Note : All steps are executed on the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and as a root user. Most of the steps are similar Robert C Nelson BBB Wiki.

Basic Requirements

ARM Cross Compiler : Linaro: https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries
Bootloader Das U-Boot : The Universal Boot Loader http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot
- Source : http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=summary
Linux Kernel
- Linus's Mainline tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=summary
- Linux omap tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git
- Arago Project TI Staging tree: http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=linux-am33x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/v3.2-staging
ARM based rootfs
Debian Squeeze: http://www.debian.org/

ARM cross compiler linaro gcc (~/)

Download and extract the ARM Cross compiler linaro gcc . Supposedly we mark that directory as root (~/)

wget -c https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/trunk/2013.10/+download/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.10_linux.tar.xz
tar xJf gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.10_linux.tar.xz
export CC='pwd'/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.10_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

Test the version of the gcc path set above to verify it will work

${CC}gcc –version
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.8-2013.10 - Linaro GCC 2013.10) 4.8.2 20131014 (prerelease)
Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

if the above test fails, verify that you have 32bit libraries installed on your development system , and execute following :

 apt-get install lbs
 apt-get install ia32-libs

Bootloader U-boot (~/)

Bootloader used is Das U-Boot, and its works like charm. Das U-Boot -- the Universal Boot Loader http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot

Download:

~/
git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
cd u-boot/
git checkout v2013.10 -b tmp

Patches: After cloning git takes you to the u-boot directory of the working directory, else go to the u-boot directory

~/u-boot
wget https://raw.github.com/eewiki/u-boot-patches/master/v2013.10/0001-am335x_evm-uEnv.txt-bootz-n-fixes.patch
patch -p1 < 0001-am335x_evm-uEnv.txt-bootz-n-fixes.patch

Configure and Build:

~/u-boot
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} distclean
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} am335x_evm_config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC}

Upgrade distro "device-tree-compiler" package

 (~/) {In the working directory}
wget -c https://raw.github.com/RobertCNelson/tools/master/pkgs/dtc.sh
chmod +x dtc.sh
./dtc.sh

Linux kernel (~/)

We follow RobertCNelson branch of the kernel. For more details, please go to BBB-RobertCNelson-Main Wiki

Git setup and Kernel Compile

git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev.git
cd linux-dev/

checkout v3.8.xbranch (full cape support) There are other versions,check here BBB-RobertCNelson-Main Wiki

git checkout origin/am335x-v3.8 -b eewiki

Now setup the git and compile the kernel

apt-get update
apt-get install device-tree-compiler lzma lzop u-boot-tools libncurses5-dev
git config --global user.name "username"
git config --global user.email "useremailid"
./build_kernel.sh

Add USB and PPS driver

While compiling for first time, LINUX_GIT is set by default(check its path in build_kernel.sh and /tools/rebuild.sh). Set it to 'pwd'/linux-dev/ignore/linux-src/ in build_kernel.sh and /tools/rebuild.sh, so use following for later use:

export LINUX_GIT='pwd'/linux-dev/ignore/linux-src/

Please download our USB drivers patch which is required to use the WCDMA modem on Cape.

wget wcdma_patch_vayu_usb_drivers.patch
patch -p1 < wcdma_patch_vayu_usb_drivers.patch

Alternate to this, if patch is not applied clean, do following

Locate the file option.c under: /linux/drivers/usb/serial/option.c Edit the file to add following

Define on top following

 /*  Yantrr Strongrising products */
#define YANTRR_VENDOR_ID                         0x21f5
#define YANTRR_PRODUCT_VAYU3G                   0x2012

Add following structure inside static struct usb_device_id option_ids[], you would find lot of modem defined here

 /*  Yantrr Strongrising products */
 { USB_DEVICE(YANTRR_VENDOR_ID, YANTRR_PRODUCT_VAYU3G) },

You may create your local patch based on kernel for next time patch
This option adding would help udev to detect the device

Rebuild kernel

Now rebuild the kernel while enabling the pps drivers in makemenuconfig and after USB drivers patch applied.

./tools/rebuild.sh

Following figures illustrate how to enable the PPS drivers and also some settings in USB drivers section

First image shows the first screen of makemenuconfig while recompiling the kernel. Select Device drivers .

In the device drivers window, scroll down to select PPS support.

In PPS support, select PPS client using GPIO as built-in driver. It should look like as illustrated in figure below :

Exit PPS Support and select USB support and ensure that EHCI HCD (USB2.0) support is enabled. Please match other options too from the figure illustrated below :

At the end of compilation , copy and paste the line with kernel_version, which is as follows

export kernel_version=3.X.Y-Z          ( in our case 3.8.13-bone32)

Root file system (~/)

Download and extract the minimal root file system for debian wheezy :

wget -c https://rcn-ee.net//deb/minfs/wheezy/debian-7.3-minimal-armhf-2013-12-18.tar.xz
md5sum debian-7.3-minimal-armhf-2013-12-18.tar.xz
tar xf debian-7.3-minimal-armhf-2013-12-18.tar.xz

Setup MicroSD card (as root)

Format and prepare a microSD card

Attach a microSD card of size atleast 2GB to the desktop with the help of a card reader.

