Hello All,
I'd like to share with you how I get manage to build OKLinux for versatile platform and run on QEMU.
Hope it will be useful for anyone.
Notes:
- This instruction shows how to build from source. Alternatively it is possible to use SDK and
this instruction. In this case NICTA toolchain is not needed (kernel is already built for you).
- I built crosstools from source, but it is not required. You can used
prebuilt version.
- This how-to could be adopted for other platforms by changing steps 5,6 and slightly 1 and 4.
1. Get required modules
1.1 Download required modules and patches from
http://wiki.ok-labs.com/downloads/release-3.0/ into some dir (will be mentioned further as /Path/To/Work/Dir/):
module list:
crosstool-0.43.tar.gz
okl4_3.0.tar.gz
oklinux_2.6.24.9-patch.4.tar.gz
qemu-okl.0.9.1.tar.gz
patch:
crosstool-eabi-0.43.patch
1.2 Download NICTA toolchain for pistachio kernel:
arm-linux-3.4.4.tar.gz 1.3 Untar all downloaded modules:
using command:
tar -xzf MODULE_NAME
2. Build cross tools for ARM with EABI
2.1 Create symlink to ar with a name i686-host_pc-linux-gnu-ar (shall be accessible in PATH, root might be required)
2.2 Apply patch to crosstools sources
patch -d /Path/To/Work/Dir/crosstool-0.43 < /Path/To/Work/Dir/crosstool-eabi-0.43.patch
2.3 Make new dir glib-2.7 in /Path/To/Work/Dir/crosstool-0.43/patches
and copy file /Path/To/Work/Dir/crosstool-0.43/glibc-2.7-nolibeh.patch into it
2.4 Execute /Path/To/Work/Dir/crosstool-0.43/demo-arm-softfloat.sh
2.5 Symlink /Path/To/Work/Dir/result_top/gcc-4.2.4-glibc-2.7 dir to /opt/okl/Linux-i386/arm dir (root is required)
3. Add to PATH compiler for kernel
PATH=$PATH:/Path/To/Work/Dir/opt/nicta/tools/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/arm-linux/bin
4. Compile kernel and OK Linux.
4.1 Go to dir /Path/To/Work/Dir/okl4_3.0
cd /Path/To/Work/Dir/okl4_3.0
4.2 Compile
tools/build.py machine=versatile project=linux wombat=true TOOLCHAIN=gnu_arm_eabi_toolchain pistachio.TOOLCHAIN=gnu_arm_toolchain PYFREEZE=False kdb_serial=True KDB_BREAKIN=False
5. Compile QEMU for ARM
5.1 Go to QEMU dir
cd /Path/To/Work/Dir/qemu-okl.0.9.1
5.2 Configure and compile qemu
./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu --disable-sdl --static --disable-gfx-check
make
6. Execute with QEMU for ARM
6.1 Go to dir /Path/To/Work/Dir/okl4_3.0
cd /Path/To/Work/Dir/okl4_3.0
6.2 Run QEMU
qemu-system-arm -M versatileab -start-addr 0x04100000 -nographic -kernel build/image.elf
Best Regards,
Alexander Valitov
