[[bc10/Software]] - Contents #contents * Summary [#edd10439] >This section explains the building process of U-Boot, which is used as second bootloader as bc10 starts booting up. This~ building process is originally created for BeagleBoard. Since bc10 is a clone of BeagleBoard, the original building method~ can be used for bc10's U-Boot. The boot process of bc10 and the installation of U-Boot are discussed at [[bc10/booting]].~ * Building U-Boot [#n55aef00] ** Development Environment [#mf98afa2] > -Make ready toolchain for bc10.~ -Test whether the toolchains are already built or not.~ -- [[OpenEmbedded Linux toolchain>bc10/OpenEmbedded Linux]] (arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-), which is wildly used for the development~ environment of BeagleBoard.~ -- [[rowboat toolchain>bc10/rowboat]] (arm-eabi-), which is employed at rowboat, Android project for OMAP35x. -- CodeSourcery arm GNU/Linux toolchain (arm-none-linux-gnueabi-), which is developed at CodeSourcery. ** Setting up Environment Variable [#sde19976] *** OpenEmbedded Toolchain [#fbb7fed4] > Make sure that the development environment is already installed into the host environment before toolchain of~ OpenEmbedded Linux is used. The information of setting of the OpenEmbedded development environment is available~ at [[bc10/OpenEmbedded Linux]].~ To use the toolchain, configure the environment variable.~ export PATH=${WORK_DIR}/OE/angstrom-dev/cross/armv7a/bin:${PATH} export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- *** rowboat toolchain [#yc5ba812] > Please install the rowboat development environment before rowboat's toolchain s is used. For more information about~ setting the development environment for rowboat, please look at [[bc10/rowboat]]. To use the toolchain, set up the~ environment variable.~ export PATH=${WORK_DIR}/rowboat-eclair-dsp/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin:${PATH} export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- ** Obtain source code [#z5d51637] > Obtain the source code for bc10 specific U-Boot from git repository.~ git clone git://gitorious.org/bc10/u-boot-bc10.git u-boot-bc10 cd u-boot-bc10 git checkout -t -b build origin/build ~ Get the source code from the git repository.~ git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git u-boot-main cd u-boot-main git checkout --track -b omap3 origin/master ** Build [#b149a04f] > To use OpenEmbedded toolchain, cross-build U-Boot, which is specifically modified for bc10. make mrproper make omap3_bc10_config make ~ To apply OpenEmbedded toolchain, cross-build U-Boot for OMAP3 devices in general. make mrproper make omap3_beagle_config make As the build process is successfully completed, '''u-boot.bin''' is produced.~ For more information about placing U-Boot into SD Card, please visit at [[bc10/booting]].~ * Reference [#a3a50b2c] > -[[U-Boot (www.denx.de):http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/WebHome]] * Revision History [#qae88f9d] > 2010/07/23 Initial release~ 2010/09/16 Add bc10 specific source code repository and build process~
