[edit] Introduction

This release has been developed and tested in the following environment. 

OS Kernel: Linux® 2.6.32.
The perferred Poky Environment is poky-purple 3.2; the community may try using latest revisions of Poky against the TI package.   
Hardware: Zoom3 with TI OMAP3630 IC version: ES1.1
Toolchain: CodeSourcery compiler version 2008q3-72.

[edit] Release Content

The release refers to the source code in git trees and the binary packages are distributed in different projects. The next section on how to build will help pull them into the correct directories to integrate the software system.


Documentation
OMAPpedia is an excellent source for details on the various components. There is a project listing in the main page on the various components.

Pre-built binaries from this release can be obtained from PokyL23.i3.8. Please follow the instructions given at the Zoom Flashing Instructions Page.

Other Binary packages

OMX Components & DSP Binaries - L23.i3.8_OMX_DSPBinaries The TI OMX components can be found in one package along with another package which has the DSP binaries. In this OMX package there are poky recipes that are delivered and a subset of these recipes specify clear case paths but with this package all the required source files have been included since the OMX packages will all be loaded in your source directory. This will ignore the clear case information in the recipes and build the components as required.
Connectivity Package - TI-wlan-23i3.8.tar.bz2

[edit] Build and Installation Instructions

Building with Poky and the Release Package

The setup of the Poky build environment with the correct tools will be the first task to get setup and this information is available at the Poky Setup Page

Then pull the Pre-built binaries, TI OMX multimedia components, and all the poky recipes for this release. This can be obtained this active link: L23.i3.8_OMX_DSPBinaries then download the TI-Linux-RLS-23i3.8.tar.bz2 package and TI_DSPbinaries_RLS23.i3.8-3.12-Linux-x86-Install file. Follow the steps below to setup the build environment: 

export POKYROOT=${HOME}/L23_community/
mkdir ${POKYROOT}
cd ${POKYROOT}
tar xvjf ${HOME}/TI-Linux-RLS-23i3.8.tar.bz2 #This creates the ${POKYROOT}/Linux-TI-RLS23i3.8

git clone git://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/integration/pokyomap.git
export POKYSRC=${POKYROOT}/pokyomap
cd $POKYSRC
git checkout --track -b mypoky origin/poky-purple-3.2
git reset --hard L23.I3.8

Follow the steps below to setup the TI code. 

rm -rf meta-texasinstruments
cp -rp ${POKYROOT}/Linux-TI-RLS23i3.8/meta-texasinstruments/ ${POKYSRC}
mkdir ${POKYSRC}/sources
cp ${POKYROOT}/Linux-TI-RLS23i3.8/sources/* ${POKYSRC}/sources/

Setting up the TI site and local config files: 

cp meta-texasinstruments/conf/misc/local.conf build/conf
cp meta-texasinstruments/conf/misc/site.conf build/conf
#Edit site.conf, setting SITE_PROXY_HOST and EXTERNAL_CSL_TOOLCHAIN to match your build settings.

The next step is to run the poky build commands:

Initialize the build environment and then build the OMAP image 

source poky-init-build-env
bitbake omap-image-sato 2>&1 | tee omap-image-sato.log

Building WLAN package

To add WLAN in the build download the WLAN package and install this package into your HOME directory WLAN package can be obtained from TI-wlan-23i3.8.tar.bz2.

Untar the package: TI-wlan-23i3.8.tar.bz2 

tar -xjvf TI-wlan-23i3.8.tar.bz2 #This creates the ${HOME}/TI-wlan
cp -rp ${POKYROOT}/TI-wlan/meta-texasinstruments/ ${POKYSRC}

Then you need to run the TI_wilink-firmware-1.2-Linux-x86-Install make sure the file has execution rigths, if not change it with 

chmod 755 TI_wilink-firmware-1.2-Linux-x86-Install
./TI_wifilink-1.2-Linux-x86-install #This creates the ${HOME}/TI-wifilink

and copy the resulting wilink-firmware-cc+LINUX-WCG-WLAN_RLS_L23-INC3-7.tar.gz to ${POKYSRC}/sources. 

cp ${HOME}/TI_wifilink/wilink-firmware/* ${POKYSRC}/sources/

Update the file /meta-texasinstruments/conf/distro/info/distro-features.inc by uncommenting 

DISTRO_FEATURES += "tiwifi". 
Then update the recipe /meta-texasinstruments/images/omap-image-sato.bb to uncomment  
IMAGE_FEATURES += "omap-conn".

