Prepare card

To make sure everything will run without problem wipe all data on the MMC:

$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1k count=1024

Format the disk:

$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdx << __EOF__
> n
> 
> 
> 
> 
> w
> __EOF__

Make ext4 filesystem

$ sudo mkfs.ext4 -F -O ^metadata_csum,^64bit /dev/sdx1

NOTE: You MUST replace /dev/sdx with your device, e.g. /dev/sdc.

Cross compiler

In this tutorial gcc 5.4.0 is used:

$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --version
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Debian 5.4.0-6) 5.4.0 20160609
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE

On Ubutuntu/Debian run:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-5-arm-linux-gnueabihf

Optionally download toolchain from here. For example:

$ wget https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-5/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-5.3.1-2016.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
$ tar -xf gcc-linaro-5.3.1-2016.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz -C /opt

Then export to PATH:

$ expot PATH=$PATH:/opt/gcc-linaro-5.3.1-2016.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/

U-Boot

Building U-Boot

Get sources:

$ git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
$ cd u-boot

The patch is built against specific commit, so reset repository:

$ git reset --hard b89dfcfd926b8224edd24608065eb9bb601c0d3b

Get and apply patch:

$ wget <patch name>
$ git apply <patch name>

Build image, where <board_defconfig> is am335x_olimex_som_defconfig or am335x_olimex_som_nandboot_defconfig:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- <board_defconfig>

This will produce two files:

  • MLO
  • u-boot.img


Writing U-Boot

MMC

Insert your card and write MLO and u-boot.img:

$ sudo dd if=MLO of=/dev/sdx count=1 seek=1 bs=128k
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdx count=2 seek=1 bs=384k 

NAND

In both cases below you will need bootable MMC card. Copy MLO and u-boot.img to root (/) directory of the card.

NOTE: U-boot must be built with am335x_olimex_som_nandboot_defconfig!

From u-boot console

Boot via MMC and press any key to stop autoboot:

To see nand partitions run:

Erase the while chip:

=> nand erase.chip

NAND erase.chip: device 0 whole chip
Erasing at 0x1ffe0000 -- 100% complete.
OK

Or you can erase single partition:

=> nand erase.part NAND.SPL

NAND erase.part: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x20000
Erasing at 0x0 -- 100% complete.
OK

NOTE: Everytime before write operation mtd partitions MUST be erased!


Write MLO:

Kernel

We are going to use kernel 4.4 from TI.

Getting the sources

Clone into repository:

$ git clone git://git.ti.com/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel.git
$ cd ti-linux-kernel

Get 4.4.y remote branch:

$ git checkout linux-4.4.y -b linux-4.4

Configure kernel

Make omap2plus default defconfig:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- omap2plus_defconfig

Make some modifications:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- omap2plus_defconfig
  • Enable SPIDEV
Device Drivers  --->
   [*] SPI support  --->
       <M>   User mode SPI device driver support
  • Enable DRM
Device Drivers  --->
   Graphics support  --->
       <M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)  --->
       <M> DRM Support for TI LCDC Display Controller
           [*]   Support device tree blobs using TI LCDC Slave binding (NEW)
  • Enable SHAM and AES
-*- Cryptographic API  --->
   [*]   Hardware crypto devices  --->
       <M>   Support for OMAP MD5/SHA1/SHA2 hw accelerator
       <M>   Support for OMAP AES hw engine

Kernel build

Build kernel and modules:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage modules

Install modules to target directory:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=output modules_install

Patch kernel tree to get our device-tree blobs:

$ git apply 0001-Add-support-for-OLIMEX-dtbs.patch

If patch fail, you can reset the tree:

$ git reset --hard 65fd19fc2bac06ae7e66cc3d6450c9d6dd034311

Build dtbs:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- dtbs

This will produce lot of .dtb files. The interesting ones are:

  • am335x-olimex-som.dtb - The minimum configuration for AM335x-SOM to run.
  • am335x-olimex-som-nand.dtb - Same as above, but with enabled nand.
  • am335x-olimex-som-evb.dtb - Support for AM335x-SOM-EVB. Use this one, if there isn't intalled nand on AM335x-SOM
  • am335x-olimex-som-evb-nand.dtb - Save above, without dual ethernet and enabled nand.


File system

Debian 8

Install required tools:

$ sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static debootstrap binfmt-support 

Make target directory:

$ mkdir rootfs
$ sudo debootstrap --arch=armhf --foreign jessie rootfs 

Copy qemu and resolvonf:

$ sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static rootfs/usr/bin/
$ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf rootfs/etc 

Go into the new file system:

$ sudo chroot rootfs 

Inside the new file system do:

# export LANG=C
# /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage

Set apt sources.list:

# cat << __EOF__ > /etc/apt/sources.list
