[bc10]
This article explains how to build “android-2.3.2_r1” for bc10. The directions of the building process are shown below.
- Building the development environment in which build is actually executed
- Obtaining the source code of the android open source project
- Building bc10-kernel and the kernel module for USB wifi
- Adding patches, and modifying android for bc10
- Building android
- Installing SGX SDK
- Writing into SD card
The requirements for the development environment are shown below.
- OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (64bit version)
- JAVA: java 1.6x
- Android: android-2.3.2_r1
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread ) or newer versions needs a 64bit development environment
This section follows the instructions of “Setting up your machine" at “Getting the Source” page of Android Open Source Project.
Applying the commands below, obtain the sun java package form the Ubuntu repository. Then, install the java package.
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner" $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk $ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
Using a command line below, pick up the required packages from the Ubuntu repository, then, install the packages. (Actually, the command line show below is one line, the breaks (\) are added intentionally.)
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev \ gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \ x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev
To obtain the source code of Android, set up repo.
$ cd ~ $ mkdir bin $ curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo $ chmod a+x ~/bin/repoTo take PATH to ~/bin, you just log-out Ubuntu once and log-in again. If you like to keep on log-in the Ubuntu environment, your need ~/bin to PATH of environment variable. To export PATH, apply the command below.
$ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Create the working directory called bc10, execute repo init for obtaining android-2.3.2_r1 tag (The name of the working directory is arbitrary. You may call the directory in any name such as “android-2.3.2_r1.” If you name it your own rather than the example, please change the configuration of PATH.)
$ cd ~/ $ mkdir bc10 $ cd bc10 $ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b android-2.3.2_r1
After executing repo init, run repo sync. Then, download the source code of a android.
$ repo syncThe size of file is roughly 5GB. It takes time to download the file, and its duration highly depends on the speed of network.
To turn on/off Wifi from UI of android, the kernel module of USB wifi will be needed to placed in userland. Before building android, the kernel module of USB wifi should be built. As this USB wifi kernel built requires the kernel source tree of already built kernel, kernel for bc10 is built first.
x-loader, u-boot, and kernel, which are necessary for booting, are built from cross toolchain, which is included in the source code of android. Specifically, arm cross toolchain is used here, and this toolchain is located inside of the directory of prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/.
To let arm cross toolchain do cross compile during the build process, the configuration of the environment variable is changed.
$ export PATH=/home/beat/bc10/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin:${PATH} $ export ARCH=arm $ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
$ cd ~/ $ git clone git://gitorious.org/~bc-dev/rowboat/bc10-rowboat-kernel.git bc10-rowboat-kernel $ cd ~/bc10-rowboat-kernel/
Change to the release branch for bc10. If you need only wifi module, you can omit make module from the command lines below.
$ git checkout -t -b bc10-2.6.32 origin/bc10-2.6.32 $ make omap3_bc10_defconfig $ make uImage $ make modules
After the build process is completed, uImage is created at the directory shown bwlow.
$ ls ~/bc10-rowboat-kernel/arch/arm/boot/ Image Makefile bootp compressed install.sh uImage zImage
To use an USB Wifi device, install the drivers for RT3070USB.
The devices that have confirmed to work with bc10 are listed below.
Maker Serial Number Vendor ID Device ID Memo PLANEX GW-USMicroN-G 2019 ED14 Discontinued Logitec LAN-W150N/U2IPH 0789 0164 Logitec LAN-W150N/U2BK 0789 0168 Buffalo WLI-UC-GNM 0411 01a2 Buffalo WLI-UC-G301N 0411 016f This only works when it is connected to a powered hub. Buffalo WLI-UC-GN 0411 015d The driver used here is a Linux driver, which is listed at RALINK web site. The name of driver is 2011_0107_RT3070_RT3370_Linux_SAT_v2.5.0.1_DPO.tar.bz2. To download the driver, your name and mail address are required. The file downloaded from there can be placed at the directory of /home/beat/. (Hereafter, the working directory is assumed to be /home/beat/.)
To build the drover, employ the same cross toolchain,which has been used for building kernel. The toolchain is located at the dierctory of prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/.
To apply a patch, the toolchain can cross compile for bc10. The list of modifications, which are resulted from the the patch. The major changes are shown below.
- Adding the specific compiler configuration for bc10 (platform, PATH of toochain, configuration of compile flag)
- Modifying the firmware. The region is set for “Japan,” and the list of other entires are simplified.
- Vender ID and product ID of USB Wifi are added.

