bc10
Outline for bc10/prebuilt-20110107 †
bc10/prebuilt-20110107 is based upon AOSP android-2.2_r1.1
This article provides the detail explanations of the bootable prebuilt image, android-2.2_r1.1 prebuilt image. This
prebuilt image is basically a modified and extended version of the bootable image for bc10/froyo. The first half
of this section shows how to build the bootable image, and the second half explains how to create a bootable SD
card, placing the prebuilt image on a the SD card.
- The instructions of how to create the prebuilt image
This section provides the instructions of how to create an development environment for prebuilt-20110107, the
building method of prebuilt-20110107, and the addition of Wifi driver for prebuilt-20110107. This explains
how to create the prebuilt image.
- The instructions of how to place the prebuilt image
This section shows that how to download the image of prebuilt-20110107, bc10-boot-sd-image-release20110107.tar.gz
and how to place the images into a SD card. This section shows how to make a SD card bootable.
Instructions of creating prebuilt image †
Developing environment †
To create the development environment, these three items are really critical.
- OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (32bit version)
- JAVA: java 1.5x
- Android Version: android-2.2_r1.1
Installing packages †
Obtain the required packages from the repository of ubuntu and instal the packages.
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev \
libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev uboot-mkimage
java5 †
Since Ubuntu 9.10 sun-java5-jdk, which is critical to build Android, has been removed from the repository of ubuntu.
An old repository is temporarily added to /etc/apt/source.list.
$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
## respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu users.
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security restricted main multiverse universe #Added by software-properties
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse
+ deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse
+ deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates multiverse
After adding the old repository, acquire the information of repository by applying apt-get update. Then, install
sun-java5-jdk.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
After completing the installation, the added repository is removed. This prevents accidentally installing old packages.
$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
## respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu users.
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner

- deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates multiverse
Once again, applying apt-get update, obtain the present information of the current repository and restore the
original present depository.
$ sudo apt-get update
Obtaining Android source file †
Setting up repo †
Configure repo for obtaining the source code of android.
$ cd ~
$ mkdir bin
$ curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo
$ chmod a + x ~/bin/repo
As using Ubuntu, once log-out and then log-in, PATH is going through ~/bin automatically. Prefer to stay
log-in, set the PATH to ~/bin flowing directions shown below.
$ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Initializing repo †
Create a directory called bc10 for the source file, and execute repo init to download android-2.2_r1.1 branch
to the bc10 directory.
$ cd~
$ mkdir bc10
$ cd bc10
$ repo init -u git*//android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b android-2.2_r1.1
Adding local_manifest.xml †
The source code that can be downloaded with the android-2.2_r1.1 tag does not include ALSA. To use ALSA as audio
library, modify the local_manifest.xml for adding ALSA and its related files, and make the source code of the ALSA
file obtainable. To obtain the files, create a local_manifest.xml under the directory of bc10/.repo/ and modify
it as shown below.
The android-2.2_r1.1 specific ALSA related files have not been tagged out yet. This time, the ALSA of Froy branch is used
for android-2.2_r1.1.
$ vi .repo/local_manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="external/alsa-lib" name="platform/external/alsa-lib" revision="froyo"/>
<project path="external/alsa-utils" name="platform/external/alsa-utils" revision="froyo"/>
<project path="hardware/alsa_sound" name="platform/hardware/alsa_sound" revision="froyo"/>
</manifest>
repo sync †
After adding local_manifest.xml, execute repo sync''', and obtain the source code of android.
$ repo sync
The total size of the files is from 2 to 4GB. Download time highly depends on the speed of network.
Applying the build configuration file of bc10 †
The patches and configuration files, which Optimize and build android-2.2_r1.1 for bc10, are downloaded from the
repository of github by the command of git clone. Then apply the patches and configuration files by the command of
patch_to_android-2.2_r1.1_for bc10/bc10-patch.sh.
$ cd ~
$ git clone git://github.com/bc-dev/path_to_android-2.2_r1.1_for _bc10.git
$ cd patch_to_amndroid-2.2_r1.1_for _bc10
There are no specific directory for the downloaded patches and configuration files, which are obtained by git clone,
but before applying these patches and files, make sure that the environment variables in bc10-patch.sh are matched with
the PATHs of these files.
$ vi bc10-patch.sh
### Settings
ANDROID_DIR=${HOME}/bc10
SETUP_DIR=${HOME}/patch_to_android-2.2_r1.1_for_b10
PATCH_DIR=${SETUP_DIR}/patches-for-bc10
After checking the PATHs of the files are equal to the the environment variables in bc10-patch.sh, execute bc10-patch.sh.
$ ./bc10-patch.sh
Android build †
Set up the environment for bc10
$ cd ~/bc10
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch bc10-eng

