Problem with arago filesystem for PSP 4.02.007 (Beagleboard)

 

I have built the kernel 2.6.37 using PSP 4.02.007 for beagleboard xM.

PSP does not include the file system so i tried the demo images of file system from the arago repository.

With these images the kernel is not booting. I think this is beacause the demo filesystem images are buid for kernel version 2.6.32.

Then i tried to build the arago filesystem by following the step given at http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_Up_Build_Environment.

How can i build a filesystem image for the specific kernel 2.6.37 build by PSP.

What file do i need to change and what changes should i make. I am not much familiar with open embedded.

Any help would be Greatful.

 

Thanks,

Anand

  • Anand,

    I'm not sure I fully understand your question.  The beagleboard xM was never built using the 2.6.37 kernel.  If you are saying you want to try to build a file system against that kernel (which has not been validated by the SDK team) you could try changing the following in arago/conf/machine/beagleboard.conf



    PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-omap3"

    Remove PREFERRED_VERSION_linux =  "3.0.4"

     

    In the arago/recipes/linux/linux-omap3_2.6.37-psp04.02.00.07.sdk.bb recipe you will need to add beagleboard to the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE.  i.e.

     

    COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "am37x-evm|beagleboard"

     

    I hope this helps

    What is the preferred kernel which has been validated by ti that should be used for beagleboard xM.

     

    My main aim is to do programming on the dsp. I have installed DVSDK (ti-dvsdk_omap3530-evm_4_01_00_09) so that i can use c6accel or dsplink for dsp programming.

    I had previously tried Angstrom demo images.

    I was not able to load the dsplink, cmem modules in the angstrom built even though the kernel version was same(2.6.32) and the version of linux utils was also same.

    I was getting the following error

     

    insmod: error inserting '/home/ex/dsplinkk.ko': -1 Invalid module format  

     

    So i wanted to build a kernel and filesystem with the same version (psp 2.6.32 used in dvsdk) so that i can easily load the modules (dsplink,cmem) and run the demo programs which are built inside DVSDK.
