판다보드에 linaro os 설치 (ubuntu에서)

Recently we have been setting up the Pandaboard with Android to get started with Embedded System Development.

In this first post we would like to share of what steps were necessary to set up the build environment, Android source from Linaro and toolchain to get started on an Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit machine.

Android Build and Version: Linaro Android Build, 4.1.1 Jellybean
Host Machine: Lenovo T420, Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit
Hardware Target: Pandaboard
Deployment Target: SD-Card

Please note that since the Android ICS release, the Android Source can (sadly) only be built on a 64 bit OS, without the need to do workarounds.

Setting up the build environment

Before you can get started to build the Android Source code and Kernel, you need to set up the build environment properly. Part of this is installing packages from the Ubuntu repositories (for instance build tools like make and host side gcc etc.) and also the java version (from sun/oracle) which cannot be found in the current Ubuntu repositories.

Also we recommend you set up some primary build workspace for instance in “/opt/android/”. If you are new to Ubuntu and the Bash you will find countless excellent tutorials in the net. For this guide you should already be familiar with the command line and some of Linux most prominent tools.

Let’s get started

We assume you are user user on a machine host.

First of all grab a terminal on you Host machine either by finding it in the start menu or by hitting ctrl+alt+t.

Now let’s set up some workspace for our source in the /opt directory.

user@host:~$ sudo mkdir /opt/android
user@host:~$ sudo chown -R user.user /opt/android
user@host:~$ cd /opt/android
user@host:/opt/android$ 

Following the guide on the source.android.com site we set up the packages required for building android.

user@host:/opt/android$ sudo apt-get install -f git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5-dev

Also we need some additional packages for debugging over the serial console and to set up the bootloader for android.

user@host:/opt/android$ sudo apt-get install minicom
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo apt-get install u-boot-tools

At some point we noticed some libraries had problems installing. Be sure to do this command after installing all the packages…

user@host:/opt/android$ sudo apt-get install -f

That should do it.

For the next part: It turns out the Linaro Build compiles fine with just OpenJDK. If you do have the OpenJDK already installed you can skip this part and go to Fetching the Android Source Code.

user@host:/opt/android$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.5) (6b24-1.11.5-0ubuntu1~12.10.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

Now we need to install java. This is a tricky part, since it used to be much easier to do this in Ubuntu a while back. As far as we know Oracle forced Canonical to take down the binaries of java from their repositories. What a shame …
For the setup we configured the java installation by hand.

Navigate here and select the .bin of the 64 bit download (jre-6u34-linux-x64.bin). Because they seem very interested of who downloads their java they want you to register on their website. We actually did not try to build the source with iced-tea java, so we do not know if that works as well. However we cannot wait to be able to skip oracle’s java for building android.

As soon as you grabbed the binary you can do the following to install it and let Ubuntu know where to find all the commands.

user@host:~/Downloads$ chmod a+x jre-6u34-linux-x64.bin
user@host:~/Downloads$ mv jre-6u34-linux-x64.bin /opt/android && cd /opt/android
user@host:/opt/android$ ./jre-6u34-linux-x64.bin
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/opt/android/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/java" 1
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/opt/android/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/javac" 1
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" user@host:/opt/android$ "/opt/android/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/javaws" 1
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws

To be sure check what happens if you execute the “java” command and check the version with “java -version”. The output should look something like this:

user@host:/opt/android$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_34"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_34-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.9-b04, mixed mode)

Fetching the Android Source Code

For this step you should probably get a few cups of coffee ready since depending on your network connection it might take quite a while.
First you need to fetch “repo” which is a tool that helps you to keep track of all the necessary Android GIT repositories (GIT is by the way awesome, you should look into it if you have not done that already).

user@host:/opt/android$ mkdir ~/bin/
user@host:/opt/android$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
user@host:/opt/android$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Before we fetch the source code we also fetch the Linaro toolchain which is needed to cross compile the Android source code. Also we install the linaro image tools to deploy the Android/Kernel/uBoot images to the SD-Card once built.

Note: Before you do the next two steps, decide which build version you want to use. Have a look at the build version table for the latest releases.

user@host:/opt/android$  wget http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/~linaro-android/toolchain-4.7-2012.10/1/android-toolchain-eabi-linaro-4.7-2012.10-1-2012-10-15_16-19-17-linux-x86.tar.bz2
user@host:/opt/android$ tar -xvf android-toolchain-eabi-linaro-4.7-2012.10-1-2012-10-15_16-19-17-linux-x86.tar.bz2
user@host:/opt/android$ sudo apt-get install linaro-image-tools

At this point we create a “source” subdirectory and start fetching the Android source code from the Linaro repository.

user@host:/opt/android$ mkdir source && cd source
user@host:/opt/android$ repo init -u git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git -b linaro-android-12.10-release -m staging-panda.xml
user@host:/opt/android$ repo sync

The upper commands may differ from what version you are using.

