820 system, which are built around a Freescale i.MX6 Quad/Dual SoC.
|
|
|
|
-The kernel and u-boot is based on the official VIA BSP, which is in turn
|
|
|
|
-based on the Freescale Linux 3.10.17_1.0.0_ga BSP.

-Configuring and building Buildroot
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Start from the defconfig:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- $ make via_imx6_vab820_defconfig
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-You can edit build options the usual way:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- $ make menuconfig
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-When you are happy with the setup, run:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- $ make
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-The result of the build with the default settings should be these files:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- output/images
|
|
|
|
- ├── boot.vfat
|
|
|
|
- ├── imx6q-vab820.dtb
|
|
|
|
- ├── rootfs.ext2
|
|
|
|
- ├── rootfs.ext4 -> rootfs.ext2
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- ├── u-boot.imx
|
|
|
|
- └── uImage
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Copy the bootable `sdcard.img` onto an SD card with "dd":
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-where "sdX" is the appropriate partition of your card.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-For details about the medium image layout, see the definition in
|
|
|
|
-`board/via/imx6_vab820/genimage.cfg`.

|
-Setting up your SD card manually
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-*Important*: pay attention which partition you are modifying so you don't
|
|
|
|
-accidentally erase the wrong file system, e.g your host computer or your
|
|
|
|
-external storage!
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-In the default setup you need to create 2 partitions on your SD card:
|
|
|
|
-a boot partition and a root partition. In this guide and in the default u-boot
|
|
|
|
-settings the boot partition is vfat, while the root partition is ext4.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-You also need to leave space for u-boot at the beginning of the card, before
|
|
|
|
-all the partitions.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-For example, if your SD card is at /dev/sdX, using fdisk, and starting from
|
|
|
|
-an empty card, the steps are along these lines:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- # fdisk /dev/sdX
|
|
|
|
- n (new partition)
|
|
|
|
- p (primary partition)
|
|
|
|
- 1 (first partition)
|
|
|
|
- <return> (default first sector, should be at least 1MB from the beginning
|
|
|
|
- which is 2048 sectors if the sector size is 512KB)
|
|
|
|
- +50M (50MB size, as an example)
|
|
|
|
- t (switch partition type)
|
|
|
|
- b (select "W95 FAT32" type)
|
|
|
|
- n (the second partition)
|
|
|
|
- p (primary partition)
|
|
|
|
- 2 (second partition)
|
|
|
|
- <return> (default first sector)
|
|
|
|
- <return> (use all remaining space)
|
|
|
|
- p (print so the partition looks something like this below)
|
|
|
|
- Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
|
|
|
|
- /dev/sdX1 2048 104447 102400 50M b W95 FAT32
|
|
|
|
- /dev/sdX2 104448 15564799 15460352 7.4G 83 Linux
|
|
|
|
- w (save changes)
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-After this you need to format the newly created file system:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- # mkfs.vfat -L boot /dev/sdX1
|
|
|
|
- # mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs /dev/sdX2
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Now the system can be copied onto the card. First copy the u-boot onto
|
|
|
|
-the region of the card before the first partition (starting from the
|
|
|
|
-root directory of buildroot):
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- # dd if=output/images/u-boot.imx of=/dev/sdX bs=512 seek=2
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Mount the first partition /dev/sdX1, and copy the kernel and the
|
|
|
|
-compiled device tree:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- # cp output/images/uImage /mnt/<BOOT-PARTITION>
|
|
|
|
- # cp output/images/imx6q-vab820.dtb /mnt/<BOOT-PARTITION>
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Finally, copy the root file system onto the mounted (empty) /dev/sdX2
|
|
|
|
-rootfs partition:
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- # tar xf output/images/rootfs.tar -C /mnt/<ROOTFS-PARTITION>
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-Booting
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-To use the on-card u-boot, you need adjust jumper J11 located just next to
|
|
|
|
-the SD card slot on the VAB-820 board. The correct position for SD card
|
|
|
|
-boot is jumping the two pins towards the inside of the board.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-To modify the default boot parameters compiled into u-boot, you can create
|
|
|
|
-a boot script with the file name `boot.scr` and place it onto the boot
|
|
|
|
-partition (same directory as `uImage`).
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-If you want to have the login prompt on the serial debug line instead of
|
|
|
|
-the console, adjust the buildroot settings as:
|
|
|
|
-"System Configuration > getty options > TTY port > ttymxc1"
|
|
