Have anybody tried Chromium OS on PandaBoard?

[Chen Dai]

Hi all,

I have got a PandaBoard, and I want to try ChromiumOS on it, Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks,

Chen

[Emmanuel Osei-Akoto]

Hi Chen,

I'm not sure the sort of advice needed, but I'll urge you to go ahead and let us know any challenges you come across. ie if you have everything to kick start with.

Best Regards.

Hi Chen,
I've played around with it a little. Here are some of the things I
did:

- Created a new overlay for omap4/pandaboard
- In the overlay, I added new ebuilds for u-boot (didn't use ours
since there's no vboot on pandaboard) and x-loader
- Used u-boot from git://gitorious.org/pandaboard/u-boot-mainline.git.
I didn't try upstream since I think there are bits which haven't been
upstreamed
- I had to add some patches to get USB drivers in u-boot:
- http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-May/092259.html
- http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-May/092260.html
- http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-May/092258.html
- Used x-loader from git://gitorious.org/x-loader/x-loader.git
- Used a custom boot script to boot from a USB key which was formatted
from our build_image script (script copied below)
- Grabbed kernel config from
http://elinux.org/images/c/c7/Config.2.6.38, added it to our kernel
and chose it using CHROMEOS_KERNEL_CONFIG in make.conf

Check out http://elinux.org/PandaBoard to see how the sd card should
be formatted. The SD card is used solely for the bootloaders (x-loader
& u-boot), everything else will come from a USB key created by
build_packages/build_image.

These are vague, but should get you started, let me know if you have
any questions.

Sean

Thank you very much, Sean, Emmanuel, That's very useful.

And how about GPU, how can I enable Opengles on ChromiumOS, use TI's GPU driver?

Thanks,

Chen

I hope it gives you a start, I look forward to a report on your
progress :)

I didn't get that far. You *might* be able to use the ubuntu graphics
drivers, but I'm not certain if it'll work.

Good luck!

Sean,

Would you be able to provide an example of your u-boot / x-loader
ebuild files? I'm a noob to chromium OS trying to build for the
Pandaboard.

Hi Maddy,

I am also trying for Chromium OS on Panda Board.

If you have succeeded with your steps, Could you please share the steps so that it will be helpful for me.

Hi Chen,

I am also trying to boot Chromium OS on Panda Board. 

I was able to build image successfully using the steps mentioned in http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-guide.

I tried to follow/replicate steps mentioned in comment 3 posted on (10/11/2011) without any success.

When I try to use the bootloader after applying the mentioned patches, I get <waiting for device> as response permanently.

Maybe I am missing out something here, Can you please elaborate in detail about the steps mentioned in comment 3?

It would be very helpful if you can share me the u-boot binary!!

Regards,

[madhu desapogu]

Dear Sudharsanam,

Sorry due to other assign i did not concentrate in chromiumos porting, but recently i tried it but not succeeded,
did you ported chromium os on panda board?if yes kindly provide me the procedures.

Here is a good opportunity for open source contribution to create