Building the Source Code

As soon as the source is downloaded you are ready to give it a first build. In the source directory do the following to start building for the pandaboard:

user@host:/opt/android/source$ . build/envsetup.sh
user@host:/opt/android/source$ choosecombo 1 pandaboard 3
user@host:/opt/android/source$ make -j4 TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX=../android-toolchain-eabi/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- boottarball systemtarball userdatatarball

Make sure though that the toolchain is actually in the folder “/opt/android/android-toolchain-eabi”.

Now depending on if your package installation process from the beginning was successful or not, the build will complete successfully and output three tarballs (boot.tar.bz2, system.tar.bz2 and userdata.tar.bz2).

If the build is not successful then go back to the start of the guide and make sure ALL your packages install correctly (if apt throws errors just do a “sudo apt-get install -f” with no packages as arguments).

After completion of compiling source code (the kernel was compiled as well with the command before) you should now format an SD card and deploy the images.

If you are using GNOME (if you are not sure that you are then you ARE using GNOME ), then you also need to do a few tricks so the SD-Partitioning runs without problems. Linaro has just updated their deployment guide recently for this.

user@host:/opt/android/source$ TMP1=$(dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount)
user@host:/opt/android/source$ TMP2=$(dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open)
user@host:/opt/android/source$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount false
user@host:/opt/android/source$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open false

The above steps are currently untested, but we trust that the guys did a good job on this

Now insert you SD-Card into your card-reader. Check with “sudo fdisk -l” which devices are available for you. Be really careful here to not pick the wrong device, since all contents of the chosen one will be DELETED irrecoverably.

So if your SD-Card is on “/dev/mmcblk0″ then you would do the following command. Note that depending on your SD-Card Reader it is possible the device is found under “/dev/sdX”.

user@host:/opt/android/source$ cd out/target/product/pandaboard
user@host:/opt/android/source/out/target/product/pandaboard$ linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/mmcblk0 --dev panda --boot boot.tar.bz2 --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2

During this time the SD-Card is being formated and partitioned properly. We had sometimes difficulties on some hosts with running this script, however, the automount trick should fix the issue.

Now restart the automount feature of gnome

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount $TMP1
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/automount-open $TMP2

The last thing we need to do is to install the proprietary drivers of the OEM for the Pandaboard. This is done by grabbing the binaries and pushing them to the system partition of the SD-Card.

For this purpose remove the SD-Card and Plug it back in after re-enabling the automount feature of gnome.

The second partition of your SD-Card holds the contents of the “system” image. In our case this was /dev/mmcblk0p2, it might differ for you depending on your SD-Card reader it could be something like /dev/sdXp2 as well.

user@host:/opt/android/source/out/target/product/pandaboard$ wget http://people.linaro.org/~vishalbhoj/install-binaries-4.0.4.sh
user@host:/opt/android/source/out/target/product/pandaboard$ chmod a+x install-binaries-4.0.4.sh
user@host:/opt/android/source/out/target/product/pandaboard$ ./install-binaries-4.0.4.sh dev/mmcblk0p2

You are almost done. Be sure to ALWAYS do a “sync” and an “umount” BEFORE you remove your SD-Card. Doing otherwise can screw up your files!

user@host:/opt/android/source/out/target/product/pandaboard$ sync
user@host:/opt/android/source/out/target/product/pandaboard$ sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0

Now put your SD-Card into your Pandaboard and see it booting.

Console via USB-Serial Converter

For debugging you can now use minicom. To do so, hook up your USB-Serial converter to your Beagleboard and on the host run minicom.

In the config go to “Serial port setup” then press “a” and change the device according to your serial device node (“/dev/ttyUSB0″ or something), then press ENTER to confirm and hit “f” to disable hardware flow control. Now hit ENTER twice and select “save setup as panda”.

user@host:/opt/android/source/out/target/product/pandaboard$ sudo minicom -s panda

Exit the terminal at any time using “ctrl+a, z, q” and reconnect with your new config using

user@host:/opt/android/source/out/target/product/pandaboard$ sudo minicom panda

You should now be able to start with the real fun. You downloaded and compiled the Android source and set up the SD-Card for deployment.
