1. Prepare Host Environment:

In Order to follow this manual the host requires 32-bit Ubuntu, better go with LTS
versions of Ubuntu. To install Ubuntu follow the link below.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
Ubuntu doesnt come with all the pre-requisite archives for the development, to prepare
the host for development download the bash shell script which can be available from the
below link. Download and execution steps of the script are as follows.
$wget ftp://ftp.phytec.de/pub/Products/India/phyBOARD-RANAAM335x/Linux/PD13.0.0/tools/scripts/elinux_pkg.sh
$ chmod +x elinux_pkg.sh
$ sh elinux_pkg.sh

1.1 Configuring Services (TFTP, NFS)

1.1.1 Configuring TFTP
Installation of the TFTP Server is as follows; execute the command on Linux shell.
$ sudo apt-get -y install xinetd tftpd tftp
$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot
$ sudo vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
Add the following structure in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file if it is not there or edit if it exists.
service tftp
{
protocol = udp
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = nobody
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = /var/lib/tftpboot -s
disable = no
}
$ sudo service xinetd restart

Testing TFTP Server:

$ sudo cp <file_name> /var/lib/tftpboot
$ sudo chmod +wr R /var/lib/tftpboot
$ tftp localhost
$ get <file_name>
Note : While copy the above command please take care of -. Better to type it manually.

PHYTEC Embedded Pvt. Ltd 2014

If the same file is received without any error from the tftp server then the tftp service is
configured correctly.
To transfer file through tftp between host and target follow steps listed below, configure
the IP address for host by selecting the option Network Connection and modify the related
option. The same can be done through command line interface by issuing the following
command
Host Side Setup :
$ ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.12 up

Note: This will be used as server IP address. Note that 192.168.1.12 is not mandatory you can
give any IP but IP for server and target should not be same
Targert Side Setup :
On Target side issue the command with a different IP as below
$ ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.11 up
Configure the gateway address for target
$ route add default gw 192.168.1.1
Check the default gateway by command
$ route
or
$ /sbin/route -n

Issue the tftp command to transfer the file

$ tftp -r <file_name > -g <server_ip>

PHYTEC Embedded Pvt. Ltd 2014

1.1.2 Configuring NFS Service

First step in NFS service configuration is to decide the path of a directory which is
going to share the RFS. Here in this manual it has been taken as /nfsroot which is to be
created by user by issuing the following command.
$ sudo mkdir /nfsroot

Edit the /etc/exports file and add the below line at the end of the file, save and close it
/nfsroot *(rw, sync, no_subtree_check, no_root_squash)
$ sudo gedit /etc/exports
To restart the service with made changes issue the following commands on the terminal.
$ sudo exportfs ra
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

1.4 Installing Toolchain

This section explains how to install prebuilt toolchain binaries on the Host. Whereas
building of Toolchain is explained in build system section.

1.4.1 Download the Toolchain

Download the prebuild toolchain from the public ftp of PHYTEC from the link below.
$ wget ftp://ftp.phytec.de/pub/Products/India/phyBOARD-RANAAM335x/Linux/PD13.0.0/tools/toolchain/arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf.tar.bz2
You can also download the OSELAS.Toolchain-2012.12.1 source code compile it and
get the toolchain from the below link.
$ wget ftp://ftp.phytec.de/pub/Products/India/phyBOARD-RANAAM335x/Linux/PD13.0.0/tools/toolchain/OSELAS.Toolchain-2012.12.1.tar.bz2

1.4.2 Export the Toolchain to Shell Path

Extract the Toolchain that has downloaded in the above section to the HOME directory. For
extracting the toolchain from GUI you can right click on the oolchain and select Extract.
Same can be done from terminal by issuing the below mentioned command
$ tar xvf arm-cortex8-linux-gnueabihf.tar.bz2
Now write a script that export the target Architecture and toolchain prefix as below.
$ vim env.sh
In the file add the following lines
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=$PATH:/home/<user_name>/<path to toolchain bin>
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf-

PHYTEC Embedded Pvt. Ltd 2014

Save and exit from the editor. Execute the script by issuing
$ . env.sh

Note: The Command is dot space env.sh. Execute the above command for every new shell
where you are trying to start compilation of Linux Kernel or Boot loader
Check whether the toolchain path is set or not by issuing below command
$ echo $PATH
Above command displays the entire paths that are added to Shell PATH variable
separated by colon :. See if your path is printed on the terminal. If you are not able to see
your toolchain path repeat the steps from the beginning of this section.

