Hello all,
I am currently working with the zedboard using a rootfs generated with a
dylan branch of yocto (gsl, gnuplot, gnuradio, java, vlc, v4l-utils, and
openCV with C920 camera).  My zImage and devicetree.dtb were built with
yocto sdk.  My BOOT.BIN (FSBL system.bit and u-boot) were built with 14.4
of Xilinx Tools.  This requires dual booting a CentOS 6.4 x86_64 (Xilinx
Tools) and Fedora19 x86_64 (Yocto).  I have not been able to run Yocto on
CentOS since the need for higher version of python.

Is it possible to generate a BOOT.BIN with the files generated with
Yocto?

This requires 2 toolchains.  I was checking the difference between the 2
see the attached files.
Should the difference between the toolchains be of concern going forward?

My Xilinx tools are node locked and I can only use on a single system.
Is there a method to run Yocto on CentOS6.4 x86_64?
Any and all help will be appreciated.

Thanks

See:

https://github.com/balister/meta-xilinx/tree/working-branch/recipes-bsp/u-boot

Basically, I use a pre-compiled fsbl.elf. This only needs the bootgen
command (from ISE) in the path. U-boot builds fine with the toolchain
built in OE. (Also, you can build the fsbl with an OE toolchain last
time I checked.

You could try installing the meta-toolchain which installs updated host
tools that Yocto can use.  Find them at
   http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.5/toolchain/x86_64/

Toolchain

[Michael Gloff]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 225 bytes --]

Is there a reason why the toolchain cannot be built with a machine name
that contains capital letters? Seems weird, everything else builds fine,
but meta-toolchain fails complaining about caps.

Thanks,

Although machine names are traditionally all lower case in our build system, 
there's no deliberate restriction in place that enforces this.

Would you be able to provide more details, such as the version of the build 
system you are using, the exact capital letters you used in the machine name, 
and the error you received? 

Thanks,
Paul

Perhaps I spoke too soon. There might not be a direct restriction on machine 
names; but opkg does restrict characters allowed in package names, and for 
meta-environment the machine name ends up as part of the package name. You 
could probably hack around it if you felt the need to, but the simplest thing 
would be to just change the machine name to be all lower-case.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks,
Not a big deal at all to build the toolchain with a different machine name.

hmm meta-environment-PMX-090T is a package name and
thats limitation of opkg backend, if you are too tied to

opkg itself doesn't seem to have this limitation, I just created and installed a
test package named 'A' perfectly fine.

The Debian policy says:
    Package names (both source and binary, see Package, Section 5.6.7) must
    consist only of lower case letters (a-z), digits (0-9), plus (+) and minus
    (-) signs, and periods (.). They must be at least two characters long and
    must start with an alphanumeric character.

So I think the restriction is there to keep generated packages
compatible with dpkg-deb.

We could consider removing the restriction if that compatibility isn't
necessary.

bogl: don't know screen type 1

[mike]

Hi,

Decided to reinstall linux, but this error haunts me.
Adding nolangchooser didnt help.

My boot file looks like this
amiboot -d -m mfile -k vmlinuz-2.4.27-amiga -r initrd.gz root=/dev/ram
video=amifb:pal-lace

Tried pretty much everything, it seems to die around the kbd chooser,
so i added bootkbd=querty/us.
This resulted in a segmentation fault before the bogl'ing started. By
the life of my i cant remember what i did last time.... But im pretty
sure i didnt add nolangchooser.

I believe you want to add the parameter fb=false to your kernel 
parameters. bogl is a graphics library that assumes kernel support 
that amiga doesn't have. fb=false tells d-i to not go there.

2.4.27 hasn't been tested with d-i in quite some time, at least not by me.

Peace,

Stephen

adjusted the fb= last time around, but to what i dont know. it does
work with 2.6, however i cant find any 1. cd isos i can download apart
from 3.1r8. Last time i installed from a iso image on the hard drive,
i even tracked down the loop.ko from my previous installation. (i
think and hope)

Thanks.

Yep. debian-installer dailies are now *dead* until we get a modern libc
working.

I wonder whether there are debian source packages for binutils, gcc and 
glibc having TLS/NPTL support for m68k.

The patches posted to the binutils mailing list are incomplete. The 
binutils patch at
http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/m68k/tls/
is broken according to Kolla:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2009/07/msg00001.html

But in that post (June 28) Maxim recommends using mainline binutils, and 
since then we have HJL binutils-2.19.51.0.14 released, "...based on 
binutils 2009 0722 in CVS on sourceware.org..." So I guess I should start 
there.

