Linux/TMDSEVM572X: Firewire driver

Part Number: TMDSEVM572X


Tool/software: Linux

Hello,

how can i add the firewire driver to the kernel within the ti sdk and bring it onto a sd card?

I executed

- MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig

- MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake virtual/kernel

- MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake tisdk-rootfs-image

But the firewire drivers aren't included. Is there a tutorial for this?

Best regards

  • IEEE1394 (FireWire) isn't present on this processor or EVM.

    How are you adding it?

  • I have a miniPCIe firewire card.

  • Is the add-in card you are using native mini-PCIe or are you using an adapter?

    Please provide a link to the card you are using.
  • I solved the issue by executing:

    - MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig
    - MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake virtual/kernel -f -c compile
    - MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake virtual/kernel -f
    - MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake tisdk-rootfs-image

    - Goto tisdk/build/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/deploy/images/am57xx-evm
    - Copy MLO and U-boot to an extra folder named i.e. boot
    - Extract tisdk-rootfs-image-am57xx-evm-[date].rootfs.tar.xz to an extra folder named i.e. rootfs

    - Goto tisdk/build/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/work/am57xx_evm-linux-gnueabi/arago-core-tisdk-image/1.0-r0.tisdk10/rootfs/bin
    - Execute sudo ./create-sdcard.sh
