AM6411: Reference material for chrooting into a standard Linux environment such as Ubuntu

Guru 12115 points
Part Number: AM6411

Hi,

As for AM64x, I am trying to install Vanilla Ubuntu because the configuration cannot be changed freely with the FW for initial development.

If you have any reference material for chrooting into a standard Linux environment such as Ubuntu, please let me know.

Thanks,

Astro

  • Hi Astro,

    You don't need chroot for this. If you have an ARM64 Ubuntu filesystem, you can just replace the filesystem provided in the Processor SDK with the Ubuntu filesystem, it should work. You just keep the /boot and /lib/modules folders in the SDK filesystem, which host the kernel and its modules.

  • Hi, Bin

    Could you tell me the procedure to replace the file system provided by Processor SDK with the Ubuntu file system?

    Thanks,

  • Hi Astro,

    The procedure depends on what the board boots from, and how the filesystem is prepared.

    Once you have the Ubuntu filesystem, and recompiled kernel, just copy the kernel image and board dtb to /boot folder of the filesystem, and install kernel modules to /lib/modules folder of the filesystem, then package/flash the filesystem to your board.
