Getting Started with Beagle

How to set up CROSS Compiler :

1.Set up code Sourcery
2.Setup Environment settings :
>>export PATH=$PATH:~/CROSSCOMPILE/CROSSCOMPILING >>/CROSSTOOLCHAINS/arm-2007q3/arm-2007q3/bin:/home/shankar/Kermit

Kermit :

C-Kermit>set modem type none
C-Kermit>set line /dev/ttyUSB0
C-Kermit>set carrier-watch off
C-Kermit>set speed 115200
C-Kermit>robust
C-Kermit>connect

"CTL + \" & C to get back to kermit

Few GIT trees :
git-clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot-v2.git u-boot-v2
git clone http://git.omapzoom.org/repo/omapkernel
git-clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot-v2.git U-BOOT_V2

How to Build UBoot V2:

make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- distclean
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omap3530beagle_config
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

How to Build kernel
Step 1) cd to kernel git repository and clean the kernel build folder
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- distclean
Step 2) Set BEAGLE as default platform configuration by
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omap3_beagle_defconfig
Step 3) Compile the source code and generate the binary by
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- uImage
Kerenel binary uImage will be generated at arch/arm/boot/ directory.
Note that mkimage tool is needed to generate uImage file.

Freedom for my mind

Do we have the freedom of programming ?

• Freedom 0: the freedom to run the programme however you wish.
• Freedom 1: the freedom to help yourself. That's the freedom to study the source code and change it to do what you wish.
• Freedom 2: the freedom to help your neighbour. That's the freedom to copy the programme and distribute the copies to others when you wish.
• Freedom 3: the freedom to help your community. That's the freedom to publish or distribute a modified version when you wish.

And YES Finally , TI helped all of us to OPEN SOURCE OUR CEREBRUMS ....:)
