Linux/AMIC110: Support for U-Boot/Linux possible/planned?

Part Number: AMIC110
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDXICE110, , AM3359, TMDSICE3359

Tool/software: Linux

Hi,

is there or will there be support for u-boot/linux on the AMIC110ICE EVM (TMDXICE110)? Or has anyone been able to run arago out of the box on the AMIC110ICE EVM

Thanks in advance,

Dave

    Dave,

    We don't currently have support for this board in our Processor SDK (our LInux Distro that derived from Arago). We also have no plans at this time to support it. in the future.

    Maybe you could share a bit more about your use case and desire to have Linux on this board and i might be able to give some hints on viability?

    Thanks for your post.

    Hi,
    I was hoping for linux-support as nearly every am335x based board is supported.

    i'm trying to replace an older board running Yocto Linux with a new one which will make use of the dual PRUs of the AMIC110.
    As this is an AM335x compatible Processor, I thought there would be support for it out in Yocto/meta-ti/arago or the linux sdk.

    As far as my understanding goes, i need to customize the devicetree, which will enable me to build/generate the pinmux and bootloader files that can start the kernel on this device - can you confirm this?

    Dave,

    You could certainly board port Linux to the AMIC110 ICE board, but it has some challenges. The biggest is probably the lack of storage as it has no SD card socket and only has 8MB of SPI Flash.

    Yes, to start the board port you would need to port U-Boot where you would handle pinmux and other configuration in order to get to Linux. For Linux, you are going to need a very small filesystem to fit on this board.

    Have you considered the AM3359 ICE Board:

    http://www.ti.com/tool/TMDSICE3359

    It has Linux support and the PRUs are available.

    Hi,

    As i'm somewhat familiar with the kernel development i'm going to try to port U-Boot on the AMIC110 ICE. I selected the AMIC110 as it is powerful enough for my task.

    Since the AMIC and the AM335x are compatible, i will take a look at the TMDSICE3359.

    Thanks a lot for the information,

    Dave