2 Download prebuilt images:

This section gives the links to all the required binaries to boot the phyBOARD-RANAAM335x using the simplest method using Micro SD card. Partition your Micro SD card.
Follow the Partitioning Micro SD card in Ubuntu section.
All the tested binaries are placed at the public PHYTEC ftp. Follow the links below to
download the binaries.

3 Flashing binaries:

Figure 3.5
Figure shows two methods. The first method used to provide all needed components to
run on the target itself. The Linux kernel image and the root file system image are persistent
in the media the target features. This means the only connection needed is the serial cable to
see what is happening on our target. This method is called standalone. This works after
writing image into NAND which is explained later in the Document.
The other method is to provide needed components via network. In this case the
development host is connected to the phyBOARD-RANA-AM335x with a serial cable and
via Ethernet. The embedded board boots into the bootloader, then issues a TFTP request on
the network and boots the kernel from the TFTP server on the host. Then, after
decompressing the kernel into the RAM and starting it, the kernel mounts its root file system
at phyBOARD-RANA-AM335x Board /root directory.
The latter one is especially for development purposes, as it provides a very quick
turnaround while testing the kernel and the root file system. Other methods like Micro SD
card and NAND have also been discussed.

3.1 Using Barebox bootloader:

3.1.1 Booting from Network:
Now flash Kernel image and rootfs with tftp & nfs. Before using this method make sure
that tftp & nfs-server is working in host side. To test and configure refer section Configuring
Services (TFTP, NFS). Copy the uImage (kernel image) and root filesystem into
/var/lib/tftpboot & /nfsroot respectively.
On Host:
$ sudo cp linuximage /var/lib/tftpboot
$ sudo tar -xvf root.tgz -C /nfsroot
Now switch to minicom terminal, reset the board & press m for barebox menu or type
exit in the shell & select option 3 to boot from network.

3.1.2 Booting from Micro SD card:

For partitioning the Micro SD card refer section Partitioning a Micro SD card in
linux
Copy MLO, barebox.bin, linuximage, root.ubi in first partition (boot) and Root file
system in second partition (rootfs).
On HOST:
Insert the Micro SD card.
$ cp MLO /media/boot
$ cp barebox.bin /media/boot
$ cp linuximage /media/boot
$ cp root.ubi /media/boot
$ sudo tar -xvf root.tgz -C /media/rootfs

On Target:
Insert the Micro SD card and make sure that the pins 3+4 of JP5 is shorted, Power On the
board, press m for barebox menu & select option 2 to boot from SD Card.

3.1.3 Booting from NAND:

If booting from SD Card start from here
barebox@Phytec phyBOARD RANA
barebox@Phytec phyBOARD RANA
barebox@Phytec phyBOARD RANA
barebox@Phytec phyBOARD RANA

As you had seen that in Settings a lot of options are there you can set the network
related things such as IP address in Network settings, etc. You can modify the default
Expansion functionality by changing the 3rd option Expansion settings as shown below.

By default we are providing support for LCD, SPI0, UART1, UART2, UART3, CAN0,
CAN1, 28 GPIOs. As it is mention a lot of options you can pass whatever you want on the
expansion just by passing:
expansion=<Functionality>
Eg. expansion=ALLGPIO (It will provide 70 gpios on the Expansion)
Next if you need Max GPIOs and 1 UART then you have to pass.
expansion=ALLGPIO,UART1
(It will provide 68 gpios and UART1 tx, UART1 rx on the Expansion)
Next if you need Max GPIOs, 1 UART and 1 CAN then you have to pass.
expansion=ALLGPIO,UART1,CAN0
(It will provide 66 GPIOs and UART1 Tx, UART1 Rx, CAN0 Tx, CAN0 Rx on the
Expansion)
