TI BSP

WARNING: do not use if you are not use to re-basing git branches, as this is based onhttp://git.ti.com/gitweb/?p=ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ti-linux-4.1.y instead of a stable kernel branch. Thus you will have to do: (git checkout master -f ; git branch -D tmp ; git pull ; git checkout origin/ti-linux-4.1.y -b tmp) often..
Download:

~/
git clone https: //github.com/RobertCNelson/ti-linux-kernel-dev.git

For TI v4.1.x:

~/ti-linux-kernel-dev
git checkout origin/ti-linux- 4.1 .y -b tmp

For TI v4.1.x: Real-Time

~/ti-linux-kernel-dev
git checkout origin/ti-linux-rt- 4.1 .y -b tmp

For TI v4.4.x:

git checkout origin/ti-linux- 4.4 .y -b tmp

For TI v4.4.x: Real-Time

Setup microSD card

For these instruction we are assuming, DISK=/dev/mmcblk0, lsblk is very useful for determining the device id.

export DISK=/dev/mmcblk0

Erase partition table/labels on microSD card:

sudo dd if =/dev/zero of=${DISK} bs=1M count= 10

Install Bootloader:

~/
sudo dd if =./u-boot/MLO of=${DISK} count= 1 seek= 1 bs=128k
sudo dd if =./u-boot/u-boot.img of=${DISK} count= 2 seek= 1 bs=384k

Create Partition Layout:
With util-linux v2.26, sfdisk was rewritten and is now based on libfdisk.

sfdisk
sudo sfdisk --version
sfdisk from util-linux 2.27 . 1
sfdisk >= 2.26.x
sudo sfdisk ${DISK} <<-__EOF__
1M,,L,*
__EOF__
sfdisk <= 2.25.x
sudo sfdisk --unit M ${DISK} <<-__EOF__
1 ,,L,*
__EOF__

Format Partition:
With mkfs.ext4 1.43, we need to make sure metadata_csum and 64bit are disabled, as U-Boot CAN NOT currently handle these newer ext4 options.

mkfs.ext4 -V
sudo mkfs.ext4 -V
mke2fs 1.43 -WIP ( 15 -Mar- 2016 )
         Using EXT2FS Library version 1.43 -WIP
mkfs.ext4 >= 1.43
for : DISK=/dev/mmcblk0
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs -O ^metadata_csum,^64bit ${DISK}p1
  
for : DISK=/dev/sdX
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs -O ^metadata_csum,^64bit ${DISK} 1
mkfs.ext4 <= 1.42
for : DISK=/dev/mmcblk0
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs ${DISK}p1
  
for : DISK=/dev/sdX
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs ${DISK} 1

Mount Partition:
On most systems these partitions may will be auto-mounted...

sudo mkdir -p /media/rootfs/
  
for : DISK=/dev/mmcblk0
sudo mount ${DISK}p1 /media/rootfs/
  
for : DISK=/dev/sdX
sudo mount ${DISK} 1 /media/rootfs/

Backup Bootloader

This version of MLO/u-boot.img will be used on the "eMMC" flasher script on this page.

~/
sudo mkdir -p /media/rootfs/opt/backup/uboot/
sudo cp -v ./u-boot/MLO /media/rootfs/opt/backup/uboot/
sudo cp -v ./u-boot/u-boot.img /media/rootfs/opt/backup/uboot/

Dealing with old Bootloader in eMMC

If you don't want to clear out the old Bootloader in eMMC add this uEnv.txt to /media/rootfs/

~/uEnv.txt
##This will work with: Angstrom's 2013.06 . 20 u-boot.
  
loadaddr= 0x82000000
fdtaddr= 0x88000000
rdaddr= 0x88080000
  
initrd_high= 0xffffffff
fdt_high= 0xffffffff
  
# for single partitions:
mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk0p1
  
loadximage=load mmc 0 : 1 ${loadaddr} /boot/vmlinuz-${uname_r}
loadxfdt=load mmc 0 : 1 ${fdtaddr} /boot/dtbs/${uname_r}/${fdtfile}
loadxrd=load mmc 0 : 1 ${rdaddr} /boot/initrd.img-${uname_r}; setenv rdsize ${filesize}
loaduEnvtxt=load mmc 0 : 1 ${loadaddr} /boot/uEnv.txt ; env import -t ${loadaddr} ${filesize};
loadall=run loaduEnvtxt; run loadximage; run loadxfdt;
  
mmcargs=setenv bootargs console=tty0 console=${console} ${optargs} ${cape_disable} ${cape_enable} root=${mmcroot} rootfstype=${mmcrootfstype} ${cmdline}
  
uenvcmd=run loadall; run mmcargs; bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdtaddr};
~/
sudo cp -v ./uEnv.txt /media/rootfs/

Install Kernel and Root File System

To help new users, since the kernel version can change on a daily basis. The kernel building scripts listed on this page will now give you a hint of what kernel version was built.