The extension of the distributed source archive is denoted as bz2, but the files are compressed with gzip. After extracting the archives, apply patch and execute make. The instructions are shown below.
$ cd ~/ $ tar xvfz 2011_0107_RT3070__RT3370_Linux_STA_v2.5.0.1_DPO.tar.bz2 $ patch -p0 < RT3070-2.5.0.1.diff $ cd 2011_0107_RT3070__RT3370_Linux_STA_v2.5.0.1_DPO/ $ make $ ls -l os/linux/rt3070sta.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 beat beat 8809768 2011-01-30 21:58 rt3070sta.ko
After the make process is completed, rt3070sta.ko is created.
To building android-2.3.2_r1 for bc10, apply git clone and obtain the extra files from github repository.
Use the commands below, also_sound is added to android-2.3.2_r1.
$ cd ~bc10/hardware/ $ git clone git://github.com/bc-dev/2.3-hardware-alsa_sound.git alsa_sound
To apply the commands, alsa-lib and alsa-utils are included in android-2.3.2_r1.
$ cd ~/bc10/external/ $ git clone git://github.com/bc-dev/2.3-external-alsa-lib.git alsa-lib $ git clone git://github.com/bc-dev/2.3-external-alsa-lib.git alsa-utils
To apply the commands show below, the build configuration files are added to android-2.3.2_r1. $ cd ~/bc10/device $ git clone git://github.com/bc-dev/2.3-device-beatcraft.git beatcraft
This patch is not for adding files to the source, but this modifies the source code of android-2.3.2_r1 for bc10.
To employ the commands shown below, obtain patch files.
$ cd ~/ $ git clone git://github.com/bc-dev/2.3-patches.git
Apply a patch to wpa_supplicant_6. This patch makes USB wifi manageable from the UI of Android.
$ cd ~/bc10/external/wpa_supplicant_6 $ cp ~/2.3-patches/external-wpa_supplicant_6.diff . $ patch -p1 < external-wpa_supplicant_6.diff
As bc10 is equipped with OMP3530, it is recognized as TARGET_BOARD=omap3 in the building configuration file. As this setting is effective, code are built under the directory of android-2.3.2_r1/hardware/ti/omap3/'''. The code are not fixed for Gingerbread, and it is not applicable to OMAP3530. This patch prevents building the code.
$ cd ~/bc10/hardware/ti/omap3 $ cd ~/2.3-patches/hardware-ti-omap3.diff $ patch -p1 < hardware-ti-omap3.diff
Copy the patched firmwares and the drier of RT3070USB, which, is discussed and built in the previous section, to device/beatcraft/bc10/.
$ cd ~/bc10/2011_0107_RT3070__RT3370_Linux_STA_v2.5.0.1_DPO/ $ cp os/linux/rt3070sta.ko ~/bc10/device/beatcraft/bc10/ $ cp RT2870STA.dat ~/bc10/device/beatcraft/bc10/Each file placed in this directory is copied to its appropriate directory. Please look at the variables on PRODUCT_COPY_FILE, which are listed on ~/bc10/device/beatcraft/bc10/device.mk.
The prebuilt images of uImage, RT3070sta.ko, and RT2870STA.dat are registered at git repository of device/beatcraft/bc10/. You may create a boot image of android with these prebuilt images. If you would like to use the prebuilt images, we recommend that the kernel and drivers, which are compatible the kernel, should be built at your own development environment.
Now, the preparation for the build process is completed.
Setting up the environment variables of bc10 for building android.

After checking the configuration, execute make.
$ make
As make is executed, the number of CPU's cores can change depending on your development environment. As applying to -j2, it is executed as parallel computing, and it will significantly reduces the duration of the building process. As adding showcommands to make, the logs of the commands will be output. You may receive the detail information of building process.
- Example:
$ time make showcommands -j2 2>&1 | tee make.log-20110201-01
The building process described above is completed, execute commands below under the same environment variables are applied. The commands will additionally build the HAL modules for GPS and other sensors.
$ cd ~/bc10/device/beatcraft/bc10/libgps $ mm $ cd ~/bc10/device/beatcraft/bc10/libsensors $ mm

To apply the same method as bc10/froyo, obtain TI Android SDK.
(Caution):
- Whole process takes quite long time.
- If you have already downloaded and installed OMAP35x_ Android_Graphics_SDJ_3_01_00_03 for bc10/froyo. Basically, the file is the same, and you may use it for this section. There are no issues on reusing the same file. Please be careful with the location of Rule.make''' directory. If download the same file again, please treat the old one as a backup or delate it.
- As changing a part of kernel and/or Android userland, whole of kernel and Android is needed to be rebuilt.

