= ArchLinuxARM on iMX233-OLinuXino =

This page explains the ways to install ArchLinuxARM (alarm for short) on iMX233-OLinuXino boards. Instructions should work on all 3 variants: maxi, mini and micro.

== The official image ==

The easiest way to install alarm: just follow the [http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/olinuxino official instructions]. The image is pre-partitioned and has everything in place. It uses bootlets, so any time the kernel cmdline or DT binary need to be changed the bootstream needs to be rebuilt and reflashed.

When upgrading the kernel or installing a custom kernel package it is essential that you hit "y" when asked "Do you want the new kernel flashed onto mmcblk0p1? [y|N]". If not, the bootstream containing the new kernel will not be used after a reboot, with its modules already uninstalled.

U-Boot makes the board much more hacker-friendly.

== U-Boot install ==

This will hopefully soon become the official installation method, but it requires a few advanced steps at this point.

=== Partition the SD card ===

Achieve the following partition layout using parted, fdisk, cfdisk or something else:
<nowiki>
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 2048 6143 2048 53 OnTrack DM6 Aux3
/dev/sdd2 6144 3842047 1917952 83 Linux</nowiki>

There are step by step instructions [http://www.eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/iMX233-OLinuXino#iMX233-OLinuXino-SetupmicroSDcard here]. The first partition is of the special 0x53 type, 2 MiB are enough. It will contain the bootloader and its environment.

The second is your rootfs partition. You may create additional ones if you like and edit /etc/fstab to your liking.

=== Install the bootloader ===

Download a prebuilt u-boot.sb file or follow the instructions [http://www.eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/iMX233-OLinuXino#iMX233-OLinuXino-Bootloader here] to build one.

Write it to the first partition at 2 kiB offset:
<nowiki>dd if=u-boot.sb of=/dev/sdcardpartition_1 bs=512 seek=4</nowiki>

TODO: Configuration of U-Boot, links to docs, uEnv.txt.

=== Install the root filesystem ===

Download the [http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-olinuxino-latest.img.gz rootfs tarball] from [http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ this listing on archlinuxarm.org] and extract it on the mounted rootfs partition. It is important to do the extraction root, not with sudo.

<nowiki>wget http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-olinuxino-latest.img.gz
sudo mount /dev/sdcardpartition_2 /mnt/rootfs
sudo su
tar -xzvpf ArchLinuxARM-olinuxino-latest.img.gz -C /mnt/rootfs
sync
umount /mnt/rootfs</nowiki>

==== Generate a custom filesystem ====

You can generate your own alarm root filesystem with the pacstrap tool. This can be done from within a running alarm installation, on an imx233-olinuxino, another more powerful board, or even from within qemu running alarm:
<nowiki># as root
pacman -S arch-install-scripts

# this creates the rootfs on a local disk, but the steps
# can be executed directly on a mounted sdcard partition
mkdir rootfs
pacstrap --help

# this will setup a new alarm root filesystem in ./rootfs and install the listed packages
# this is possibly the absolute minimum for a working system with network
pacstrap -cdGiM ./rootfs filesystem linux-olinuxino \
inetutils iputils nano vi netctl dialog openssh \
pacman ppp systemd-sysvcompat usbutils \
wireless_tools wpa_supplicant

# install a custom kernel
pacman -r ./rootfs -S linux-olinuxino-<TODO: upload, add link>-.tar.xz
</nowiki>

Beyond the bare minimum, you can install more packages to the newly created rootfs:
<nowiki>pacman -r ./rootfs -S bash-completion vim samba lighttpd git</nowiki>

== Software ==

To run a Linux system on these boards, 3 key components are required:

* boot code: either bootlets or a bootloader;
* kernel;
* root filesystem.

=== Kernels ===

There are two kernel flavours which work on all 3 iMX233 OLinuXino boards:

* 2.6 line. Support for all on-board hardware features, but lacks support for new kernel features and drivers. Build recipes: [https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm-extra/tree/master/recipes-kernel/linux Yocto BSP], [https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/core/kernel26-olinuxino ArchlinuxARM package].

=== Software Distributions ===

A list of linux distributions or build systems which can produce runnable images:

* Debian. An excellent guide [http://www.eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/iMX233-OLinuXino here], including instructions for bootloader, SD card partitioning, etc. There is [http://olimex.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/building-debian-linux-distribution-for-imx233-olinuxino/ another] guide from Olimex.
* [http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/olinuxino ArchlinuxARM] with packages for both 2.6 and 3.x kernels and rich package repositories. The prebuilt images use bootlets, but can be made to work with U-Boot.
* [https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-base Yocto BSP], where most of the work on the boards is done and integrated first. Not newb-friendly, but extremely powerful. Also a complete SDK with cross-toolchains, runtime libraries, etc.

== Software ==

To run a Linux system on these boards, 3 key components are required:

* boot code: either bootlets or a bootloader;
* kernel;
* root filesystem.

=== Kernels ===

There are two kernel flavours which work on all 3 iMX233 OLinuXino boards:

* 2.6 line. Build recipes: [https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm-extra/tree/master/recipes-kernel/linux Yocto BSP], [https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/core/kernel26-olinuxino ArchlinuxARM package].
* 3.x line. Can be built from the latest stable linux releases with minimal patching. [https://github.com/koliqi/imx23-olinuxino instructions], [https://github.com/RobertCNelson/armv5_devel easy build helper] with [http://www.eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/iMX233-OLinuXino instructions]

=== Software Distributions ===

A list of linux distributions or build systems which can produce runnable images:

* Debian. An excellent guide [http://www.eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/iMX233-OLinuXino here], including instructions for bootloader, SD card partitioning, etc. There is [http://olimex.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/building-debian-linux-distribution-for-imx233-olinuxino/ another] guide from Olimex.
* [http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/olinuxino ArchlinuxARM] with packages for both 2.6 and 3.x kernels and rich package repositories. The prebuilt images use bootlets, but can be made to work with U-Boot.
* [https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-base Yocto BSP], where most of the work on the boards is done and integrated first. Not newb-friendly, but extremely powerful. Also a complete SDK with cross-toolchains, runtime libraries, etc.

There are two kernel flavours which work on all 3 iMX233 OLinuXino boards:

* 2.6 line. Builds are available from the Yocto BSP.
* 3.x line. Can be built from the latest stable linux releases with minimal patching.

=== Software Distributions ===

A list of linux distributions or build systems which can produce runnable images:

* Debian TODO: add link/description
* [http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/olinuxino ArchlinuxARM] with packages for both 2.6 and 3.x kernels and rich package repositories.
* [https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-base Yocto BSP], where most of the work on the boards is done and integrated first. Not newb-friendly, but extremely powerful. Also a complete SDK with cross-toolchains, runtime libraries, etc.
* [https://github.com/buserror-uk/minifs minifs] Compact Linux Distro Generator for iMX233 with mainline Kernel 3.x