I understand that the current GCC (4.4) lacks the necessary patches, and 
4.5 is still uncooked (and that's a scary prospect). Can someone confirm 
that this is the necessary patch for 4.4:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-05/msg01024.html
Presumably not this one?
http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/m68k/tls/gcc_patch2
(and gcc_patch1 is clearly broken... perhaps it was actually the same 
thing before being mangled... Stephen, I don't think this "/tls" directory 
is helping any.)
Or perhaps there is a known-good gcc 4.5 snapshot (FWIW, I'd much rather 
patch a debian compiler instead, which means 4.4 or preferably older.)

As for eglibc, there are a number of branches listed here, 
http://www.eglibc.org/repository
The question is, which branch, snapshot or release might meet be suitable?

With this information, I could attempt to build a toolchain from upstream 
sources, or figure out whether or not the debian archive has the necessary 
source packages...

The last binutils TLS patches went in on 2009-08-26; the patches fixed 
generation of invalid TLS relocations.

I think GCC 4.4 should be good enough.

EGLIBC does not yet have NPTL patches checked in, they are in review on 
libc-ports@.  Once the review is finished, I will likely backport the 
patches from EGLIBC trunk to 2.10 branch.

You will also need a patch for kernel, posted on linux-m68k@.

OK. Debian has 2.19.51.20090827-1 in the sid archive. I wonder if it has 
been built yet?

I guess I'll wait for that, and then perhaps look into patching 2.9 if 
that turns out to be straight forward. (Debian has 2.10 in the 
experimental archive, 2.9 (more or less) in stable and testing.)

No, binutils buildds were failing, now that are stuck in autoconf 
dependency hell. I've been meaning to have a look. It will at the 
least take manually messing with older dependencies to get a set 
installed.

Stephen, this patch will be needed in order to build glibc with TLS, since 
it provides the userspace headers for TLS.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-m68k&m=125145669021517&w=2

Not sure how debian handles the kernel headers. I presume that 
linux-libc-dev (probably 2.6.30) needs the patch? (As will the other 
kernel packages of course.)

The patch doesn't apply to 2.6.30, because the rt_tgsigqueueinfo syscall 
is not there.

Will see how far I get with binutils and gcc while I wait for the 2.6.31 
kernel release and eglibc patches.

qt4x11 vs. uicmoc4-native vs. qmake2-native

[Geoffrey Wossum]

Hi all,

I've been doing some work with some Qt4 based applications, and I must say 
that I'm confused by the relationship between OE's qt4x11, uicmoc4-native, 
and qmake2-native packages.

As far as I can tell, this is what each package provides:

qt4x11 - headers and libraries for target system
uicmoc4-native - All Qt tools except qmake for host system
qmake2-native - qmake and mkspecs for host system

My main question is why can't uicmoc4-native and qmake2-native be combined 
into a single package?  Let me share my pain.

I need Qt 4.4 because I'm using Phonon.  So I make a new Bitbake recipe for 
qt4x11-4.4.0.  uicmoc4-native is still from 4.3.3.  Oh, noes!  uic from 4.3.3 
doesn't generate code that works with QT_NO_ACCESSIBILITY, but that was fixed 
in 4.4.0.  So I make a uicmoc4-native recipe and patches for 4.4.0.  Now I'm 
building a package that uses CMake (phonon-vlc-mplayer) and Qt.  CMake uses 
qmake (NOOOOO!) to figure out how to build Qt based applications.  
phonon-vlc-mplayer's build system punts because the qmake it finds from 
qmake2-native is for 4.3.3, and it wants at least 4.4.0.  So now I'm creating 
a qmake2-native recipe and patches that builds qmake from 4.4.0, and it feels 
like deja vu all over again.  

But it gets even worse.  uicmoc4-native gets its version number from the 
version of Qt used to build it.  But qmake2-native gets it's version number 
from the qmake version, which is independent of the Qt version.  Both Qt 
4.3.3 and 4.4.0 include qmake 2.10a.  However, qmake also remembers the 
version of Qt used to build it, which is what makes CMake unhappy.  So the 
qmake version of 2.10a really isn't the whole story.

I understand that Qt's build system doesn't really handle building host tools 
and target libraries in one shot, so at least two recipes are almost 
certainly necessary.  However, is there any good reason why uicmoc4-native 
and qmake2-native couldn't be combined into a single package?

TIA,
