How to bind ti sitara sdk to your Qt Eommercial Edition -转自 大为的杂谈

---------------------------------------

prothes：在 大为的杂谈 上看到这个文章，刚好我在研究TI的A8，故而转来以备观瞻。。。

感谢 大卫。。。。

---------------------------------------

 

 

TI have provide the Industry Leading Coretex A8 product family, called Sitara.

And TI have provide a SDK for customer to develop application based on Sitara family.
The SDK includes:
1. Qt 4.6.2 SDK (Evaluation Edition, each package have a suffix E, libQtGuiE.so, libQtCoreE.so)
2. Code Composer Studio
3. A lot of demos, include the nice launch matrix_gui.
4. Platform support packages.

And CodeSourcery toolchain is a must to install the sdk.



But, maybe you are planing to develop a product with you own license but nor GPL3 neither LGPL.

And, maybe you've already have a customised or commercial edition toolchain.

Does it worth to take the risk to use Evaluation Edition Qt?
Does it worth to take an hour to download CodeSourcery toolchain and use it? (Code generated with my own toolchain runs 15% faster than with CodeSourcery one.)


By here, I think you are just think about to Integrate TI SDK with your own toolchain and you Qt Commercial license.

Here I'll show you how to do it.  Note that all armv7a-isunriver-linux- below should be replaced with your toolchain's prefix.


Prerequisites:
     1. Optimized GCC toolchain.   What I customized have a prefix armv7a-isunriver-linux-.
     2. TI ti-sdk-am37x-evm-4.0.1.0 for AM3715 or the proper one for your hardware.
     3. Ubuntu desktop edition ver 10.04
     4. DBus source code pack.  My choice is dbus-1.4.6.
     5. expat source code pack. My choice is expat-2.0.1
     6. zlib source code pack.  My choice is zlib-1.2.5
     7. tslib http://prdownload.berlios.de/tslib/tslib-1.0.tar.bz2

A. Basic preparement:
     1.  Ubuntu 10.04 installation.  Download the cd image from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download.
    Burn it to a cdrom, the boot the computer that you want to install ti sdk with this cd and install follow the wizard.
    
     2. Install development support packages for ubuntu.
    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses-dev flex bison autoconf automake libmpfr-dev texinfo nfs-kernel-server tftpd-hpa libcloog-ppl

        If you are runing a ubuntu X86_64 edition, you should also install ia32-libs libc6-dev-i386. Otherwise ti-sdk-am37x-evem-4.0.1.0 want work.

     3. Install your toolchain according to the guide. Set the environment variable PATH to include your toolchain. Create a link or fake named arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc to make ti-sdk happy.
    <in your toolchain bin dir>$ ln -s armv7a-isunriver-linux-gcc arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc.

     4. Install ti-sdk. When it ask you where the CodeSourcery located, please show the sdk the path of the fake arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc.

 
B. Create the basic target filesystem and prepare NFS server:
     There is a base-rootfs-am37x-evm.tar.gz  within a subpath ti-sdk-am37x-evm-4.0.1.0/filesystem to ti-sdk installation location.
     Extract it to a folder suchas /opt/arma8fs. Then export this path as a nfs location.

    $ sudo echo "/opt/arma8fs  *(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,no_subtree_check)" >> /etc/exports
    $ sudo exportfs -a
    $ sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart

C. Build the kernel under ti-sdk-am37x-evm-4.0.1.0/psp/linux-2.6.32-psp03.00.01.06.sdk, and prepare TFTP server
    $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-isunriver-linux- omap3_evm_defconfig
    $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-isunriver-linux- uImage modules
    $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-isunriver-linux- modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/opt/arma8fs
    $ cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /var/lib/tftpboot

D. start your target to have a test of your NFS and TFTP server to see if the basic filesystem is ready.

E. Commercial Qt Integration.
   1.  zlib-1.2.5. TI have already provide a zlib within the baisc filesystem. But for some performance reason I decide to upgrade it.
        $ rm /opt/arma8fs/usr/lib/libz*
        $ CC=armv7a-isunriver-linux-gcc --prefix=/usr
        $ make && make install DESTDIR=/opt/qtsdkdir/misc

