Note: The development host should use ubuntu 12.04.5 x86-64(desktop and server version are available),Using other distribution of Linux and other versions of Ubuntu may encounter unnecessary problems

操作说明 (operation instruction)

1)文档中以“$”开头的行,其后是Linux命令。
The line in the document which begins with “$”,which is followed by the Linux command.
2)文档中所有的Linux命令建议手动输入到Linux主机执行(直接复制、粘贴到Linux主机上执行,可能会执行失败)。
All the Linux commands in the document are recommended to be entered into the host manually for execution.(Copying ,pasting to the host directly to execute may fail)
3)文档中的Linux执行命令,如果空格后的下一个字符是“-”的(如:sudo apt-get –y install之类的),请手动输入到Linux主机执行(直接复制、粘贴到Linux主机上执行,通常会执行失败)。
In all the Linux execution commands of the document,if the next character after the space is "-",(example:sudo apt-get –y install),please enter into Linux host to execute manually.(Copying ,pasting to the host directly to execute may fail )
4)文档中所有一行没写完的Linux命令请手动输入到Linux主机执行,(因为复制、粘贴命令不能包含类似“换行符”之类的特殊字符)。
any line of Linux commands whichi is not finished is recommended to be entered into the host for execution. (Because copy or paste commands cannot contain special character such as "line breaks")
5)按文档输入并执行Linux命令时注意观察命令的执行结果与文档图片中的是否一致,以确认命令是否输入有误及是否执行失败。
Note whether the execution result is consistent with the document image when you enter and execute the command. check the command was entered incorrectly or failed to execute.
6)第一遍编译请严格按照文档进行,否则可能出现莫名其妙的错误。
Please follow the document strictly to compile for the first time.Otherwise ,there may be unexpected error


截图说明(screenshots instruction)

为使视图看起来简洁整齐,截图中的命令提示符统一使用myzr$。
To make the view look neat and tidy , the command prompt in the screenshot should use myzr$ uniformly

图片中的Linux命令(Linux command in the image)

在文档的图片中观察“linyn@u12045-serv:~$”开头的行可以直观的看到输入的linux命令。
In the image of the document, you can see the input Linux command visually from the lines that start with “linyn@u12045-serv:~$”。

IMX28 2635 build 4.1.0.2.png

U-Boot编译(U-Boot compilation)


准备编译(prepare compilation)

复制源码包到开发主机中(copy source code package to development host)

将下载的“u-boot源码”复制到Linux开发主机的“~/my-imx28/02_source”。
copy“u-boot source code”downloaded to “~/my-imx28/02_source”of Linux development host
这一步自己采取相应的方式完成。
this step should be done in your own way

解压u-boot源码包(decompress u-boot source code)

$ cd ~/my-imx28/02_source/
$ tar jxf u-boot-2009.08.tar.bz2
$ tar jxf imx-bootlets-src-10.12.01.tar.bz2
IMX28 2635 build 5.1.2.1.png

编译(compile)

使编译配置文件生效(validate configured file of compilation)

$ source ~/my-imx28/03_tools/gcc-4.4.4-glibc-2.11.1-multilib-env
IMX28 2635 build 5.2.1.1.png

进入u-boot源码目录(enter u-boot source code directory)

(CPU type--momery capacity)
对应的u-boot配置
(corresponding configuration of u-boot)
MY-IMX28-EVK MX283/7, 128M mx28_evk_config
  • MY-IMX28-EVK配置示例:

example for configuration of MY-IMX28-EVK
$ make mx28_evk_config
IMX28 2635 build 5.2.4.1.png

执行编译(execute compilation)

$ make
提示:这里为了提高编译速度,在make后面加了“-j4”。这里编译的Linux主机是双核4线程的,所以“-j”后面用了4,也就是采用4线程编译。“-j”后面的数字可以根据系统资源分配,但是不应该超过编译主机最大支持的线程数。
Tips:To speed up the compilation,add "-j4" after make.The Linux host used to compile is dual-core ,4 threads .So "-j" is followed by 4, which takes 4 threads to compile. The number behind "-j" is allocated based on system resources,but It should not exceed the maximum threads the host support.
IMX28 2635 build 5.2.5.1.png

  • 编译imx28_ivt_uboot.sb

compile imx28_ivt_uboot.sb

SPI接口为半双工模式,这里你只测发,通过示波器可观察到波形。方法一只发送0x55和0x75;方法二是发送字符串”myzr“。
SPI interface is half duplex mode,here you only test sending,you can view the wave shape through oscilloscope,one way is to send 0x55 and 0x75,another way is to send charater string ”myzr“

watdog测试(watdog test)

“看门狗”,全称Watchdog timer,是一个在软件出错的时候可以复位计算机系统的硬件定时器。通常一个用户空间守护进程会在正常的时间间隔内通过/dev/watchdog 特殊设备文件来通知内核的Watchdog驱动,用户空间一切正常。如果用户空间出现问题(如RAM 错误,内核BUG 等),则通知将会停止,然后硬件Watchdog 将在超时后复位系统。
"watchdog",the full name is Watchdog timer,is a hardware timer which can reset system of computer when there is an error in software.ususally in a normal time interval during a guading process of a user space,booting of Watchdog will be noticed to kernel through sepcial device file of /dev/watchdog,then everything in the user space is normal.

测试程序中打开/dev/watchdog 设备文件,启动了Watchdog,每过一秒钟喂狗一次,系统不会重启。
open device file of /dev/watchdog in the test programme,start Watchdog,feed dog once a second,system won't reboot

测试程序中打开了/dev/watchdog 设备文件,启动Watchdog,程序进入循环状态,由于没有喂狗,30 秒后系统复位。
open device file of /dev/watchdog in the test programme,programme come into the cyccling condition,since there is not dog feeding,system will be resetted after 30 seconds
