CM-FX6: Linux: Kernel
Contents
Overview
The Linux kernel for the CompuLab CM-FX6 System-on-Module / Computer-on-Module provides support for on-board peripherals and abstracts the functionality provided by the hardware.
Current support coverage is specified at O/S support coverage map page.
CompuLab provides ready-to-run binary kernel images, and source code of the modifications and additions made to the Linux kernel to work properly with CM-FX6 modules.
Building kernel for CM-FX6
|
The instructions below assume that the /home/development/CM-FX6 directory has been created for CM-FX6 kernel development. |
Getting kernel sources
Linux git tree can be cloned or downloaded as a tarball from Freescale public git repository.
Snapshot download
- Download linux-2.6-imx-rel_imx_4.1.15_1.1.0_ga.tar.bz2.
- Extrace the kernel source code from the downloaded archive linux-2.6-imx-rel_imx_4.1.15_1.1.0_ga.tar.bz2
cd /home/development/CM-FX6 wget http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/snapshot/linux-2.6-imx-rel_imx_4.1.15_1.1.0_ga.tar.bz2 tar -xvf linux-2.6-imx-rel_imx_4.1.15_1.1.0_ga.tar.bz2 mv linux-2.6-imx-rel_imx_4.1.15_1.1.0_ga kernel
- Apply the CM-FX6 patch.
cd /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel patch -p1 < /path/to/CM-FX6/kernel/linux-4.1.15-cm-fx6-8.0.patch
Git clone
- Install git version control system.
- Create a clone of the CM-FX6 Linux kernel tree
cd /home/development/CM-FX6/ git clone git://git.freescale.com/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git mv linux-2.6-imx kernel cd /home/development/CM-FX6/kerel
- Apply the CM-FX6 patch. Create a development branch and apply CompuLab patches.
git checkout -b development rel_imx_4.1.15_1.1.0_ga git am /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/patches/*.patch
Building the kernel
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-eabi-
export DTB=$(ls -al arch/arm/boot/dts | awk '(/fx6.*dts$/)&&($0=$NF)&&(gsub(/dts/,"dtb"))' ORS=" ")
make cm_fx6_defconfig
make menuconfig
make zImage modules ${DTB} && INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/home/development/CM-FX6/rootfs make modules_install
In the example above:
- Linux kernel image (zImage) will be created in /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/arch/arm/boot
- device tree blobs will be created in /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/arch/arm/boot/dts
- loadable kernel modules will be installed into the /home/development/CM-FX6/rootfs/lib/modules directory.
When the CM-FX6 is booted with the kernel image created as described above and with networked root filesystem at /home/development/CM-FX6/rootfs/, the system will be able to load the kernel modules properly, thus avoiding module version problems.
zImage, DTB files and modules locations
- In the example above, the Linux kernel image (zImage) will be created in the /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/arch/arm/boot directory.
ls -al /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage
- DTB files
ls -al /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/arch/arm/boot/dtb/*fx6*.dtb
- The loadable kernel modules will be installed into the /home/development/CM-FX6/rootfs/lib/modules directory.
ls -al /home/development/CM-FX6/rootfs/lib/modules
Kernel Version
- In the example above, the Linux kernel release version number will be saved in /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/include/config/kernel.release
cat /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/include/config/kernel.release
Prepare kernel and modules tarball
- In the example below, the Linux kernel and modules are packed into the tar archive for deploying onto the CM-FX6.
mkdir -p /home/development/CM-FX6/rootfs/boot cp -v /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage /home/development/CM-FX6/rootfs/boot/zImage-cm-fx6 cp -v /home/development/CM-FX6/kernel/arch/arm/boot/dtb/*fx6*.dtb /home/development/CM-FX6/rootfs/boot/ tar -C /home/development/CM-FX6/rootfs -czvf /home/development/CM-FX6/linux-image-CM-FX6.tar.gz .
Basic platform support
The CM-FX6 basic platform support is implemented in the arch/arm/boot/dts/*fx6* files of the Linux kernel source tree.
These files contain:
- default setup of multi-functional pins;
- registration of the devices integrated in the CM-FX6 module;
- definitions of platform-specific configuration for these devices.
Deploying the CM-FX6 kernel and modules
Boot up the CM-FX6 computer. Copy the previously created linux-image-CM-FX6.tar.gz to /root directory of the CM-FX6.
Mount boot partition
- Use the below command to mount the boot partition for installing the CM-FX6 Linux kernel binary:
boot_partition=$(awk '!/nfs/ { for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) { if($i~/^root=/) { print substr($i,6,length($i)-6)"1" } } }' /proc/cmdline)
mount $boot_partition /boot
Back up old kernel
- It is essential to backup the old (known to work) kernel binary.
mkdir /boot/$(uname -r) mv /boot/uImage-cm-fx6 /boot/zImage-cm-fx6 /boot/*.dtb /boot/$(uname -r)/
Installing kernel and modules
Assuming that the linux-image-CM-FX6.tar.gz tar ball has been copied to the CM-FX6 /root directory.
- Extract and install the Linux kernel binary:
tar -C / -xvf /root/linux-image-CM-FX6.tar.gz
