* Creating build environment. [#x0ec48e1]
>
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
>
COLOR(red){Android 2.3 (Gingerbread ) or newer versions needs a 64bit development environment}
>
This section follows the instructions of [[“Setting up your machine":http://source.android.com/source/download.html]] at “Getting the Source” page of Android Open Source Project.
** java6 [#n3a03865]
>
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
** Installing package [#c7003686]
> 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
* Obtaining android source [#v10768d1]
** Configuration of repository [#fb6bdf27]
>
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/repo
To 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
** Initializing repo [#y49a659f]
>
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
** repo sync [#sdbc84d2]
>
After executing '''repo init''', run '''repo sync'''. Then, download the source code of a android.
$ repo sync
The size of file is roughly 5GB. It takes time to download the file, and its duration highly depends on the speed of network.
* Building kernel [#w24fb237]
>
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.
** Configuring environment variable [#qec3688f]
>
'''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-
** kernel [#t6985412]
>
$ 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
* Building USB Wifi (RT3070USB) driver [#kb9d6a8a]
>
To use an USB Wifi device, install the drivers for RT3070USB.~
The devices that have confirmed to work with bc10 are listed below.

| Buffalo | [[WLI-UC-GN>http://buffalo.jp/products/catalog/network/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.

$ cp ~/2.3-patches/external-wpa_supplicant_6.diff .
$ patch -p1 < external-wpa_supplicant_6.diff
** ti omap3 [#rfed05e3]
>
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
** Placing USB Wifi driver [#n368aeb1]

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.

In this example, the setting of directories are determined at the build configuration. “ANDROID_ROOT” is relevant to the location of bc10-image directory.~
After '''Rules.make''' are modified, execute '''make''' and '''make install'''.
$ make
$ make OMAPES=3.x install

Because of updating, '''u-boot-bc10''' is modified for including the configuration of '''boot.scr''' whose default value of display device is AMOLED. At booting period, the waiting time of '''u-boot shell''' is changed form 10 seconds to 2 seconds. To apply commands below, obtain the source code and built it.
$ cd ~/
$ git clone git://gitorious.org/bc10/u-boot-bc10.git u-boot-bc10
$ cd u-boot-bc10/
$ make mrproper
$ make omap3_bc10_config
$ make
The configuration, which treats AMOLED as the default value of display device, is placed under the directory of '''u-boot-bc10/include/configs/omap3_bc10.h'''.
u-boot-bc10/include/configs$ vi omap3_bc10.h
#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \

"nandroot=/dev/mtdblock4 rw\0" \
This resembles the configuration of '''boot.scr'''.

After the build process is finished, '''u-boot.bin''' is copied at the FAT partition of the targeted SD card. The copy must have done after MOL file is copied. (MLO must be copied to FAT partition first.) For the details of creation of SD card, please look at the section of “Creating a bootable SD card”, which is listed below.
** x-loader [#g0060a3a]
>
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
$ make
Since 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.bin
'''x-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
* Creating bootable SD card [#f89b7d91]
>
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.
** Unmounting SD card [#a30435c3]
>
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
** Initializing and configuring partition [#z1d7338f]
>
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.

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

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.
** Put files on EXT3 partition [#zf034ce1]
>
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
* Booting from SD card [#l3ca8110]
>
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 creates'''SQLite''' configuration DB and Dalvik Executable (.dex) file and writes on the hard drive.~

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.~
