+Technologic Systems TS-4800
|
|
|
+===========================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This document explains how to set up a basic Buildroot system for the
|
|
|
+Technologic Systems TS-4800 System on Module.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The TS-4800 is a TS-SOCKET macrocontroller board based on the Freescale
|
|
|
+i.MX515 ARM Cortex-A8 CPU running at 800MHz. The TS-4800 features 10/100
|
|
|
+Ethernet, high speed USB host and device (OTG), microSD card, and 256MB
|
|
|
+XNAND drive. More details on the board here:
|
|
|
+ http://wiki.embeddedarm.com/wiki/TS-4800
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The TS-4800 is supported by mainline Linux as of 4.5 and by U-boot as of
|
|
|
+v2016-07. The defconfig includes a custom 1st level bootloader located
|
|
|
+in boot/ts4800-mbrboot. This one scans the SD card's partition table to
|
|
|
+find partition having the 0xDA type, corresponding to U-boot.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To build the default configuration you only have to:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ make ts4800_defconfig
|
|
|
+ $ make
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The ouput looks like:
|
|
|
+ output/images/

|
|
|
+ ├── u-boot.bin
|
|
|
+ └── zImage
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The provided post-image script generates an image file containing 3
|
|
|
+partitions for U-boot, Linux kernel + device tree and rootfs
|
|
|
+respectively:
|
|
|
+ $ fdisk output/images/sdcard.img
|
|
|
+ Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
|
|
|
+ output/images/sdcard.img1 1 512 256 da Non-FS data
|
|
|
+ output/images/sdcard.img2 513 16896 8192 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
|
|
|
+ output/images/sdcard.img3 16897 541184 262144 83 Linux
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This image can be directly written to an SD card.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In order to test the image on TS-4800 board, a TS baseboard, such as
|
|
|
+TS-8xxx the serie, is needed to provide power, console header, RJ45
|
|
|
+connector etc.
