Building Angstrom for Pandaboard ES

[Marko Hakkarainen]

Hi,

Is there a working way to build Angstrom for Pandaboard ES with OE
(omap4460)?

I tried building a console-image according:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom (I have
successfully build working images for BeableBoard and BeagleBoard xM
with OE before).

I used MACHINE=omap4430-panda, since there is no machine for 4460.

I suspect the problem is in x-loader or u-boot, because there is
absolutely nothing coming from the serial port. Apparently there are
some changes in omap 4430->4460?

I also managed to boot and run Ubuntu 11.10 and ICS 4.0.3 and also got
Angstrom kernel booting using pre-build x-loader and u-boot for ICS, but
it hangs at some point :)

Br,
Marko

I'm using Linaro ICS: http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/android/leb-panda/

This is what I did:
$ wget
http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/android/images/landing-panda/boot.tar.bz2
http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/android/images/landing-panda/system.tar.bz2
http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/android/images/landing-panda/userdata.tar.bz2
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/tools
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install linaro-image-tools
$ sudo linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdX --dev panda --system
system.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2
$ wget
http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/android/images/landing-panda/install-binaries.sh
$ chmod a+x install-binaries.sh
$ ./install-binaries.sh /dev/sdX2 "device node of system partition"

A side-note, X-Loader detects the omap version correctly, but u-boot
does not (and it seems rather old):

Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.41 (Jan 24 2012 - 10:05:52)
OMAP4460: 1.2 GHz capable SOM
mmc read: Invalid size
Starting OS Bootloader from MMC/SD1 ...

U-Boot 2011.06 (Aug 20 2011 - 18:00:16)

CPU : OMAP4430
Board: OMAP4 Panda
I2C: ready
DRAM: 1 GiB

some day, i *will* have absolutely up-to-date docs for all of this.
you don't need to add a new PPA, linaro-image-tools is part of
universe/devel as of ubuntu 11.10. just thought i'd point that out.