Check the configuration of environment. Then, execute make.
$ make
Crating image †
After build is completed, relocate the binary of userland to a bootable place. mkbc10-image.sh is used for setting up
userland.
$ cd ~/patch_to_android-2.2_r1.1_for_b10
$ ./mkbc10-image.sh
Execute commands above, bc10-image is created under the directory of bc/out/target/product/bc10/. Under the directory of
this bc10-image android userland will be placed.

Kernel build †
Configuring environment variable †
x-loader, u-boot, and kernel are required for booting bc10. These are built with toolchain, which is distributed
with the
source code of android. toolchain used here is located at the directory, prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin.
The environment variable is needs to set for the cross compile as this toolchain build these files.
$ export PATH=/home/beat/bc10/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin:${PATH}
$ export ARCH=arm
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
kernel †
$ cd ~
$ git clone git://gitorious.org/~bc-dev/rowboat/bc10-rowboat-kernel.git bc10-rowboat-kernel
$ cd bc10-rowboat-kernel/
Shift to the release branch for bc10.
$ git checkout -t -b bc10-2.6.32 origin/bc10-2.6.32
$ make omap3_bc10_defconfig
$ make uImage
$ make modules
After build is completed, uImage is created at the directory shown below.
$ ls ~/bc10-rowboat-kernel/arch/arm/boot/
Image Makefile bootp compressed install.sh uImage zImage
Building USB Wifi (RT3070USB) driver †
To work with USB Wifi devices, a Wifi driver, RT3070USB is added. The devices listed below have been tested and confirmed that
the devices are working appropriately.
Some devices are still underdevelopment, please do understand that the contents may change without advanced notice.
Maker Serial Number Device ID Memo
PLANEX GW-USMicroN-G 2019:ED14
Logitec LAN-W150N/U2IPH 0789:0164

Buffalo WLI-UC-GNM 0411:01a2
Buffalo WLI-UC-G301N 0411:016f　 The performance of Baffalo WLI-UG-G301N is only confirmed as it is connected to AC powered hub.
Buffalo WLI-UC-GN 0411:015d
In this section, the explanation is specifically targeted at Baffalo's and Logitec's Wifi devices.
The driver, 2010_0831_RT3070_Linix_STA_v2.4.01_DPO.bz2, is downloaded from PALINK Web. The driver used here is
a Linux driver. Also, a firmware, RT28xx/RT30xx USB series (RT2870/RT2770/RT3572/RT3070) are required. To download
the source code and/or firmware, input user name and email address for downloading the files. Assume that the downloaded
files are placed at the directory of /home/beat/. toolchain used here is the same toolchain which is used for building kernel
and located at the directory of prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin. The firmware is modified for bc10. prebuilt image
does not produce any debug logs since a part of config.mk, which is located at the directory of os/linux/config.mk, is set as
WLAGS += -DCONFIG_STA_SUPPORT. As debug logs are not displayed, critical logs may be missed. Please be careful.
To produce debug logs, set up the part of config.mk as -WFLAGS += -DCONFIG_STA_SUPPORT -DDBG, then, rebuild
the source file and place the file again. During the redoing process, debug logs are output. There may be too many logs,
and these logs make to harder to work on this process.
To apply the patch, RT3070USB.diff, this becomes capable of cross-compile for bc10.
The contents of the patch are:
- Add the compile configuration for bc10 (platform, PATH of toolchain, and the configuration of compile frags.
- Set up the region of firmware to Japan, and change the examples of each section.
- Add USB Wifi vender ID and product ID.

