Starting with TI EZSDK C6A816x – Video Tutorial

This tutorial is useful for Hardware and Software engineers.

For HW engineers it demonstrates how to build Linux for a board and Software engineers will find here some useful commands for using TI EZSDK.

Before you start – install TI EZSDK as described in this post:

UBOOT: Add support for recognision of an unsupported Winbond SPI memory chip

General notes:

Always check/update IP address which is used in many commands of this tutorial. The address should be the same as IP address of your linux Machine with EZSDK installed on it. Check host IP address by command: ifconfig

Always check console number. Some boards use a different serial port for console output e.g ttyO0, ttyO2 (default for EZSDK), …

Always check file size after TFTP transfer. If needed, adjust the size which is used in many commands in case the image is being flashed into memory

File system

In case mkfs.jffs3 is not installed run:
sudo apt-get install mtd-utils

Note: Original EZSDK targetfs is quite large. I will use VOIPAC file system.

cd /home/vmplanet
wget http://voipac.com/downloads/imx/25/bin/rootfs-nfs-bb-1-17-vmx25-vmx25-vpac3.tar.gz
sudo tar xvf rootfs-nfs-bb-1-17-vmx25-vmx25-vpac3.tar.gz

sudo gedit rootfs-bb-1-17-final2/etc/inittab
change from:
::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttymxc0 115200 vt100
::respawn:/sbin/getty -L tty1 115200
to
#::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttymxc0 115200 vt100
::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyO2 115200 //use correct console number: for standard EZSDK board use: ttyO2
then Save and Close

Make the image
mkfs.jffs2 -lqn –e 128 -r rootfs-bb-1-17-final2/ -o /tftpboot/rd-jffs2.bin

Save and Close

Compile new Kernel
Follow the steps in: Kernel compilation

Run your board with the new kernel and use following commands to control GPIOs