If you already built your base package before applying WLAN package then execute the following commands: 

cd /path/to/pokyomap (path where you poky environment is located)
source poky-init-build-env (needed only if you opened a new terminal)
cd /path/to/pokyomap/build
bitbake -c rebuild wpa-supplicant 2>&1 | tee wpa-supplicant.log

NOTE: this step is specific to L23.I3.8 as far as a wpa-supplicant patch is required for WLAN robustness. 

bitbake -c rebuild task-omap-connectivity 2>&1 | tee task-omap-wlan.log
bitbake -c rebuild omap-image-sato 2>&1 | tee omap-image-sato2.log

Poky filesystem will be available in /build/tmp/deploy/images folder

Possible CAVEATS with the build The kernel package (linux-tiopmap) might have problems cloning the git repository from dev.omapzoom.org via bitbake. The symptom is that the clone command will hang indefinitely. If this occurs, Control-C out of the "bitbake omap-image-sato" command. In the resulting exit output, bitbake will list the command it was running. It will looked something like this: 

sh -c export http_proxy=http://proxyserver/;
export GIT_CONFIG=/home/x0124169/L23_community/pokyomap/build/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/etc/gitconfig;\
export GIT_PROXY_PORT=80; \
export GIT_PROXY_HOST=wwwgate.ti.com; \
export GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=/home/x0124169/L23_community/pokyomap/scripts/poky-git-proxy-command; \
export PATH=/home/x0124169/L23_community/pokyomap/build/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/zoom3-none-linux-gnueabi:\
/home/x0124169/L23_community/pokyomap/build/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/sbin:\
/home/x0124169/L23_community/pokyomap/build/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin:\
/home/x0124169/L23_community/pokyomap/build/tmp/cross/armv7a/bin:\
/home/x0124169/L23_community/pokyomap/build/tmp/staging/i686-linux/sbin:\

/opt/klocwork/bin/:\
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games;

git clone -n git://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/integration/kernel-omap3.git /home/x0124169/L23_community/pokyomap/sources/git/dev.omapzoom.org.pub.scm.integration.kernel-omap3.git

Your command will look different, based on your environment. Run this full command from the same terminal you were using to generate the imap-image-sato image. The command should properly clone the kernel tree. Once it has completed, reissue the "bitbake omap-image-sato" command. The build will pick up the downloaded tree, and should continue to build normally.

[edit] Building commands for one specific component or to rebuild a component

Additional build information has been supplied for information on building specific components and also how to rebuild a component.

To Build a specific component: 

 Instead of running: $ bitbake poky-image-sato
 Run: $ bitbake tiopenmax-audiomanager   (Which ever component needs to be built or a specific group of components)
 Another example: $ bitback tiopenmax-aacdec

Commands to Rebuild a component: 

 bitbake tiopenmax-audiomanager -cclean  (Step that does the clean)
 bitbake tiopenmax-audiomanager          (Step that does the rebuild)
 bitbake -c rebuild tiopenmax-audiomanager  (One step command to rebuild)


Booting the Zoom3 board with the OMAP images

Instructions for Booting the Zoom36x board with the new images are given in the Zoom Flashing Instructions Page.


Installing the DSP binaries to the File System

Please follow the below instructions to modify the file system by adding the DSP binaries to the file system to make it work.

Select the DSP binaries installation "TI_DSPbinaries_RLS23.i3.8-3.12-Linux-x86-Install" located in the ${POKYROOT}/TI_Community_LO directory. Install them by excepting the licence agreement. This is going to create the folder TI_DSPbinaries_RLS23.i3.8 Move qosdyn_3430.dll64P to file system location ./dspbridge The rest of the binary files need to be moved to ./lib/dsp create the directory with 

cd /lib
sudo mkdir dsp

And after that just insert the SD card and reboot the board.

Installing the WLAN firmware binary to the File System

Firmware.bin is required for enabling WLAN functionality, this can be download from the package TI-wlan-23i3.8.tar.bz2.

Download the tarball: TI-wlan-23i3.8.tar.bz2 and unziped with: 

 tar -xjvf TI-wlan-23i3.8.tar.bz2 #This creates the TI-wlan folder

inside the TI-wlan folder is stored the file TI_wifilink-1.2-Linux-x86-Install

Execute this file by double click or ./TI_wifilink-1.2-Linux-x86-Install. Install them by excepting the licence agreement. #This creates the TI_wifilink folder inside of this folder is wilink-firmware and inside is the firmware.bin file.

Download the file system omap-image-sato-zoom3-20100712230324.rootfs.tar.gz stored in PokyL23.i3.8 in your home directory.

install the File System in your SD card. 

 cd /media/disk
 sudo tar -xzvf ~/omap-image-sato-zoom3-20100712230324.rootfs.tar.gz

and copy the WLAN firmware to the file system to make it work. 

 cd wlan
 sudo cp ~/TI_wifilink/wilink-firmware/firmware.bin .

Now the File System is ready to start wlan.
