==<br/>FAQ ==
== Linux virtual machine for development ==
* Please have a look at: '''[[Virtual Machine for Application Development]]'''


=== Ethernet does not work ===
==Building your own Kernel ==
Check if the line "allow-hotplug eth0" in the file "/etc/network/interfaces" is activated. You can activate the ethernet interface on a running system with the command:
:{| class="wikitable"
|<code>''ifconfig eth0 up''</code>
|}
:'''Remark:''' To work with a nfs-rootfilesystem you have to disable the line "allow-hotplug eth0" in the file "/etc/network/interfaces". Maybe the system was prepared for this method for development and nobody did change it back.


=== How to set a Linux environment variable? ===
==== Sources for the AM35x Linux Kernel v3.2.12 / v3.2.81 ====
This example shows you how to configure the system to use a proxy-server with a environment variable.
* The latest Linux Kernel source code is available on GitHub: [https://github.com/dh-electronics/linux-am35x https://github.com/dh-electronics/linux-am35x]
:{| class="wikitable"
* We recommend to use on new projects the latest v3.2.81 Linux Kernel
|<code>''export http_proxy=http://192.168.xxx.xxx:xxxx</code>
|}


=== How to schedule jobs to run periodically at certain times or dates? ===
==== How to build a kernel ====
You can use the cron daemon and/or anacron. To use anacron you have to copy or link your program or script into one of the the following folders:
Get sources from Github and build the linux kernel using 5 threads and a build directory

Linux virtual machine for development

Building your own Kernel

Sources for the AM35x Linux Kernel v3.2.12 / v3.2.81

How to build a kernel

Get sources from Github and build the linux kernel using 5 threads and a build directory

1. Start a terminal on Linux
2. # git clone https://github.com/dh-electronics/linux-am35x.git
3. # mkdir build
4. # cd linux-am35x
5. # git checkout BRANCH
(BRANCH=dev/3.2.12_dhcom or BRANCH=dev/3.2.81_dhcom)
6. # ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make O=../build/ dhcm3517_defconfig
7. # ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make -j5 O=../build/ uImage
  • Your new uImage file is available in ../build/arch/arm/boot

Remark:

  • On linux-am35x.git we use the git branch "master".

- watchdog driver support for magic close added
  • 2012-08-29 -> 2012-11-08
- added audio support
- changed partitionsize of linux-kernel

How to build a kernel

1. Start a terminal on Linux
2. Copy the above mentioned source files (linux-3.x.y.tar.bz2, .config, *.patch) into our work_path
3. # cd work_path
4. # tar xfjv linux-3.2.12.tar.bz2
5. # cd work_path/linux-3.2.12
6. # patch -p1 < ../dh-linux-am35x_xxxxxxxx.patch
7. # cp ../dh-linux-am35x_xxxxxxxx.config .config'
8. # ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make uImage
  • Your new uImage file is available in work_path/linux-3.2.12/arch/arm/boot

Update the kernel with U-Boot

The linux kernel will be updated by the U-Boot flash update.
1. Copy the uImage and uImage.env file onto a microSD card with a FAT file system (you can use the 1st partition on the microSD card)
2. Insert the microSD card and start the system
3. Go to the U-Boot console by pressing BACKSPACE/DEL on a RS232 terminal (during startup)
4. update linux

Debian Rootfilesystem

Available Rootfilesystems

Please have a look at the AM35x Downloads section.

External Documentation

Login

Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 dhcom ttyO0

dhcom login: root
Password: foo

Shutdown

# shutdown -h now

Calibrating the touchscreen

# ts_calibrate
  • Check the enviroment variable "TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0" with printenv if an error occurs.

Running Qt Demos

# cd /usr/qt/demos/demoname
# ./demoname -qws
  • For the Qt-Browser change demoname to browser
  • If the touchscreen does not work please check the enviroment variable "QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Tslib:/dev/input/event0" with printenv.

Run Qt demos with powerVR (3d acceleration) support

# cd /usr/qt/demos/embedded/demoname
# ./demoname -qws

Run Qt demos with usb mouse input device

# cd /usr/qt/demos/demoname
# export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Auto:/dev/input/mice
# ./demoname -qws

Remark: Just remember that you need to run the Qt demos with the options -qws. Omitting -qws results in the app waiting to connect to the QWS Server, which is not running.

How to create a microSD-card with a rootfilesystem on it

1. Format a microSD card like following (in linux e.g. gparted, palimpsest) with Master Boot Record partition scheme

P1 FAT (Primary partition: 100MB)
P2 ext3 (Primary partition: Residual space)

2. Untar the root file system to the ext3 partition of the microSD card (Don't copy the tar archive directly to the microSD card)

Start the Console on Linux
# su
# chmod 755 /path/of/the/microSD_card
# cd /path/of/the/microSD_card
# tar xfjv path/to/RootFS/Name_of_RootFS_file.tar.bz2

Remark: If you got a *.tar.gz file so type tar xfzv ... to extract the rootfilesystem.

Initialize and Test CAN Interface

Initialize:
ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 500000
Send test message via cansend (part of can-utils):
cansend can0 100#11.2233.44556677.88
Receive can messages (part of can-utils):
candump can0

Testing display / framebuffer

In most common cases the "Display Bits" should be "8"
With "fb" you select the number of the framebuffer device (e.g. /dev/fb0)
fb_1Colorfill Fills the framebuffer device with a given RGB color
fb_1Colorfill [fb (0..31)] [Display Bits (1..8)] [Red value (0..255)] [Green value (0..255)] [Blue value (0..255)]
fb_fb2BMP Copies the framebuffer device data into a 24Bit BMP-File
fb_fb2BMP [fb (0..31)] [24-Bit BMP-File]
fb_LoadBMP Loads a 24Bit BMP-file into a 32Bit framebuffer device
fb_LoadBMP [fb (0..31)] [24-Bit BMP-File] [Display Bits (1..8)] [Transparency (0..100)]