Building SGX SDK †
Obtain TI Android SGX SDK as employing the same method as the process described at bc10/froyo.
(Caution):
- It may take long time to download the SDK.
- If you have already installed '''OMAP35x_Android_Graphics_SDK_3_01_00_03 for bc10/froyo, you can use the same SDK.
Make sure that the SDK is moved to the directory of Rules.make. If you download the file, please backup or remove the
original SDK as you wish.
- As whole kernel and/or Android userland are replaced, the whole rebuild of kernel and Android is required.

u-boot †
As u-boot-bc10 is updated, boot.scr , which makes AMOLED as the default value of display device is adjusted. After
the update is completed, the duration of waiting period at bc10's boot process is changed from 10 seconds to 2 seconds.
$ cd ~

The display configuration, which treats AMOLED as its default value, is written in the directory of include/configs/omap3_bc10.h.
This directory is located inside u-boot-bc10. Its details are shown below.

(Caustion)From "setenv bootargs2 to "disp=lcd", this is originally written in one line. As you apply this script,
please write in one line.
After the build process is completed, u-boot.bin is copied into the FAT partition. This is copied right after MOL file is copied.
To create SD card image, please look at the section of creating SD card image, shown below.
x-loader †
$ 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
$ make
The specifications and format of x-load.bin do not match with OMAP BootROMs. If x-load.bin is written into a SD card
without modification, it does not work as a boot loader. To solve this issue, x-load.bin is needed to be modified with signGP.
signGP can be downloaded from the address shown below.
http://beagleboard.googlecode.com/files/signGP
After the download is finished, execute sigGP is executed as it is defined below.
$ ./signGP x-load.bin
x-load.bin.ift, which is created after build is completed, is needed to change its name to MLO. MLO should be written into the top
of FAT partition of the SD card. The information of how to create the SD card image is available at the section below.
The prebuilt image is compressed files that we have built so far.
Order of placing prebuilt image †
prebuilt-image †
The rebuilt image can be created as following instructions described in the first half of this section, or the image is obtained
by downloading the prebuilt image from here.
The obtained file (created or downloaded) is placed at the HOME directory, /home/beat/.
Extract bc10-boot-sd-image—release20110107.tar.gz
FAT.tar.gz
EXT3.tar.gz
There are two archives in the file. As their names are indicated, please put these archives in FAT partition and EXT3 partition of
the targeted SD card, respectively.
The instructions of writing into these archives are described as it is followed.
Creating SD card image †
The creation of bootable SD card is following the instructions described in the section of Create bootable SD card at bc10/booting.
This instructions are strictly for SD card. bc10 cannot be booted from microSD card by its design. The structure of the SD card is
described below.
- FAT32 partition
- X-Loader
- U-Boot
- Linux kernel
- Linux partition
This working environment is expected to employ a Linux environment.
The working instruction is listed below.
- Initialization and configuration of partitions.
- Format file system
- Placement of files
The instructions are mainly from LinuxBootFormat (code.google.com) and modified for bc10.
Unmounting SD card †
To start working on partition and formatting, unmount the SD card, first, if the SD card is mounted.
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
...
/dev/sdc1 400M 94M 307M 24% /media/disk
...
unmount the SD card.
$ unmount /media/disk
Initializing and configuring partitions †
Execute fdiskcommand. Its parameter is the device file of the SD card. The directory shown below may differ, depending on your
working environment and the location of the SD card. Please check the directory of your SD card before starting working on this task.

