Preparing Android binaries
The following binaries are required by the Blaze® board. This step will prepare a directory, called myfs, containing all necessary Android files that you must include within your SD card. cd $YOUR_PATH mkdir myfs cd myfs cp -Rfp $YOUR_PATH/kernel/android-2.6.35/drivers/staging/ti-st/*.ko $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/root cp -Rfp $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/root/*. cp -Rfp $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/system/. cp -Rfp $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/data/. cp -Rfp $MYDROID/device/ti/blaze/init.omap4sdp.rc init.rc

Changing default display resolution on Android

Default LCD density is now set to 240 (was 160 previously by default). If you want to come back to the previous setting to make Android UI look smaller (smaller icons, etc...), comment the following line in system/build.prop
 * 1) ro.sf.lcd_density=240

= Booting Kernel and Android File System from SD card = Formatting SD Card

You will need to format your SD for the Linux file system. Connect your SD memory card reader with memory card inserted to a USB port on your Linux Ubuntu PC. You must login as Super User.

$ su $ fdisk -l

Match the device to the size of your memory card. Look for the /dev/*** device which matches the memory card in the card reader. Use the matching device’s letter prefix in the next command. For example if the device for memory card reader card example was: /dev/sdb1, then use only /dev/sdb in the fdisk command.

Take note of the size in bytes of your SD Card. You will need this to calculate the number of cylinders in a future step.

$ fdisk /dev/sdb (replace sdb with the letter prefix for your device)

(Delete all partitions on the card if they exist) Command (m for help): d Partition number (1-4): 1 Command (m for help): d Selected partition 2

Command (m for help): x

(Change the number of heads, sectors and cylinders on the device) Expert command (m for help): h Number of heads (1-256, default 255): 255 Expert command (m for help): s Number of sectors (1-63, default 63): 63 Expert command (m for help): c Number of cylinders (1-1048576, default 248): 

(Now return to the main menu) Expert command (m for help): r

(Create the first partition) Command (m for help): n Command action e  extended p  primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 1 First cylinder (1-248, default 1): 1 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-248, default 248): +64M

If you plan to use this SD card partition for storing media your can use +1024M assuming a 2+ GB SD card.

(Create the second partition) Command (m for help): n Command action e  extended p  primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 2 First cylinder (10-248, default 10): 10 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (124-248, default 248): 

(Change the first partition to at FAT32 partition) Command (m for help): t Partition number (1-4): 1 Hex code (type L to list codes): c Changed system type of partition 1 to c (W95 FAT32 (LBA))

(Toggle the bootable flag for partition 1) Command (m for help): a Partition number (1-4): 1

(Print the partition table to confirm your settings) Command (m for help): p

(Sample Output – your output may differ depending on your SD card’s size and brand) Disk /dev/sdb: 2041 MB, 2041577472 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 248 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000

(Write your changes to the SD Card) Command (m for help): w

(You will see the following output) The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl to re-read partition table.

WARNING: If you have created or modified any DOS 6.x partitions, please see the fdisk manual page for additional information. Syncing disks.

Format your partitions typing the following commands (logged as root@ubuntu-box): $ mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot /dev/ $ mkfs.ext3 -L android_fs /dev/

There is a shell script that all calculations above automatically; to get it do: $ wget http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/plain/contrib/angstrom/omap3-mkcard.sh

Add execution permission: $ chmod +x omap3-mkcard.sh

And you are ready to use it by just typing: $sudo ./omap3-mkcard.sh 

Copying Binaries onto SD Card

Now type the following to mount your SD Card on your Linux box (logged as root@ubuntu-box): $ mkdir /tmp/mmc1 $ mkdir /tmp/mmc2 $ mount /dev/ /tmp/mmc1 $ mount /dev/ /tmp/mmc2

Load the appropriate software to the SD Card (logged as root@ubuntu-box): $ cp $YOUR_PATH/x-loader/MLO /tmp/mmc1  (if you are using EMU or HS device, plese copy signed MLO instead) $ cp $YOUR_PATH/u-boot/u-boot.bin /tmp/mmc1 $ cp $YOUR_PATH/kernel/android-2.6.35/arch/arm/boot/uImage /tmp/mmc1 $ cp -Rfp $YOUR_PATH/27.7.1/myfs/* /tmp/mmc2 $ chmod –R 777 /tmp/mmc2/* $ umount /tmp/mmc1 $ umount /tmp/mmc2

Booting

Insert your SD card (with u-boot, x-loader and uImage loaded in FAT partition and ) into Blaze SD/MMC card slot, then plug the Blaze mini USB port to your PC and open a serial terminal (baudrate:115200, no parity, 8 bits). Power your board up and in your terminal window you should be able to see the ‘New’ u-boot prompt:

“OMAP44XX SDP #”

In your serial terminal define the following: setenv bootargs 'console=ttyO2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rw rootdelay=2 mem=463M init=/init vram="10M" omapfb.vram="0:4M"'

now type this: mmcinit 0; fatload mmc 0 0x80000000 uImage; bootm 0x80000000

Right after this your Blaze should start booting using the kernel image and loading the Android filesystem from your SD

