Introduction

PLEASE NOTE: This page is currently under construction!

The following page describes how to create a bootable Meego image for the OMAP4 based Pandaboard. More information on this board can be found at pandaboard.org

Currently, running Meego on the Panda requires that the u-boot and Linux kernel are built by hand. We are working to get these packages into the OBS, and will keep this page updated.

Additionally, the image creation steps are also manual, owing to the very particular CHS requirements of the OMAP4 boards (255 heads/63 sectors). This issue is being discussed within the #meego-arm community.

Build

u-boot

cd ${PANDASOURCE}/u-boot
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omap4430panda_config
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

kernel

cd ${PANDASOURCE}/kernel-omap4
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm omap2plus_defconfig

Make Bootable SD Card

Format SD

Reference http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/SD_Configuration to format SD card. Insert formated bootable SD card, /media/boot & /media/rootfs should be mounted automatically, assuming you are logged in graphically.

Install binaries to ${PANDAFS}

# kernel modules
(cd ${PANDASOURCE}/linux-meego-panda ; sudo PATH=${PATH} make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm INSTALL_MOD_PATH=${PANDAFS} modules_install)
# 00-device-omapfb.conf
sudo cp ${PANDASOURCE}/00-device-omapfb.conf ${PANDAFS}/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
# OMAP44xx SGX SDK
# TI have not yet released OMAP44xx SGX SDK publicly.

Install binaries to SD

cp ${PANDAFS}/boot/MLO /media/boot
cp ${PANDASOURCE}/u-boot/u-boot.bin /media/boot
cp ${PANDASOURCE}/kernel-omap4/arch/arm/boot/uImage /media/boot
sudo cp -rfp ${PANDAFS}/* /media/rootfs
