|
+This file documents the Buildroot support for the Freescale i.MX31 PDK in "3
|
|
|
|
+stack" configuration.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The i.MX31 Product Development Kit (or PDK) is Freescale development board [1]
|
|
|
|
+based on the i.MX31 application processor [2].
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+For more details on the i.MX31 PDK board, refer to the User's Guide [3].
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Build
|
|
|
|
+=====
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+First, configure Buildroot for your i.MX31 PDK board:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ make freescale_imx31_3stack_defconfig
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Build all components:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ make
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+You will find in ./output/images/ the following files:
|
|
|
|
+ - rootfs.cpio
|
|
|
|
+ - rootfs.cpio.gz
|
|
|
|
+ - rootfs.tar
|
|
|
|
+ - zImage
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The generated zImage does include the rootfs.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Boot the PDK board
|
|
|
|
+==================
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The i.MX31 PDK contains a RedBoot bootloader in flash, which can be used to
|
|
|
|
+boot the newly created Buildroot images from the network.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+This necessitates to setup a TFTP server first. This setup is explained for
|
|
|
|
+example in Freescale i.MX31 PDK 1.5 Linux User's Guide [4].
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Here is a sample RedBoot configuration, for proper network boot of Buildroot on
|
|
|
|
+the i.MX31 PDK:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ RedBoot> fconfig -l
|
|
|
|
+ Run script at boot: true
|
|
|
|
+ Boot script:
|
|
|
|
+ .. load -r -b 0x100000 zImage
|
|
|
|
+ .. exec -c "console=ttymxc0,115200"
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 2
|
|
|
|
+ Use BOOTP for network configuration: false
|
|
|
|
+ Gateway IP address: <your gateway IP address>
|
|
|
|
+ Local IP address: <your PDK IP address>
|
|
|
|
+ Local IP address mask: 255.255.255.0
|
|
|
|
+ Default server IP address: <your TFTP server IP address>
|
|
|
|
+ Board specifics: 0
|
|
|
|
+ Console baud rate: 115200
|
|
|
|
+ Set eth0 network hardware address [MAC]: false
|
|
|
|
+ GDB connection port: 9000
|
|
|
|
+ Force console for special debug messages: false
|
|
|
|
+ Network debug at boot time: false
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Adapt those settings to your network configuration by replacing the appropriate
|
|
|
|
+network addresses where necessary.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+You might want to verify that your i.MX31 PDK switches settings are the correct
|
|
|
|
+ones for UART, power, boot mode, etc. Here is a reference switches
|
|
|
|
+configuration:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ SW4
|
|
|
|
+ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
|
|
|
|
+ ON off off off off off off ON
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ SW5 SW6 SW7 SW8 SW9 SW10
|
|
|
|
+ 0 1 0 0 0 0
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+See the i.MX31 PDK Linux Quick Start Guide [5] for more details on the switches
|
|
|
|
+settings.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Connect a serial terminal set to 115200n8 and power on the i.MX31 PDK board.
|
|
|
|
+Buildroot will present a login prompt on the serial port.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Enjoy!
