iMX53 Query

iMX53 Query

[Tejas Shah]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2308 bytes --]

Hello,

I am new to Yocto Project and need some help with Yocto Project. I am
suppose to create a BSP layer for iMX53 and to be able to build it using
bitbake and emulate it using QEMU. To start with, I did read Yocto Project
Quick Start Guide to familiarize myself with Yocto Project. I was able to
build images for example machines using bitbake and emulate in QEMU.
Furthermore, I read the Development manual and BSP layer guide to make
myself familiarize with how to create BSP layer. Now that I had some
knowledge of layers, I created my own layer(meta-iMX53) and used the same
layer.conf as other layers but need to make some changes in machine
configuration file (iMX53.conf) for building the image. For machine
configuration file, I used beagleboard.conf as my start point and made some
changes, but need help with other changes that will be required.
Here is the iMX5.conf file.

#@TYPE: Machine
#@NAME: iMX53 machine


PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/xserver ?= "xserver-xorg"
XSERVER ?= "xserver-xorg \
           xf86-input-evdev \
           xf86-input-mouse \
           xf86-video-omapfb \
           xf86-input-keyboard"

# Ship all kernel modules by default
MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS = " kernel-modules"

# Uncomment the following line to enable the hard floating point abi. Note
that
# this breaks some binary libraries and 3D (neither of which ship with
# meta-yocto). For maximum compatibility, leave this disabled.
#DEFAULTTUNE ?= "cortexa8hf-neon"
*include conf/machine/include/tune-cortexa8.inc*

*IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2 jffs2"
EXTRA_IMAGECMD_jffs2 = "-lnp "*

# 2.6.37 and later kernels use OMAP_SERIAL, ttyO2
# earlier kernels use ttyS2
*SERIAL_CONSOLE = "115200 ttyO2"*

*PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ?= "linux-yocto"
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto ?= "3.4%"

KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "uImage"*

UBOOT_MACHINE = "omap3_beagle_config"
*UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT = "0x70800000"
UBOOT_LOADADDRESS = "0x70800000"*

MACHINE_FEATURES = "apm usbgadget usbhost vfat alsa"
# End of file


In the above file, the change I made are in blue color and there are some
that will remain same I think as beagleboard which are in green color, but
don't know what other changes will be required.

Can you please help me? It is very urgent.

I'd suggest using the layer freescale already provides for the imx machines

You're duplicating work. The iMX53 is already supported in meta-fsl-arm, as
Chris said. Please check the layer and join meta-freescale mailing list (
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-freescale).

For sure you need to change the UBOOT_MACHINE.

Take a look at meta-fsl-arm and if you face any error, please, send the 
log to mainlist.

Hello,

I cloned meta-fsl-arm on my laptop to build images for iMX53 board. So
first of all, I added this BSP layer to bblayers.conf and I also added
iMX53 as a machine in layer.conf file to be able to build using bitbake.

The command I used to build using bitbake is the following:

$bitbake -k core-image-minimal

But I end up with this error:

*pshah9@ubuntu:~/poky-danny-8.0/build$ bitbake -k core-image-minimal

What branch of OE-core are you using?

Did you look at the README in meta-fsl-arm?  It has notes on how to handle this error.

Please check the README as it does describe how to fix this.

Hello,

I was able to build the image using bitbake and now here I am trying to run
the image to emulate in qemu using the following command, but I get errors.

QEMU doesn't provide support to emulate iMX53 SoC so it won't work. This
image can only be used, for now, in the hardware.
