In order to install the distribution that comes with the Diax HBS1's follow these guidlines.
Log in as root.
$ # ensure that your envronment is up to date $ yum install gcc binutils gzip make diffutils bison flex libncurses-devel zlib $ # to eliminate some constraints built in the built system make a symbolic link for sed in /usr/bin $ ln -s /bin/sed /usr/bin/sed $ # make a directory to work in, e.g. /home/eml1 $ mkdir -p /home/eml1/Diax-CD $ cd /home/eml1/Diax-CD $ # copy the distribution CD from bren $ scp -r <your login>@bren.hih.au.dk:/home/eml/ .
A directory named Diax-Cd is created. In the build directory are the software.
$ cd Diax-CD $ # unpack the arm-elf tools $ sh build/arm-elf-tools-base-gcc3.4.0-20090114.sh $ # unpack the uBoot $ tar xzf build/u-boot-1.1.2-hbs1.tar.gz $ # unpack the uClinux distribution $ tar xzf build/uClinux-dist-20101107.tgz $ # compile the uBoot $ cd ../u-boot-1.1.2 $ sh build.sh $ cd .. $ # compile the uClinux $ cd uClinux-dist $ make menuconfig $ # Just exit immediately $ sh build.sh $ # Hit return when the compilations stops and you're asked a question
Configure the tftp server by following these instructions: Tftp
Copy the compiled packages to the tftp server. Hint: Can be built in the build.sh script in the uClinux distribution
$ cp images/uimage.gz images/uromfs.gz /tftpboot
We have had an enormous amount of trouble getting the distribution to load on the boards.
Jeppe may have an solution - it worked for the HBS's we checked the other day:
Edit the uClinx-dist/build.sh file and change in the second last line the symbol ${RD_ADDR} to 0x200000 - it looks as if the Linux image takes up a little more space than expected, so the filesystem image is moved to a higher address in the Flash.
