ARM/Creating ARM image using MIC2
Contents |
* Fedora 12
* mkfs.ubifs, ubinize and meego-arm-static from meego-tools repositories (install instructions below).
* MeeGo Image Creator from git
* requires git-core (# yum install git-core)
NOTE: Fedora has its own mtd-utils package, but that does not include the required tools for ubi creation.
NOTE: You need both of the repositories below for Fedora 12 because some packages are only available in Fedora 11 currently.
Add following lines to for example /etc/yum.repos.d/meego-tools.repo
[meego-tools-f12] name=Meego tools F12 failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://repo.meego.com/tools/repos/fedora/12/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 [meego-tools-f11] name=Meego tools F11 failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://repo.meego.com/tools/repos/fedora/11/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
Install the required package:
yum install mtd-utils mtd-utils-ubi qemu-arm-static
If Git version control system or make are missing those can be installed with commands:
yum install git yum install make
Git clone the Meego Image Creator sources to temporary directory and install the codes:
git clone git://gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/image-creator.git cd image-creator sudo tools/mic-check-alldeps ./autogen.sh ./configure make clean make sudo make install cd ..
Create a working directory and copy your kickstart file there. Sample kickstart files can be found here. In the working directory run either of the following commands as root:
Image will be created in working directory.
Packages will be cached in mycachedir to speed up the next image creation.
If you are behind a proxy, you can set it to mic by adding
proxy=http://proxy.yourcompany.com:8080
to /etc/mic2/mic2.conf.
sudo mic-image-creator --run-mode=0 --cache=mycachedir --format=ubi --arch=armv5tel --config=YOUR_KICKSTART
sudo mic-image-creator --run-mode=0 --cache=mycachedir --format=loop --arch=armv5tel --config=YOUR_KICKSTART
Raw images are ment to be put to for example external MMC card. Because we need kernel to be flashed seperately to the N900 device, you should insert following code block to the %post --nochroot section of your kickstart file. If this %post --nochroot section does not exist add it after the %post section:
KERNEL_VERSION=`ls -1 $INSTALL_ROOT/boot/vmlinuz* | tail -1 | xargs basename | cut --complement -b 1-8` cp $INSTALL_ROOT/boot/vmlinuz-$KERNEL_VERSION $IMG_NAME-vmlinuz-$KERNEL_VERSION
After this you can create the image with following command
sudo mic-image-creator --run-mode=0 --cache=mycachedir --format=raw --arch=armv5tel --config=YOUR_KICKSTART
You will get a directory which ends with -raw suffix and file that includes vmlinuz in its name. The directory contains the *.raw file that is put to the memory card and vmlinuz is put to the N900 with flasher.

This is caused by SELinux, which can be disabled with:
echo "0" > /selinux/enforce
This fix is valid until you reboot your device.
