科研日志-编译内核for AT91SAM9260

 

Get and patch the Linux kernel

To get an experimental Linux4SAM kernel up and running on an AT91 product, you have to go through the following steps:

    1. identify on which linux kernel revision the experimental patches will apply 
    2. download the corresponding Linux kernel

wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.33.tar.bz2
tar xvjf linux-2.6.33.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.xx

    3. download the AT91 Maintainer's patch and apply it

wget http://maxim.org.za/AT91RM9200/2.6/2.6.33-at91.patch.gz
zcat 2.6.33-at91.patch.gz | patch -p1

   4.Compile kernel ( a prebuilt image is provided : linux-sam9260-cn.img)
	

	-wget http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/pub/Linux4SAM/LinuxKernel/at91sam926yek_defconfig

	- make ARCH=arm at91sam9260ek_defconfig
	- make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gcc
	- the cmdline is mem=64M console=ttyS0,115200 initrd=0x21100000,17000000 root=/dev/ram0 rw
	- this kernel includes following drivers :
		- USART (ttySx)
		- Ethernet
		- USB host (Mass storage)
		- USB device
		- I2C


  5.   Build a u-boot kernel image	
	- mkimage -A arm -O linux -C none -T kernel -a 20008000 -e 20008000 -n linux-2.6 -d arch/arm/boot/Image linux-2.6.15.4-sam9260ek.img
	

Command to generate an uncompressed uImage file 2 :
mkimage -A arm -O linux -C none -T kernel -a 20008000 -e 20008000 -n linux-2.6 -d arch/arm/boot/Image uImage

Commands to generate a compressed uImage file 2 :
mkimage -A arm -O linux -C none -T kernel -a 20008000 -e 20008000 -n linux-2.6 -d arch/arm/boot/zImage uImage
6.  booting the kernel with a tftp server 
	
	- copy kernel image (linux-2.6.15.4-sam9260ek.img) & ramdisk (armv5l-uclibc-sam9260.gz) on tftp server
	- Set u-boot environment variables
		U-Boot> setenv ethaddr the_device_mac_address (ex:12:34:56:78:99:aa)
		U-Boot> setenv serverip the_tftp_server_ip_address 
		U-Boot> setenv ipaddr  the_device_ip_address
		U-Boot> saveenv
	- Load kernel & ramdisk  
		U-Boot> tftp 21400000 linux-2.6.15.4-sam9260ek.img
		U-Boot> tftp 21100000 armv5l-uclibc-sam9260.gz 
	- Boot kernel
		U-Boot> bootm 21400000 
		(none) login: root
	 
   7. booting the kernel with a USB drive
	- copy kernel image(linux-sam9260-cn.img) & ramdisk (armv5l-uclibc-sam9260.gz) on an USB drive
	- Load kernel & ramdisk  
		U-Boot> usb start
		U-Boot> fatload usb 0:1 21400000 linux-2.6.15.4-sam9260ek.img
		U-Boot> fatload usb 0:1 21100000 armv5l-uclibc-sam9260.gz 
	- Boot kernel
		U-Boot> bootm 21400000 
		(none) login: root
   8.- Using Ethernet
	
	- After login enter the command :
			ifconfig eth0 board_ip_address
	- command available :
			telnet
			wget
			ftpput
			ftpget
			telnetd (daemon)
  9. Using USB Gadget
	- g_file_storage
		enter the command : insmod g_file_storage file=your_block_device stall=0 
		plug usb cable on a PC computer 
	
		for example you can use an USB driver;
		Plug an USB drive on EK board.
		Do not mount the device
		enter the command : insmod g_file_storage file=/dev/sda1 stall=0
		plug usb cable
