Upgrade the Poky's SDK
Backup current SDK
$ mv /usr/local/poky/eabi-glibc /usr/local/poky/eabi-glibc.20090721
and replace with the new SDK
$ mkdir tmpdir $ cd tmpdir $ wget http://downloads.igep.es/poky/purple-3.2/v3.2.1-0/sdk/poky-eabi-glibc-i586-arm-toolchain-sdk-3.2.1.tar.bz2 $ tar jxf poky-eabi-glibc-i586-arm-toolchain-sdk-3.2.1.tar.bz2 $ mv usr/local/poky/eabi-glibc /usr/local/poky/
Note that with the change in the poky SDK all the lines
$ source /usr/local/poky/eabi-glibc/arm/environment-setup
should become
$ source /usr/local/poky/eabi-glibc/environment-setup-arm-none-linux-gnueabi
Rootfs demos using an NFS-TFTP environment for IGEP v2
The simplest way to create a new NFS-TFTP environment for IGEP v2 is to use an already working filesystem and pre-built kernel image. Pre-built images are also available.
poky-image-minimal-mtdutils - A small image, just enough to allow a device to boot
Download and install the root filesystem image (poky-image-minimal-mtdutils-igep0020.cpio) as root on the NFS server,
$ sudo mkdir -p /srv/nfs/poky/poky-image-minimal-mtdutils/igep0020 $ cd /srv/nfs/poky/poky-image-minimal-mtdutils/igep0020 $ sudo wget http://downloads.igep.es/poky/purple-3.2/v3.2.1-0/images/poky-image-minimal-mtdutils-igep0020.rootfs.cpio $ sudo cpio -idm < poky-image-minimal-mtdutils-igep0020.rootfs.cpio
Download and copy a pre-built kernel image to poky-image-minimal project
$ sudo wget http://downloads.igep.es/poky/purple-3.2/v3.2.1-0/kernel/uImage-2.6.28-r4-igep0020-20100331100327.bin $ sudo mkdir -p /srv/tftp/poky/poky-image-minimal-mtdutils/igep0020 $ sudo mv uImage-2.6.28-r4-igep0020-20100331100327.bin /srv/tftp/poky/poky-image-minimal-mtdutils/igep0020/ $ sudo ln -s uImage-2.6.28-r4-igep0020-20100331100327.bin /srv/tftp/poky/poky-image-minimal-mtdutils/igep0020/uImage
Export the directory tree with an entry in /etc/exports file editing with your preferred editor, like
/srv/nfs/poky/poky-image-minimal-mtdutils/igep0020 *(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync)
and restart the NFS server
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
Now, you can power up your board, stop at u-boot, set the project variable point to poky-image-minimal-mtdutils and boot via NFS
# setenv machine igep0020 # setenv project poky-image-minimal-mtdutils # run nfs-boot
poky-image-sato - X11 image with Sato theme and Pimlico applications.
Download and install the root filesystem image (poky-image-sato-igep0020.cpio) as root on the NFS server,
$ sudo mkdir -p /srv/nfs/poky/poky-image-sato/igep0020 $ cd /srv/nfs/poky/poky-image-sato/igep0020 $ sudo wget http://downloads.igep.es/poky/purple-3.2/v3.2.1-0/images/poky-image-sato-igep0020.rootfs.cpio $ sudo cpio -idm < poky-image-sato-igep0020.rootfs.cpio
Download and copy a pre-built kernel image to poky-image-minimal project
$ sudo wget http://downloads.igep.es/poky/purple-3.2/v3.2.1-0/kernel/uImage-2.6.28-r4-igep0020-20100331100327.bin $ sudo mkdir -p /srv/tftp/poky/poky-image-sato/igep0020 $ sudo mv uImage-2.6.28-r4-igep0020-20100331100327.bin /srv/tftp/poky/poky-image-sato/igep0020/ $ sudo ln -s uImage-2.6.28-r4-igep0020-20100331100327.bin /srv/tftp/poky/poky-image-sato/igep0020/uImage
Export the directory tree with an entry in /etc/exports file editing with your preferred editor, like
/srv/nfs/poky/poky-image-sato/igep0020 *(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync)
and restart the NFS server
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
Now, you can power up your board, stop at u-boot, set the project variable point to poky-image-sato and boot via NFS
