| Build |
| ===== |
| |
| First, configure Buildroot for the LS1046A-FRWY board: |
| |
| make ls1046a-frwy_defconfig |
| |
| Build all components: |
| |
| make |
| |
| You will find in output/images/ the following files: |
| - bl2_sd.pbl |
| - fip.bin |
| - fsl_fman_ucode_ls1046_r1.0_106_4_18.bin |
| - fsl_fman_ucode_ls1046_r1.0_108_4_9.bin |
| - fsl-ls1046a-frwy.dtb |
| - fsl-ls1046a-frwy-sdk.dtb |
| - Image |
| - PBL.bin |
| - rootfs.ext2 |
| - rootfs.ext4 |
| - sdcard.img |
| - u-boot.bin |
| |
| Create a bootable SD card |
| ========================= |
| |
| To determine the device associated to the SD card have a look in the |
| /proc/partitions file: |
| |
| cat /proc/partitions |
| |
| Buildroot prepares a bootable "sdcard.img" image in the output/images/ |
| directory, ready to be dumped on a SD card. Launch the following |
| command as root: |
| |
| dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX |
| |
| *** WARNING! This will destroy all the card content. Use with care! *** |
| |
| For details about the medium image layout, see the definition in |
| board/freescale/ls1046a-frwy/genimage.cfg. |
| |
| Boot the LS1046A-FRWY board |
| ========================= |
| |
| To boot your newly created system: |
| - insert the SD card in the SD slot of the board; |
| - Configure the switches SW1[1:9] = 0_0100_0000 (select SD Card boot option) |
| - put a Micro-USB cable into UART1 Port and connect using a terminal emulator |
| at 115200 bps, 8n1. Or remove the jumper on J72, connect a USB to TTL cable |
| to J73, and connect using a terminal emualtor at 115200 bps, 8n1. |
| - power on the board. |
| |
| The front panel Ethernet connectors are off at boot, to bring them up run the |
| following commands. |
| |
| 1G PORT1 |
| ip link set eth1 up |
| |
| 1G PORT2 |
| ip link set eth2 up |
| |
| 1G PORT3 |
| ip link set eth0 up |
| |
| 1G PORT4 |
| ip link set eth3 up |
