Problem for building x-load

Hi Eric,

   You are getting the error since you are compiling it from the wrong directory.

   To compile x-load.bin you have to enter into x-loader source directory and execute those three commands.

   cd  "your android source directory"

   cd  x-loader

   execute the three commands which you have mentioned.

Thanks and Regards,

Suma

Hi, Suma,

          Thank you for your reply. I had tried this before but it is error. And then I found out that the path of toolchain is incorrect. I change it. Now it is working.

Your reply make me to work for this.

Thanks and Best Regards
Eric

Hi, Suma,

           Do you know what is the directory for building Android filesystem?

Best Regards

Eric

Hi, Pankaj,

          I will try to work for this. Thank you for your reply

Best Regards

Eric

 I had rebuild the x-loader:
 
Execute the following commands
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- distclean
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- omap3evm_config
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
This command will build the x-loader Image "x-load.bin"

but I get the following ERROR when the third command is executed:
.........

There are a lot of lines to have. I just show some lines.

Anybody can help me?

Hi Eric,

Default android 4.4.3 toolchain linker gives internal error while building x-loader.
Please sync latest x-loader sources or apply following patch to x-loader repository and try building again.

Patch :  http://www.gitorious.org/rowboat/x-loader/commit/e6e39e34104f28b8bd62307971ab89e736cb9388

default android 4.4.3 toolchain linker gives internal error while building x-loader.
Use arm-eabi-ld.bfd linker for building x-loader.

Hi Pankaj,

     But there is no arm-eabi-ld.bfd in the toolchain path( <android source>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/ )
Can you tell me where to find the arm-eabi-ld.bfd or which version of arm-eabi-ld that you use as arm-eabi-ld.bfd ?

Thanks and Regards,

Roy Lee

arm-eabi-ld.bfd is deleted in the latest Google Android ICS source tree.

I suggest you build with the toolchain provided with the rowboat Gingerbread android source tree.

Hi Vishveshwar,
     OK, I got it. I will change the LD variable config.mk from ld.bfd back to ld.

Thanks and Regards,
Roy Lee

Hi, 

I am trying to Build source code for android ICS 4.0.3.  I am following this  link
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-ICS-4.0.3-DevKit-3.0.0_DevelopersGuide

I get error at building x-loader step i.e when I 

Execute the following commands

 $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- distclean
 $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- omap3beagle_config

It gives me error:

int3@int3-desktop:/media/Data/rowboat-android/TI-Android-ICS-4.0.3_AM37x_3.0.0/x-loader$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-omap3beagle_config
System not configured - see README
make: *** [all] Error 1

Can Anyone please guide me how to remove this error. 

Thankyou.

Please make sure that the $PATH is set correctly. Refer to the Developer Guide.

Hi Vishveshwar Bhat,

Thank you for your response. I am following the Developer Guide but I can not find the error in my path, 
 

After the extraction of the .bin file (which gets extracted successfully) , i do these steps.

Your path is not set correctly, it seems that a '$' has crept in there by mistake. Try like this

export PATH=/media/Data/rowboat-android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH

Problem at "Build x-loader" step got resolved. I was not adding Path correctly. Thank you for your help. 

But now it is giving me another error.  I did "Build android filesystem " step with "SGX" , then  "creating root filesystem tarball" step where I get error.  This is the error.

ut/target/product/beagleboard$ cp -r root/* android_rootfs
cp: cannot stat `root/*': No such file or directory
int3@int3-desktop:/media/Data/rowboat-android/TI-Android-ICS-4.0.3_AM37x_3.0.0/out/target/product/beagleboard$

Can you tell me what am I doing wrong now.?

Thank you.
