Adding new embedded boards to OpenADK
-------------------------------------
This section covers how support for new embedded boards
can be integrated into OpenADK.
First step is to create a board description file in
target/<arch>/systems with the short name of your embedded board.
For example you would create following file for Raspberry PI 2 support:
target/arm/systems/raspberry-pi2
---------------------
config ADK_TARGET_SYSTEM_RASPBERRY_PI2
bool "Raspberry PI 2"
select ADK_CPU_CORTEX_A7
select ADK_TARGET_LITTLE_ENDIAN
select ADK_TARGET_CPU_WITH_NEON
select ADK_TARGET_BOARD_BCM28XX
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_VGA
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_SERIAL
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_CPU_FREQ
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_USB
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_INPUT
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_SD
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_I2C
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_SPI
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_SMP
select ADK_PACKAGE_BCM28XX_BOOTLOADER
select ADK_TARGET_WITH_ROOT_RW
select ADK_TARGET_KERNEL_ZIMAGE
help
Raspberry PI 2
------------------------
You need to select as a minimum a CPU type and Kernel format.
If a bootloader is required you also need to select it.
(ADK_PACKAGE_BCM28XX_BOOTLOADER) If the bootloader does not exist as a package
in OpenADK, you need to port it first.
The hardware capabilities are optional. (f.e. ADK_TARGET_WITH_SD), but
required when you configure the driver configuration later.
For architectures with a choice for endianess you should select either
ADK_TARGET_LITTLE_ENDIAN or ADK_TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN.
If the CPU type like in this example ADK_CPU_CORTEX_A7 is not yet available
you need to add it to target/config/Config.in.cpu. For optimized code generation
you should also add ADK_TARGET_GCC_CPU or ADK_TARGET_GCC_ARCH symbol for your CPU
type. Furthermore you need to decide if your CPU has a MMU, FPU and NPTL support
in the C library.
After the creation of the file you can go into the menu based system and
select your embedded board.
The second step is to create a Kernel configuration file fragment, which contains
only the basic support for your board to get serial console access.
For example the snippet for Raspberry PI 2:
target/arm/kernel/raspberry-pi2
------------------------
CONFIG_ARM=y
CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT=y
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V7=y
CONFIG_ARCH_BCM2709=y
CONFIG_MACH_BCM2709=y
CONFIG_FIQ=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_AMBA_PL011=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_AMBA_PL011_CONSOLE=y
------------------------
The kernel file must be registered in target/config/Config.in.kernel
------------------------
config ADK_TARGET_KERNEL_MINICONFIG
string
...
default "raspberry-pi2" if ADK_TARGET_SYSTEM_RASPBERRY_PI2
------------------------
If the mainstream kernel from kernel.org does not contain support for your board
you need to get a working kernel tree and create a patch.
For example for Raspberry PI 2 we basically use following method to create a patch:
------------------------
git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git linux-rpi
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.18.9.tar.xz
tar xvf linux-3.18.9.tar.xz
find linux-3.18.9 linux-rpi -type l -delete
rm -rf linux-rpi/.git
diff -Nur linux-3.18.9 linux-rpi > target/arm/bcm28xx/patches/3.18.9/0000-raspberry-pi.patch
------------------------
Normally you use target/<arch>/<target system>/patches/<kernelversion>/0000-<target-system>.patch.
In case of Raspberry PI 2 we have a single patch for Raspberry PI and Raspberry PI 2 and use
the extra board name bcm28xx to describe the family of devices.
After that you can build the toolchain, kernel and base system and write the resulting
firmware from firmware/<target system>/ to your device or boot via netboot and NFS.
If you have some special notes for your embedded board, please add some advise to
target/<arch>/Makefile. You can add information for the different rootfilesystem types.
If your system boots up fine to a shell, you can add the driver configuration.
For example if you add SD card driver support to Raspberry PI 2 you
would add following to target/linux/config/Config.in.block
------------------------
config ADK_KERNEL_MMC_BCM2835
bool "SD card support for BCM2835 boards"
select ADK_KERNEL_SCSI
select ADK_KERNEL_MMC
select ADK_KERNEL_MMC_BLOCK
select ADK_KERNEL_BLK_DEV
select ADK_KERNEL_BLK_DEV_SD
select ADK_KERNEL_MMC_SDHCI
select ADK_KERNEL_MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM
select ADK_KERNEL_MMC_BCM2835_DMA
depends on ADK_TARGET_BOARD_BCM28XX
default y if ADK_TARGET_BOARD_BCM28XX
default n
------------------------
We use the symbol prefix ADK_KERNEL instead of CONFIG. Otherwise the symbols are
matching the kernel symbol names.
Get again into the menu based system, enable the driver you added and recompile.
If your driver is available as kernel module use tristate.
