[beagleboard] So how to rebuild the Angstrom demo kernel?

[AlexFreed]

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious but I couldn't find the answer
yet.

I have tried the new Angstrom demo for the Beagle Board. The included
SGX extensions are great. Unfortunately there are some problems for
me:

1. Attempt to write to PWM related registers (with devmem2) fails.
2. I need to add a touchscreen module.

So I want to recompile the exact same kernel version and patch level.
I hope that the existing modules
including the SGX stuff will still work, but I need to modify the
kernel a bit for my almost-Beagle board.

I was able to build the previous Angstrom images with OE and likely I
just need to change some simple magic number in some config file but I
can't figure out how.

So is there an instruction for idiots on building locally at least the
kernel from the new Angstrom demo?

Hi,

I just recompile my kernel with

$ bitbake -c compile -f linux-omap-2.6.29

I'm using stable 2009 Angstrom image as explained in
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom
then in angstrom-dev/work/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/linux-
omap-2.6.29-r46/git
I have the kernel compiled with all the patches applied. The SGX
kernel modules will be compatable
because it's the same kernel you are using currently.

Regards,
Jorge

Don't use recipe names when building kernels in OE, but 'virtual/kernel', that will always work for every board. I say this because the 2.6.32 kernel isn't built by the linux-omap recipe :)

Koen

Hi Guys ,

 

Sorry for the spam but just wanted to introduce you guys to our Project "Wild-ducks" , which is all about making a Smartphone with the Beagle and free Symbian code.

This is a community driven project , where we together as a community are trying to get the bits and pieces together. A nice introduction to the project could be found at the Symbain blog.

 

The technical details of the project are available at the project wiki and we also have a mailing list to fuel the exchange of ideas. We are also getting some new friends for the BeagleBoard – one is a modem expansion board with a Telit modem (and some more goodies) and the other is a pluggable touch LCD. The motivation is to keep the HW cost as low as possible and at the same time have a modular and extendable design.

 

As you must be aware that the whole of the Symbian platform is now available under EPL , virtually any one can get the code and use it. Having said that , we do see Wild-Ducks as the foundation for further community projects around the BeagleBoard and Symbian. It has something for everyone whether you’re a developer, member company, university student, entrepreneur, or just a technology enthusiast

 

We are trying to engage with some of the member companies in the ecosystem to seek more contributions , but I will be delighted if the project has anything to interest you guys as well. At this stage, we need support , especially from the already rich developer base for beagleboard.  

 

If this interests you all , feel free to engage with us or join us on our mailing list/blog/forum to provide feedback.

 

 

Cheers !!!