Formatting filesystem †
Format the FAT32 partition and the Linux partition, individually. The first line of each command, FAT32 and EXT3 indicate
the labels of the partitions, respectively. You can replace “FAT32” and “EXT3” with the names of partitions depending on
your preference.
This is for FAT32 partition. At the end of the first line, “FAT32” indicates the name of partition, you can label the name
whatever you like.
$ [sudo mkfs.msdos -F 32 /dev/sdc1 -n FAT32]
mkfs.msdos 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
This is for Linux partition. At the first command line, “EXT3” (the capital letters) suggest that the location of the partition
name. It can be replaced with own partition name.

Placing prebuilt-image file †
Putting MLO into FAT32 partition †
To place the file in FAT32 partition, there are some restrictions. Please follow the instruction carefully. The archive is
extracted at the working environment.
$ [tar xvfz FAT.tar.gz]
The extracted archive contains a file.
$ ls FAT.tar.gz
MLO u-boot.bin uImage
Since X-Loader (MLO) is the first boot loader, there are strict order to place the file to the SD card. Please follow the
instructions, carefully.
Placing files into EXT3 partition †
There are no specific restriction for placing the created files. The archive is extracted on the SD card.
$ [sudo tar xvfz ext3.tar.gz -C /media/EXT3]
This is the end of transferring the prebuild image onto the SD Card.
To do sync for saving all changes, then unmount the SD card.
$ [sudo sync]
$ [unmount /media/EXT3]
$ [unmount/ media/FAT32]
Booting from SD card †
To insert the prepared SD card into the SD card slot of bc10, turn on power supply. For the first time booting, DB is made for
setting up SQLite and Dalvik EXecutable.dat is created. These newly created information is written into bootable disk.
Thus, the first time booting takes a lttle longer than usual.
Supplements †
Key assignment †
There are seven buttons on the right hand side of bc10 (seven buttons on each side, and totally 14 buttons).
As Picture a is indicated, each button has been pre-assigned for a different task. To change the program, the assignment of
each key is also altered.
(In the picture, the enclosure of bc10 is a prototype.)

About Android SGX †
As explaining at the last line of init.rc, SGX functions remain effective. To make SGX ineffective, please comment out
the lines of commands. As kernel and/or userland are updated or modified, not only kernel and/or userland, but also GSX are needed
to be rebuild.
$ vi init.rc
# Start PowerVR SGX DDK
service pvr /system/bin/sgx/rc.pvr start
Order of configuring bc10 Wifi †
As Android is not capable of control on/off function of wifi over its GUI, apply insmod and netcfg commands to check
the working status of wifi functionality. This wifi configuration method is only applicable the devices, which is equipped with
RT3070USB driver.

About USB Wifi (RT3070USB) driver †
The prebuilt image is built with += -DCONFIG_STA_SUPPORT. Under this configuration, debug logs are not output and critical logs
are
not obtainable. The original file is put under the directory of os/linux/config.mk. This file is configured as
WFLAGS += -DCONFIG_STA_SPPORT -DDBG
and produces more than adequate amounts of debug logs. Since a lot of debug logs are issued, it may be difficult to work under the original setting.
$ vi os/linux/config.mk
# config for STA mode
ifeq ($(RT28xx_MODE),STA)
WFLAGS += -DCONFIG_STA_SUPPORT -DDBG
Also, a debugged and printed version of rt3370sta.ko, rt3370sta.gz is available at the URL below. To use this file, download
the file, and replace the original, which is located at the directory of /system/lib/modules/. The name of the original file is
the same as new one.
http://sourceforge.jp/projects/bc10-dev/releases/50494/
The log shown below is a real log, which is displayed on a serial console. This log is generated as '''RT3070USB is inserted
and insmod rt3370sta.ko is executed.

About boot.scr †
Due to update u-boot-bc10, the initial value, which treats AMOLED as the display device, is already written under the directory of
include/configs/omap3_bc10h. Therefore boot.scr is not included the newer version of u-boot-bc10
To copy the contents of the original boot.scr to the newer boot.scr, it can is possible to boot the bc10. In this case, configuration of
u-boot.bin is written over on the configuration of boot.scr, then, bc20 is booted. The script blow is used for creating a boot.scr,
which makes AMOLED the default value for display device.
$ cd ~
$ vi boot.script