-----------------------------
Script Complete
eewiki.net: [user @localhost :~$ export kernel_version= 4 .X.Y-Z]
-----------------------------

Copy and paste that "export kernel_version=4.X.Y-Z" exactly as shown in your own build/desktop environment and hit enter to create an environment variable to be used later.

export kernel_version= 4 .X.Y-Z

Copy Root File System

~/
sudo tar xfvp . /*-*-*-armhf-*/ armhf-rootfs-*.tar -C /media/rootfs/

Set uname_r in /boot/uEnv.txt

~/
sudo sh -c "echo 'uname_r=${kernel_version}' >> /media/rootfs/boot/uEnv.txt"

Copy Kernel Image

Kernel Image:

~/
sudo cp -v ./bb-kernel/deploy/${kernel_version}.zImage /media/rootfs/boot/vmlinuz-${kernel_version}

Copy Kernel Device Tree Binaries

~/
sudo mkdir -p /media/rootfs/boot/dtbs/${kernel_version}/
sudo tar xfv ./bb-kernel/deploy/${kernel_version}-dtbs.tar.gz -C /media/rootfs/boot/dtbs/${kernel_version}/

Copy Kernel Modules

~/
sudo tar xfv ./bb-kernel/deploy/${kernel_version}-modules.tar.gz -C /media/rootfs/

File Systems Table (/etc/fstab)

/etc/fstab
sudo sh -c "echo '/dev/mmcblk0p1  /  auto  errors=remount-ro  0  1' >> /media/rootfs/etc/fstab"

Networking

Edit: /etc/network/interfaces

sudo nano /media/rootfs/etc/network/interfaces

Add:

/etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
  
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Networking: Using a shared SD card with Multiple BeagleBone

To always enable the Ethernet interface as eth0.
Edit: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

sudo nano /media/rootfs/etc/udev/rules.d/ 70 -persistent-net.rules

Add:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# BeagleBone: net device ()
SUBSYSTEM== "net" , ACTION== "add" , DRIVERS== "?*" , ATTR{dev_id}== "0x0" , ATTR{type}== "1" , KERNEL== "eth*" , NAME= "eth0"

Serial Login

Ubuntu v3.8.x
Create new file: /etc/init/serial.conf

sudo nano /media/rootfs/etc/init/serial.conf

With this content:

/etc/init/serial.conf
start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[ 2345 ]
stop on runlevel [! 2345 ]
  
respawn
exec /sbin/getty 115200 ttyO0

Ubuntu v4.1.x
Create new file: /etc/init/serial.conf

sudo nano /media/rootfs/etc/init/serial.conf

With this content:

/etc/init/serial.conf
start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[ 2345 ]
stop on runlevel [! 2345 ]
  
respawn
exec /sbin/getty 115200 ttyS0

Remove microSD/SD card

sync
sudo umount /media/rootfs

usb gadget

Provides http access to beaglebone black over usb.
Install udhcpd

sudo apt-get install udhcpd

Edit: /etc/network/interfaces and add:

/etc/network/interfaces
# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
# ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
iface usb0 inet static
         address 192.168 . 7.2
         netmask 255.255 . 255.252
         network 192.168 . 7.0
         gateway 192.168 . 7.1

chmod +x beaglebone-black-g-ether-load.sh
sudo ./beaglebone-black-g-ether-load.sh

HDMI

This sections assumes you have already installed your favorite xorg based window manager, such as lxde, xfce, kde, gnome, etc... These are packages that need to be installed on top of your selected windows manager and an xorg.conf needed to correctly setup the video interface.
Note: If the cursor doesn\'t show up right away, first hit: ctlr-alt-f1 then: ctrl-alt-f7 after which it \'should\' show up...
Make sure to install, modesetting driver and xrandr utilities:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install read-edid xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-modesetting x11-xserver-utils
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Monitor"
         Identifier      "Builtin Default Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Device"
         Identifier      "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0"
         Driver          "fbdev"
#        Driver          "modesetting"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
         Identifier      "Builtin Default fbdev Screen 0"
         Device          "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0"
         Monitor         "Builtin Default Monitor"
         DefaultDepth    16
#Chipsee lcd7 bbb-exp-c:
#        DefaultDepth    24
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
         Identifier      "Builtin Default Layout"
         Screen          "Builtin Default fbdev Screen 0"
EndSection

xrandr:

xrandr
xrandr --output HDMI- 0 --mode 1024x768 --rate 60

xrandr (over serial/ssh)

xrandr -display : 0.0 -q
xrandr -display : 0.0 --output HDMI- 0 --mode 1024x768 --rate 60

eMMC

Script to copy your microSD card to eMMC: (this will need these packages installed: initramfs-tools dosfstools rsync)

wget https: //raw.githubusercontent.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/master/tools/eMMC/bbb-eMMC-flasher-eewiki-ext4.sh
chmod +x bbb-eMMC-flasher-eewiki-ext4.sh
sudo /bin/bash ./bbb-eMMC-flasher-eewiki-ext4.sh

SGX

Build SGX modules/userspace (must be done on an x86, due to the TI 5.01.01.02 blob extractor)

~/bb-kernel
./sgx_build_modules.sh

Copy ./deploy/GFX_5.01.01.02.tar.gz to BeagleBone/BeagleBone Black and install

sudo tar xfv GFX_5. 01.01 . 02 .tar.gz -C /
cd /opt/gfxinstall/
sudo ./sgx-install.sh
sudo reboot