   2.  expat.  The example matrix need QtDBus. To build QtDBus, you have to build DBus. To build dbus, expat is a necessary.
        $ PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS=yes PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/opt/qtsdkdir/misc PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/qtsdkdir/misc/usr/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --host=armv7a-isunriver-linux --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-static --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
        $ make && make install DESTDIR=/opt/qtsdk_dir

   3.  DBus.  It's a must for new matrix demo.
        $ ac_cv_lib_expat_XML_ParserCreate_MM=yes PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS=yes PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/opt/qtsdkdir/misc PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/qtsdkdir/misc/usr/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --host=armv7a-isunriver-linux --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-static --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-xml=expat --with-x=no
       It is very important to provide a --with-x=no as we don't need and have no x backend. Otherwise DBus will show you error like below even the dbus guy said it should works.
        error: ... ... ... dbus FD_ZERO impossible constraint in 'asm'

        $ make && make install DESTDIR=/opt/qtsdkdir/misc
       If you met error the file format of /usr/lib/libexpat.so not recognized, don't worry that's just because the configure script of DBUS is not 100% ready for cross compile. Please modify file bus/Makefile to make DBUS_BUS_LIBS and DBUS_LAUNCHER_LIBS look like:
                DBUS_BUS_LIBS = /home/user/tslib_sdk/usr/lib/libexpat.so -lpthread -lrt
                DBUS_LAUNCHER_LIBS = /home/user/tslib_sdk/usr/lib/libexpat.so -lpthread -lrt
      
       Even as we've disable the x before, DBus is still trying to compile tools/dbus-launch-x11.c. Just pushd "#undef DBUS_BUILD_X11" at the begining of the tools/dbus-launch-x11.c to ask it to shut up.
       Make it again, it should be ok now.

   4. tslib. TI have provide one but you will have to take some time to have it easy to be used when you try to configure Qt. I'd rather to replace it than to waste to make trick.
       $ rm /opt/arma8fs/usr/lib/libts*
       $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --host=arm-linux-gnu.
       $ make  && make install DESTDIR=/opt/qtsdkdir/misc

      Edit the file config.h and comment the line "#define malloc rpl_malloc" to avoid this option:"#define malloc rpl_malloc" -> "//#define malloc rpl_malloc". * AC_FUNC_MALLOC in configure.ac seems to cause malloc to be defined to rpl_malloc, which is never implemented and therefore cause a link error.Removing this line from AC_FUNC_MALLOC is a workaround i got after browsing net.

        $ echo "export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0" >> /opt/arma8fs/etc/profile
        $ echo "export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf" >> /opt/arma8fs/etc/profile


   5. TI's Graphics SDK.
    Modify the Rules.make. Make it looks like below

        #Rules.make

        ############### All the fields below are mandatory ############################

    6. Qt 4.7.1

          $ pushd mkspecs/qws
          $ cp -av linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ linux-TIarmv7-g++

       Now run make and tell the computer the SN that you've received from Nokia. When the make procedure started, go have some tea, coffee or just go shopping for about 1~2 hours.

       Very import to have -D QT_NO_QWS_CURSOR. Otherwise QT egl won't work.

     7. Final Integration
       $ cp -av /opt/qtsdkdir/misc/* /opt/arma8fs/
       $ cp -av /opt/qtsdkdir/Qt4.7.1-arm/* /opt/arma8fs/
       $ echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/opt/qtsdkdir/Qt4.7.1-arm/lib'" >> /opt/arma8fs/etc/profile
       $ echo "export QWS_DISPLAY='powervr'" >> /opt/arma8fs/etc/profile
       $ echo "export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO='Tslib:/dev/input/touchscreen0'" >> /opt/arma8fs/etc/profile

F. Replace the c library of the target filsystem to have 15% more performance.
       $ cp /opt/armv7a-isunriver-linux/target/* /opt/arma8fs

G. Build matrix and other demos with you new Commercial Qt sdk.
      Modify the Makefile.build of matrix_gui and make the target qmake looks as below.
           qmake : matrix_gui.pro
                   @. ${ENV_SETUP}; /
                   #qmake2 CONFIG+=debug_and_release QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_DEBUG+=-D${PLATFORM_DEFI ...  matrix_gui.pro
                /opt/qtsdkdir/Qt4.7.1-arm/bin/qmake -spec qws/linux-TIarmv7-g++ matrix_gui.pro

Now the Qt Commercial should work with TI SDK.
