Problems building the Kernel

Added by Hector Bojorquez over 7 years ago

Hi all,

I´m trying to do the FPGA GPIO Core Example
In the step #1 "Load an FPGA image with a GPIO core component" it sends to see other guide Linux_Kernel

So, following the instructions, we are trying to have the previous requirements, this includes a valid version of GCC Toolchain (we already have it), the git tool (already have it), and then the guide indicates that we need to install additional Ubuntu packages, we are working with the Critical Link VM, so we have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, we have modified the packages list for looking in old releases but, we can´t get the U-boot-tools packages,

I wonder if you have some updated repositories with the u-boot-tools package? or if you have other suggestions or advice for get this problem solved.

Thanks in advance for your time,

Héctor Bojórquez

We are working on releasing new versions of the VM. In the mean time you can change the repos so they point to the "old-releases".

Hi Jonathan,

We followed the instructions in the link, but we continue having problems to get the U-boot-tools package, it updated some other things, but we got this error:

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/u-boot-tools/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

we disabled the pp.launchpad.net link from the update source manager, but we continue with no success finding the u-boot-tools package.

all the log is attached, is there an updated version for the ppa.launchpad link?... it looks that Ubuntu is trying to get the u-boot-tools package through this link

Thanks!

Héctor.

Your right I can't find the u-boot-tools archive anymore.

Luckily the mkimage tool is built by u-boot. So it can be copied to the system so its available in the path.

Instructions partially from https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/arm9-platforms/wiki/Das_U-Boot_Port#Building-u-Boot

cd ~/projects/
git clone git://support.criticallink.com/home/git/u-boot-mitydspl138.git u-boot-mitydspl138
cd u-boot-mitydspl138
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- mityomapl138_config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- 
sudo cp tools/mkimage /usr/bin