= Booting Kernel and Android File System from eMMC = Formatting eMMC

If your are going to use of eMMC for the first time, you need to create the appropriate partitions and then create a filesystem (format) for each one. For this you need to boot an Android filesystem entirely from SD card as described earlier. Once your Android filesystem is up and running, your need to enable eMMC as a device for USB mass storage:

Note that path in the new kernel version has changed to: $ echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 >/sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

Now connect the Blaze micro USB connector to your Linux box and from your PC terminal type: $ sudo fdisk -l

And a list of available devices should appear. You should see eMMC as an un-mounted raw device of 32 GB (ES1.0): (device name may vary on other linux-boxes) Disk /dev/sdg: 32.0 GB, 32015122432 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3892 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Important Notes:
 * eMMC device data (head, cylinders and sectors) presented here may vary on other Blaze boards
 * For ES2.0 eMMC size is 8GB, please do calculate cylinders value accordingly.

Now create two partitions exactly the same way as for SD card: $ sudo fdisk /dev/sdg

(assuming you are formatting Blaze eMMC for the first time): Command (m for help): d Command (m for help): x Expert command (m for help): h Number of heads (1-256, default 30): 255 Expert command (m for help): s Number of sectors (1-63, default 29): 63 Warning: setting sector offset for DOS compatiblity Expert command (m for help): c Number of cylinders (1-1048576, default 2286): 3891

Configure eMMC partitions: Expert command (m for help): r Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 1 First cylinder (1-123, default 1): Using default value 1 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-123, default 123): +1024M

NOTE: This is the vFAT size, in this case the vFAT size would be 1GB you can change this, in this partition the boot files and media content must be placed. Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 2 First cylinder (10-123, default 10): Using default value 10 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (10-123, default 123): Using default value 123

FAT32 Partition: Command (m for help): t Partition number (1-4): 1 Hex code (type L to list codes): c Changed system type of partition 1 to c (W95 FAT32 (LBA)) Command (m for help): a Create partition table: Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered!
 * You have to format 1st partitions with vfat32 filesystem.

Calling ioctl to re-read partition table.

WARNING: If you have created or modified any DOS 6.x partitions, please see the fdisk manual page for additional information. Syncing disks.

Formatting partitions: $ sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot /dev/sdg1 $ sudo mkfs.ext3 -L rootfs /dev/sdg2

Copying Binaries onto eMMC Now type the following to mount your eMMC partitions on your Linux box (logged as root@ubuntu-box): $ mkdir /tmp/mmc1 $ mkdir /tmp/mmc2 $ mount /dev/ /tmp/mmc1 $ mount /dev/ /tmp/mmc2

Load the appropriate software to the SD Card (logged as root@ubuntu-box): $ cp $YOUR_PATH/kernel/android-2.6.35/arch/arm/boot/uImage /tmp/mmc1 $ cp -Rfp $YOUR_PATH/27.7.1/myfs/* /tmp/mmc2 $ chmod –R 777 /tmp/mmc2/* $ umount /tmp/mmc1 $ umount /tmp/mmc2

Booting

Insert your SD card (with u-boot and signed x-loader loaded in FAT partition and ) into Blaze SD/MMC card slot, then plug the Blaze mini USB port to your PC and open a serial terminal (baudrate:115200, no parity, 8 bits). Power your board up and in your terminal window you should be able to see the ‘New’ u-boot prompt: “OMAP44XX SDP #”

In your serial terminal define the following: $setenv bootargs 'console=ttyO2,115200n8 mem=463M root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rw rootdelay=2 init=/init ' $setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit 1;fatload mmc 1 0x80000000 uImage;bootm 80000000' $saveenv $boot

Right after this your Blaze should start booting kernel image and loading the Android filesystem both from Blaze eMMC.

A bootable sdcard is required to get OMAP prompt, it can be changed or removed once the kernel is loaded.

=Bootargs= Note: Bootargs have changed for this release. For SD boot now root value is /dev/mmcblk1p2 and eMMC boot is /dev/mmcblk0p2. Note that additional parameter vram="10M" should be used in the bootargs

L27.7.1 Bootargs for SD card boot

setenv bootargs 'console=ttyO2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rw rootdelay=2 mem=463M init=/init vram="10M" omapfb.vram="0:4M"' setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit 0;fatload mmc 0 0x80000000 uImage; bootm 0x80000000' saveenv boot

Saving Bootargs for eMMC boot

$setenv bootargs 'console=ttyO2,115200n8 mem=463M root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootdelay=2 init=/init vram="10M" omapfb.vram="0:4M"' $setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit 1;fatload mmc 1 0x80000000 uImage;bootm 80000000' $saveenv $boot

Right after this your Blaze should start booting kernel image and loading the Android filesystem both from Blaze eMMC

Note - bootable sdcard is required to get OMAP prompt, it can be changed or removed once the kernel is loaded