For the details of creation of SD card, please look at the section of “Creating a bootable SD card”, which is listed below.
To apply the commands shown below, obtain and build the source code.
$ cd ~/ $ git clone git://gitorious.org/~bc-dev/x-load-omap3/x-load-bc10.git x-load-bc10 $ cd x-load-bc10/ $ git checkout -t -b bc10 origin/bc10 $ make omap3530bc10_config $ makeSince the specifications and format of x-load.bin do not match with OMAP BootROM's ones, x-load.bin does not work as boot loader in the NAND Flash or a SD card. To solve this issue, apply signGP, and modify x-load.bin. signGP can be downloaded from http://beagleboard.googlecode.com/files/signGP. signGP can be used as it is shown below.
$ signGP x-load.binx-load.bin.ift, which is produced in the build process, is renamed as MLO. MLO is a file, which is installed in the top of FAT partition. The details of creating SD card image is shown below. Please look at the section of “Creating a bootable SD card.”
$ mv x-load.bin.ift MLO
This article is originally published at the Create bootable SD card of bc10/booting. The instructions apply to only SD card. (bc10 cannot boot from microSD by design.)
The partitions of SD card and the files contained in these partitions are shown below.
- FAT32 Partition
- X-Loader
- U-Boot
- Linux kernel (Android Version)
- Linux Partition
- Android root file system
The working environment is assumed to be Linux.
The directions of process is shown below.
- Initializing and configuring the partitions
- Formatting file system
- Placing files
These instructions are based upon LinuxBootDiskFormat (code.google.com), and its details are arranged for bc10.
To start working on a SD card, please unmount the SD card. As partitioning and formatting the SD card, it is needed to be unmounted.
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on ... /dev/sdc1 400M 94M 307M 24% /media/disk ...Then, unmount the SD card.
$ umount /media/disk
To use fdisk command, obtain the basic information of the SD card. To initialize and configure the SD card, the parameter is the device file of the SD card. The location of the file may change, depending on your working environment. This is an example. The location of files may vary Please check your working environment before start working on the SD card.
$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
Command (m for help): [p] 　 Disk /dev/sdc: 2021 MB, 2021654528 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 245 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Erase all partitions
Command (m for help): [d] Selected partition 1
Turn to expert mode.
Command (m for help): [x]
According to the results of fdisk, the number of heads is 255.
Expert Command (m for help): [h] Number of heads (1-256, default xxx): [255]
Also, from the outputs of fdisk, the number of sectors is 63.
Expert Command (m for help): [s] Number of sectors (1-63, default xxx): [63]
The number of cylinders highly depends on a SD card. The figure that is used for calculating the number of cylinders. The outcome is truncated below decimal point, do not be rounded.
#cylinders = FLOOR(the number of Bytes on the SD Card/#heads/#sectors/#some ) #some is used for calculating units in the results of “fdisk” (Not #cylinders, the other number). In this example it will be “512”.
The application of this figure is shown below.
2021654528 / 255 / 63 / 512 = 245.79 -> 245
The number of cylinders for this example is 245
Expert Command (m for help): [c] Number of cylinders (1-256, default xxx): [245]

FAT32 partition and Linux partition are formatted separately.
In the commands shown below, “FAT32” and “EXT3” define the names of partitions. These names are just examples, and you may choose any names you prefer.$ [sudo mkfs.msdos -F 32 /dev/sdc1 -n FAT32] mkfs.msdos 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)

There are several restrictions on the instillation of X-Loader (MLO) on the SD card. The restrictions are shown below.
- After formatting FAT32 partition, MLO is placed first.
- Put it at the top directory inside the partition.
$ cd ~/bc10/x-load-bc10/ $ sudo cp MLO /media/FAT32/Other files do not have any restrictions. Just copy the files to the SD card.
$ cd ~/bc10/u-boot-bc10/ $ sudo cp u-boot.bin /media/FAT32/ $ cd ~/bc10/bc10-rowboat-kernel/arch/arm/boot/ $ sudo cp uImage /media/FAT32/If you have made mistakes on this process, or any process are not succeeded, please redo from the section of creating F32 partition.
There are no specific regulations on how to place the files. bc10-image/ can copied to EXT3 partition of the SD card.
$ cd ~/bc10/out/target/product/bc10/bc10-image/ $ sudo cp -a * /media/EXT3/This is the end of copying the bootable image to a SD card.
Please do sync first, then, unmount the SD card.$ sudo sync $ umount /media/EXT3 $ umount /media/FAT32
Insert the prepared SD card into the SD card slot of bc10. Then, turn on the power supply. At the first time, Android takes long time for booting since it createsSQLite configuration DB and Dalvik Executable (.dex) file and writes on the hard drive.
This is the end of the creating the bootable image of Android 2.3.2_r1 for bc10.
bc10 does have 7 buttons at both sides. Please In Figure A, the configuration of buttons is identified. (In the picture, the enclosure of bc10 is a prototype.)

As updating u-boot-bc10, the configuration, which AMOLED is treated as the initial value of display device, has been located at the directory under u-boot-bc10/include/configs/omap3_bc10.h. Because of this configuration, the location of boot.scr has not been predetermined, yet the same content of the configuration is coped to boot.scr, and used for booting bc10. As copying the content, the configuration of u-boot.bin replaces the content of boot.scr. The content of configuration of boot.scr, which AMOLED is considered as the initial value of display device, is shown below.
$ cd ~ $ vi boot.script if fatload mmc 0 84000000 uImage then echo ***** Kernel: /dev/mmcblk0p1/uImage.bin ***** fi echo ***** RootFS: /dev/mmcblk0p2 ***** setenv bootargs 'mem=256M androidboot.console=ttyS2 console=tty0 console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 init=/init rootwait omapdss.def_disp=lcd' bootm 84000000 (Caution) From '''setenv bootargs''' to '''disp=lcd' ''' is originally written as a single sentence.