Use lsblk to determine device id of sd card , it is either /dev/mmcblkx or /dev/sdx , so supposedly :

export DISK=/dev/mmcblk0
dd if=/dev/zero of=${DISK} bs=1M
sfdisk --in-order --Linux --unit M ${DISK} <<-__EOF__
1,48,0xE,*
,,,-
__EOF__
dd if=/dev/zero of=${DISK} bs=512 count=1

Format partitions, for DISK=/dev/mmcblk0

mkfs.vfat -F 16 ${DISK}p1 -n boot
mkfs.ext4 ${DISK}p2 -L rootfs

Or for DISK=/dev/sdX

mkfs.vfat -F 16 ${DISK}1 -n boot
mkfs.ext4 ${DISK}2 -L rootfs

After formatting, mount the partitions. Mount paths may vary, sometimes they are auto mounted, otherwise do following

mkdir -p /media/boot/
mkdir -p /media/rootfs/
mount ${DISK}p1 /media/boot/        or mount ${DISK}1 /media/boot/
mount ${DISK}p2 /media/rootfs/      or mount ${DISK}2 /media/rootfs/

Install Bootloader

Now, Install bootloader by executing following commands (~/) :

cp -v ./u-boot/MLO  /media/boo	t/
cp -v ./u-boot/u-boot.img  /media/boot/

Then, create “uEnv.txt” boot script and copy following in it: (nano uEnv.txt)

#u-boot eMMC specific overrides; Angstrom Distribution (BeagleBone Black) 2013-06-20
kernel_file=zImage
initrd_file=uInitrd

loadzimage=load mmc ${mmcdev}:${mmcpart} ${loadaddr} ${kernel_file}
loadinitrd=load mmc ${mmcdev}:${mmcpart} 0x81000000 ${initrd_file}; setenv initrd_size ${filesize}
loadfdt=load mmc ${mmcdev}:${mmcpart} ${fdtaddr} /dtbs/${fdtfile}
#

console=ttyO0,115200n8
mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw
mmcrootfstype=ext4 rootwait fixrtc

##To disable HDMI/eMMC...
#optargs=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN,BB-BONE-EMMC-2G

##3.1MP Camera Cape
#optargs=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONE-EMMC-2G

mmcargs=setenv bootargs console=${console} root=${mmcroot} rootfstype=${mmcrootfstype} ${optargs}

#zImage:
uenvcmd=run loadzimage; run loadfdt; run mmcargs; bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdtaddr}

#zImage + uInitrd: where uInitrd has to be generated on the running system.
#boot_fdt=run loadzimage; run loadinitrd; run loadfdt
#uenvcmd=run boot_fdt; run mmcargs; bootz ${loadaddr} 0x81000000:${initrd_size} ${fdtaddr}

 
cp -v ./uEnv.txt  /media/boot/

Install Kernel and Root file system

Now, we have to Install Kernel and root file system

Copy root file system (~/)

tar xfvp ./*-*-*-armhf-*/armhf-rootfs-*.tar -C /media/rootfs/

Copy kernel files

cp -v ./linux-dev/deploy/${kernel_version}.zImage /media/boot/zImage
mkdir -p /media/boot/dtbs/
tar xfov ./linux-dev/deploy/${kernel_version}-dtbs.tar.gz -C /media/boot/dtbs/
tar xfv ./linux-dev/deploy/${kernel_version}-firmware.tar.gz -C /media/rootfs/lib/firmware
tar xfv ./linux-dev/deploy/${kernel_version}-modules.tar.gz -C /media/rootfs/

Make a File systems table

edit /etc/fstab:

nano /media/rootfs/etc/fstab

and copy following

/dev/mmcblk0p2	/		auto	errors=remount-ro	0	1
/dev/mmcblk0p1	/boot/uboot	auto	defaults		0	2

Networking

edit /etc/network/interfaces

nano /media/rootfs/etc/network/interfaces

and copy following (fixed ip)

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.150
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.1.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1

Networking: using a shared sd card with multiple beaglebone

nano /media/rootfs/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

and copy following

# BeagleBone: net device ()
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

Enable serial login to system

nano /media/rootfs/etc/inittab

and copy following at the end of inittab

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyO0 115200 vt102

Remove microsd card

sync
umount /media/boot/
umount /media/rootfs/

Extras

USB Gadget (http access to beaglebone black over usb)

Run beaglebone black with the created sd card and then do the following in it over eth0 ssh

 apt-get install udhcpd

Edit the file at /etc/default/udhcpd for enabling udhcpd

Edit /etc/network/interfaces to add following at the end

 
Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
iface usb0 inet static
    address 192.168.7.2
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.7.0
    gateway 192.168.7.1
